Donna Spitler twirled in the marching band. janet Shillington, Marjorie Castleman, Shirley Pate, Ardeth Lueck, and Della McGrath were active members of the girls' sextet. The jun- ior girls took an important part in both first and .second glee clubs. Donna Denby was the vice- president of G.A.A. and janet Shillington, the reporter. Many juniors were active in this organi- zation. Science Club had a great many members from the junior class as did the Doughboys, journalism, and other clubs. Worthy of special mention are the four junior cheerleaders, who were such enthusiastic sup- porters of the teams at all games: Leona Little- field, Beverly Sumners, Matina Preftakes, and Shirley Eyler. The juniors were very active in athletics, and the entire school was especially proud of Robert WVilson and Merle Wilson, who received second places in the state wrestling tournament, and ,john Rowen, who was a champion in the same event. Willis Muhlenbruch, Robert Melhus, Le- Roy Schaumburg, and Edward Southard made a fine showing in this activity and lettered in it.
