In the fall they were amply represented on the football team, and, on the basket- ball team they were very much in evidence. Track was also one of this class's long suits and many went out for it and did a fine job. Not being bogged down by the snow in December, the

AS TIME GOES BY At last being “upper-elassmen,” the Juniors decided to get busy and prove their position. The officers chosen to guide the class through its first semester were: Dave Steinke, President; Newell Heath, Vice-President; Lora Linington, Secretary; Charles Altoft, Treasurer. Grid-iron starts weren't lacking in the Junior Class and seven were awarded letters. The letter- men included: Charlie Altoft, Newell Heath, Archie Voisard, Jim Adams, Norm Zeigler, Ger- ald Misch, and Chuck Miller. Charlie Altoft and Chuck Miller are to be next year’s co-captains. Besides football, the Juniors boasted of four basketball lettermen, without which the squad would have been at a loss. These athletes were: Dick Bryans, Dave Steinke, Paul, McKeough, and Jack Kenniston. Dick Bryans made the second- string all-conference team. A novelty sweater dance was sponsored by the Junior Class on December 17. The name was “Winter Wonderland,” and the general chair man, Donna Derry. Second semester brought a heated political bat- tle with the “Honest Four” winning out. The class officers for second semester were: President, Norman Zeigler; Vice-President, Dick Bryans; Secretary, Jane Miller; Treasurer, Charles Miller. Some of the more musically inclined Juniors took part in the Solo and Ensemble Contest in Grand Rapids. The persons and their divisions are as follows: Ann Dean, 2; Jim Durham, 2; Lenore Compton, 3; Mary Jane Andrus, 3. Janet Osborn also went along to accompany some of the above mentioned. Mary Jane Andrus, Dick Annable, Lenore Compton, and Janet Osborn maintained all “A” records for first semester to prove the class had brains as well as brawn. Six juniors were elected to the National Honor Society. They were: Dick Annable, Janet Osborn, Lenore Compton, Dona Young, Mary Jane Andrus, and Evangeline Kurr. The District Forensic Speech Contest had two representatives from the Junior class. Evangeline Kurr competed in the Dramatic Declamation Division and Dona Young took part in the Ex- tempore Speaking. Dona took first in her field against tough competition. “What A Life” was chosen as the dramatic presentation of the year, with a theme of Henry Aldrich. It was given March 31 with a cast of nineteen members. The student-manager was Lenore Compton. To show their gratitude for her hard work, the cast presented Miss J. Smith, their director, with a bouquet of flowers. No sooner was the play over than plans for the J-Hop began. With the J-Hop came thoughts of Spring and the realization that soon they would be seniors. Only one more year! Juniors sponsored the Christmas dance and even had Santa Clause and his sleigh present. Being so active, spring fever didn’t have a chance to make an appearance. The class showed their dramatic talent by producing their first play and later in the spring they entertained the seniors at th e annual J-Hop. As they watched the seniors march down the aisle they teere already making plans for their own graduation.
