Our first major dramatic undertaking was Socially Ambitious , a three act comedy directed by Miss Postlcwait in which 14 members took part. Our second great enterprise was tho Junior-Senior Banquet whic! was presented in May at the Methodist Church. The outstanding foa-turo of this program was the Vera Pearl Kemp Ensemble. The candidates for Prom King and Queen were Louise Wright and Bill Martinic. Jim Tuttle and LaVerne 3ockcr led tho Grand March for the Prom which turned out to be very successful.

A new feature was the matinoo given for the grade schoo children. All seniors helped in one way or another to make it a success. With the aid of Miss Postlcwait in English we printed some outstanding editions of tho school paper the Lpotlight.
