JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of the school year, the juniors elected their officers-Otto Stevens, president: Leonard Spear, vice-president: and Selma Schultz, secretary- treasurer. Mrs. .Tone Wiberg was their sponsor, replaced by Mr. Royal Morrison when Mrs. Wiberg resigned at the end of the first semester. A number of the junior boys took a part in both football and basketball games. Mary Ellen Ennis and Marjorie Laulo were two of the cheerleaders this year. In November, the juniors sponsored a dance. About basketball season, the junior class went into the selling of little red hats with FB on them, and red pins with Yea Benton painted in white on them. Later on, they sold pennants. Four junior boys were on the A basketball team, Chris Small lcaptainl, Jim Elliot, Bob Kelley, and Elmer Hotvedt. In January, Phyllis Birkeland and Chris Small were elected to be members of the student council. At the Carnival, Phyllis Birkeland and Chris Small were junior candidates, Chris being crowned King. Several of the junior girls were baton twirlers and Bertie June Hankins was chosen to be editor of the Cannon Report next year. Near the end of May, the juniors put away their studies to await the coming year when they would at last be the seniors of FBHS. 4 JUNIOR PROM The annual junior promenade was held this year on April 26, in the high school gym. Upon entering the gym, the dancers saw a blue sky full of stars-a rock wall was built entirely around the dance floor, with sky scrapers in the background, the theme being the Penthouse Serenade. The orchestra, which was Bunny Leeper's from Great Falls, was enclosed in an oval-shaped shell on the stage, with a large moon behind it. The attendants were handed small blue programs decorated in silver, which carried out the theme. The class chose a Queen who was crowned as the climax of the evening. It was impossible to serve punch because they could not obtain supplies, but with dancing from 9 to 1:30, the juniors were happy of their success of an annual prom. JUNIOR PLAY On April 18, after three weeks of very strenuous rehearsing, the junior class presented Charley's Aunt the always popular comedy-farce by Brandon Thomas. The set for the play was a college in England. The plot is as follows: Jack Chesney Uohn Deckl and his friend, Charles Wykeham KLeonard Spearl invite Kitty Verdum lGenevieve Leningtonl and Amy Spettigue lOlive Lanel to join them at their rooms for luncheon in order to meet Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, who is expected to arrive from Brazil that very moment. This is Charley's aunt, a lady who in her youth went to South America, married a man with tons of money. and has come back to merry old England to spend it. The girls accept the invitation but the millionaire Donna sends a telegram saying that she will have to defer her visit for a few days. The problem is solved at once by forcing another undergraduate of the name of Lord Fancourt Babberly lBob Dolll into a black satin skirt, a lace tichu, etc. As Charley's aunt this old trump is introduced to the sweethearts, to Jack's father, Sir Francis Chesney lKenneth Clarkl, and to Stephen Spettigue Names Elliotl an Oxford solicitor. Charley's aunt becomes the object of the greatest solicitude and devotion of the young women, and both Sir Francis Chesney and Stephen Spettigue make love to her. Un- expectedly, the real Donna Lucia lMargaret Heinenl turns up, but upon hearing that someone has taken her place she assumes the name of Mrs. Beverly Smythe. As the third act progresses Donna Lucia makes Lord Babberly reveal who he really is and then tells the rest of the suitors and admirers who she really is. Sir Francis Chesney then proceeds to court! her and as the third act ends they are engaged to be married. Other juniors in the cast were: Brassett, a college scout lFranklin Elliottl, a young farmer, lBob Kelleyl. Ela Delahay, an orphan and the ward of Donna Lucia lMary Ellen Ennisl, and Maud, a parlourmaid for Spettigue, CPhyllis Birkelandl.
