The group passed on into the heart of the school but they turned the school green to match themselves. As Sophomores, they presented a very successful play, Early To Bed . Its cast and supporting cast of twenty came from the junior class of today. The juniors of 1940 got off to a good start by electing Bobby jack White, President, Paul Wheeler, Vice President, john Bell, Secretaryg and George Peters, Treasurer. These four boys with the aid of their faithful sponsor, Miss Roberta Gridlin, led the class through a very busy year. ivdaq, aa, ' , tommfww aim, Page twenty-fzvu
