SLEEPY TIME GAL JUNIOR PLAY, THL WHOLE TOWN’S TALKING HUH?

Page 33 text:

THE JUNIORS When the school bells rang on September 14, 1942, there were only twenty-eight members in the junior class compared to the sixty-one that had entered in 1940. The slight decrease between the freshman and sophomore years widened and became more noticeable during the sophomore and junior years. The class officers for the year were chosen and Lyle Galloway became the new president with Nina MacDonald as vice-president; Irene Driscoll, secretary; and Mary Hall as treasurer. Their advisers were Miss Wil-lers, Mr. Robbins, and Mr. Ely. As stated in the 1942 Memolog, The class as a whole did not make the honor roll as consistantly as they had the year before ; this is still a true statement. The social distinction of the class as freshmen and sophomores was not outstanding but this year it has improved considerably. Being original in ideas, the juniors decided to have their Prom in December instead of the usual time in April. The theme was White Christmas and it was carried out by having a huge silver star in the middle with red and white streamers leading from it. Other decorations carried out the theme. Due to circumstances beyond its control, the liabilities of the class exceeded its assets and, to say the least, the class was financially embarrassed. But after the class play had been given, the class was once again in good standing with the world and had re-established its self-respect.
