Junior News August 29, seventeen students of the class of '51 entered high school for their third year of work. We elected officers in September with our advisors, Miss Thomas and Mr. Sheppard and last year's President Keith Myers in charge. We elected the following officers: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Mariyn Cross Ross Knodle Charlotte Myers Darlene Motter Keith Myers John Stykei Our dues were to be $1.00 a year. The Junior Class lost in the magazine campaign and had to do the K. P. duties. We washed dishes, mopped floors, and served all the students. A three-act farce was presented November 4th and 5th. The cast consisted of three boys and three girls. A popcorn popper was purchased by the student council and we used it, however, we gave them half the money we took in. Popcorn, seasoning and bags were furnished for us. We also sold candy. All the money making projects were for preparations for the Junior-Senior Banquet. We sold them at ball games and at noons. Our class rings arrived in November. We are all pleased with them, we had no trouble with the fittings. Plans are being made for the Junior-Senior Banquet.
