JUNIQR HISTQRY 'B w On September 8, 1947 eleven mighty Juniors rushed into the assembly. We scrambled to get desks near the back of the room. A week later found us scattered around the room, because our seating arrangement had been changed. Our class membership increased to eleven this year as John Entorf, Norris Owen, and Bradley Clark returned to high school. Mr. Vail was chosen sponsor and at our first meeting of the year the following were elected as officers: Benjy Craig, president: Glenn Anderson. vice-president: Martha Bell, secretary-treasurer: Norris Owen, reporter. In the early part of the year the Junior Class sponsored one of the Wednesday night parties. Delores Fairbanks and Norris Owen put on a humorous skit. The rest of the evening was spent dancing. A lunch was served when the evening was about half over. For the traditional class play we selected a three-act farce comedy entitled. Let Me Out Of Here , At two minutes to eight on that fateful night of December twelfth the curtains rose to disclose a group of very nervous Juniors. . . . the play had started! As the play continued many, many scenes will remain in our memories for some time. Like the time of Benjy's startling discovery, that he had torn his trousers. Or when he came out on the stage dressed in Marina's housecoat, pretending to be a girl. And when Norris Owen. the definitely feminine maid. was caught eavesdropping. Probably the most hilarious episode of the play was when Glenn Anderson, portraying the part of college schoolboy. dressed in a most becoming ensemble and a skirt that simply would not fall as the script prescribed. This play was a financial success and rumors have led us to believe that it was a dramatic success also. Our next big project of the year was the Junior Prom. It was held on April 10. All our beautiful dreams for the prom were shattered when we started to decide on the way it should be decorated. We all had different ideas. After we finally reached an agreement, then began the long hours of toil. You cannot imagine the disappoint- ments, disagreements. mistakes, and hard work we put in to make the prom a success. Yea-the big feed was on! Never were the Juniors and Seniors so anxious to go to school as they were on the night of the Junior-Senior Banquet. We neverl knew that our mothers were such good cooks. This concluded our Jun.ior activities and we are looking forward to the biggest and best year of our high school careers-that all important Senior year-with anticipation.

SQPHGNXGRE HISTORY 'xxx' I ce, Opening day roll call revealed that there were eleven Sophomores in Geraldine High School this year. We enthusiastically enjoyed the opportunity to initiate the incoming Freshmen. We manufactured man-sized paddles and freely applied lipstick and shoe polish. After a day of torture, we gave them a party at the gym. The town orchestra played for this occasion. During the following week, we kept the Freshmen unusually busy during all their spare time and half of every lunch hour removing rock from the football field and preparing the goal posts for the first game of the season. By vote of the student body, Alice Tanner was chosen as one of the cheerleaders for this year. Miss Crawford, who had been our sponsor during our Freshman year, continued to sponsor our class. Under her guidance, we gave a roller sl-:ating party for all high school students early in October. Class officers for the year were: Max Makich, president: Alice Tanner, vice- president: Sally Bronson, secretary-treasurer: and Marian Scribner and Earlene Duvall, reporters.
