JACK D JILL PECULAT OFFICERS RONALD SCHAERTL . . . . . President JOAN GORTON . . Vice-President JOYCE ALFORD . . Secretary ROBERT ARONSON ........ Treasurer MRS. OLIVER, Miss SPENCER, NIR. BECKER, MR. REED .-tdvisers The Jolly Juniors lived up to their name this year. Wie returned from summer vacation full of pep and raring to gol Starting the year OIT with a bang, we elected the famous football hero, Ronald Schaertl, as our class president. To add even more pep, we chose J oan Gorton, our vivacious cheer- leader, as vice-president. Joyce Alford was elected secretary and with complete CPD con- fidence, we placed our funds in tl1e hands of Bob Aronson. We were proud and happy to have several veterans added to our class this year. They have proved themselves to be good class members and we admire their determined spirit. Realizing fully what they have done for us and for our country, we welcomed them to our class and wished 'them the best of luck in their studies. The sensation of the year was our Junior Cabaret. With the music of Ray Costello's orchestra, reserved tables, waiters, entertainers, and of course, plenty of food, how could it help but be good? Our next big event was the junior play, Some Babyf, Not only was it some baby, but it was some play. It will be a long time before we forget Bob Aronson and Paul Sisson crawling around the stage, looking for babies. With a mixture of ghosts, babies, and sheriffs, the play was a great success. We were fortunate to have Mrs. Holt as our dramatic coach, her fine directing and the splendid performance of the cast, gave us a super play. Stopping just long enough to catch a breath, we started work on the Junior Jumbles. Scouts were sent to junior homerooms to dig up hidden talent, and what talent they dis- covered! Now that we had attained the high rank of Juniors, tive of our members were chosen for special honors. Two outstanding boys were picked as Junior Rotarians and three were selected to attend Boys' State this summer. We gave the seniors a gala send-off at the annual Junior-Senior party. Our class really outdid itself in decorations, entertainment, and refreslnnents. Of course, the seniors were hazed a little but they didn't mind it . . . much. Our last social event of the year will be the Junior Prom. It will bring to a close our junior year. As we look back, we can remember days of sorrow, happiness, worry and joy. The Prom will be the climax of all these days and we can be sure that it will be a highly successful and memorable one. This annal would not be complete without making mention of our class advisers. They have spent a great deal of time helping us plan our dances and arrange our programs, their guiding hand is greatly appreciated. To Mrs. Oliver, Miss Spencer, Mr. Becker, and Mr. Reed, we would like to express our sincere gratitude. NANCY DOANE, Class of '48 24

ALLEN ODELL . BARBARA YT.-XTES JEAN SUGLIA . JACK SEITZ . M Rs. SHANNON, MISS SIMMONS OFFI CICPIS MISS ISING, MISS ATILLER, , Mr.. DANVIES . . CHAT WITH . President Vice- Pres td6I1l' . Secretary TI'6fL.S'lU'Pl' A d L' i .vers Sophomores! One l1und1'ed and five of us, strong and raring to gog that's how we felt in September. We worked olf some of our energy in a stiffly contested election, choosing fun- loving Bruce Falconer as president. Wvheu Bruce moved to Schenectady in November. Allen Odell ably took over his duties. Ready and willing to do things in a big way we gave all the activities our whole-hearted support. Those Sophs interested in languages joined Latin or French Clubsg those yearning for drama entered the Wig and Rouge. Many of our musical classmates participated in band, orchestra, Senior Chorus, and our vocal geniuses came to light in the operetta HHollywood Boundfi Still other Sophs took part in .llicroplzmze Block M, Hearth Club, and Science Club. As for sports, we were not in the background. Many of our fellows helped the glory of the undefeated and unscored upon football team. A large part of the .lay Yee basketball team was made up of Sophs, and the baseball team also benefited from our skill on the diamond. We are very proud of these boys, because they have shown grand sportsmanship all the way. Those Sophs who were not able to play varsity played volleyball, basketball and baseball iutramurals between classes and homerooms. At the same time, the girls were also showing Skill in intramural sports. They even won the basketball ehampionship among all the classes. After the holidays, gloom descended upon our class. Sophomores wandered through the halls quoting Julius Caesarfi mumbling infinitives and participles. On all sides were heard discussions concerning Napoleon and congruent triangles. What caused this studiousness among the Sophs? You guessed it-Midyearsfthe scourge of our existence! But when the eventful week was over, books were once again thrown aside. and we turned our attention to the brighter side of life. First on our list was the annual Soph Hop, which was bigger and better than ever. On April eighteenth all the students gathered in the gym for a wonderful evening of dancing. food and fun. With the advent of the Fresh-Soph Play Tournament, local Bernhardts and Barrymores were unearthed. Witli our Soph year coming to a close we all turned out for the Fresh-Soph Picnic for plenty of fuu, food-and sunburn. As we look back on our Soph year, our trials and tribulations seem to fade into the back- ground aud our good times come to the fore. Our thanks go to our advisers, who have helped to make this a happy and memorable year. Although we feel a little sorry to have our second year end, we are anxiously looking forward to our third year at Mynderse. ELEANOR BEATINI, Class of '49 26 s
