During this second semester the juniors became very serious when they realized that entertaining the seniors at the J-Hop would 1m expensive. While in the serious mood they presented “Little Women” as the annual junior play. They filled their treasury with the returns from the play and, with all the juniors jolly again, general chairman Florence Wright busied her chairmen with J-llop plans. The theme was “By a Wishing Well.” The gym was decorated with a wishing well in one corner while stars twinkled brightly here and there. Still jolly they looked happily toward the W ater Carnival, but their jollity turned again to seriousness when they learned it was their job to assist with graduation plans. The juniors, realizing how momentous the pend- ing graduation was for the seniors, kept their sober mood for the rest of the year. After all they will be seniors soon, so why not?

 A—r J $ ti J unior ci ass Tin juniors, thinking that the junior year was the time to be joyous, had a merry time from the start under the leadership of Joan Erway and her assistants, vice president Beverly Bross, secretary Ix is Kenyon, and treasurer Donald Johnson. They lent a joyful air to the Spotlight with a ) oys dancing chorus and a real car drawing in their act. “Our County Fair.” Beal toy cars we mean. The mailman played Santa Claus to the juniors lucky enough to get the order for their junior rings in early, but the others had to wander around awhile longer without the ring which marks them as upper-classmen. The Spring Swing attracted many juniors, who sang Penny Serenade” for their part in the singing contest and did it so realistically they were showered with pennies. The juniors slipped up on their class election the second semester almost as hadlv as the freshmen. The presidency was the only office con- tested. When the battle was over, Joan Erway arose again victorious with Bill DeCou vice president, Ruth Beck . ip[ ljt tJs- i

Taking advantage of Leap Year, the sophomores enter- tained the other classes at a Leap Year mixer, which kept chairman Marion Cook running hither and yon making last minute arrangements. The gals receive! a taste of how a boy feels when he asks a girl to dance. All girls who danced each of the first seven dances with a different boy were eligible for the dancing prize.
