The object was to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. The paper was taken to Marshalltown where it was sold for S22 a ton. As we had' collected 9,120 pounds we received a check for 810065. Although the result was many aches and pains for the members of the class, we decided that it was worth it. Juniors, New Yeoris live Party On New Year's Eve, 48 guests arrived for the annual high school New Year's Eve Party, given, by the Junior Class. The guests found the assem- bly gaily decorated in silver and blue. A white picket fence surrounded the library counter and tables that had been set up where punch, popcorn, and candy were serv-ed in buffet style. Streamers decorated the windows and were suspended from the light fixtures. The evening began by playing several games and the remainder of the evening was spent dancing and eating. At 10:30 p. m., lunch was served by the Junior Class. The old year was ushered out and the new one welcomed in with the blowing of horns, throwing of confetti and streamers, and the lighting of fireworks. Dancing was resumed once again amid the confetti and streamers and as the morning dawned we left for home!!!! 29
