Junior Class History September —It ' s back to college now and missing friends of our Sophomore year who are actually “out in the field.” However, we have gained some new members. Mary Prunier, enthusiastic and chock-full of practical jokes. That good pair—Gert and Rita Dwyer. (It took us so long to get them straight. Remember, Rita the redder hair.) Jolly Amy Mattison to keep Philips House stirred up. Bea Taylor and Norma Rowell, roommates, and quality additions to our group. How our classes swell on Wednesdays and Saturdays when degree-pursuing teachers from surrounding towns come in to study with us! Just what we need to keep our noses to the grindstone. And even Miss Markham comes down from the plat¬ form to join us in a few subjects. November— We get a chance to hear first-hand teaching experiences from our graduates. Then co-op with the Seniors to entertain on Home-coming Day, Ruth Peterson officiating successfully at tea. December —The college entertains high school seniors and our class, well represented among Senate members, tells prospective freshmen about pleasurable contacts at Castleton. Our Mary Wiggins projects the Student Cooperative Association she is so forcefully leading. Charlotte Wysolmerski explains the purposes of the Commuter’s Association. Mary Dakin, president of the C. N. S. Players and Charles Nichols, president of the Men’s Union, represent their organizations. Barbara Jones, editor of the Castletone, along with the Birdseye editor, interests prospective workers in literary fields. Doris Lanthier tells about our own class events. As the basketball season rolls around our class furnishes the mainstays of the college team in the persons of Charlie Nichols and Spike Prunier. And the Junior girls don’t fare badly on the basketball court as we hold the Sophomores down and are able to tie that strong Freshman team (after one ignominious defeat). Kay Temple and Marion Drown are still starring on the court. February— We have our first student teaching experience of the year. The three weeks roll by quickly and just as we’re feeling slightly professional, it ' s time to resume our regular student work. March —The proceeds of food sales etc are now used to help finance our delegates to the Eastern States Conference at New York City. Conventions! Bill Jones represents us at Boston and reports on an assembly program. Florence Chase, Mary Wiggins, Mary Prunier and Doris Lanthier attend the Eastern States and Rhoda Lyons arranges a class tea where they share their experiences with the larger group. April —Again we are out in the field for a two week ' s experience. And around comes June —The climax of a busy year. Teas, picnics, the Prom, and finally we are actually receiving those sheep-skins. A grand year. We’ve so much to remember. How can we forget? twenty-seven
