Richard Keene Secretary .....,...... 4..., J acqueline Goss Treasurer ....,..........,.,.r Glennis Ridley By a recent ruling, each class has but one social a year. The Junior class gave theirs November 15th. A play, entitled The Pampered Darling, was pre- sented by the following students: John Merrill, James Maxim, Chester Ray- mond, Dorothy Wellander, Dorothea Bridgham, Jacqueline Goss, Elsie Whit- tier and Pearl Flint. Two solos were sung by Anna Gilman and Clarence Swift. The Second Annual School Fair was held October llth. The Juniors' hot dog stand was well patronized. Richard Keene was King of the Win- ter Carnival. Chester Raymond won second place in the Cross Country Snowshoe Race. The Juniors were well represented in sports and clubs. They were: Boys' Basketball-Richard Keene, Keith Cole, Chester Williams. Girls' Basketball-Evalyn Knight, Dorothea Bridgham, Manager. Baseball-Richard Raymond. Football-Maynard Brackett, Frank Williams, Richard Keene. Volley Ball-Dorothea Bridgham, Evalyn Knight, Marion Jewett, Man- ager. Debating-Helen Rowe, Dorothea Bridgham.

Cross Country-Donald Lewis. Prize Speaking-Evalyn Knight, Dorothy Daniels, Elsie Whittier, Mar- garet Chase, Dorothy Wellander, Mar- ion Jewett, Pearl Flint. With deep regret we regard our loss of Frances Robbins, a star guard for the Varsity Team. Her work with the Popular Music Orchestra was well done. Since our Freshman year we have been blessed with Helen Pulkkinen's good humor and merry smile. We hope to see them with us again. During the year Stephen Smith, Margaret Whittemore and Leon Mag- nus have entered our class. There lies much good material in these new mem- bers which can be quickly recognized. The greater part of the school, plus some members of the faculty, consider the Juniors as slightly demented be- cause we chose black and silver as class colors. May we defend ourselves by saying that at least we are not hesitant to turn aside from the beaten path? With the knowledge that the ma- jority of the Juniors wanted to refrain from marching, the Seniors voted against displaying the Juniors at Com- mencement. Now, as is human nature, some Juniors have changed their minds. The question is-what next? PEARL FLINT, 137.

Leighton Hutchinson Vice-President .,.,....,,., Richard Weston Secretary .,.,.., .,.....,. E llen Farr Treasurer ....... ,,... A lthea Davis
