These Juniors are a busy bunch, hustling this way and that. Why are they hustling? To make money to sponsor the Junior and Senior Prom on May 5th. During the year they put on a very good play called “Boarding House Reach.” Also they served a fish dinner at an Agricultural meeting of the county which was held in the gym. During the year they had a candy sale, and this class should be summed up as ambitious. —14— J'n-) t men First Row: Phyllis Whaley. Phyllis Cline. Wilma Wright. Barbara Martin.

First aid was delt with to some extent with every one trying their hand at giving artificial respiration. Films were shown to help supplement the reading material. The 1st Semester the girls learned many new methods in cook- ing. They prepared meals for each group. The 2nd Semester the girls arc making new clothes for them- selves and different members of the family. Some of the girls got in too big a hurry and sewed their fingers. —20— WironotnieJ At the first of the year the Seniors studied U. S. Government and a few things they learned was how to vote, and how bills are passed in both Houses. We were glad when the 2nd Semester rolled around for we took up a new subject called Economics. We learned how to make Trade Agreements with foreign countries; and how to carry on business through the Bank. oommeraa The advanced typing class has concentrated this year on im- proving typing control and speed. Much time was sent on learn- ing office procedures, office forms, and legal documents. The Speed Demons (pin winners too) of the year are: Margaret Whaley 75.2; Velma McKim 63.8; Dorene Deno 61; Kenneth Ek- strom 55.8; Marion McCarty 54; Marilyn Lyons 53.8. ■21— ■Ji, The new shop is located in the east end of the music building. The seven upper grades have been working in there this year. Some tools purchased new at the beginning of the year are: a new lathe, a hand saw and a stone grinder. The boys have made a lot of useful articles in shop that can be used around the home. Such as lamps, waste baskets, knife holders, corner shelves, and cabinets. Robert Schurtter is the teacher. __22___ In Mathematics this year as far as the Geometry students are concerned just parts of it are fun. the rest is interesting. Take for instance this picture. The boys seem to be enjoying themselves with their piece of chalk and string. Math is a subject that tends to make a person think before doing. THE P First Row: Wilson (Coach), Philip Whaley.
