Many prizes were given; some of them were Parker pencil sets, wrist watches, radios, ukeleles and pop corn poppers. Among the various other campaigns we had charge of a waste paper drive. Also, personalized stationery, napkins and mailing cards were sold. The class rings were purchased in the latter part of November. The Junior Class play entitled “We Shook the Family Tree” was presented on March 28 and was directed by Miss Mary Ann Lucas. After all the hard work in the various money-making projects we ended our Junior year with the annual Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. It was held in Sports- man’s Lodge in Decatur on May 17. Bob Bauer’s orchestra played for the dancing. BETHANY HIGH SCHOOL-1952
