Our class motto is Truth Gives Wings To Success . In October, about a week before Thanksgiving, we received our class rings from Herff-jones Company in Indianapolis. We are very proud of them and naturallythink they are the prettiest ones made so far. On November 2.3rd and 24th we presented our junior Class Play. We chose a comedy entitled Tons O' Fun . We have worked hard all year, making money for our reception. We sold con- cessions at all the home basketball games, each taking turns on various committees. We wish to thank everyone who patronized us. We had a nice Christmas celebration here at school. We got a Christmas tree and decorated it for our home room. The day before we got out for Christmas va- cation we had a gift exchange. The class also presented our class sponsor, Miss Thatcher, with a brown leather purse. Everyone enjoyed the treats given by the P. T. A. and the school. We also liked the Christmas Movie. On February 6th, we had our class assembly. Most everyone took part in it. It was a great success. Our class party was held at the school house on February 9th, We played games and had refreshments. Everyone enjoyed themselves. ' The 12th of March we sponsored a St. Patricks Day Dance. This was a50-50 dance with Mr. Bill Parker calling the square dances. The dance band employed was Peck Harter's. We held our junior-Senior Reception at the Country Club at Union City, Indiana, on April 29th. Bob Armstrong's Orchestra played for the evening's dancing. We hope and believe everyone had a wonderful time and that it will be a highly remembered event in the years' to come. Special honors go to june Keller as runner-up in the Prince of Peace Contest. Her topic was The People's Peace . Also to joan Melody who had a poem publish- ed in the National High School Poetry Association. This is the second time she has had one published. We wish to thank the Seniors for the Public Address System installed in our home room. It is very helpful and we know it will be a great help for the future classes of jefferson. We wish the Seniors of 48 the best of luck in their future years away from jefferson. 33
