JUJVMOR CLASS The Junior Class found the year to be one of increased reponsihility. The Yearbook and the Jun- ior Prom required many long hours of work. Many dances were sponsored in order to raise money to support the Prom. Co-operation on the part of all the members of the class made the undertakings a succ( ' ss. One of the things of which the class c an be proud was record attendance at class meetings. Members of the class held responsible positions in most of the organizations on campus. Although the rivalry between the class of ’.57 and ,5 ‘! ceased, the Juniors acted as advisors to the freshmen, hven though the Jutdors were standing on tin; sidelines during the Relays and Ro|)e Pull, their spirit was still evident. Ihc curriculum becaitie more specializ(‘d. Juniors had rnor(; ojjportunities to select electives and to locus their attention on proh ssional subjects. Manv had time to gain actual ex|jerience in their future profession. As tin- final ear of college approaches, the Jiitdor (dass looks forward to re|)iesenting .Springfield f.ollege in the best possible; manner.
