The Junior Class President - - WILLIAM THOEN Vice-President - - RUTH MCNIFF Secretary - BARBARA ANN WEBORG Treasurer - - - CHARLES PERKINS Advisers - MRS. GRENNELL - MR. RAWE This conglomeration is intended to be a tributeito a class. The Iunior Class. My class. Some classl In order to present a more perfect picture, it is necessary for me to give the sum and substance of tlIe past 190 days of school. As it was in the beginning, commencement was on September 18. I fail to remember whether it was Thursday or Friday: it could even have been Monday, but anyhow it wasn't Sunday. It was the 18th, so we commenced. I guess just about all of the original gang from the preceding year were there. I was there, against my will, of course. The early part of the year wasn't bad: not muclI home- work, and we knew a lot, or thought we did. Football was in full swing. Many of our boys were out there. Selan and Thoen, Beaver, too. There was a lot of Iunior class mate- rial getting crippled about that time but I wasn't there-I was saving myself. I forget what for. War bonds and stamps weren't doing so well at this point. We had a dance, a Vic- tory Dance, and we sold a slew of stamps. And then the basketball season began to get going. We were ably represented there, too. Booby Miller and Chuck Perkins were var- sity. Booby got about 200 points that season. Puffy was in there, too. The rest of us. always on the lookout for an easy dollar, turned to Chuck Kvsor for an idea. Lo and behold. an idea sprouted-so we sold pop. Boy, did we sell pop! We managed to obtain a com- fortable, if not spectacular, bank roll through our efforts. Then Kysor broke his leg. Fine thing! Following this calamity was a slight lull which was shattered by the Ianuary regents exams. This nearly knocked the skids out from under our class, but we rallied. Oh yes, and there's another little item, or maybe three little items--Carol Erickson. Frances Mende and Phyllis Pine, cheerleaders three. And while I'm on the subject of girls, it was about this time that one of Davton's emmissaries to G. H. S., Kay Dalrymplc. left us, her place being filled quite aptly by Ruth Fox. Yes, indeed! Again a lull, but as usual, it was the proverbial calm before the storm. The big blow off was the Iunior Prom. This gala affair was run by the deadly four, oIIr class oflicers. As this goes to press, we are still in anticipation of our Prom, but have undying faith in the members of our class. We even hope to make a little money--the silver kind. Along with the Prom came the baseball season, and the track team began to organize. This was in April. Wet? It rained until I thought I would go mad. A lot of the boys pre- viously mentioned were engaged in these two activities. Roger Iimerson was our hurdle man. Bill Thoen tore himself away from the duties of president long enough to run the 880 yard slow death. Bill Eaton also ran. I guess this was what I was saving myself for. As my lingers are about ready to snap, I think I shall close here. But I believe that I speak for all of us when I say that the class will go on scratching its way until it reaches the peak of its efforts, the supreme triumph, graduation. In the meantime, I take off my hat and salute- The junior Class. WILLIAM EATON -27.-

The meek, easy-going sophomores surprised everyone by staging a very successful St. Patrick's dance which met with much approval. We were guided along the still confused path of sophomore life by our advisers, who pitched in and slaved with the rest of us on our dance-so hats off to them! All in all, we've had a lot of fun, and are looking forward to next year. IEAN GEIGER -29-
