The Juniors decided as their activity for the first semester a the- atre party at Galesburg. The date set was November 12, 1943, and the show they saw was Let's Face lt, at the Orpheum. Late fall found the Juniors bidding farewell to one of their class- mates, Dale Johns, who reported for duty in the armed forces. Our Secretary-Treasurer, Carolyn Crane left the group and moved to North Dakota in March. Her office was capably filled by Dorothy Wiladena Nelson. The annual Junior and Senior Prom was held Friday night, May 5, 1944, in the High School Auditorium. The theme was a surprise to the Seniors since the Juniors succeeded in keeping it a secret until the night of the banquet. The gym was attractively decorated carrying out the Southern theme. A typical Southern three-course meal was served. The colonial mansion with its stately white pillars entended to all the feeling of Southern hospitality. A golden moon shone down brightly on the Southern belles and their escorts as they danced along the star-lit terrace to the music of a local orchestra. After many months of eager anticipation the Junior Class Rings arrived! The usual griping about the size was endured by Miss Mc- Kenna. The year's activities were brought to a successful finish by an outdoor supper followed by a theatre party.
