is. Y .1 .pp V THE JUNIOR CLASS The present Junior Class is very unique in that it was created especially for the present sixteen numbers. Because of initiating the twelve-grade system, this was the year for our school not to have a junior class. However, along the way, some tran sfe r students from twelve-grade systems entered our school, also, there were several among us who had failed to pass all required subjectsg thus--a junior class became a necessity. As there wasn't a vacant class room in school, one of the dressing rooms by the stage became our homeroom--a snug fit but very convenient to the auditorium and out-of-doors! After organizing ou r clas s , we realized that our first undertaking was to add approxi- mately S400.00 to our otherwise depleted treas- ury in order to give a creditable dance to our seniors. With this project in mind and excel- lent cooperation from the clas s , we had our first money-making project on October 6th--a So ck Hop, from which we cleared S65.00. ln February, we were hosts to a Valentine Dance, which proved to be quite a profitable affair. Still--we needed more money! The seniors became a bit uneasy for fear we wouldn't enter- tain them, so the se nior boys challenged the junio r boys to a benefit basketball game--the proceeds to go to the junior class. With more of a feeling of financial security, plans for the Junior-Senior became a r e a l i ty . The theme, Romance of Spring, was chosen, Bill John- son's dance band from Suffolk was engaged and the Cypress Cove Country Club was s e c u r e d for the occasion. Through the courtesy of the Club's Board of Directors, we were given per- mission to rent the club. Our class is too small to undertake to beautify our gym with decora- tions, so we particularly wanted to have our dance in a building that was already pretty without decorations. All class m e mb e r s worked during their vacant periods on miniature bird houses to use on individual tables. Much fun was had making these spring-like de co r at i o ns . Doubtlessly, every junior will want one as a memento of the occasion. Because our class is different and the only one of it s ki nd in the history of our school, everyone has been most helpful and interested in making the usual activities possible for us. As this goes to press, our enthusiasm is at great heights and we're determined to make our Junior-Senior a fine one to remember in spite of the small number to sponso r it. Also, we have the determination to make our senior year equally as e x c i t i n g and successful--the first twelfth grade to graduate from Franklin High School.
