She was very frightened at the boisterous upperclassmen, especially when the; told her she had to wear a long dress and crawl up the incline and many other things in order to be initiated into high school. After initiation, her life was quite normal and peaceful again. She came back to school the next fall to have a rollicking good time initiating the incoming freshmen— she even helped plan a very successful party for them. Lady Luck was with her this year for she got first prize for having the most profitable concession at the carnival— milk bottles . The girl, who is no longer little or timid, was very disappointed to find in the elections of her junior year that she wasn't as popular as Calvin Sasse, who was voted class president, Keith Walker, vice-president, Betty Olson, secretary, Fred Lusby, treasurer, or even Lee Lindsley, the sergeant-at-arms. But she helped present What a Life , the class play, which was a great attraction. On April 25, she was escorted to the prom in honor of the seniors, to see the gym transformed into a pretty country garden with the usual wishing well. Most of the events of her school life were not outstanding but she participated in all the school activities and lived a normal high school life. Although this clever junior girl is looking forward to all the exciting times a senior has, she still thinks her class has done very well to date and will continue
