Junior Class WE find the Junior Class quite a different group from the green Freshmen who entered the high school on September 4, 1934. From the leadership of a boy in that year, we find the class in the hands of Dena Otis as president with the help of Bud Edwards as vice-president, Rose Ellen Foley as secretary, and Paul Shively as treasurer. Under the sponsorship of Miss Schofield for all three years, the class has jogged merrily along. On March 19, 1937, they presented “The Night Cry,” a three-act mystery comedy. On Friday, April 16, a hay ride was given for the class preceding the annual Bam Dance for the entire high school. On May 15, the class sponsored the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, using the theme of a vineyard, which made a beautiful background for the formal dance of the year.
