Louis Brooks ....Miss Ora Rush .... Miss Bess Atwell The class of 1941 was represented in football by Johnson, Steele, Brooks, and Brannon, and by Helm and Johnson in basketball. Many others played on the second and third teams. The annual Junior Play, “320 College Avenue,” presented November 12, was an encouraging success. At all football and basketball games Ruth Baker, Betty Fleming, Juan Lackey, Clyde Martin, and Paula Whitton operated a refreshment stand, the proceeds of which went to the class treasury. May 17, we gave the Junior-Senior reception, an outstanding social event of this year, on which we will all look back as one of our happiest affairs. The class expresses its gratitude to its sponsors, Miss Ora Rush and Miss Bess Atwell, for their advice and guidence throughout this pleasant year.
