II Class of'48 The Junior Class has enjoyed an active and profitable year. In November we had a Junior sports dance which was fol- lowed in December by the spectacular Christmas Ball. Novel decorations and fine music attracted a record attendance to make this a huge success. For their dramatic contribution, the Class of ’48 presented a mystery-comedy. ' The Phantom Bells.” This proved to be of high entertainment value, not only to the audience but to the cast and directors as well. These activities were under the able supervision of our class officers: President .............................Ronald Aplin Vice-President.................................James Haydon Secretary......................................Norma Harkins Treasurer.....................Mary Jeanne Delaney Our advisor, Mrs. Safron, and numerous class committees. The Junior Class seems to have an abundance of athletes — both boys and girls. The football squad felt the weight of Van Dusen s and Wilcox’s ability to throw long passes. The varsity basketball team couldn’t get along without Van Derveer’s set shots and the J.V.’s certainly knew that Snow. Russ. Barnum and Steele were there. These boys were aided by the cheering ability of Shirley Ridall, Norma Harkins. Mary Peder- son. Barbara Bond. Rosalie Reeves and June Howard. The baseball squad felt the pitching power of Wilcox, plus the fielding of Russ. Barnum. Steele and a host of others. Both the Junior boys and girls interclass basketball teams had a good season. The teams who went to the state bowling tournament included many Juniors, as did the volleyball and softball teams. The Juniors are also well represented in Journalism. Band and Chorus. Particularly noteworthy is Barb Bond s singing ability. As the year draws to a close, we are all looking forward to the annual class picmc which will be our last time together as Juniors — we hope.
