.ang THE IUNICJR CLASS Guided by its officers, under the ever-inspiring Miss McCoy, the class of 1952 has made this year a memorable one. Its dances have proved to be even more popular than usual-remember Winter Prelude in November? And who can forget the Happy Holidays in December with Bob Clayton coming out from YVHDH to spin the disks? The class had its innovations too-the class rings with the ruby stones will probably set a precedent. And one of the most important things of all-the class has had a record year in the dollar department. Credit for all this and more goes to the class adviser, to the officers, and to the many class members who served on the necessary committees. Adviser, Miss McCoyg president, Robert Keayg vice president, Claire Shan- nong secretary, Judith Kraft, treasurer, Fred WVhittum.
