The Junior-Senior play Six Wives On A Rampage was one of the main events of the year. Bernice Rueter was the stage manager. All the rest of the class had parts in the play. Another highlight was the Junior -Senior Banquet which was held at the Lincoln Hotel. The theme was centered around volleyball which was forked out by the Juniors.
