For the second semester, Marjorie Burman was president and Carl Blick, vice president. Nhcn we returned for our Junior year Mr Hunt took charge of us, and well we needed his help, for we cou1dn't seem to keep in the right channel. Dyer Pettijohn was president for the first semester, with Edith McClintick taking over the second semester. In October we spon- sored our first dence--a masquerade dance, which proved to bc e great success. In April we were hosts to the seniors at the junior-senior banquet and prom.
