By fhis lime, we were slowly gaining recognifion: fhe fop sfars began looking down and faking nofice of us. Gradually we were each admiffed info a cerfain sociefy or group. All of us were sfill wondering and hoping fhaf some day. we, foo, would reach fhaf heighf of success, fhe senior class and fop rung, which we so idolized and respecfed. Affer finishing our fhree monfhs of summer sfock we fhen became whaf is known as an upperclassrnan, a junior. Our junior year was a very evenfful one. We began in Sepfernber by elecfing our class officers, Presidenf, Dick Boddy: Vice-presidenf, Ronnie Sussex: Secrefary, Joan Adney: Treasurer, Sue Cahill. They did a very fine job.
