Those students were selected by their classmates and teachers on the qualities of leader- ship, character, and service. Scholarship is a qualification. 15 Those eligible for election must be in the upper 30 per cent of their class scholastically. Principal Gerald Travis had charge of the program, with the as- sistance of members elected last year, Floy Davis, Rosemary Derks and Grace Jeanine Kissell.

Some juniors held offices in organizations, others took their places in music and ath- letic groups. Highlights for the juniors in- cluded the annual carnival, which featured a truth-or-consequence game with the au- dience participating. The class play brought fun for cast and production staff. The juniors created a gala atmosphere, using Paris in the Spring as the theme, for the banquet honoring the seniors. Doing the honors for the seniors reminded the juniors that even bigger events lay ahead. FIRST ROW: Theda Bell. SECOND ROW: Phyllis Bowman, Jon Boxler.
