Many greenies were thrilled when the coach called on one of them to warm up. -Q Another highlight ol' our pilgrimage was a one-act farce en- acted by seven students in chapel for the benefit of the high school. This was a rather flashy comedy, the title being The Orange- tlolored Necktiefi Thus, the year passed swiftly and happily.

We have certainly kept this promise, for this has been the most successful period thus far. Being a very progressive class, we broke away from the tradition of having a boy as Junior pres- ident. Dorothy Snoddy has proved the ability of a girl as a class president, because she has helped us greatly in making this year a roaring success. The first event of great importance was the arrival of our class rings, which we consider the handsomest rings ever made. Our outstanding triumph, the presentation of the Junior Class Play, Dying to Live, was on January 15. This was a greater success than even we had dreamed of. Since our Junior boys had already gained such a good record in basketball, the girls also wanted to have a team. For boys our class had two basketball teams, which scored many victories over the other class teams. Although the girls' team was not quite so brilliant, they kept up a fair record. We sponsored two successful bake sales this year to help pay the expenses of our prom, which we shall en- deavor to make the best ever held in DQ1'1'y High School. Since we Juniors have accomplished so much, we are anticipating even more important achievements as Seniors. i215

Both the boys and the girls had basketball teams. With such players as George Toth, Boyd Baughmzui and Glenn Pryce our class had great hopes for the boy's team. Mari- an Kolb, Andrea Heacox and Marian Strupp upheld the reputa- of the girl's team. Many of the Sophomore boys helped make up our football squad, and many of our girls were members of the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. The officers for our Sophomore year have been: President, Howard Allison, vice president, Glenn Pryceg treasurer, Thomas Henryg and Student Council representative, Jim Humphreys. By doing our best at all times, we hope to keep up our march through high school and enjoy our studies together with our extra- classroom activities. 4235
