At each of the home basketball games the Juniors sold hot dogs, popcorn, candy, and pop. Other money making projects for the year included the selling of candy to the students at noon and picking up com last fall. The Junior-Senior prom and banquet were held on May this year. A1 Pizzamiglio and his band provided the music for the prom. The Juniors did a very commendable job planning and decorating for the prom and banquet. In all, the Juniors had a very successful year. Much of the credit must be given to one of our new teachers who act ed as our class sponsor this year.

THE JUNIORS PRESENT On October 20. 1956, the Junior Class presented their play, The Red House Mystery . This was the first mystery to be presented here for some time. Under the fine direction of Mrs. Brak the play was a success. Presenting a play gave the participants a lesson in speech and poise as well as providing an opportunity to work together and to earn some money for the class. The small pictures are snaps taken at dress rehearsal. The large picture shows a typical rehearsal with those Juniors who are not giving lines working on the scenery. THE CAST Mark Ablett . . . .
