JUNIOR CLASS 1944-45 The Junior Class held its first meeting for the election of its leaders for the year. They were: Anis Mitchell, president, Tony Gutierrez, viee-pres- identg Rose Sanchez, secretary-treasurer, Gloria Gonzalez and Joe Patrick, forum members. The very successful year started out by the sponsoring of NShow Business' at the theatre. Three days later the theatre burned down. A delightful Thanksgiving dance carrying out the holiday theme was given in November. Hauphty paper turkeys were used as favors. . In December, the Juniors made possible the performance of 'Birch, Easter Magician,n much to the delight of the student body. Due to this presentation, the Junior Class Play was forfeited. . Later, during the Sixth War Loan Drive, the Juniors showed their patriotism by raffling two 325 bonds. On February 16, the Juniors presented by far the best assembly of the year with a Teacher Skit and The Stage Door Canteen. The students who portrayed fac- ulty members were: Hr. Darsey--Anis Mitchell, Mrs. Craig--Betty Ruth Fry, Mr. West--Joe Patrick, Mrs. Gerner--Gloria Gonzalez, Mr. Berger--Norman Mitchell, Miss Belshawb-Joyce Maynard, Mrs. Ward--Frances Ware, Mrs. Houghton--Virginia Davidson, Mrs. Augustadt--Pauline Besich, and Mrs. Haught--Wilma McClain. Bill Corn played the part of Dud Walker, janitor. Appearing in the Stage Door Canteen were such stars as: Harry James--Tony Gutierrez, Donna Drake--Anis Mitchell, Judy Canova--Artemisa Sanchez, Jerry Colona--Carlos Martinez, Hazel Scott--Flora Vieitez, Ischcabibble--Gipriano Haro, and many more great stare. The gayest and most informal event sponsored by the class was the annual Barn Dance given on April 20. Saddles, spurs and hay made clever decorations which put everyone in the spirit of the occasion. The final goal, the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was held on April 27, and was a wonderful success. The delicious banquet was served in the recreation hall, and the auditorium was gorgeously decorated for dancing. The whole Junior class worked together to give the departing Seniors something to remember. During 'the year, our male population slightly decreased, but there were enough boys to make a very good showing in football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Most of the boys left the class to serve in Uncle Sam's forces,but others left for various reasons. Dorothy McKeen, Lilly Hing, and Bertha Maldonado also left our ranks to join the Senior class. A Although we have decreased in nu ber, we have tried to make this year our most prosperous one in high school, and in our estimation we have done a good job. The Junior Class offers its 'sincere gratitude to its sponsors, Hrs. Gerner and lr. Berger, for their wonderful support in all the class activities. A
