We have set as our goal a trip in our Senior year, and our sponsors have co-operated fully in helping accomplish many things towards this goal. Some of the many activities undertaken during the year were the selling of candy at basketball games, dances after the games, and the presentation of a most s entertaining Junior Play. Our class •C Jlas supplied the school and the ath letic field with good material in the £ ast and hopes to do its best in bring- the ?ar.

I J HOP € 36 The beautifully decorated gymnas¬ ium was the scene of the annual J-BIop on May 21. It will remain in our memories as one of the largest and most delightful parties in recent years. The scheme of decorations was dis¬ tinctly modernistic with a dark blue ceiling of crepe paper streamers, while suspended from the ceiling a huge crystal hall twinkled and shone as lights played on it. The walls were lined with silhouettes of dancing fig¬ ures done in silver and black. Jars of ferns and fresh greenery added a springtime touch. The music for the occasion was fur¬ nished by George King and his band of nine pieces, from Elkhart. The grand march was led by Richard Free¬ man, president of the Junior class and Miss Vara Judd, and by Robert Brum¬ baugh, president of the Senior class, and Miss Theoda Stoeckle. Mrs. E. C. Seitz and Mr. Robert Starring of the faculty, who were the class sponsors and advisors for the evening, super¬ vised the very clever arrangements that made this social event outstand¬ ing. The modernistic mode was carried out in the design for the programs. Dainty handkerchiefs were favors for the girls. A few of those who worked with the sponsors were the Junior President, Richard Freeman, William Bryan, Chairman of the decorating commit¬ tee with Susanna McBride, Zelma Mc¬ Bride, Betty Mamroe, John Morton, and Kenneth Colbert as assistants; Kathleen Kahmann, Martha Sarris and Vara Judd, programs and fav¬ ors; Coral Hubner, chairman of re¬ freshment committee; and June Mary Gilbert, chairman of the ticket com¬ mittee. 25 s
