During the current school term, not only did cer- tain individuals and groups move on in their var- ious activities, but also each of the respective classes showed signs of moving on.” With regard to the yearbook patron drive, the senior class pressed on” and surpassed their $2000 goal by some $400. They also were involved in var- ious fund raisers to help defray the cost of gradu- ation. Again, they assumed the leadership in activities and aided the underclassmen to move on.” The magazine campaign kept the juniors on the move, the profits of which were used to pay for the junior-senior prom, the social event of the year. Of course, the juniors kept in stride with the purchase of the class ring, the symbol of their high school days. Finally, the sophomores moved ahead as they conducted the best citrus sale to date. Some $2000 profit was realized in the campaign. This being their first year in the senior high, the sophomores moved on slowly at first until they became oriented. How- ever, as the months passed, they soon found them- selves getting involved and moving along” with the rest of the upperclassmen.
