Although we wished to keep our class at this num- ber, by March we were minus Cecilia Buckley, Martina Pemberton, and Lorrain Dean. The third week of school we elected our class officers: Mildred Overman, President: Betty Shankie, Vice-president: Rosemary Bette, Secretary: and Mary Francis, Treasurer. They had a big job set beflre them immediately by preparing for the Juniors' initiation, for now it was our turn to dress up the Juniors. And through the cloperation on the part of everybody, we were able to give them a splendid party.
