C 96'SD The Class of Ali returned to school last fall to find things quite changed. Besides having lost students and gained many new ones, we had a new class adviser, Mr. Wehmhoff. Under his capable guidance and the leadership of june Underwood, President, Eugene Rutland, VicefPresidentg Barbara Kingsbury, Secretary and'Treasurer1 and Janice Hoy, Reporter, all that the class undertook was a success. The class was represented in thc AllfSchool Play by Troy Parish, and many Juniors worked selling tickets and working on committees. junior boys participating in sports were: john Ross, Troy Parish, Roy Vinkenes, Eugene Rutland, Paul Shoemaker, Dick Valley, Arthur Johnston, james Boman, Klarion Peterson, and Floyd Arnold. Many of the girls turned out for athletics after school one or two nights a week. T'ne Juniors gave a ten minute program in the All School War Stamp assembly, the last of February. It consisted of John Ross playing his saxaphone, accompanied by jean Austin, and Bar' bara Wing playing her clarinet, accompanied by Elaine Crawford. The main project of the year was the annual junior Prom, which was held May 12th in the High School gymnasium. A suitable theme, Spring, was chosen for decorations. The gym had the appearance of a garden complete with a picket fence, many spring flowers and greenery with pastel streamers hanging from the ceiling. The pastel frocks worn by the girls and the soft strains of the orchestra contributed to the illusion. The success fulfilled all the hopes of those who worked so faithfully to make it so. U41
