STAND-INS You can easily tell by the pleased expressions on Mrs. Carberry's and Miss Murton's faces that the Jr. High have just become basketball champs . The seventh grade, in the 1953-54 school year, chose Janet Matousek, Ronnie Herold, and Harry Koel as their officers. They were a very active group. In the fall their Homecoming float took second prize in the big parade. There are many budding salesmen in the class. They participated in many successful sales; the magazine sale, the seed sale, and the candy and cupcake sales, to name a few. Under the patient direction of Miss Lila Murton, they held several parties, Christmas, Valentine, and then concluded the year with a big picnic at the State Park. By selling tickets of admission to the Art Exhibit, they earned a beautiful picture for their class room. Quite a number of boys played on the successful Junior High basketball team. They included: Gary Bunders, Ronnie Herold, Harry Koel, Art Albee, Gene Wayne, and Marvin Burkhalter. Wayne Mitchell was manager. First Row: Barry Sletten, Carol Hutchison. Diane Rutter.

Mrs. Rathbun has just completed making a list of assignments for the patrol boys. As we probe deeper into our play book, we find the supporting cast frantically preparing for their four-act performance. For two years, the Jr. High have rehearsed and now move into the limelight under the capable direction of Mrs. E. Rath-bun, Miss L. Murton and Mrs. B. Carberry. Preparation for the play began in September of '53 when the eighth grade chose Patsy Gentes as President to lead them through the year. Her assistants were Jim Smrcina, Vice-President; and Steve Martin, Secretary-Treasurer. Under the careful direction of these students and their teachers, the Jr. High participated in many activities and projects. One of the biggest being the annual magazine sale. Elaine Erickson was the leading salesman and won a plaque for her effort. Jr. High — 25
