The 19 4 6 Reuilonian Our abilities as salesmen were displayed as we triumphed over the Seniors in a magazine contest. We found that all our labor was worth while when the defeated Seniors awarded us a super party with refreshments and every- thing. We really had fun that night. Our class plays, Freddie Plays Cupid, which starred Gail Collins, Betty Rowland, Loretta Gillum, Glen Menshouse, Judy Fouts, Tony Basenback, and Virginia Ferguson, and In May With June, which featured Frances Kouns, Dallas Gillum, Bob Kimbrell, Bill Vallance, Betty Callihan, Betty Brown, Ruth Millis, Danny LeRoy, and Berta Kirk, were great hits, with everyone agreeing that these Juniors really had talent. All our activities were pointing toward one goal: an extra-special Junior- Senior Prom. In the middle of May we reached this goal. Working like beavers, we decorated the gym, not in the usual class colors, but in every shade of the rainbow. The nite club effect used in our decorations scheme was both unique and beautiful. That indirect lighting was really popular. Betty Brown was crowned Prom Queen, and her attendants were: lleen Harris, Ernestine Hoffman, Betty McKenzie, and Mildred Brown. Our matchless decorations, coupled with the best orchestra available, made this prom an outstanding one-one that will long be remembered. On this note of triumph we ended our Junior year and eagerly awaited our positions as Seniors, with all its dignity and importance. and the feeling of superiority over all the other classes. Our minds CU were occupied with thoughts of graduation and with choosing our class colors, Scarlet and Grey, and our class flower, a Red Rose. We chose for our officers: Judy Fouts, President: Dallas Gillum, Vice President: Christyna Fosson, Secretary, and Danny LeRoy, Treasurer. However, we found time for many other activities: in our annual maga- zine sales contest, the Juniors Cby fair or foul methodsj managed to reach a few more prospective magazine buyers than we Seniors and, since more subscriptions mean more money, the Junior class waltzed off with the title of champion salesmen of Russell High School. They were oiiicially endowed with this title of respect at a party given in their honor by the generous Seniors who didn't really mind the defeat. Our play, Campus Quarantine, broke box-office records and the general opinion was that it was the best play yet. At the close of a highly successful football season the jubilant Red Devils selected Polly Putnam as their Queen. She was crowned after the last game at a dance sponsored by the Senior class. Under the able direction of Coach E. M. Tyler our basketball team was runners-up in the l6th Regional Tournament. At the close of the regular season the team chose Christyna Fosson as their Queen for the basketball season of '45-'46, These last four years have been happy ones. Our teachers and principal have done all that human beings could possibly have done to make our time here both profitable and pleasant. Our association with one another has been pleasant, too, and fruitful of lasting friendships that will continue for the remainder of our lives. Whatever our success and future happiness, I am sure that each one of us will be able to look back on our days at Russell High School and say, Those were the four happiest years of my life.
