The Junior Class—A Thing Not Yet Com- Juniors at last ! After two years of work and play what a thrill it is to be upperclassmen. Some had dropped out during those two years, but ninety-two remained to take over the tasks and responsibilities of juniors. Miss Lewton act- ed as their advisor, assisted by the class officers : James Christen, president ; James Highland, vice- president ; Betty Hamrna, secretary ; Richard Schafer, treasurer. This year the varsity basketball squad ' s first five was composed entirely of juniors. John Mc- Connell, James Highland, Lewis Shoe, Kenneth Gaunt, Clarence Stapleton, Junior Zerkel, and Gilbert Hoffman fought hard to win for the school they represented. On the gridiron we found the following jun- iors: John McConnell, Jim Highland, Marion Friedt, Paul Neidigh, Lewis Shoe, Bob Stalter, Junior Zerkel, Clarence Stapleton, Bob Maloney, Bob Kenworthy, Bill Melchi, Jane Trieker, Ken- neth Gaunt, and Gilbert Hoffman. Although the junior boys were outstanding in sports, when it came to the honor roll, they were conspicuous by their absence. Eight girls represented the junior class on the honor roll. They were Kathryn Knapp, Marjorie Massonne, Ruth Grether, Gladys Miller, Mae Mauller, Flora Marie Lankenau, Betty Hunter, and Barbara Burk. Not only were the girls exceptionally intelli- gent, but they were also actively interested in sports.

plete but— Showing Signs of That to Be— Virginia Shoaf, Kathryn Yager, Lucy Terrell, Mary Steele, Florence Brandyberry, Helen Jean Kohls, Margaret Hufl ' man, Harriet Gilson, Anna- belle Rupert, and Ruth Beineke won the inter-class tournament. In order to raise funds to finance the Junior- Senior Reception, the class presented that hilar- ious farce, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town. The cast included Katherine Knapp, Evangeline Fuhrman, Flora Marie Lankenau, Virginia Shady, Annabelle Doan, Florence McConnell, LaVera Meyer, Bob Schnitz, Ralph Scott, Darwin Ijeitz, and Billy Joe Spahr. Miss Lewton, the class guardian, directed the play. To her goes a large measure of the cred- it for its success. On May 20 the amuial Junior-Senior Recep- tion was held in the gym which was beautifully decorated in the junior and senior class colors. After a short program the remainder of the even- ing was spent in dancing to the music of a well- known orchestra. The committees for this event were as follows: Decorations — Kathryn Yager, Clarence Stapletoii, Rose Mary Huffman, Marjory Foughty, Helen Jean Kohls, Ralph Scott, Mary Steele, Jack Tricker, and Paul Neidigh ; Invita- tions — Marjorie Massoinie, Barbara Burk, Evan- geline Fuhrman, and Eileen Odle; Orchestra — Anna Jane Tyndall, Plorence McConnell, Betty Hunter, Hubert Zerkel, and John McConnell ; Pro- gram — Gladys Miller, Darwin Leitz, Ruth Greth- 3r, and Martha Myers ; Refreshments — Elva Jane Martin, Mae Mauller, Mary Worthman, and Faye Mauller; Social Committee — Jim Christen, Dick Schafer, Jim Highland, and Betty Hamma. jriviORS I ' irst Row; Ardes Brintzenliofe, Rose Mary Cro wn, S lvan Hriiuner.
