JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Three years ago about65 untemnd and beshful freshmen unroll- ed et Breckenridge High. The fears thet were thrust upon us by the upper classmen were found out to be mostly fakes,for initia- tion day proved to be quite a treat to the Bag Attired girls end the boys with Turned up Pantaloons . As the time rolled by we became more accustomed to city life so by the next spring we were quite able to enjoy a l»;wn party riven in our honor, by the Sophomores, at Betty Caywood'a home. By the time we were sophomores moat of us had learned the fundamentals of football and many of us were always there, end since we had somerhat mastered the art of dancing, were present at most of the parties. In the spring we gave a party, in the gymnasium, in honor of the Freshmen. Kate Smith end Joe Penner were reily portrayed at this perty. Our number is considerably decreased this year, but we're still known by our culet and subdued voices. A Hallowe'en Maa- quarade Ball was given this year insteed of a J-Rop. From all the Pirates,Witches end clowns, Louise Hook, es a gey Pirate and Art- hur iLillbaugh, aa a big tine gambler , received awards for hav- ing the best costumes. Our class play One I'nd Night was given Feb. 23 in the auditorium. We are now looking forward into our Senior year, hoping to have lots of success and fun in our last year of school. —Louise Kuse JUNIOR COSTUME BALL The Junior Class sponsored one of the gayest parties of the year with their Hallowe'en Masquerade Ball. The high school gym took on a gloomy and spooky atmosphere with the aid of corn stalks, pumpkins, and various types of bones (bovine for the most pert). Jerry Corbett's orchestra furnished music for the dancing under the bright-colored lanterns which cast shadowy beems down on the costumed crowd. Prizes were awarded for the best and the funniest costumes and everyone took part in a confetti battle during intermission. The perty took the place of the usual J-Hop and it was voted a huge success by all who attended. 12

PATRICK'S DANCL The Class of '38 once again deviated from custom when they decided to forego the semi-formal Senior Prom in fevor of an in- formal affair for fun and frolic. A large crowd attendee, ana apparently enjoyed themselves fully. Contributing to the gaiety of the occasion, neper nache snow balls and carnival hats were distributed Just before inter- mission. Favors in the form of shamrocks with small clay pipes and hats attached were given to each guest at the door.
