FJ REMEMBERI G o R PALS, THE JU ICRG I The class of '49 started their junior year of the Atomic Era with a big BANG-Yes, we're speaking of their stupendous production, Gabriel, Blow Your Horn. This play about easy-going people was really representative of the care-f ree nature of all the Juniors. T This class with all the pep and vigor of a football team immediately plunged into their next triumph- The Mardi Gras. Their Junior Dance stirred up the French blood in us all with the gay music' of the Cathedral High School Swing Band and the brightly colored balloons floating from the crepegpaper ceiling at an unexpected moment. Besides making a fortune on their play, the Juniors soon became candy kings and sold candy and ice cream, making a profit of sixty dollars. The governing council of the school has four Juniors giving forth with brilliant ideasjjack Mayhugh, who is Sergeant-at-Arms, and Louie Senter represent the Junior Class in the Student Council. Lucius Pom- peius Vincens fPat Thompson to those of you who do not speak the languagej represents ourg only foreigners in the school. members of the Latin Club. As representative of the F.B.L.A., Marilyn Sea 'les brings that Club's plans before the Council. I In the glamour department the Junior Class has three high-stepping majorettes. Evelyn utphin, Norma Sauer. and Charlene Stevens strut before the band, helping to win honors for our school. The Juniors also have eight other band students who have talent in this musical line. The Juniors have twenty-three canary- throated voices in the High School Choir. They comprise almost Hfty per cent of this gifted organization of singers. Several of this group helped bring home first division awards from the District and,State Solo and Ensemble Contests. junior Choristers who lend their melodious voices to the group of Madrigal Singers are: Marilyn Farley and Hobby Owings, altos: Marilyn Searles, sopranog Jim Martin and Dick Anderson, tenors. . This class proves its versatility by being represented in every school club. As president of the Dramatic Club. Norma Sauer with Junior officers, Pat Thompson, treasurer, and Charlene Stevens, secretary, and other members of the club. presented for the student's entertainment Christmas in Her Eyes. Pat is also secretary of the F .l3.l...'X. In the Homemaking Department Marilyn Farley is vice president- of the Fl-LA. Chapter: Barbara Morgan is Parliamentarian Cexpert on rules to those who aren't up on the latest lingoj and Nancy Frosch is Recorder. Susie Pearce is well-known for her radio speaking voicel in the Debate Club. She has won several honors for the school as well as for herself. Norma Sauer. a veteran cheer leader for four years, really does her part in cheering the teams on to victory. Since Pat Bender and Louie Senter are on the office force. running errands, the Juniors have first hand information on all school affairs. The juniors boast nine gridiron heroes without whom Speedway's atomic football team ,could not have placed nmnber one in the County. On the varsity basketball team five of the Junior fellows helped place laur- els at Speedway's feet as the Sparkplugs started 1948 by winning the title of County Champs in the Hoosier hysteria. basketball. Also three players, who are likely to be future stars, are sporting their athletic ability on the second string. Dick Hartley. also a junior, is the track team's shot-put man. Even though the juniors joked that they would serve the Seniors cokes in Cramer's basement, they did a bang-up job on their Junior-Senior Reception. They worked like jet propulsion and soon had the Seniors way up on the roof of the Severin Hotel, dining and dancing on the terrace. The Juniors engaged a super band forthe musical part of this all-important evening when all girls are beautiful and gracious and all fellows a1'e handsome and charming. ' VV ith Hill Long as their competent president and Mr. Trosky their sponsor, the Juniors had big plans for their next to most important year. From their entertaining play in October to their elegant banquet and dreamy dance at the Junior-Senior Reception in May, the Juniors had what anyone would call a really wonderful year. Only those who are members of this outstanding class know how much fun they had during their junior year at Speedway High School.
