The junior Class has had an unusually lat ge representation in the extra-cur- ricular activities, namely: Orchestra 10, Boys' Glee Club 4, Girls' Glee Club 14, Chorus 31, Boys' Basketball 5, Girls' Bas- ketball il, Softball 9, Field Hockey 9, Pub- lic Speaking 3, Football 7, Art 8, Ski team 2, Barker SJ and Laurel Board 6. Both the boys and girls won the intramural basketball championships. The Junior Class is also represented in the armed forces with Albert Fraser in the Marines and Merton Petrie in the Navy. The Class of '44 has been unfortunate in having two quite serious accidents 5 Nelson Paradis suffered a skull fracture and Frederick Kenney a broken leg.
