JUNIOIQ CLASS HISTORY fcontinuedll 4 I JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS It Left to Right: lVl:urth:u Olive-r, 'I'hun1:is VVim::iril. ltolu-rl Walt:-rs, Fri z Yrzil . etc livwizi, Howard Fritz Another year later-and we juniors, as upper classmen, are beginning to prepare for the greatest event of all high school years, the Junior-Senior Prom. We realize that we have to earn some money in order to make this get-together of the juniors and seniors a life-remembered event. We hope to do so in the near future. I am sure that our prom can be made just as successful as the preceding ones, if not more successful. But the time was drawing near for the junior class play. Do not think the juniors were in- experienced, for, as was said before, they participated in The Pampered Darling. On December 9 Headlines was presented-one of the best class plays ever presented at Derry High School. Another event of great importance was the arrival of our class rings, which we regard as highly admirable. Since most of our boys are participating in varsity and junior varsity basketball, few are left for a class team. But these few are willing to represent our class. The girls have also organized a team and are doing very well. Students seem to enter into the spirit of things more this term than ever before. Why so '? Nobody knows. The bleachers at the basket- ball games have been overflowing with never-tiring spectators. The over- enthusiastic players have received much encouragement from such lively audiences who, in turn, have seen many thrilling combats. Just recently the assembly period has been lengthened on Tuesdays. This particular time is devoted to any problems the students wish to discuss. Some classes have discussed problems on etiquette, school activities, and the like. Our class has enjoyed quite a few of these assembly periods by engaging in spelling bees, question bees, debates, and many other subjects of interest. Soon will come the event of events-the banquet and prom. It is evident that the juniors will work to make it a worthy success, just as we do other high school activities. Now we look on the past years with pride- just pride when one considers our high standard in scholarship, the athletic field, and the social field. May our last year be as successful! l'WEN'l'Y-SIX

Hugh Akins, Jenn Snoddy 4 Here we are again, not as the green freshmen you knew last year, but as the gay young sophomores of today. We are now ascending the ladder of education. Last year we went up the first, but weak, step of the ladder, this fragile step was strengthened by the climber who had the desire to arrive at the top. This year we pause on the second step, which is more secure and sturdy. This year we did not have to be told that we must elect officers. Since there were so many candidates, we had a hard time selecting our officers. However, we have no reason to regret our choice. One of our most popular girls, Anna Marie Kokos, was elected president. She has been very active in high school life and has even succeeded in getting us a wiener roast and a party, which no other sophomore class has ever had. She is ably assisted in her work by Marguerite Kinkead, our vice i president. But do not think that our officers are interested only in class activities, for both our president and our vice president are members of the girls' chorus. Instead of electing two officers for secretary and treasurer, we chose Hugh Akins to assume both these responsibilities. l Hugh is also interested in football, and he made our class very proud of him when he became a member of the varsity basketball squad. Since the office of Student Council representative is very important, we had to select students who would worthily represent our class. Finally, how- ever, we chose Clara Bucci, representative from sophomore A, and Mary Louise Shaffer, representative from sophomore B. Besides serving our class, these two girls have been active participants in class basketball. Yes, we can say that we have chosen our officers wisely. However, these officers in turn must give credit to Mr. llovard and Mr. Williams for their guidance. Although we made a little splash in athletics as freshmen, we little dreamed that as sophomores We would become so successful. Big, good- natured Fred Gray very successfully stopped all the plays that opposing teams tried to run through left guard. Then, how we loved to see our 'FWENTY-EIGHT
