Members of the class have been promi- nent in sports, dramatics and music. ' For a general assembly we presented a typical night on the radio, including imitations of Frank Sinatra, Quiz Kids, Truth or Conse- quences, commercials, orchestras and Major Bowes. Miss Hall directed our junior class play, The Scarecrow Creeps , which mystified and delighted the audience. The junior class sponsored the annual Junior Prom with the assis- tance of the class advisers, Miss Thomas and Miss Brunquist. It was greatly enjoyed by all. Class officers were: president, Joy Reed, vice president, Dan Fol- lettg treasurer, Ruth McCulleyg secretary, Dick Belt. 'k'k'k Back row! Cleft to rightl Frank Harkenrider.

The gym was transformed for the evening into an enchanting rose room, beautifully decorated with flowers, shrubs, and trellises. Lights were low, and delightful music was provided by the orches- tra. The occasion was an impressive one-festive and gala. The 1944 Prom climaxed the social activities of the year, and will long be remembered by all who attended. Miss Thomas and Miss Brun- quist, junior advisers, assisted the class. -
