JUNIOR CIu' SS HISTORY committees attended to their duties such as sending invita tions, obtaining an orchestra, and securing furniture. The decoration committee, of which Lyle Himebauch was chairman, spent many hours in beautifying the Wan-a-go Ballroom. When the great night finally arrived, we were very happy to have good weather and an unusually large crowd. O21 entering the ballroom one met a gay panorama of pink and blue bowers, colored lights, and multi-colored ballons. The dresses of the girls lent a colorful note to the picture as the couples danced to the fine music of the Knights of I Melody. After the grand march, which was led by James Dugden and Clara Agathen, the dancers filled their programs and dancing continued. The successful prom was the climax of our year’s activities. Vie are looking forward to the approach of our Senior year which we hope will be even more successful and happy than this year has been.

JUKIOR CLdi Uio'l'Uh' T: c Junior Class organised in September with thirty- eight members. We elected James Sugden, President; Lyle Himebauch, Vice President; Jeanette Denzine, Secretary; Muriel Menick, Student Council member. Miss Klein became our faculty adviser. A few weeks after school started we began our plans for the Homecoming. Ideas for floats were discussed. The one we decided upon represented the grave of our opponents. A marker on the grave told how this brave Union Grove team had met its sad fate in a game at Mukwonago. The first school party of the year was to be in the form of an all school carnival. Each class was asked to prepare a skit and a copcession. The Junior Class skit was an amateur hour. This consisted of readings, singing, and a kindergarten in charge of Lorraine McAdams. We even discovered that some of our classmates had talents in the line of hog-calling and grand opera singing. AlasI The man at the gong did not al- p ways appreciate their abilities. For our concession, we en- gaged a gypsy fortune teller. A long line of curious students H stood at her tont all evening. Many of us were greatly en- couraged by her prophesies for the future. Then came the selection of our class rings. Because we had difficulty in choosing a design which pleased everyone the salesman suggested that we establish a standard crest to be used by all the classes in the future. After consulting the other classes and taking a vote we decided in favor of this suggestion. To secure ideas for the crest we held a contest in which anyone in school could submit original draw- ings of crests. The drawings were sent to the Artist at the Spies Company, and he in turn worked out designs from them. On completing his work, he sent us three pictures from which we were to choose one. The one chosen was a combination of the drawings submitted by Evelyn Rehberg and Lyle Himebauch. Our orders were placed, and we received our rings shortly A R R O W after Christmas vacation. For our class play our director, Miss Goetz chose Peggy Parks. Many of us tried out for the various characters and waited in suspense until the following day when the parts were assigned to us. The cast chosen included Ramona Hause, Virginia Fougner, Lorraine McAdams, Grace Baxter, Mary Ann Cartlidge, Muriel Menick, Ervin Miller, Glen Rintleman, John Keniston, and Mike Anich. Leona Bailey and Elizabeth Fardy were the business managers and Lyle Himebauch acted as proper-. ty manager. The play was presented on Friday, March 6. The M large crowd, the success of the play, and the fine orchestra A selections all helped to make it a gala evening. Early in April our thoughts turned to the annual Junior Prom. We held a meeting and set the date for April 25. Then followed several weeks of busy preparation. The various
