JUNIORS Junior Class Officers Lett to right: Peggy DeChant, Secretary; Richard Ruble, Vice-President; Jack Tease, President; and Jean McCullough, Treasurer. In September, 1945, our class of twenty-three boys and thirty-three girls, started out as juniors under the leadership of Miss Hastings and Miss Herson. With an abundance of energy we began working to uphold this title of juniors. In September we used part of our excess enthusiasm for having a food sale and chancing off a turkey. October found us planning our Hallowe'en Dance. As early as November committees were appointed to start planning the peak of our year—the Junior Prom. We celebrated March by giving a St. Patrick's Day Dance. It was in this month that our long waited for class rings arrived. With a wonderful feeling of pride we donned this symbol of being a junior. Then to top off the whole year we gave the dignified prom in honor of the departing seniors. But all of our school year wasn’t dancing. Oh, no. With the capable assistance of our teachers we struggled with our text books and tried to absorb the thoughts contained within them. Many were the mental battles with history, Spanish, English, chemistry and other subjects. With the hope of having mastered these we are looking forward to fill the vacancy and becoming dignified seniors. We hope that we will be as active, scholastic, honorable, and idealistic as our predecessors. Good luck on your journey into the world, seniors. We, the juniors, send our best wishes with you.
