Junior Closs President ..... .... A dam Zawada Vice-President . . . . . .Marjorie Klinger Secretary-Treasurer .... . . .Joan Crittenden Having come a long way since their long-legged Seventh Grade days, the Juniors look back over the record of the class of 1947. In the seventh grade, the shy little boys sidled up to the pretty girls and asked them to the big brawl of the year, The Junior High Party. However, the biggest event affecting all of their lives was the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into the war. Four years of their high school existence was clouded by war. Many well-liked teachers went into the service of their country. The class bought War Bonds, and collected paper and tin to aid in the war effort. Still shy-although not the babies of the school anymore-as Eight Graders, they went quietly about attending to their own aiairs. Social life consisted mainly of private parties and dates . fThe boys were beginning to catch on to the Wolf tactics of their older schoolmatesj I 'In its Freshman year the class sponsored the Junior High Party-a big success. It also went in for high finance by selling magazine subscriptions and earned 55109 with little effort. Branching out in the direction of dramatics, the class gave two one- act plays in assemblies. They were comedies entitled Let's Make Up and Un- accustomed As I Am. . As Sophomores, the United States history class traveled to Cleveland on a tour of museums and interesting sights. In an energetic mood, the class sponsored the Soph- more Tavern. It just broke even on the funds, but much fun was enjoyed. At last they are JUNIORS. How far away it seemed when they were Seventh Graders. Yet how quickly it came! Sorely in need of money with which to give the Seniors the best PROM ever, the class picked as its play, a comedy in three acts called It's Tough To Be Rich . Loaded down with tons of proceeds, the PROM came forth on its appointed night in full glory. The class officers who worked toward both these ends were Adam Zawada, presidentg Marjorie Klinger, vice presidentg Joan Crittenden, secretary and treasurer. -by Joan Crittenden 23
