JUNIOR One of the most outstanding and active classes in P.C.H.S. is our Junior Class. We lead the student body in activities, both in school and out. We started our Junior year on September 6th, and from that day on we have enjoyed every minute of it. We are no longer lower classmen and we can now look upon the Freshmen and Sophomores as we were once looked upon. The members of our class are active and enthusiastic in all we do and undertake. The majority of the football and basketball squads are made up of Junior boys. We are proud to say that we started out in high school with the five Bob's and are still going strong. We took our Junior I.Q. tests at the beginning of the year and generally passed with good scores. Parties galore have been given during the year and will be long remembered. New Juniors have come into our classes and are now one of us, proud to be a Junior. OFFICERS ADVISER—MISS MARY M.

CLASS The Junior Class Play, given November 21st, topped all records by taking in $338. We cleared $262, which was put in the Junior Class fund for the Junior and Senior banquet. Christmas vacation came and we all went home for a joyous two weeks. But all fun was subdued when we returned to school January 6, 1948, to face semester exams. We passed and that was all that counted for the time being. The second semester flew by fast. Of course we worked hard but we had fun too. Soon it was time to start on the Junior and Senior prom. We all pitched in and worked on the decorations and such. The banquet was given May 7th, at the American Legion Hall, with plenty of good food prepared by the Ladies' Auxiliary. Later on in the evening we enjoyed the music and dancing to Eddie Randle's orchestra. Yes, our Junior Class of '48 is surely a class to be remembered. 25
