Last but not least on May 14th we would hit the front page with our Junior Prom. The girls in their colorful gowns and the boys in their Sunday best spending a happy time on a gleaming floor would be in order. As we look to the day when we must close the door on our junior year, we feel that we have made an excellent approach to our scholastic goal and view the coming senior year with con- fidence and eagerness. As a final word, we wish to thank Miss June Bodach for her exception- ally fine work as our advisor during the current year. 14
