Ve elected Robert Hovlous as our Class President. Our first com- bined efforts were in conducting a White nephant sale at the Carnival. The year of the great expansion-1903-lsarked the addition of 11+ new members to our class. That year we had a Penny Toss at the Carnival, a suggestion of President Rich Flisik, of course. As l'reshies,ou.r activities expanded: a never to be forgotten hsyrideg our first attempt at dranatics, 'Life with I1lly', starring Bill Swann: and a class picnic at Snow Road lremenber the lack of food cone supper tinell. Bob Hovlons wielded the presidential gavel that year, too. hat was also the year Don Brown and Richard lllsik decided to try their hands at the culinary arts. they surprised Miss Burst with a birthdq cake, which they tossed together in the Home lc.

We added a few more shekela to our class treasury with a Ping Pong Toss at the Carn- ival and a Barn Dance. le were also strong contenders for the One-Act Play placque with 'Bobby Sox . One of the leading characters was a live chicken. Again we ended up the year with a picnic at Snow load. President 'Duke' Flisik directed us through a very busy year as Juniors. We started the social ball rolling by sponsoring a Star Light Dance. At the Carnival we combined our efforts with the Seniors and sponsored a Turkey Raffle. Later we joined forces egain and brought the Range Elders to perforn. After mach battle with teuperanents and coal shortages, we finally staged the Junior three act play, 'The Y1sitor'.

After all his work our president couldn't eat, worrying over his speech, but everyone else spent an evening to be renenbered.

Speaking of time--we hear Bob Ailor has lots of time on his hands--he's a watchmaksr. He's also president of a moving picture show chain. Hs personally supervises construction of all sets. His biggest problem at the moment is trying to catch the roving reporter and would-be lawyer, Millicent Zim- merman, to write up a new contract for Barbara Matyk to play in the dramatic musical with Marge Bombs, top character act- ress of the day. Rumor has it that Richard Fllsik is to be the villain! Bob Hovious may take leave of absence from his engineering office to play the hero! Carol James and Dorothy Zemba are also in Bob's hair! They started out to be secretaries, but it was too much work, so they decided to become executives. They made a million on their book nStenographers Do Little and No More' and are try- ing to interest Bob in the screen rights. Passing down Ridge Boulevard we come to the ULive and Let Live' Hospital and recognize its founders, 3 nurses, Marge Delzeit. Ethel Shbo, and Barbara Smith--and chief dietition Betty Kyser--They founded the hospital in 1950 and are pretty proud of themselves. Of course they haven't any doctors or patients yet--but that's a minor operation! Have patience fjokel, girls.
