JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY This year our story begins with the spring of 1951. This is wl.en we elected our officers for our Junior year. Our president is Jerry Rhodes, better known to most of you as Jake, big, tall center for the N. W. H. S. basketball team. To us he is a capable leader and keeps our class meetings orderly. Our vice-president is Norbert Niles, Nub to everyone; is very efficient on the basketball floor but even more so in taking care of our concessions. Our secretary is Donna Barnhart who does not like her nickname. She takes care of our records and correspondence. Our treasurer is Warren Sloan the boy from the big city. He takes good care of our money and keeps our financial records in top form. During this period, another very important event took place, The Class Tournament. To our happiness, we, The Class of 53 won the tournament. Afterwards a party of celebration was held at the home of Warren Sloan. We also ordered our class rings which were to be delivered as soon as school started in the fall. We then became busy as bees. We had a paper and iron drive, later parked cars at the Mermaid Festival and had a bake sale. As school started last fall, we turned into salesmen and sold cedar chests, Christmas cards, and along with this, practiced for and presented our class play Seventeen Is Terrific. With a hardworking cast and a very good producer, Mr. Young, the play went off well. We all had fun producing and giving the play and afterwards enjoyed very much a party that was held at the home of Mary Ann Butler. The play cast was as follows: Dr. Allenby, a dentist - Jerry Rhodes; Mrs. Wagner ( Grandma ), Dr. Allenby's mother-in-law-Judy Hunter; Hannah Hawks, the hired girl from the country - Marlene Bennett; Chuck Allenby, with a propensity for getting into trouble - Daryle Hill; Barbie Allenby, his sister - Donna Barnhart; Janie Allenby, another sister - Mary Ann Butler; Billie Allenby, the baby brother, and a sleuth - Nub Niles; Patsy Gardner, a neighbor girl - Arlene Valentine; Nancy Pomeroy, Barbie's friend - Dixie Kuhn; Hugo Jarvis, a sophisticated youth - Warren Sloan, George Bennet, friend and ally of Chuck - Bob Likens; Ginny Grant, Churck's girl friend - Sue Ferverda. STORY: Chuck had to borrow the car that afternoon. You just can't ask a girl like Ginny to walk to a roller-skating party! But Dad, growling that it had queered a business deal cancelled his allowance for two weeks. Yes - even with the Spring Dance coming, and Hugo with his red jallopy trying to date Ginny! ! Chuck gets a job and is very secretive about it, but Billie, the boy detective reveals that it's working on a garbage wagon. He earns the $5. 00, all right. But he loses it on the way home! In the meantime, Ginny has been stalling Hugo. If Chuck can raise the money she'd rather go with him, but after all she has a new dress for the dance. In desperation, Chuck hears of a talent contest in a nearby town, enters, and wins it, too. Again he has $5. 00. But he bumps the fender putting the car in the garage and it costs $4. 85. to get it fixed. Cinny is exasperated and ready to give Hugo the nod, and poor Barbie is nearly sunk, for she has been hoping to date Hugo at the last minute if Ginny finally turns him down. But Chuck makes another supreme effort. There's treasure hidden on their old farm. Gram once buried a jar there containing 500 pennies and she's never been able to locate it. Chuck takes the map Gram gave Billie, and digs. He comes home in triumph, only to have Billie claim the find. Gram promised it to him and his map was used. It seems like the end. But a series of fresh events puts Chuck well out in front. Our class teamed up with the Senior Class to sponsor a Halloween Carnival which was held in the North Webster Community Building. Both classes shared equally in the profits. Later we sold concessions at the home basketball games. Right now we want to take the opportunity to thank the Sophomore Class for helping at some of the games. We appreciated their help very much. We have 21 members in our class and are helped with our problems by two very efficient sponsors, Mrs. Bodkin and Mr. Baker.
