JUNIORS President ----------- Paul Richey Vice-President---Dorothy Schold Secretary---------Doris Edwards Treasurer ---------- -Frank Zeien On the first day of school in September the class of 1956, composed of forty- three girls and the same number ot boys, took their places as Freshmen. The first few days were spent in getting acquainted with teachers, classrooms, and fellow students. Several weeks later the dreaded Juniors put us 'freshies' through the toll of 1n1t1at1on,wh1ch ended with a party on the football field. At the Antioch Country Fair we chose to sell knick-knacks, at which we succeeded in clearing quite a sum of money. In our Sophomore year we sold candy, pop, cracker-Jack, and watermelons. As Sophomores our class won first place in the Inter-class Play tour- nament with the play, 'L Weakness for Nurses'. The award was a shield on which the names of the contestants were printed, a trophy of which we are very proud. le ended that year with a picnic at Ferris' woods, where everybody participated in baseball, even the girls. Our first two years were most successful ones under the guidance of Miss Cur- ran and lr. Hackett. In our Junior year we welcomed lr. Stillson as our new ad- viser to take the place of lr. Hackett,who had transferred to Leyden High School. At the fair this fall everyone worked diligently in decorating our booth and get- ting lt ready for the sale of confections. We Juniors showed our originality by holding a dance in the commercial room two nights of the fair, a project which proved very profitable. when the basketball season rolled around, we were well represented on both squads. Four of our boys were active on the first team: and two, on the second. They have proved themselves to be promising material for next season. Early in the month of December we held a dance for the Jun1ors,whlch was such a success that another followed two weeks later. These dances were planned in order that all the Juniors would be able to participate in the prom. The biggest event of the year is to be the Junior prom,wh1ch will be given Is ll. lhen the guests arrive, they will find themselves in a lovely Japanese garden, which we hope to make one of the most effective settings ever planned for an An- tioch High School prom. This activity and the publishing of the HSequo1a,' in which the Juniors have taken an active part, will conclude our third year, the busiest of our high school career. 20
