l THE EVENTS OF THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class has had a year teeming with interesting activities. With the help of the other class officers, and the cooperation of the class as a whole, our first party, held on Thursday, January 21, was a great success, Entertain- ment was provided by various talented girls of our class. Betty Weiner our Vice President, acted as mistress-of-ceremonies. Following the entertainment, we were served delicious refreshments in the lunch-room. The party was con- cluded by dancing in the Gymnasium. On May 28 we had our Baby Party. Again various girls displayed their talents. A play entitled, Sceing's Believing was presented under the direction of Miss McLaughlin. Additional entertainment was afforded by the contestants in thc baby costume contest. lVe were served refreshments, and thus ended another glorious day. The selecting of our class ring was quite an event in itself. We finally came to the decision that a littlc, rounded checker-board onyx was the ideal one for our class. At Christmas time, it has always been the work of the Juniors to decorate the school. After a few nights of hard but interesting work, we were able to present to the school a touch of Yuletide spirit. The Christmas tree, which stood inside the Townsend Street entrance was a special treat to all who viewed it. Our class had the pleasant duty of making and selling candy at the Scholar- ship Play. I know the candy was good, and our customers were pleased. We were proud of our donation of 347.15 to the Senior Class for the Scholarship fund. We wish to express our gratitude to our sponsor, Miss Williams, whose cheer- ful help has been so valuable to us all. . Dorothy Foundas, Junior Class President 52
