The added responsibilities this year are more interesting than our two previous years. The Junior Play and The Junior -Senior Banquet, has added to our memories of our Junior year. When we entered Granite Falls High School in a body of eighty-five students, we were under the leadership of Jean Winkler, President; Iris Ann Gilbert, Vice- President; Gene Abernethy, Secretary-Treasurer. In our second year we were under the leadership of Gene Abernethy, President; Odell Winkler, Vice-President; Jea- nette Kirby, Secretary-Treasurer. This year with sixty members we are under the leadership of Gene Abernethy, President; Jerry Coffey, Vice-President; and Dolly Sue Benfield, Secretary-Treasurer. Gene Abe rnethy J. P.
