Any junior will tell you he is a member of the best class in high school. There were thirty-seven of us who entered high school as poor green Freshmen and who spent the first week barging into the wrong rooms searching for our classes. In our Freshman year we lost Sarah Osman, Donna Salmon, Bruce Crisp, Charles Thompson, Kenneth Hamilton, Jackie Haskell, Morris Reynolds, and jackie Buzzard who left us at the end of the Freshman year. As Sophomores we had very little responsibility for school activities, al- though some of our girls got to wait on their upper classmen at the Iunior-Senior Banquet. We lost Rozella Claywell, Steven Gibson, Bertha Deaton, Nella Horn, Ioan Richey, Margaret Huckleberry, Martha McCarty, Thelma Lewis, Alfred L. Cathcart, Betty Beavers, and Linton Abner who moved away at the end of the year. We ended the year with a weiner roast at the scout cabin. The class passed into the Iunior year. Ahl The junior Year, one of the outstanding events was the junior Class play THE BARGAIN BRJDEH. At the present time we juniors are busy with plans for the junior-Senior Reception. K The junior Class of 1945-46 started the year largely waiting the arrival of their class rings. About two weeks after school had started we received them and displayed them proudly. We then waited the arrival of the time when we could start on our class play. Time seemed to pass very slowly, but after what seemed to be months we finally received our play books and got started on our rehearsals. The name of our play was The Bargain Bride. It was given the 5th of December The cast was as follows: IIMMY SMITH--Robert Christie: He is always sending in radio contest slogans DEXTER DORNER--Clyde Lewis Cwhom we borrowed from the senior classj Dexter is having girl trouble. If he isn't married by a certain time he won't get his inheritance. MINNTE PETERSON- -Maxine Burdhead: She is the Swedish maid who wants to marry Dexter. WTNDY HILL--Ioan Pearsey: She is Iimmy's girl friend.

The first semester was just about over and we had just received the terri- ble news that no one would be exempted from any of the examinations Kas if any of us would anywayl. We got through them without too much injury to our intelligent minds. We started our second semester with the thoughts of our junior and Senior reception in mind. It wasn't long until we began to start working on it. The orch- estra we hired for our dinner and dance programs was Aaron Cox and his orch- estra from Seymour, Indiana. It is going to be formal on May 9, 1946. We are also selling boxes of personal stationery and we have received a prof it of 322.432 We are now busy on making our tickets for the show which we are sponsoring this month. The name of the show is The Girl of the Limberlostn. The remaining part of the year will keep the class busy and we are expecting a Very successful reception. .
