iq- a I+. ,Lg-y4,na -fy JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Our first year of high school! We were practically full-grown men- and women. But, alas, the only ones who did not share our new feeling of superiority were the upper-classmen-especially the Seniors, who had completely forgotten their own trials as Freshmen, and looked upon us as children. The Juniors were in- different, and the Sophomores, still remembering their own plights and grieviances as Freshmen, resolved to take it out on us. That's where initiation comes in. Each of us represented an occupation--supposedly our future occupation. All this was followed up by a Freshman- Sophomore party given by the Sophomores for the bene- fit of us Freshmen. We sponsored in that year a St. Patrick's Day Party, a sweater swirl, and various others. Our class advisor was Mrs. Mary Ann Loode, and our officers were as follows: President, Lois Fredericksg Vice-President, David Carlton, Secretary, Jack Abramsg Treasurer, Darlene Terrill. When we became Sophomores, we tried to out do our tormentors in the matter of Freshman initiation. Each Freshman represented a well-known movie-star. After this again came the Freshman-Sophomore Party at which we acted as hosts to the new Freshmen. That year we, with the Juniors, sponsored a Christ- mas Party using as our theme the song 'Tm Dreaming of a White Christmas. Our class advisor was Mr. Edward Dou-cette, and the officers were as follows: President, Beverly Smithg Vice-President, Carrol Rimes, who left the middle of the year, Secretary, Olive Burlewg Treasurer, David Carl- ton. Now as Juniors we began to see how simple and foolish we Were, and what a hopelessly long way we have to go before we will be considered adults. Our one great moment was the Junior Play. It was Murder lVlanison, a mystery-comedy. Our class advisor is Mr. Anthony Vonk. and the officers as follows: President, Weslee Clemens: Secre- tary, Norma Richardson: Treasurer, Jack Abrams. Our prom was May 53 the menu for the banouet included chicken pie. We used as our theme Spring- time, ' During the year our enrollment was decreased through the loss of Gerald Romig, Leone Wolfe, and Leo Hughes. -Mary Atherton
