Through the cooperation of the class, this year has been a huge success. We have sponsored several high school dances at which everyone has enjoyed himself. Our play One Delirious Night, besides being lots of fun, was a financial success. We thank Mr. Gill for his excellent direction and the cast for their fine performances. We are looking forward to the prom which will be the biggest event of our Junior year. We plan to carry out a fiesta theme with South of the Border as our theme song.
