VALLEY Buoua IUNE. 1947 17 Junior Class Makes 3125 from Sale of Refreshments November 4, 1946, at their first class meeting, the juniors de- cided to try to increase their funds by selling, pop, candy' pretzels, and popcorn at the various home basketball games. Donald Pracht was appointed chairman of the sales commit- tee. He chose Julie Trombley and Barbara Strouse as his help- ers. At each home game, these faithful three could be seen wait- ing patiently for the halves of the games when the mad rush began. From their worthy pro- ject, the juniors added about 3125.00 to their class treasury. The able leaders of the class are Louis Thomas, president: Richard McFadden, vice-presi dentg Althea Gabel, secretaryg and Dorothy Lazore, treasurer. The class is very thankful for the assistance they received from Miss Doerr a-nd Coach Hil- lis who were their chosen advisers, For the March 6 assembly. the juniors presented two pan- tomines which were' Pokey Huntus and The Melledramaf' During the program, the audi- ence was also ententained by the delightful tenor voice of Jack Saglimben, and by the smooth piano playing of Margaret Jones and of Dick Read. The narra- tors were Ruth Sipillman and Alice Twichell. However, the really big event of the year was the Junior Prom. From the middle of Janu- ary until April 25, these eager beavers could be seen at almost any time worrying about this prom. They decided on Holiday in Mexico for their theme-. The theme assumed form under the able direction .of Ruth Spillman. who was 'chairman of the decora- tion committee. The committee chairmen consisted of the follow- ing: Band, Keith Jollsg Decora- tion, Ruth Spillmang Refresh- ments, Sue Hoffman, Theme, Dick McFaddeng Advertising, Don Frosty Cleanup, Pat O'Don- nell. The candidates for pr.om queen were: M-ary Lou Cole, Susan Hoffman, Ruth Spillman, Ruth Sprague, Alice Mary Twichell, and Evelyn Wolcotlt. As this book goes to press, this issue is still undecided and only by buying the Valley Bugle of the class of '48, will you be able to learn the inter- esting results.
