JUNIO The Junior Class entered Delphi High School in September, 1944 with eighty-six members. Our first year we elected the following officers: Dorothy Newell, president, C. J. Hyman, vice president, Joan Clifford, secretary, and Ruby Slack, treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Ariel Green and Mr. Arden Russell. Our second year we elected the following offic- ers: Robert Mills, president, Bob Schooler, vice- president, Mary Kathleen Fife, secretary, and Bill Myers, treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Robey and Mr. Victor. We chose royal blue and white as our class colors. We followed in the footsteps of our predeces- sors by initiating the freshmen of 1945. We re- vived the old tradition of making the girls dress as boys and the boys dress as girls for the day and evening of the initiation. This year as we mounted the stairs we had a feeling of distinction. We were Juniors! We elect- ed as our officers: Ed Brown, president, Mary Kathleen Fife, vice president, Roy Sheets, secre- tary, and Joan Bradshaw, treasurer. Our sponsors are Miss Shelby, Mr. Drake and Mr. Bradshaw. We are proud of our participation in extra- curricular events, perhaps the most outstanding of which was the Junior play presented November 26th and 27th. Mrs. Weaver, Betty Spring and Don Burton were our directors who led the play to its ultimate success. Our class has many commendable students. On the last day of school in 1945 eighteen members of our class, then Freshmen, received Perfect At- tendance records. These students were: Glenn Calvert, Virginia Disinger, Phyllis Franklin, Eddie Dickinson, Geneva Hawkins, Mildred Hilde- brandt, Norma Johnson, Robert Lane, Robert Mills, Mary Jo Myers, Louise Nagele, Dorothy Newell, Marjorie Norris, Betty Spring, Gladys Weaver, Robert Wert, Helen Wise, and Joan Wise. R CLASS On the corresponding day in 1946 twelve 48 students received this award. They were: Mary Jo Myers, Louise Nagele, Betty Draper, Robert Gerard, Dorothy Newell, Ruth Ann Oaks, Bill Slagle, Gladys Weaver, Robert Wert, Helen Wise, Joan Wise, and Roberta Sagarsee. On the last school day in 1946 many of our students received awards more valuable than those for perfect attendance. A certificates for maintaining average grades of 95W or more were awarded to Dorothy Newell, Robert Mills, Irene Sims, Robert Wert, and Helen Wise. B certifi- cates for maintaining average grades of 9071 up to 957, were awarded to Ruth Bowman, Virginia Disinger, Joan Clifford, Mary Jo Myers, Mary Anne Sterzik, Joan Wise, Louise Nagele, and Bonnie Foster. Every year Bradshaw English awards consist- ing of sums of money are awarded to the three best English students in each high school class. For 1945 the prizes were given in this order: 1st,-Irene Sims, 2nd.-Joan Wise, 3rd,-Robert Wert. In 1946: lst.-Irene Sims, 2nd.-Dorothy Newell, 3rd.-Helen Wise. In 1946 an American Legion Essay Contest for our class was won by Wayne Yates and Irene Sims. Our class is alphabetically divided into three home rooms who elect officers and earn money like other organizations. The three home room presidents are Joan Bradshaw, Marjorie Norris, and Roy Sheets. These home rooms have worked splendidly to help the Junior Class treasury. Marjorie Been is a new student who joined our ranks too late to have her picture put in the annual. Moonlight and Roses was our theme for the Junior Prom, annual party for the departing Seniors.
