The class also chose Margaret Bridgeland and Franny Noyes to represent them on the Student Council. The Junior class points with pride to the basketball boys from their class. Franny Hogan, Vernie Daters, Franny Noyes, and Jerry Piper all helped to make up Byron’s two fine teams. One of the biggest events of the year was the annual Christmas Dance, held on December 13. The Junior class had as its theme, “Winter Wonderland,” and a very , appropriate theme it was, considering the snow and the very low temperature that evening. Tiny Menzie’s orchestra furnished the music for the event. The very attrac- tive coke bar added to the already festive decorations. The second of the big events of the Junior Class was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held in May. SIXTEEN
