Juniors Move Forward Junior Class Uiiioers TOM KENAN Prefident RAYNELL JOHNSON Vice-Prefidenl CHARLENE FRANKE Secretary Junior Elass Sponsors LILLIAN BRASHER Chairman J. O. DUNHAM FRANCES GREEN CHARLINE LAMONS ALBERT PAOLUCCI SARAH KATE WOOD Starting the 1947f48 year's activities for one of the most outstanding junior classes of all times was the election of class officers. Tom Kenan was chosen president, Raynell Johnson, vice president, and Charlene Franke, Secretary. Under this trio, the juniors received many honors and won the respect of all OHS. Junior sponsors chose A Date with Judy as the annual junior play, December 11f12. Although only fourteen juniors ,could be in the play cast itself, there were more than fifty other class minded students on com' mittees, crews, and other positions. Evidently, work put into the two producf tions of A Date With Judy was well worth it, for all previous gate receipts of junior plays were topped by the comedy. Teenftown was the site of a junior class party February 12. Entertainment included dancing, floor shows, other recreational ad' vantages and refreshments. This was the first such party ever held by an OHS class in history. In the annual English intrafmural speech contest, three oratoricalfminded juniors carried the banner for their class. These three were Nancy Greaves, dramatic reading, French Brown, standard oration and Torn Kenan, original oration. Closing the year's activities for these juniors was the annual juniorfsenior banquet May 14 at the Presbyterian Church. A Southern plantation theme was used, with gay decorations suggesting the colorful plan- tation life placed about the tables and rooms. Deserving most of the credit for the success of the banquet are the junior sponsors and the Junior council, They worked together in i perfect harmony with the class officers in selecting the theme, the committees and col- lecting the junior dues. The two main addresses of the evening were delivered by French Brown and Bob Rogers. French's speech was the tribute to the Senior class and was entitled My Old Kentucky Home. Bob's was of a more humorous vein and was under the theme of L'Old Folks at Home. Other special numbers on the program were two songs by the Junior Key Notes, and vocal solos by Charlene Franke and Edna Jackson. Nancy Ryon did a reading called Topsy Takes the Cake and Johnny Carpenter and Joe Ann Parks dramatized a famous love scene from Romeo and Juliet. To fill out the banquet program a famous Southern Medley was played by two Junior cornetists, Junior chairman, Mrs. Frances Green, Mr. J. O. Miss Charline Lamons, Mr. A1 John Allen and Bob Bailey. sponsors are Miss Lillian Brasher, Dunham, Paolucci, and Miss Sarah Kate Wood. Members of the Junior Council who planned the events of the year are: Sandy Douglass, Joe Warriner, Raynell Johnson, Zula Smith, Ken Barton, Pat Corbell, and Walter Harkrider. The Junior class wishes to extend to the 19474948 seniors best wishes for their sucf cess and happiness and hope to prove theme selves capable of taking the Seniors' place next year. The juniors are ready to accept the chalf lenge and responsibility of being the school leaders given to them Commencement night with the flaming torch. Page twenty-one
