Our nominee for nueen of the Fall Festival was Carlene Funck. To make our treasury worthy of the name, we operated the Little Store under the guidance of our advisors.

Our nominee for the king of the Fall Festival was Bill Bowman: for lady-in-waiting, Theresa Rattle. We took our first step toward being nupper-classmenn when we initiated the freshmen in the fall. The first dance of our high school years was held in the spring with decorations in the Oriental theme. As juniors, under the supervision of Mrs. Posey and Mrs. Douglas, the fol- lowing officers were elected: president, Carol Laing: vice-president, Jack Fer- guson: secretary, Jerry Tom: and treasurer, Opal Sheehy. Our candidates, Melka Kerensky and Larry Gross, were elected queen and escort of the Fall Festival. Weeks of work were climaxed by our class taking in more money than any other class ever had. Our next activity was the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. During the first part of our junior year we chose as our class motto: nThe elevator to success is not running--take the stairs,u and blue and white carnations as our class flowers. At last the long-awaited day came when excited juniors could proudly show off class rings. The highlight of our junior year was the J-Hop, the theme cf which was WMy Blue Heaven.W Under the direction of Miss Fritz, student director, Frances Bohlman, our junior play WA Great Big Doorstepn was a huge success. Seniors were our guests at the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Rot- unda Inn. Master-of-ceremonies was Jack Ferguson.
