The Juniors aided a combined project oetween the Seniors and Juniors, by means of which, sufficient funds were gained to provide our Gym with an unusually complete Public Address System. Paper drives from time to time have filled our coffers to overflowing: and we were favored by the Pigeon Woman's Auxiliary with a request for a rather profitable banquet, the proceeds being exceeded only by the services rendered to the auxiliaries. One of our happiest years culminated in the Junior Play, nThe Angell Bratsn, a three act comedy that met with overwhelming success. The play was directed by hr. Sum erfield with special effects by Miss lcK1nlay. The following officers were elected: President, Lois Perry, Vice P1 eS1d9'1t, D816 5011111265 SGCPSYZBPY, Jean Schultz, Treasurer, Hilbert Schulze. 15 1 Q , ' r 'n 3 ' M rv' . fm f 1 ,,,.- l.... . ..
