To lead us this year was Tina Boyd, President; Sharon Boyer, Vice-President; Bob Howell, Secretary; and Judy McCool, Treasurer. Our biggest projects were the Junior Prom and our Junior Play entitled, Paint the Town Pink.” With Home¬ coming once more before us, we chose as our candidates, J. Hinkle, T. Boyd, J. Perkins, and L.

Our officers for this year were Gary Archey, President; Claudia Moberly, Vice-President; Mary Moyer, Secretary; and Sharon Boyer, Treasurer. As homecoming candidates, we chose J. Williams, J.
