THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class with an enrollment of forty-four has become one of the most important classes of the school. We have heretofore drifted along unnoticed and without any special duty, but we can look back this year and see that we have contributed a great deal to our school. This makes us feel very proud. Our room is well represented in athletics. We gave Ruth Miller, Jewell Pennington, and Anne Mc- Cluen as our share to the girls’ basketball team; the boys, not to be outdone, gave Marvin Graham and Martin Porcha to the boys’ team. Then, too, no other class gave more to the football team than we did; Graham, Body, Davis, Haynes, and Tucker, who are also material for next year. The Junior Class has also taken an active part in the musical and dramatic side of school activities. Ten of our members are members of the band. In Glee Club some of our class have been members since its organization in 1938. Quite a bit of talent was shown in our assembly program. To prove to you that we are on the side of the right, we present five Safety Patrolmen from our room to keep us in line. We have ten girls from our class to prove what hidden talents are in those home- makers of tomorrow. To help take care of the business side of the school we gave twenty-four of our classmates to the commercial class. With all these activities to our credit, we, the Junior Class of 1940, shall strive to make our Senior year fuller and better for ourselves and for the school. THE TENTH GRADE Scattered here and there among the rooms of high school is the organization known as the tenth grade. They are not exactly outcasts but they have no specified home-room teacher. This, as well as their many accomplishments, makes them a remarkable group. Members of the class join willingly and whole- heartedly into all school activities from athletic competition to getting the most subscriptions for the Annual Fund. “Jerry” Wells deserves special mention for his contribution to the latter enterprise. On the gridiron, the class was represented by Herman Giles and Hoyt Moore. Hoyt also gained all- tournament honors for his work on the basketball court. Musical inclination is proven by the presence of twenty per cent of the class in the School Band. That this engagement in extra-curricular activities has not interfered with the scholastic ability of the class is shown by the representation in the Beta Club.
