The year started off with elections of of- ficers with Billy Spencer being elected as presidents Shirley Courson, secre- tary-treasurerg and Nellie Toffier, reporter. Mrs. Mary Lester was chosen to be sponsor. At the end of the school year, the class day was spent in Okmul- gee by enjoying a Picnic and by going skating.
