Not only was there the largest enrollment in the history of Plainfield High School, but the school itself was transformed. Our last vision of the inter- ior ofthe building had been one of rough, creaky floors and anything but artistically painted walls: now hardwood floors, daintily tinted walls and the nucleus ofalibrary and reading room greeted us. All of these im- provements have made for a better school spirit and the results are very gratifying. Classes were organized the second week of school, as follows: SENIOR CLASS President, ---- Roy Eyers Vice-President, - - Edna Grenier Secretary, Robert Sherman Treasurer, - - - Ruth Moore Supervisor, - - Miss Armstrong JUNIOR CLASS President, - - - Walter Dougherty Vice-President, - - Julia Lyon Secretary - Addie Baker' Treasurer, - Stanley Shumway Supervisor, - Miss Mahoney
