The Junior Class was the first class to gain 10014. in both the Parent-- Teacher Association membership drive and the Athletic Association drive. They had two successful parties- one a Hallowe'en Party and the other a Junior-Senior Prom, held in honor of the Seniors. Both went over big. This year the Junior girls played an important part in athletics, having won first place in basketball over the other class teams. Five Junior boys were Varsity men and ithe Junior Boys' class team seems to have been quite successful. . , and Norman Wilkinson for the Sopho- more boys' team. The Sophomore Class presented a play in the High School Follies, en- titled, Uncle Dick's Mistake . Those who participated in the play were: Robert Bostley, Josephine Coder, Ralph Weiss, Ruth Tietbohl, and Karl Mattil. It was very much enjoyed by the spectators. The Sophomore Class also held a Flag contest in which every Sopho- more participated. Each one was to answer seventy-five questions and and write an essay on Old Clory's Greatest Glory. The winners were Iva Ziefle for the girls and John Bush for the boys. The Junior class rings were ordered from the L. G. Balfour Company and all were Very much pleased with them. The Junior act in the High School Follies was a humorous dialogue, The First Quarrel , presented by Betty Dunlap and Bailey Russell. The Juniors were well represented in the orchestra, Glee Club and various other school activities. The last Junior function will be the banquet which will be held after the Junior play, Who Wouldn't Be Crazy ?

BLUE AND WHITE 1 f - - - o THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized in 1927 for the purpose of acting as an advisory' council for the extra- curricular activities of the high School.
