JUNIOR CLASS President Vice-Pres. Sec.-Trees. Sqt.-ot-Arms Perry Roper Bill Dayton Burton Wilson Curtis Struss JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Timidly entering the halls of M.P.H.S., fifty some freshmen managed to be enrolled before they died of fright. On October 29, we were finally declared members of our Alma Mater after a frightening day at the mercy of the sophomores, with the other classes pitching in to see how miserable they could make us feel. Our first year was not too eventful with us gallantly trying but never managing to get very high in interclass contests. Mrs. Brumbaugh guided us through our first difficult year as freshmen. Coming back our second year, we had lost Bob Bushness, Ray Stickle, and Steve Jolly to the service of our country, and Larry Cook soon after he had enrolled. After losing these members, our class advisor, whom we hoped to have for a second year, left us and Mrs. Barry stepped into her place only to leave soon. For several weeks we were a very mixed-up class, with Mrs. Laird and several other teachers as substitutes, but we finally acquired Mr. Garrett, who capably led us the remainder of the year. Everyone noticed the cars rolling out of Myrtle Point, packed with sophomores and headed for the skating rink, one spring evening. We had so much fun that we returned a few weeks later on a Girls’ Athletic adventure with Miss Glenerva Harnsburger. The sophomore assembly was quite a successful one beginning with a gay pantomime with Bill Dayton and Maxine Wilson playing the leading parts. With no other eventful happenings we left our second year to become very proud upperclassmen. My, what proud people we juniors are. Not being very successful our first two years, we jumped to second in almost every interclass contest in our third year. Our proudest moment was when we won first in the boys’ basketball contest. With a new' principal. Mr. Dallas Norton, directing us, the school put on a carnival which proved to be a huge success. Our princess, Ramona Francisco, ran a close race with the other three princesses w'ho were candidates for queen. The freshman princess was crow'ned, but Ramona followed very closely in the number of votes. We have several boys who are lettermen and girls who are members of the Girls’ Athletic Association. Many of our junior students are officers in other school organizations. Ramona Francisco and Leland Harry are secretary and tieasurer respectively of Torch Honor; Burton Wilson is president of the F.F.A. executive committee; Bob Detlefson, vice-president; Don Davenport, secretary; Glade Krewson, treasurer; and Murl Laird, reporter. Burton Wilson is also vice-president of the Student Council; Chet Zumwalt, sergeant-at-arms; and Eloise Vadnais, junior representative. Dolores Barkley is treasurer of the G. A. A., and Myra Wyrick is treasurer of the Girls’ League. Around mid-term, another boy, Marvin Crosby, left to serve his country in the marines. Mentioning Marvin w’e think of his name on the “freshman band’’ cup for being the outstanding musician in beginner’s band. And not to be forgotten is our girl whose name is on the cup for the most popular freshman girl. You know I’m speaking of Charlotte Watson, to whom our loss was North Bend’s gain. On March 22, the junior class presented “Which Shall He Marry?” starring Ed Brown, who had a difficult time deciding between Eloise Vadnais. Dolores Barkley, Pat Overton, Ramona Francisco, and Evelyn Leeper, with Eloise the fortunate girl. April 5 we honored the seniors with the annual banquet held at the Presbyterian Church and later along with the underclassmen we danced to the enchanting music of Medford Fuller and his orchestra. The junior class well deserves the congratulations on «the effect that resulted from their hard work on the gym. One could hardly recognize the gym when they walked into it and beheld such a beautiful scene. Yes, we juniors are a proud class and we are going to make every effort to be one of the best senior classes ever to graduate from M. P. H. S.
