JUNIORS Under the able direction of Miss Holland, the juniors started eagerly into their busiest year in high school. With extraordinary instinct they found the seniors in the annual hunt, for which outstanding accomplishment they were awarded a party. The juniors sponsored a roller-skating party to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom. This event, the most important party of the season, was characterized by the same gaiety and good fellowship as of former years, even though many of the usual materials for making this party a success were not available. Palm trees and grass skirts were effectively employed to create a realistic Hawaiian atmosphere. Appreciation is extended to the Home Ec Department and waitresses for the delicious banquet served before the dance. The high point of the evening took place when the senior queen. Sherrilyn Kell, accompanied by her attendants, relinquished her throne to the newly-elected queen. Nancy Early, surrounded by her court of honor — Ula Wright, Janice Stratton. Colleen Rooney. Vivian O’Neill. Helen Kiley. and Betty Miller. 18 The 1945 Reflector

As freshmen they buzzed through the year headed by Ruth Eade. Fred Herman, and Janet Miller as class officers, and Mr. Davis, as class advisor. They successfully gave a Sadie Hawkins Day party to which the boys were invited by the girls! After the Junior Mixer they became more sure of themselves and sped on their way to be sophomores. As sophomores they have accomplished another eventful year. A party was held in the Home Economics room. (No map was needed to find it this year.) The climax of the social events of the sophomore calendar was a Valentine Party held at the home of Norma Hupach. Games were played, and prizes were awarded to the lucky. Presents were exchanged by the Sophies , who had drawn names a few days before. I hey also sent their heart sisters and brothers gifts during the week. I wonder who sent me this. This question was running through their minds until Friday when the sender s name was revealed. As the old quotation goes: A good time was had by all. The class holds an accumulation of future farmers, music lovers, and just plain pupils. Norma Hupach. president. Ruth Eade. vice-president. Anna Mac St. C.lair. secretary and treasurer. and Miss Greer, advisor, acted as boosters to these wise sophomores. The I1) 4 5 Reflector 19
