The Junior Class sTrives To make This The big evenT oT The season. In every class There musT be someone To sTarT The ball a-rolling. This year The hero was Ray Reid, who, wiTh The aid oT his classmaTes, made This year's prom a huge success. The Juniors won The Red Cross Drive wiTh The aid aT Middle B's bombshell. No oTher secTion knew how much This class had, so They slackened in Their eTTorTs. When The day oT reckoning came, Middle B's bomb- shell wenT OTT, and The Juniors capped The drive. The Juniors beaT The Seniors in pushball and The Sophomores in soTTball on Field Day. They ran away wiTh The Academic Plaque. RoberT Baurle won The Spelling ConTesT and The Hobby Talks, ErnesT Cupo placed TirsT in The Book MarT, and second in The Hobby Talks and The OraTorical ConTesT, and Neil Di Giacomo Took second place in The OraTorical ConTesT. Many oT The Juniors made ouTsTanding conTribuTions To McBurney's aThleTics. Ray Reid, Jack EckhardT, Julian Luykx, and Ed- ward DuThu were on The swimming Team. Bob Karpas, Phil Brooks, and John Law- rence played baskeTball. The Juniors had men on The TooTball, baseball, Tennis, and Track Teams. Judging Tram Their showing This year, The Juniors should be one oT The besT Senior classes McBurney has ever seen.
