During the year there was a loss of six members: Edward Abel, Laveme Allen, Vivian Backus, Edgar Cooley, Sandra McCullough, and Norman Murdock; and a gain of two: Margaret Black and Tom Lock. President, Richard Hartsuff; vice president, LeVon Prentice; secretary. Heather Webb; treasurer, Nancy Voelker; and student council representatives Max Benne, Douglas Clark, and Paul Roney led the class during the year. As money making projects the Juniors had the sale of ice cream on Wednesday and Friday noons, the very successful novelty booth at the carnival, paper drive, one rummage sale, and the selling of cards at Christmas time. Virginia Irvin was presented with a lovely gift for her efforts of high salesmanship by the Sunshine Art Studio. In the fall the Juniors presented “Harvest Moon,” for which the music for dancing was supplied by Jerry Warren and his band. At Christmas time the Juniors, under the chairmanship of Donna Bassett, made up a basket of food and presented it to a needy family. The Junior play, “My Favorite Girl Friend,” under the direction of Miss Schram, was presented to the public on two evenings in April. This year the Juniors did something entirely new when they took the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, “Sentimental Serenade” to the Union Building at Michigan State College. The music for the Prom was played by Jerry Warren and his seven-piece band. With these achievements accomplished, the Juniors are looking forward to an enjoyable and successful Senior year. [27]
