Florene Fairbank SPONSORSflXTiSS Weaver and Miss Sholz HE junior class features quality rather than quantity. lts approximately fifty members made themselves felt in all branches of school life. Although accom- plishment in athletics Was probably not the most outstanding instance of activity by the juniors, one of their number, Louis Clark, was placed at guard on the ,lay- hawk League All-Star football selection, while four others received letters. The class placed first in the inter-class basketball tournament. ln musical accomplishment the class was especially outstanding. Five of the six soloists at the state music contest at Emporia were juniors, as were half the members of the girls, octette, and three of the members of the boys, quartet.. The class honors also included the presidency of the Hi-Y, held by Sam lwig, an oflice generally held only by a senior. Last, but not least, the class play was a brilliant success. lt included numerous outstanding performances and was presented with a smoothness not always seen in high school productions. On the eighth day of May the seniors were entertained by the juniors with a dance at the school followed by a buffet supper. A Mexican scheme was carried out in the decorations and proved very effective. An excellent orchestra, made this event the highlight of the school's social year. i2
