ffutUOSl GIgAA, cJiatoSUf, The ponies gave their first performance on November 19 under the billing, “A Little Bit of Honey”. The cast was neatly groomed by Miss Watkins. During the entire year, the herd was headed by Jack Swinney, president; Don Smith, vice-president; Joan Griswold, secretary; Mona Stagen, treasurer; and Margaret Anderson and Jack McCabe, representatives to the “Guardians of the Big Top”. Next followed Jane Merrimac and Norma Hollister, the agile bare-back riders, who led many performances of the acrobats. Larry Blue, Bob Cottrell, Eddie Dickey, Bill Harrington, Myron Hawk, Jack McCabe, Bud Merrimac, Howard Rhodes, Dick Smith, and Don Smith received letters of award for outstanding exhibitions. The ponies were well represented in the student government by Bob Cottrell as first vice-president and Don Smith as second vice-president. For their closing performance of the season, the class was the charming host to the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom on May 17. The members were under the capable direction of Mrs. Trigg and Miss Scott.
