The following officers were elected: Ted Musiel, president; Robert McCormick, vice-president; Marilyn Goss- man, secretary; Gerald Stacey, treasurer. The rose was chosen as our class flower, and blue and silver are our class colors. No motto was decided upon. As our first important business undertaking, we decided to operate a newspaper and enlarge the class treasury with the funds secured. Janis Almas was chosen editor-in-chief; other positions were fill- ed to form a complete staff. Mrs. Martin Atkins was chosen as our sponsor. The Junior class participated in several activities. We presented the annual Junior play Moon Shy,” December 3rd and 4th, with a large audience attending both performances. Instead of holding a regular class party, we elected to join forces with the three classes to hold a roller-skating party at Imlay City. On May 14th the Junior Prom was held in the gymnasium. The gym was beautifully decorated as a jungle with potted palms. Ward Lindsey’s Star Dusters furnished the music. Some Junior students participated in the Senior Operetta, the Minstrel Show, and the Bacculureate Services.
