The junior class of 1939-'40 has successfully paddled through three years on the Lake of Knowledge. They could not have done so without the guidance of their captains, commonly known as teachers. The class did not enter enthusiastically into the contests until their junior year. They made an excellent showing in the annual contest, with Louise Moyer as the attractive queen candidate from the junior class. The class play, The Blundering Herd, was presented on December 8 and was well received by the audience. The most attractive event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. The seniors will remember this banquet, because of the nice way they were enter- tained by the juniors. Many of the boys took an important part in the athletic games, while the girls took their usual stand in the other departments.
