Our first social endeavor for the year was another Sadie Hawkin' s Dance, which drew our many friends of last year and also new ones. Everyone enjoyed it and our efforts were well worthwhile. . We were now scheduled for a three-act play. Since our former one was so successful we looked forward to greater glory. The play chosen was called We Shook The Family Tree. The scenery for this play was superb. It was painted in a pattern to make it look like some exquisite wallpaper. The acting also was perfect and thus another success was added to our venture. Finally the most important event of our high school careers approached. With much ex- citement we prepared the auditorium for our Junior Prom. It was set up to look like a Paris Sidewalk Cafe. How beautiful it was I That night with soft music filling the room we be- held a spectacle never to leave our minds. Mary Smith and Larry Shaver, with the prom attendants, came gliding across the room to take their places on the throne and to receive the honor of being crowned King and Queen by the former King and Queen, Vincent Munhall and Margaret Owen. They came down fromythe throne and all started to dance. As seniors we hailed our last year of high school. Mr. Avery, who faithfully stood by us in our past years, was again our homeroom teacher and advisor. Our class was saddened by the departure of Miss Groden and nine classmates, some of whom left for the service, others for the state of wedded bliss. Miss Dice now became our assistant advisor. Larry Shaver was elected president with William Smith as Vice-president. Having smaller num- bers, we had to work all the harder. However, we successfully put on another three-act play called A1most Summer. We also had another 'Sadie Hawkin' s Dance and we pro- duced a yearbook. Finally we raised enough money to go to Washington, D. C. 23
