JUNIOR HISTORY As the leaves began to change to golden brown and each day was becoming a few minutes shorter, the bashful little freshmen of two years before, and the high spirited sophomores of the previous year, began to realize that the time for school to start was drawing near once more. But this fall was a little more encouraging because they were upperclassmen now and progressing very nicely. To show that they were starting off on the right foot, they chose the following officers for the first semester: Ronald Bross, presidentg Harold Fuller, vice-presidentg LaRae Dean, secretaryg and Stanley Bridleman, treasurer, all of whom served their offices efficiently. School officers chosen were: chief justice, Morris Hillg sanitary engineer, Duane Ottoseng public service chief, Harold Townsend. Many juniors displayed talent in sports this year. In football there were many good players, namely: Ted Banash, John Coleman, Richard Thomas, Duane Ottosen, Harold Townsend, Mason Thomas, Louis Myers, Richard Rasey, Robert Endsley, and Keith Ayres. The same degree of interest was shown in basketball. Those ranking high were: Ted Banash, Duane Ottosen, John Coleman, and Harold Townsend. Joyce Harrington, Jennett Doxey, and Gail Foster seemed the most outstanding in girls, sports and deserve honorable mention.
