30 .luniors . The first few days of September found our unit-conscious Juniors scrutinizing their schedule cards to be sure nothing had been omitted. They had returned to Grover resolved that this was the year to buckle down to serious business. The casual air they had worn in their Sophomore year was gone - they were serious students. In the winter the Juniors were friendly with each other fthe class elections were rapidly approachingl. At last they experienced the fun and thrill of electing their class officers and superlatives. The homeroom treasurers, however, found it very difficult to collect the dues and had to resort to giving a Howdy Doody badge to everyone who paid his dues.

Year of Assurance Once Freshman initiation was finished, the Sophomores devoted themselves to their studies. While they could always be identified in the halls by the few books they carried and by the Not-a-care-in-the-world expression on their faces, la picture which not even final examinations changedl, they passed very creditably. The Sophomores excelled in athletics. ln spite of their lack of experience, Sophomores gained positions on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. Their victory in the intra- murals in November augurs well for Grover's future record in interscholastic cross country competition and the Sophomore contestants were outstanding in intramural track. The Sophomore record at the half-way mark is very promising and we anticipate a brilliant future for them as upperclassmen.

Year of Decision But finally all the dues were collected and the Juniors focused their attention upon Junior Day. They prepared a fine Junior Day Program and enjoyed their day as a respite from preparations for the rapidly approaching final exams. From Junior Day fun they returned to their books with renewed vigor. This, too, was the year that they began thinking seriously of their future vocations and spent many hours in the counseling offices dis- cussing various careers, and receiving much valuable advice from the counselors. Truly, this was a year of decision for the Juniors and we are sure that they have used it wisely.
