Our frlends have been kept pretty busy selllng candy all year long durmg the noon hours here at school, and operatmg the concess1on stands at the ball games. Another successful project of the Jun1ors has been to sell pennant plns to be worn on blouses, coats, and lapels. The pms made a b1g h1t as most of the students wore them to the ball games. The blggest event of the year for the hard work1ng Jun1ors was pre par1ng and select1ng commlttees for the Jumor Senlor Banquet. Each commlttee worked d111gently to make the event a success. The Jun1ors have certalnly been busy l1tt1e beavers through the previous year and we all agree they have done a wonderful Job of handlmg thlngs. Next year they w1ll undoubtedly strlve to keep up tne good work and w1ll make f1ne students. -S P ,,,, T -- h . D H - Il A ua ' - - . . . .
