The Junior Class The Junior Class, in their new role as upperclassmen, proved their abilities in leadership and citizenship well. Early in the year a class election was held. Ken Collins was returned to his office as president, Bob Wilson was elected vice- president and Dorcas Winterstein was chosen secretary-treasurer. The student council members are Bob Wilson, Ken Collins, Dick Bridges, Jo Green, Donna Reese and Janice Healy as aldermen with Vlabel White as secretary. Several of the boys were active in athletics with many receiving letters and other honors. Numerous members of the Junior Class were active in several activities and practically all members had at least one extracurricular activity. The Juniors chose as their theme for the prom the title of “Stairway to the Stars.” Committees for the prom were Decoration—Sandra Umbanhowar and Jo Green, chairmen; Dance programs— Mary Ford and Mabel White, chairmen; Entertainment—Bill James, chairman; Food committee—Phyllis Carder and Janice Healy and Invitations with Patsy Law as chairman. The music was provided by Paul Douglas and his orchestra. This year’s class has been one to look back on with pride. No task was too large; no accomplishment too small. Yes, we are proud of the Junior Class of 1950-51. Sponsored By American Can Company Yarbrough Nash Sales f 18]
