Our Junior year started off with no noticeable excite- ment. Except for the steady progression of bookkeeping in- structors, which, before the end of the year, continued un- til we had,five, finally keeping one. In December we started on the production of our first extravaganza, the Junior-Pro- duction of'NBig Hearted Herbert.n The year progressed unev- entfully until the latter part of the year when we had the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet at Stoneis cafe in Marsh- alltown. After, the Banquet most of us had visions of fin- ally becoming seniors. - , Our last year of school, we now could be treated as up- per-upper-classmen. We have now attained the highest rung in our climb to master the elements of higher education. The year started off uneventfulq Preparation for graduation started out early with the selection of the announcements which we bought from the Josten Company. Things continued on their merry way until March 15, when the Senior Chase took the yearly Skip Day, On this morning of the'fifteenth Des Moines was shocked and dazed by the sudden arrival'of the Senior Class, and immediately gave them the key to the city, and then changed- locks. The class then toured the Banker's Life building and after that made private tours of the city. Work was then continued on the Senior Play which proved to be a big success. Graduation day and commencement now mark the final milestones on our highway to success in this phase of our journey. . -N--X-'N--I-'N'-H--N-'If'N-'N X' o U R pea o P H EAC X It is the spring of 1954 and I gigs I, Tommy Thompson, on my annual Q3 gg A I 4 N X4 conference fwith the president, ,jk-Piggy-X QiM,fQf approach the desk to find to my greed? ,L L,4j3a5?eB surprise a familiar face.
