IUNIOR HISTORY Cn September 3, 1945 six studious juniors entered the famous Hall of Education, Willis High School. During September the jun- ior Class election was held, 'the following results: Dale Zimmerman , President, Don Knudson, Vice-President, Donovan johnson, Secretary and Treasurer. ' f Early in the year the class started the Junior Play. The Iuniors presented the play littering Spooks on November lo, l945. The play was a 3-act mystery farce in which, Gwendolyn Culpepper was search- ing for a secret formula hidden in her Grandfather's mansion. Gwen was resolved to find it, but from the very beginning it was clear that there were evil forces about which meant to scare her away. The gloomy housekeeper hints of super-natural terrors, there were ghos- tly sounds, and apparitions all through the play. All during the play Gwen's life seemed threatened. She hired a detective to help her out. Gwen realized it was absurd to put such a man against, for instance, the weird Hindu butler, who was or was not friendly. Then Tommy walks in. Gwen had quarrelled with him and had given him an angry Uno. He followed her and resolved to get her to change her mind. The play had an exciting climax and a happy ending. The characters were: Gwendolyn Culpepper, Ioan Larson, Martha Dfgabody, Delores Ross, Tommy Brown, Donovan johnson, Ali Ben Hassen, Marvin Kalegt Tobias Whiffleduff, Dale Zimmermang Dummy, Hudson. A few weeks after the play the juniors wereentertained, at the apartment of Miss Flagler where Miss Flagler and Mrs. Heffelfinger served a delicious dinner. After dinner everyone joined in a monop- oly game. A pantomine entitled The Lamp Went Out was presented as the assembly program of the Iunior Class on February 20. The Iuniors honored the Senior graduation class with a Latin American Festival for the junior-Senior Banquet. The festival was held April 19, at the Cobuns Cafe at Hiawatha. ' Cn March 20, the Juniors sponsored the School Master's Ban- quet to raise their class funds. SCPHCMORF.
