The junior year-it seemed impossible, but there we were sponsoring our junior Prom. After weeks of cutting tdoes every class experience that frantic search for scissors?Q, coloring, and stretching crepe paper, we created a lovely South American atmosphere with awnings, palm trees, and those sleepy Spanish figures Ca Chase specialj. Alan Hale and his orchestra provided the music. The evening was a great success. And then we were seniors. About this time teachers began leaving right and left to join the armed services-surely we could expect nothing different. The Snow Ball, the senior dance, was as fascinating as its name. NVe ran it night-club style with tables at which to sit when not dancing and with refreshments served at the tables. The all-senior basketball team held the splendid record of going undefeated until the fateful end. This record included a thrillingly close game with the senior girls, in which the boys barely won by 103 points. On Friday nights, when there were no games, the townis organizations put on various entertainments such as movies, dances and vaudeville shows. These lasted during the winter, then in March, we topped it off with our senior play, The Youngest, starring Frances Hall and Morris Shepard. Of course, we weren,t satisfied with an all-human cast tHerky, I did not mean you, I was referring to the cat and the dog.j Last, but by no means least, is our year book, a Etting record of the accomplishments of so great a class and a fitting way to close our twelve long years spent in the halls of learning in dear old Sharon.
