JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS NORMAN JARVIS President HARRY SUMMERS Vice President MARTINA KINCHELOE Secretory-Treasurer JACK KISSELL Sergcont-ot-Arms p JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 'HE main event of the year, naturally was the Junior Prom. “How do you feel?” th “want a Bromo-Seltzer?” Those were the words uttered after the banquet we gave JLe w°rS..re T V ‘he Jrr Pr°m- Pleas “ don,t et the « ■; U w s really super. The theme was Country Gardens, featuring a huge wishing well with a garden effect. The entrance was an arbor with .vy-entwined through it. The affair was a success and all the Juniors were very cooper-ative and worked very hard. We were well represented in the Torch Honor Society, with Juniors holding all offices. The Juniors (and the rest of the staff) who worked on the Myrtle Leaf also had a good time every Thursday mght before publication, what with dividing time between playing ping pong and writ-mg aiticSA-s we managed to get out a pretty successful paper. The next highly important event of our Junior year was the arrival of our class rings Most of the class got yellow gold background with the black onyx set, while a few of the class got the yellow gold background with a white gold mounting. Both types of rings are very impressive and we all think we will enjoy them a lot. And say! Let’s not forget those school dances our class put on at the Legion Hall in order to raise funds for our Prom. It was an awful lot of work, but we all felt well repaid after the Prom went off so well. Another way that our class shown was in having four of the seven pepsters Juniors The eirls were Nancy, Twyla. Shirley and Corlyss. They’ll be the old stand-bys next year. Well, all in all the Juniors had a swell year, despite the fact that we had to do most of the running of the school and give helpful information and advice to the faculty. All kidding aside, we had a good t.me this year, and we learned a little also. The Junior Class is looking forward to another pleasant and successful nine month term next year.

Senior Class Will . . . V7Kt the class of 1947, of the Myrtle Point High School, supposedly being in our right “ minds, in full possession of our faculties, and acting under no bribery or indiscretion, ordain and publish this last document—our will and testament. To the school as a “hole” we leave the following with the hope that they will be used wisely. A one-hour lunch period; a ping-pong table in each class room so that the students who get bored with the lessons can entertain themselves; and five minutes between each class so the teachers can pick up the yo-yos, paper airplanes, and other miscel-aneous articles the students have left behind and to allow the students a few minutes to blow their bubble-gum. Our Christmas present, in advance, is our new lockers and may the other students get as much good out of them an we did (n’t). To the Juniors we leave “MacBeth” and they have our deepest sympathy. We know they will enjoy the records—but they’ll never compete with Orson Welles. To the Sophomores we leave our quiet, dignified ways in the halls and classes. We know they need it, especially in English, where “concentration yields good results.” To the Freshmen we leave our might and power over the other classes. May they remember our application of the Golden Rule: “Do unto others ‘before’ they do unto you.” To Mr. Norton, who has had the great privilage of being our principal for two years, we leave our best wishes—and a list of all the booking agents for vaudeville entertainers, whom we hope he will add to the National Assembly programs. Then we could have some good entertainment at least once a week. If they were scheduled when we have tests coming up, there would be no doubt of financial support. To Mr. Harvey, our proud adviser, we leave our good intentions for becoming good citizens out in the world. We thought of buying him a large station wagon so he could take us on a whole week “sneak” but couldn’t afford it. To the rest of the faculty, we leave our “skip day” so that they can “get away from the students” and work for a day. The individual members of our class, as a final token of affection for our beloved classmates, do will and bequeath the following items, to wit: I, Betty Van Doren, will my gum-chewing to Mr. Harvey. I, Jerene Bell, will my ability to write book reports to Tinker Hatfield. I, Margaret Meyer, will my towering height to Marvene Christensen.
