PJIIIIDB? llbon returning' to school, we lound that two ineinhers ol' our class. l'2liz:.1betli Ayash and Yvonne Abraham, were the winners of the city- wide contest sponsored by the Rotary Club. In October, the first school dance of the year, the Pumpkin liall was held. Career Day was held in November and the principal speaker at the general assembly was Dr. Judson R. Butler. After hearing the people who spoke on different vocations, we began to think more se1'i- ously about our ca1'eers. Many other events took place in November. The cheerleaders conducted a cake sale to raise money for their new uniforms, and then ran a contest, ofteringr a prize to the person submittinir the best design for a uniformg Elaine Phillips was the winner of the contest. and her design was used for the new uniforms. The annual performance of T. N. T. and the Pigskin Hop also took place around this time. ln December, the Music Department presented Christmas Carols at assemblies for all classes. The football squad was honored at the football banquet. and 22 members were presented letters. The senior committees were then chosen: the Advisory Committee was headed by Joseph Mullaney, the Gift Committee by Edward llarrington, and the Dance Committee by Claudette Cagne. Dy now the senior debate tournament had become the main subject of discussion around the school. The topic for debate was: Resolved, that Alaska be admitted as the forty-ninth state. Lea Alexander and Charles Hodgate, upholding the negative, won over Clinton Levin and -lay Miller in the finals. Other successful events sponsored this year were Little Women, The Class Menagerie, the Mid-Winter Hop. and H. M. S. Pinaforef' As this book goes to press, we anticipate class day, and, on June 13. the ecstatic moment in which we are handed our diplomas. As all good things must come to an end, our four marvelous years at Durfee will end with the unforgettable senior prom. Our memories of these happy days will linger with us forever.

JJIIIUB? ln September, lillttl, we returned to llurfee as proud upperclass men and wasted no time getting back into the swing of things. After a season of ups and downs, our football team emerged with an unimpress- ive record of four victories and six defeats. However, they were re- warded for their drive and never-say-die attitude at the annual Pigskin llop and the football banquet. The Dramatic Club presented its thirst performance ot' four original plays in November. T. N. T. proved to be a big success, with several '51-ers appearing in the casts. First term report cards showed seven ol' us on the All-A and S39 on the Principal's List. These numbers gradually increased and third term found the juniors topping other classes with 13 All-A students. The hoopsters kept up their outstanding records by winning eight out of ten league tussles. The llilltoppers again traveled to Hoston to compete in the annual Tech Tourney. VVe played like champions and for the second consecutive year reached the semi-tinals before being eliminated. Class members who saw action with the team included Tom tlastall, Red Whiting,Joe Mullaney, Hank Harrington, Red Soczek, Ted Harrington and George Attar. Un the social calendar were the Get-Acquainted llanee, the lllid- Winter llop and the Otlieers' Banquet, all sponsored by the S. A. A., and the .Iunior Prom. The Prom committee headed by Joseph ltlullaney deserves much credit for making the affair the great success that it was. The Ilramatic Club's presentation was awarded a very good rating at the State Drama Festival. The year was brought to a close by a successful baseball season and we looked forward to the biggest and most important year ot' all.
