The co-operative spirit of the class was rooted deeply in the heart of each girl: and in her mind a place for coming attractions: in her heart a place aside for that love of fellow-pal that God so lovingly gave her. The tide of school days was high, and each lau ched out into the deep to put into her year, that peace and love which is Christ. One outstanding feature the year brought was 'Club '52 . All the attractions of a Fifth Avenue club: orchestras, dining and dancing and vocalist in person. Immense care was taken as Christmas was around the corner, and Santa was on his way. We Juniors went caroling and finished the evening at the new home of Gwen Reeder with the exchange of gifts, the serving of refreshments and dancing. The preparation for the pageant and the dear feast of Christmas was joyously welcome to the heart of each Junior. It was well worth its time and money. It was marked by our first radio broadcast on KNIM. The calamity pertaining to the Junior division of the Christmas Pageant was the loss of Esther Si.c1cman's shoes. 'Poor girl U! She couldn't,f1nd her shoes! So diligently she implored the assistance of the remainder of the Junior Claes in an attempt to find her shoes before the said time of the practice period. 'May I wear your shoes, Carol?', said Esther. Yes, if you can get into them,' she replied. Bunco was a top-hit in the evening relaxation of a Sunday well spent. Candy was distributed and games followed. Soon a vacation rolled around and in her excitement Miss Jurgensmeyer picusly powdered herself with 'Brush your teeth with Colgates P' They should have her in their advertising department. Our serene little Ju ior from Glasgow, Dorothy Korte, is loved by all her junior classmates. Her punctual assistance is an example to all of us. Named as the 20th century chemist of the year, Gwen Reeder is deeply fond of that subject. Keep on, Gwen, 'where there is a will there is a way.' Well, we can say that there is another Abe Lincoln as far as physics is con- cerned---'Yes, Lois Lesmeister, we're talking about you. But, Louie, 1t's a virtue to be tall. Betty Lou Meyer, better known to her pals as, 'Lizzie' seems to be going through her books for a scholarship. 'Nice going, Lizzie, keep it up 3' A little girl from Joplin is Jean Hogan. Beautiful personality and always getting along fine with others. ' . ---mmmm'. A lovable personality from Montrose, Missouri, is Joan Tenholder. She and- shorthand don't get along but we can't say that as to her relationship with her class-pals as well as with others. Mary lllen Brown who began to sacrifice her education at the middle term of the year to assist her sick mother, will always remain as a pal of our class. So--are the Characters and History of the Junior Class during the year. And so to close all that can be said is: 'To a ggi QQLQ 9121! and to those who tried to make us think, we, the Juniors of 1950-51 give a deep and loving gratitude for all that they have done.'
