JU IOR CLASS On January 7, the students were grieved to learn of the death of our secretary- treasurer, Floyd Gall. John Zobrlst filled his position for the remainder of the year. Ill OUI' S0Dll0lll0I'9 Year our class sponsors were Miss Wenger and Mr. Simerl. That year the class C0nSiSt6d of illifly-Ilille members. The following officers were chos.en:Marion AICII. PI'eSid9I1i3 Clyde 15011, Ville Presidentg and Dorothy Ellen Draper, S'ecretary-Trea- surer. The class gave an all-high school Hallowe'en party. This was largely attended, and all enjoyed themselves. The class produced the feature known as the Big Broadcast at the school carnival given for the benefit of the Boys' Athletic Association. Our representa- tive, Dorothy Ellen Draper, was elected queen. We had home room periods every Friday. Various programs were held at these meetings which lasted tllirty minutes. We were all shocked to learn of the death of another of our classmates, Wilbur Le- Iluc, He has been greatly mlssed by the class. He was an active member of the F. F. A. and Glee Club, and was willing to help at any time he could. The members of the junior class have been exceedingly active during their junior year. They started by sponsoring a home-made Christmas candy sale. Members of the foods class made the candy, and it was sold to students and faculty during the noon hour or after school, This year our school was host to several basketball tournaments and a band and solo contest. Some of the junior girls sold candy and refreshments at these functions. The juniors also sponsored an assembly program. They had a mock Major Bowes Amateur Hour, in which anyone in high school could participate. It was quite a successful program as some unusual talent was discovered. Florence Manwaring as Cowboy Bill and Beatrice Paul as Little Miss Muffet tied for first place. Each were awarded a box of candy. Soon after the tournaments the juniors sponsored a school party. It was a Leap Year-St. Patrick's Day party. The girls invited the boys, asked for the dances, and bought the refreshments. The music was furnished by Mr. Brown. The next thing that faced the juniors was the class play. Mr, Yates helped select and coached the play. lt w.as entitled The Millionaire , a Longman-Green play in which George Arliss starred some years ago. The play was a huge success and all the juniors wish to express their hearty thanks. to Mr. Yates for his splendid work. The juniors had a con- test in connection with the tickets which were sold. Each member was warned to sell as many as he could. The fourteen people who sold the largest amount were given a picnic. It was financed by the other half who had sold the least number of tickets. On May 30 at 6:30 P. M. in the High School Gymnasium the juniors entertained the seniors with a dinner-dance based upon the theme of an old Southern mansion. They were glad to be the first class to have the opportunity to use the gym for this purpose. The home economics classes prepared the food and sophomore girls served the banquet.

The lirst party we had was for freshmen only, It was to be held out-of-doors, but due to rain it was held in the high school assembly. Later the class sponsored a party for the whole school. This party was largely attended. At the beginning of our sophomore year forty-five of our class returned. Through- out the year many members of the class took part in many of the school's clubs and or- ganizations, On May 1, 1936 the sophomores presented an assembly program which con- sisted of nursery rhymes and songs. Each person was dressed to fit the nursery rhyme he said. f
