Junior Officers . . . Mar o Voich. President: Hetty Dumbsky, Treasurer: James Turpin. Vice-President: Paul Bohney. Secretary. On September 7, 191-4. Dyer greeted our new class of 84 freshmen. Being quite shy, and unaware of the present happenings, we pleaded with Miss Hruskovich to please help us “get acquainted”. She did. and about a week later our class was organized and the following officers were elected: Billy James, president; Eugene Little, vice-president; Norma Stark, secretary; and Robert Miller, treasurer. The white carnation was chosen to be the class flower, and “Dim. but growing brighter”, our motto. In accordance with that familiar phrase, “Green Freshmen”, Kelley green and white were chosen to be the class colors. Evelyn Britton and Eugene Little reigned as king and queen of the year. Amid all the fun, there were also those rugged days as any freshie will find out, such as: initiation, those first dancing lessons, and the “unwanted” trips to the office. We closed the glorious freshie year by having a class party. More fun!!! I’ll never tell!!!??? After a three month hibernation, we find the class back at school At a class meeting these people were chosen to lead the class: Albert Ramsey, president; Marco Voich. vice-president; Jacqueline Hauer, secretary; and Jim Turpin, treasurer; Our first project was to get our sweaters and when they came . . . OH, BOY! We must not forget that our sophomore boys won the inter-class softball tourna- Page Twenty-six ments and that Carol Smih and Albert Ramsey nobly won the honor of being king and queen of our class. Then, preparing for our Junior year, we ordered our rings. Will September ever come? ? ? Now. feeling quite capable of accepting the responsibilities of a good Junior class, we decided again, as usual, to elect new officers. They are: Marco Voich. presiding as Big Chief; Jim Turpin, his able assistant; while Paul Bohney was chosen to be the Pencil Pusher, and Betty Dumbsky as Money Stacker . . . sure, we have so much of it. A month later a kind mailman brought our class rings! And they’re really nifty! W’e just can’t overlook the work done by the boys’ and girls’ softball teams. They made it a dual victory by winning both inter-class tournaments. The Junior-Senior banquet was held at Lake Hills Country Club on March 27. The money for this and the prom, which is '.o be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Gary, May 2, was obtained through candv sales, sock hops, and pennant sales. All in all. the Junior Class had a very successful year, and, upon returning as Seniors we shall try to do as well with the Echo and other activities. Until then . . . Bye!
