Iuniors The Juniors comprised the smallest class in Dayton High School this term with 41 A's and 20 B's. JUNIOR PROMENADE Juniors and Seniors who luckily got a date for and to the junior prom this year found themselves miraculously whisked across the Atlantic and the Med- itteranean to fair Italy, land of sun and Duce. The high school gymnasium was transformed during the first part of the evening into a recfangular vineyard set in the midst of the wine production valleys in Italy. Soft lights, great purple and blue clusters of grapes and shin- ing white latticework combined to give the appearance of a genuine Italian grape arbor with a modcrnistic slant. Music for the dancing students and faculty was provided by the High School Dance band, nominally, Merideth's Rhythm Makers, Two vocals were fur- nished by Bill Dick, drummer in the band, The new speaker system was used to amplify the music of the orchestra, Delicious refreshments were served consisting of cold punch. coffee and cho- colate covered cream puffs filled with ice cream. During the intermission while refreshments were being served three tap-dancers entertained. The success of the prom was the result of the efforts of Miss Hatch, Junior Class advisor, and the Junior Class. Besides financing the annual Junior Prom, the Junior class this year con- tributed an appropriation of S25 to the Nesika Wawa fund and underwrote one of the all-high school dances.

Senior B's Only slightly smaller than that of last year this year's graduating class was distinguished by the activity of its members as well as the high scholastic aver- age of the class as a whole. The 86 people who made up the group were divided into 67 senior A's and l9 senior B's. A large number participated in the sports program with many boys engag- ing in three sports and one or two in four. Senior football lettermen who will be available for next year's squad are Captain-elect L E Van Buskirk, Lloyd Rainwater, Marion Weatherford and Jim Tewalt. The basketball team was composed largely of seniors who will not be back next year. The advance in rating of the Crimson D was due in great measure to the efforts of the seniors who held positions of responsibility on the staff. Like- wise, many seniors contributed material for the Nesika Wawa. Music, both vocal and instrumental drew a large portion of its participants from this year's graduates. Leads in the annual operetta, Oh, Doctor, were taken by eight of these people, ten played in the school orchestra, and nine were members of the band. Half the members of the girls' sextette and the boys' quartette were seniors. The senior class necessarily handles the largest volume of business of any class in school. Included in this were sponsoring the class play, financing the annual sneak. sending a delegation to the high school conference in Pullman, engaging commencement and baccalaureate speakers, decorating the grave of Dr, Pietrzycki, purchasing class jewelry, announcements and cards, and select- ing colors, flowers and motto. The group was capably directed in these activ-' ities by Darrel Marks the first semester and Bill Dick the second. In spite of a multitude of activities this class was able to maintain an ex' cellent scholastic record. The four-year average of the entire group was 85.14. Twenty had averages of 90 or better. Dale Courtney, the valedictorian, had an average of 97, the highest it is possible to achieve. During this last year four other seniors earned the straight A report cards necessary to membership on the high honor roll, They were Lenore Cecil, Marguerite McCauley, June Knott and Bernice Boone. 17
