Juniors The junior year is a time crammed full of money-making projects. This year has been no exception for the busy juniors since they were working for money to finance the banquet and prom and their senior trip. Selling magazines turned out a very profit- able enterprise. Last fall class members sold approximately $1250 worth. On this project the class netted $500. In October the class staged their play, “Dear Papa.” which was a highly successful comedy. Mrs. Johnson directed the play. Operating the concessions at alternate home games required a great deal of students’ time, but it proved worthwhile. Candy, gum, solf drinks, and popcorn helped the fans cheer harder for their teams. May 2 brought the highlight of the junior year and the the school social season, the Junior-Senior Prom. The banquet was de- licious: the gym beautifully decorated; the orchestra smooth. It was an event worth all that went into it. Officers leading the class were Raj' Hie- stand. president; Harvey Arbuckle, vice-presi- dent ; Xancv Hershman, secretary-treasurer. Sophomores The sophomore class has been more active than usual this year. Classes, clubs, class parties, and other activities have' been re- sponsible. Several members of the class were in band, choVus, and glee club The honor roll num- bered many sophomores. Sophomores were members of every club. They worked on the paper and annual. The class sponsored an all school Christmas dance. The weatherman changed the date for evrvone. but the party was enjoyable anyhow. As an income project, the class operated a coat check at basketball games. The idea was successful. One member of the class moved away in February. Patsy Holder’s family went to Donovan. Leroy Murfitt, Judy Patterson, Pat Boelkc, and Ann Fitzgerald were president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer of the class. Freshman The Freshmen were certainly busy this year. After surviving the initiation given to them by the seniors, they settled down to work. Quite a few got on the Distinguished and Honorable Mention List. Nine of them were in the band and many carried off medals in the state and regional musical contests. Loads of parties were given; Christmas, skating, and just plain social events. Most of the boys made the “B” team and were busy practicing their shooting and dribbling whenever possible. The girls were active in 4-H work and in the Sunshine Club. So, as vou can see the Freshmen made up a very versatile and friendly class. The officers were Billy Cline, Bob Nugent, Rita Evans, and Joe Schuster as president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. —21—

They had a watermelon party, weiner year. For the most part everyone was more settled and ambitious, and the grades and classes reflected the spirit. Several parties were held. One of the most enjoyable was the hayride - weiner roast at Margaret and Norman Standish’s home. Mr. Baker was the sponsor. Grade roast. Christmas party, theatre party, and a Valentine party. They had planned a skating oarty but poor weather conditions prevented it. Mr. Tanksley was their very accommodat- ing sponsor. —23—
