The course of study for juniors is one that can be made very different because of the pre-induction courses offered to Junior boys and girls interested. These courses include machines, shop, and electricity. Some Junior boys are permitted to take aeronauties, but, as a rule, this subject is put off until the Senior year. Although many pre-induction eourses are offered, the regular academic and commercial subjects were by no means neglected. Third year English and U. S. History are two requirements of every junior. The more daring students venture into physics and intermediate algebra, while the commercial students have many opportunities to continue their search for skill and prohciency in pursuing stenography, or continuing bookkeeping and typing. Two half-year subjects which are offered the juniors are economics and commercial law. The study and analysis of languages are also continued by interested Juniors. Because of the variety of subject matter, the most difhcult task that faces the Juniors is deciding which of the many subjects will help them most in future years. Toward the end of the year, things slow down and the Juniors are able to devote more time to thinking about the future. In June the possibilities of summer jobs are considered rather seriously by all. Perhaps we are closer to rhe juniors than to any other group in school, as they are our immediate followers. Therefore, it is the sincere wish of the Senior class that our junior pals will make us proud of them by doing great things during their last year at our Alma Mater. ?Mr .

These never-to-be-forgotten days store up many memories for the future, as the social standing of the Juniors is all it should be. They are entitled to all the privileges of upper-classmen, including the benefit of sharing assemblies with the Seniors. When returning to school after the summer vacation, it is a source of amaze- ment to all to see how the little, timid Sophomore has turned into the big, fearless Junior, who is unafraid of everything and anything, including Seniors. While Freshmen and Sophomores look up to, admire, and respect Seniors, the consensus of opinion among most Juniors is that the Senior class ain't so hot. We, the Seniors, beg to differ with them. Any one who has been a Junior knows that a favorite pastime of his is gold- bricking. The army corporal, who is most famous for his goldbrieking abilities, runs a neat parallel to a typical Junior. However, the one thing that did seem to rouse the juniors out of their complacent slumber was the hum of social activities that they were in the very midst of, The Junior Prom and Junior Play, two of the most prominent social affairs of the school season, revolve around the junior class. Although both of these affairs mean a lot of work, it is the kind of work that is rewarded by the satisfaction derived from the knowledge that you have done your job, and done it well.

Sag U GU PAN t f As our high school days draw to a close, we Sen- iors spend more and more time reminiscing over the last four years of our lives. The time has gone so fast that it seems like only last September that we were timid lireshmen who couldn't wait to be in the very position that is now ours. ln .1 way we envy the lireshmen their high school careers which are just beginning. In this last year of ours, time has taken wings. as there have been many things for us to do. A number of Seniors have worked after school, thus helping the war effort and gaining useful knowl- edge for the future, which to us is the biggest question of all. As the majority of Senior boys plan to enter the service in the near future, much valuable time has been devoted to inquiring as to the various opportunities offered to them. Of course, there are many of our classmates who are already serving under the colors. W'hile these fellows cannot actually be here with us, we think of them constantly as we are very proud of them, our young men who are serving us. There are many girls who would like to enter the service, also, but until they are old enough, they will have to be content with helping the war effort on the home front, mainly by working in ollices, in industry, or in pursuing the nursing profes- sion. All the opportunities that are ofliered to the girls of our graduating class are too numerous to mention here. ir ir -k coMmNY OITIIICIZRS SYI,VIIS'I'IiR l..'XCiU'l'il'.'X President RlCl'lARD -IOHNSON Vice Presitlenl ROSIC lll.ONUl K Secretary ,IAM l-'S DV R MODY Treasurer .vw Q5-U
