The members participate in all school activities and outside activities-barring none. Everywhere you go you will find a Junior. no matter where it is-in plays, in band, in glee club, in sports, in G. A. A., Rainbow, church or- ganizations, or the like. Led by Dick Boeck, presidentg Lois Barber. vice president, Lorene Petersen, secretary, and Bob Hannah, treasurer, and under the supervision of Mr. Nelson and Miss Best, the class is the envy of the high school. Where else will you find such pretty girls or handsome boys? Where else will you End a class as smart? Where else, but in the Junior class! The class, in preparation for the Junior-Senior promotion is sponsoring the Junior play, Where's Laurie? having a cast of fourteen-nine girls and five boys. Also, the Junior players have giv- en three onesact plays during the past school year - Too Many Cooks, Betty, Behavef' and The Contest Play. Lorene Petersen leads the Junior play produc- tion group as president and is helped by Fern Bielfeldt, secretary-treasurer, and Tom Brown, reporter. You have all seen Juniors running around,or on the football field and dribbling the ball across the. basketball floor. This shows that they are also interested in sports. The band also occupies the Juniors' time. Heading the band as president is Fred Precht and helping him is Carolan Carlson, vice-president. This shows the hold the Juniors have on the band. Juniors are also occupying must of the chairs in glee club and mixed chorus and are also rep- resented in the school orchestra. The Juniors, whose flower is the rose and whose colors are aqua and rose, are living up to their motto: Forward ever, backward never, and nowhere will you flnd a Junior who isn't proud of his class. els..

Pulience is Powevfull sgpfwmw. you I The class of 1948 is at present the largest in Denison High. In the fall of 1945, 100 members were found on the roll. Since that time tive have discontinued their studies while one new member was added during the school year. Should the present members continue their studies, this class will rank among the largest ever graduated from our school. The Sophomores have taken an active part in the various activities of the school. On the roster of the mixed chorus, boys' glee club, girls' glee club, one will find names of this class presented repeatedly. Three of the members have done their part in presenting numbers for the pep club during the past months. The school band and orchestra also have many of our class in their organizations. During the past year the class gave three onc- act plays which were favorably received: The White Phantom, Happy Journey and Elmer and the Love Bug, directed by Mrs. Bachman. In athletics this class had already won dis- tinction by the boys it has furnished for the foot- ball and basketball squads. Winning letters in football were Clyde Ames, Bob Glotfelty, Gene . Holtorf and Eldon Groth. In the basketball the second team was composed mostly of members of this class which gave an excellent account of it- self this season and promises a fine future for our conference record. Not to be outdone by the mas- culine contingent, the girls also took an active interest in athletics, many girls being members of the Girls' Athletic Association. Many of the boys in the class were members of the Future Farmers team which established a good record in games won. Of course, so far nothing has been said of the scholastic abilities of the various class members. We feel, however, that the Class of 1948 will also produce its outstanding lights in this department when honors are passed out. 2nd Row Srd Row 4th Row LOWER Klrk, Reltt, Jensen, Volkman, Evers, Schmidt, Ruberg, Beerman, Ahrenholtz, Moeller, Scheuermann, Shreeves, Grelnke, Thomsen.
