Junior History This year's junior class started the year by electing Mr. Kreider. sponsor: Vard Ellis, president: Bemis Martin, vice-president: Marjorie Leinhart, sec- retaryg and Anna McDowell, treasurer. It has been the custom of the junior class to sponsor the skating parties. This year was no different than the past years as they were attended by a large crowd. The juniors wish to thank the student body for its cooperation in attending these parties and helping to make them a success. For our class play We selected and presented Shiny Nose, a comedy in three acts, directed by Mr. Kreider. We closed the year with the junior-senior banquet. We would also like to thank Mr. Kreider for the help he has given us and We hope he has enjoyed working with us. The 1943 Concordian 21
