As Upperclassmen, Juniors Assumed Many Responsibilities Upon entering their third year of high school, members of the Class of 1970, with the assistance of their sponsors, Miss Dorothy House and Mr. Don Sexton, began planning projects to raise funds for the Junior-Senior Prom and the class trip in 1970. Among these projects was the selling of candy and soda - the year-round prerogative of the Juniors. Early in September, the Junior and Senior classes competed for top honors in the annual magazine sales. Although the Seniors won, the Class of 1970 made $1709.04. The class play, followed by a bake sale, provided another means of making money. One highlight of the year was the arrival of the class rings, public announcements that the Class of 1970 were truly upperclassmen. Another was the annual Junior-Senior Prom, near the end of the year. All Juniors were required to participate in the Illinois Statewide High School Testing Program, a series which measures abilities and skills in all subjects. Those Juniors who wished to go on to college and those who wanted to qualify for scholarships took either the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test or the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Exam.
