JUNIORS . SELL BEANIES OFFICERS President Dale Campbell Vice President Duane Craig Secretary ,. Bernard Fish Treasurer Harold Newell Bernard, Dale, Harold, and Duane discuss plans for the Jr.-Sr. Prom. The Junior Class was found participating in many events during the school year 1945-46. Our classes were filled with fun and amusing episodes along with much serious academic work. In Spanish class Erma Austin has proved herself an outstanding student. George Demy- anovich and Duane Craig would make a very good debating team, while Mary Cauffield and Peggy Cochrane write excellent themes. Our class was well represented in the field of sports. Room 5 sent Bernard Fish, Jim Clark, Duane Craig, Ted Carns, Eddie Barber, and Dale Mountaineer Campbell to the gridiron. These boys did their best for L. H. S. and are very valuable material for next year. When basketball season rolled around, we found some tall and promising play- ers in Jim Clark, Duane Craig, Dale Campbell, Harold Newell, Bob Johns, Carl Tantlinger, and George Hoover. Besides being well represented on the Mountaineer Staff, the Student Council, the Mountie, and various clubs, our homerooms pre- sented very entertaining assembly programs. Sally Zimmerman from Room 'll demonstrated her unique ability to tap-dance. Room 5 gave an accurate picture of a typical family on Sun- day morning. As salesmen the members of our class were very successful. lt was not an unusual thing to find Dorothy McMullen stationed near the audi- torium selling beanies, or H Weller and Caryl Snyder trying desperately to sell enough tickets to charter a bus to a basketball game. A great many social events were sponsored by our class. At the first, a Halloween party, we had a very exciting time, because Ted Carns, while on a scavenger hunt, was arrested and taken to iail. We were relieved when he was bailed out, but we were even more relieved the next morning when we discovered that it was all a hoax. Then in November came the Sadie Hawkins Dance where everybody donned his blue jeans, plaid shirt, and clodhoppers for an evening of fun. Dale Campbell and Bea Fish were chosen King and Queen of Hearts at the Valentine Dance. Other events included a Box Social, a Record Dance, the Class Play, and our annual Prom. There are some greatly talented musicians in our group. Bill Nicely, our Tommy Dorsey, won first prize in the high school division of the American Legion Amateur Show. ln February we were sorry to lose Robert Johns who had en- tertained us so well with his guitar and songs at parties and assemblies. However, Bob left school to serve in Uncle Sam's Navy. We feel that this year has been both a happy and successful one for the Class of 1947 and we intend to do even better next year when ll we take over Ligonier High School as Seniors. e 24
