On Sep- tember 20, 1940 we had a dance, on December 23, 1940, we sponsored a movie, and on March 15, 1941, we held a Card Party. To boost our financial status, we sold pencils, printed lavender and red, the school colors, on which were printed the basketball schedules. The Junior Play, 'tOne Mad Night, directed by Mr. Kenneth Landis, in- creased the amount of our treasury considerably. Secretary Brown CLASS OFFICERS Class Adviser .. ..,,. .. , . .
