ROOM 210 AWAITS US A NEW ERA-WE ARE SENIORS OUR HOME FOR 1948-49 lllllU H lllElllllltU Entering this, our final year of school, the ultimate goal of our dreams is finally within our reach. The boys lost no time in heeding the call for football candidates, and the seniors certainly did represent us well on the varsity team-eight members beating out all oppo- sition. Our class officers were elected and al- most every senior participated in at least one of the various clubs that were organized. As a means for raising funds for the second issue of the school yearbook, THE JAYONIAN, the iunior and senior classes combined efforts in most of their money-raising activities. The re- sults proved to be very satisfactory. Even though we were handicapped by the football practices, games, and other activities, our annual play, Miss Collegiate , was a huge success. The mid-winter months were taken up with basketball, the holiday season, and the min- strel, Before Christmas, we, with the help of underclassmen, sold Christmas cards as another way of raising yearbook funds. This proved to be a very profitable proiect, for the demand for cards was so great that we did not have enough Christmas cards to sell. The maiority of us took part in the minstrel that was directed by Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Hite. The senior share of the proceeds was determined by the amount of tickets that we sold. It was a suc- cess. Soon spring sunshine took the place of winter snows and the iuniors and seniors were preparing for the big event-THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR PROM. The big day finally rolled around and everyone was more than pleased with the gala occasion. The banquet, the final gathering for the class, was our last social event. We hated to see it pass. The great day which everyone had been dreading but had accepted as the hnal con- clusion to twelve years of school arrived at last. This day would never have become a reality if all our school work, studies and ac- tivities had not been kept up to par. On this memorable night we hnally launched on our own, possessing a knowledge that would help anchor us in life. We are now part of that ever-growing list-The Alumni. JOHN KULBA.
