We came to school dressed in clothing of all kinds, and had to parade around the study hall. As if this wasn't enough, the Juniors gave us a party that evening in the gym, being generous enough to treat us to refreshments of alum, green persirnmons, and cat eyes. The entertainment was jumping into tubs of water, getting shocked, etc. September, 1950.

In December everyone was happy to receive their class rings. Of course, we were all quite proud of them. Two main money makingprojects were the Junior-Senior carnival, and the Junior play.
