union orge .zdheavl THOUGH not a large group, the Junior Class with Miss Current as sponsor was exceedingly active in P. H. S. affairs. John Glasgow made a capable President, and Richard Taylor as Vice- President and Pat Badders as Secretary-Treas- urer were competent assistants in all questions of executive nature. First event of importance was the class play, presented on November 26 to an enthusiastic audience. Besides the stars before the footlights fwho are pictured on page 361 there were heroes and heroines back stage-Donna Erlet and Shirley Petsche who carried on their shoulders the re- sponsibilities of property manager and promp- ter, John Glasgow who superintended the con- structing and painting of original scenery, and Pal Holloway and Richard Taylor who directed lighting effects and curtain pulling. Junior Day at assembly was a great success with class yell leaders and an original skit. Stellar athletes of the class included Jimmie Roush, Mar- vin Becker, Bob Ford, Jack Frakes, and Keith Leggett. Helen Flauding could always be found at the piano, often sounding the a for such musicians as Stanley Klopfenstein, Leon Gagle, and Bud Smith. Margaret Current, first Junior president of Girl Reserves for many years, guided her group through a strenuous year, ably as- sisted by such committee workers as Joan Brady, Pat Ayres, and Betty Hoppes. Pat Badders was a popular yell leader. President of G. A. A. was Betty Garringer. Active Vo-Ag's were Carl Glassford and Paul May, and Hi-Y members included Bill Schoenlein and Richard Taylor. Betty Hoppes was an all A student, while Merlyn Bailey, Margaret Current, and Donna Erlet each made three A's, and James Browne, Shirley Petsche, and Elsie Sanders had two. Final and greatest project of the class was the traditional reception and dance given for all graduating Seniors at the opening of Senior Week. In the newly repaired gymnasium, gala that eve- ning with crepe paper and flowers, students and faculty mingled gayly together, and many a boy and girl made memories of their school days at P. H. S.
