JUNIOR HISTORY The class of ,4I, which is the largest in the school, has a membership of seventy-one versatile students whose activities include music, athletics, and dramatics. The band on parade was headed by two junior majorettes, Jacque Boudon and Phyllis Lyons, followed by twelve instrumentalists without whom the ranks would seem very bare. In the orchestra also there were five juniors who did their part in furnishing the music for the weekly assembly programs. Another musical organization, the Glee Club, had seventeen junior supporters. Prominentvamong them was Ruth Anderson, who had one of the principal parts in the operetta, Tune In. 26

CLASS HISTORY A fragrant evening in May. A 1940 Port High senior, during an evening stroll, paused in front of the high school building. Turning to get a full view of the school, he leaned back against a tree as he gazed reflectively at the scene . . . and beyond that to the stars.

The senior gave a start. His reverie was over. Tomorrow everything would be over. Tomorrow he would be a Youngest Living Graduate. Tomorrow 1940 was to separate to the four winds, never to completely reassemble. Slowly and a bit sadly the senior made his way down the street, toward his future and that of 1940. 25

The juniors served their Alma Mater with ten members on the football team. Promising players who have had experience on the varsity squad include Leewin Baker, james Redington, Harry Kelsey, and Raymond Larson. Sleepy Redington is captain- elect of next year's team. The juniors also had two members on the varsity basketball team and several members on the junior varsity. Our peppy cheerleaders, Joanna Shields and Katherine Thrash, were a great help to the cheering section as the students rooted for Old Port High. The junior girls were very active in sports and offered dangerous competition to their opponents in both hockey and basketball. Noticeable among the junior hockey victories was the 4-2 defeat of the senior girls. Exciting among the basketball games was that with the Emporium junior girls, which resulted in the visiting team's 12-7 victory. Donald Kanally, familiarly known as Dek,,' who served his second term as class president, proved himself a very capable officer. His well-delivered announce- ments added much to the junior chapel programs. In the pay-dues contest which was organized, his ability of leadership was made apparent by the favorable results. Not only were the dues paid more quickly, but friendly class spirit was noticeable in the party which the losing team gave the winners. The most gala event of the year was the junior Prom, which was held in the high school gym, April 26. The gym was gaily decorated for the festive occasion, and during intermission, a novel floor show was presented under the direction of Phyllis Lyons. 27
