Near the End of the Trail Here we are just turning the corner for the last lap of our education at dear olcl McComb High. To lead us this year we chose Charles Worthman as our presidentg Gerald Woodruff as Vice Presidentg Martelle Long as Secretaryg June Harden as Treas- urcrg and Marjorie Shafer as Reporter. Uur main object this year has been to secure enough funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet. This we did chiefly through proceeds from the candy office and the Junior Play. When we were Freshmen, we chose as our class motto, Up the Ladder Step By Step g our class flower, the sweet peag and our class colors, blue and silver. We held two very successful parties at the school house this year. Our present class consists of 45 members. Forest Butler and Burdette Curtis dropped from our ranks this year, but one new recruit, James Hill from Van Buren has enlisted. Can you match these active Juniors with their 1. Girls Glee Club a 2 .
