After school got under way, the class met with its new sponsor, Miss Neill, to elect the class officers. James Ward was elected president: Vernelle Dennison, vice-president, and D0- lores Hinds, secretary-treasurer. At the homecoming the group sold chances on a basket of groceries, sold pop dur- ing the game, and had the shooting gallery. The sophomore class sponsored a Halloween party, and everyone was asked to come masked. Some of the teenagers enrolled in band and in the choruses, and took part in the operetta, Creatures of Impulse. In addition seven of the boys took part in basketball and baseball. THIRTEEN

JUNIORS WUDIUZQ- Uvtefmf' Nineteen young voters were on hand to begin their junior year with a bang, These nineteen high-spirited, young people met with Mr. Grohovsky, their spon- sor, to elect their council for the coming activities. Bill Davis was elected to the honored office of president, Larry Hanner, appointed to assist him as vice-president, and Mary. Tierney, a new acquaintance to our town, acquired the title of secretary and treasurer. The first big job in which everyone of the class participated was the sale of sta- tionery. This resulted in a deposit of S80 to the young voters' treasury. As Christmas neared, the active young voters sold Christmas cards and netted a profit of 35170. A Christmas party and program sponsored by the group was enjoyed by the faculty and students. After the program and the exchange of gifts and cards, refresh- ments of Christmas cookies, candy canes, ani apples were served. One of the most outstanding events was Mother Does the Talking, a three-act comedy which proved exciting and profitable to the class. As you may have guessed, most of the class funds were to go towards the big event of the year, the junior-senior prom, given by the class in honor of the senior class, faculty and members of the school board.

FRESHMEN 'Small jay, Twenty-one small fry gathered at the educational system of the Elkhart com- munity last September. After being initiated, they felt more at ease and began to take school life in their stride. With Miss Bradley as sponsor they elected Wayne Dobey as head commissioner, Jack Dee as his assistant, and Kathleen Walsh as chief counselor. Two of the small fry moved to other villages, but two others moved in and took their places. At the homecoming the class sold popcorn, had a fish pond, and told fortunes to make a profit of 552454. These young fry' ranked highest in selling basketball season tickets. Quite a few of the members joined band and chorus, and several of them took part in the operetta. Another of their achievements was an all-school party given in April. FOURTEEIN
