THE TOTEM 1939 .IIIIIIOHS FIRE PR0ll1-Il'lEI'lT By Pl-IYLLIS HAYNER Again another class of students has passed the junior milestone in its high school career, and en- tered into the beginning of the most joyful year of all. These students have entered their junior year under the capable leadership of Miss Hazel Miller and Mr. Lloyd Whelan, the advisers for the class of '40. They chose their student leaders from among the very best. With James Murphy, president, Tom Crallmeyer, vice-president, Ella Jo Reed, secretary, Bruce Bradbury, Doris Dickmeyer, and Jeanne Gumpper, social councilmen, they have made their junior class one to be long remembered or may we say the uJunior Class of Junior Classes. As every student who enters and passes from the Junior class realizes that the Junior Banquet and Prom are the two 1T1OSf outstanding activities in his junior year, each class tries to make them show their very best work. Approximately one hundred fifty juniors attended the Campus Craze , the Junior Banquet of all junior banquets. Every part of the banquet lived up to the predictions of a great time and fine food. Doris Dickmeyer led the community singing, and Richard Gerig accompanied the group singing. Toastmaster Jim Murphy introduced the speakers. l'lis talk was entitled The Kickoff, Tom Gallmeyer further carried out the collegiate theme by speaking on The First Down, and Superintendent Merle Abbett told of the Goal of Future Life. Miss Pit- tenger told of the two kinds of headlines, stating that we may be in the headlines of life in future years. Jayne Knoche on the marimba played a num- ber of popular songs. Tickling the Ivoriesw was the piano solo of Virginia Fleming. Highlight of the banquet was The Fumble, a playlet written and presented by Bill Reithmiller and Bruce Klotz. The play entitled The Fatal Quest, or Who Panhandled the Pigskin, was cleverly given with gestures by the playwrights. Mr. Snider, the coach of the affair, gave some ad- vice for future college students. I-Iollywood has her Fred Astaire, New York her Bill Robinson, but only South Side has her Fred Walker. So went the words of the toastmaster when he introduced the famous tap dancer of the juniors. Last on the pro- gram was Ella Jo Reed, who gave in poetic verse the class prophecy. Nlural decorations consisted of collegiate wearing apparel, such as bushcoats, saddle oxfords, freshman caps, charm bracelets, and articles pertaining to col- First Row: Robert Allen, Emilou Allenclorph, Dale Amstutz, Dorothy Amstutz, Wfilliam Anspaugh, Dick Aronhalr, Alex Azar, Billie Lou Beaver, John Becker, Helen Beery, Rena Bennett.

The Minuet in Blue, theme for the Junior Prom, proved to be one of the most outstanding events of the year. The color-scheme was carried out entirely in blue and white. Upon entering the room, one passed through an old-fashioned white lattice gate. At the further end was a little white-washed well, and around the walls were white silhouettes depicting old southern scenes, one of the wall silhouettes be- ing a huge white colonial house. Dangling from the programs were old-fashioned parasols in blue and edged in white lace. The orchestra pit was banked with blue vases filled with plume grass.
