Magazine Sales Began 54 Years Ago In 1923, one of this school's greatest traditions began. In that year, the Curtis Publishing Company launched the magazine campaign. For one week students sold subscriptions for the Ladies' Home Journal at the price of $1.00 a year. The four classes competed and points went toward the awarding of a class loyalty cup. Of the total $296 raised, half went to the band for the purchasing of new instruments. By 1977, fifty-four years later, the selection of magazines as well as their prices had greatly increased. Under the leadership of new campaign director Mrs. Follensbee, students topped all previous records. In combined magazine and Banner subscription sales, over $27,000 was raised. About 30 per cent of that amount went for the production of the yearbook. Drama students contributed to the expanding forensics program by performing in one of the four one-act plays. They were judged in a public performance, and the cast of Adam and Eve emerged as the best and eventually advanced to district competition.

Juniors Spend A Night Among The Stars A record breaking number of over 120 couples spent A Night Among the Stars on Saturday evening, April 29. The Class of 1979 presented the event with great success. Many juniors helped to change the gym into an old-fashioned park, complete with trees, benches and a bandstand. The Grand March, led by King Gary Bleeker and Queen Julie Schuld, was held on a large bridge over a pond. Post Prom was held at Meadow Springs Golf Club. The Jefferson Rotary Club sponsored the event. A park bench in front of the old Ice Cream Shoppe provided an excellent view of the prom decorations for Debbie Wedl and Dave Mercer. 20 J unior Prom
