THE CRIMSON I 1939 Arthur Moxon Bob Spink Catherine Angel Suzanne Dobyns Class At the beginning of the school year the Senior Class elected the officers who were to guide the class through its final year in J. H. S. The choice proved to be a wise one, for with these leaders the class was made a four-star attraction. During their Junior year, the class began to attract the favorable notice of the critics by their production of a class play, The Catalogue , featuring Mary Jo Brown, James French, Eugenia Barber, Arthur Ball, and Robert Gard. The class triumphed again when they put on the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. Gratia Hall and Art Moxon, the co-chairmen of this event, deserve much of the credit for its success. The directors of the class during its final year were members of the Senior Council who were elected from each home-room. The Council met at regular intervals during the year and with the advice and guidance of Miss Groves, have solved many of the class problems. One of the most important undertakings of the Senior Class was the publication of the yearbook by the Crimson J staff, with Cynthia Woods as Editor-in-Chief. The appreciation of the Senior Class for the splendid assistance and guidance of Miss Groves, the class dean, cannot be fully expressed. Her helpful kindness in dealing with the problems of the class will long be remem- bered by every Senior. 21
