Class Adviser The Junior Class of 1939 has now successfully fulfilled three years as members of the student body of Montello High School. The Class has decreased considerably in size tsince it began its career as a group, having now but twenty-five members, in comparison with an enrollment of forty in 1936. The members of this class are also very active in the various organizations. They have representatives in the Home Econom- ics Club, the Local Chapter of the Future Farmers of America; Girls' Chorus, Band, Basketball teams, and the Forensic Club. As a preparation for the crowning social event of the school year, the Junior Prom, the Class worked untiringly to provide the reserve with which to defray expenses of swinging'l this formal affair. At each of the three school parties which were sponsored by the Juniors during the past year,they sold candy and pop for the purpose of adding to their funds. The Prom was the same gala affair that a M. H. S. prom always has proven to be. The gay crowd of young folks all danced to the lilting strains of Earl Kemp's Orchestra, and all members of this Class felt sufficiently rewarded for their efforts t make the Prom of 1939 a succeSs. Clayton Tobin, John Buchen, Maurice Metcalf, Herbert Hallmann, Charles John, James Buchen.

Ten of them belong to the band and orchestra, seven are participants in forensic work, four are serving on the weekly news staff, and five are members of the Girls' Chorus. Seven of the second- year people attained places on the honor roll at least once during the year, and Don Wetlaufer brought honor to his class by being elected to the position of llMost Ambitious Student in the Hilltopper pOpularity poll. In athletics five boys and three girls were out for basket- ball, and seven boys were members of both the baseball and the volley ball teams, The Sophomore softball and volley ball teams were defeated only by the mighty Seniors. 0n the All Star squads the Sophs were represented by five boys in soft- ball and three boys in volley ball. One of the leading social events of the year was the initia- tion party accorded the Fresh by the Sophs. This marked the opening of the new athletic field to school activities, as wall as the destruction of tons of sandwiches and barrels of cocoa. . ll
