A great number of Juniors took part in activities of various sorts. They are as follows: Roger Edwards, Fred Gratzer, Lee Benton, Clyde Ward, Russell Frank, Harold Morgan, and James Spencer achieved honor in football. At the annual football banquet, Fred Gratzer was elected football captain for the next year. Jack Geiger and Clyde Ward are of basketball fame, while Marion Purvis and Phyllis Giefer played on the girls basketball team that narrowly missed the county championship. Vanessa Myers and Rex Weick had principal parts in the operetta Lelawala, while a great many other Juniors were in the chorus. Peggy Orton and Jayne Goodman took part in the tennis tournament. In the boys' band were Charles Clark, Paul McKenny, Julius Grimes, and Irvin Fowler, and in the saxophone band were Martha Somerville, Julius Grimes and Charles Clark. Marion Purvis represented Sumner in humorous declamation, taking second place in this event. Peggy Orton served as secretary of the Associated Student Body. Marion Purvis was secretary of the Girls' Club, while Genevieve Homer represented the class on the cabinet. Gladys Livesley was historian. The Class of ,29 sponsored the annual basketball dinner, which proved an en- joyable affair. Vernita Bounds was chairman of the decoration committee and Martha Somerville chairman of the dinner committee. The largest class project of the year was the Junior Prom, given April 13 in Spencer's Hall, under the guidance of Margaret Orton, general chairman. Fred Gratzer was chairman of the general committee, Vernita Bounds of the invitation committee, Ethel Storey, decorations chairman and Vanessa Myers, chairman of the refreshment committee. Featuring a Springtime motif, the committee used wisteria and fresh cherry blossoms to hide the ceiling. Twisted crepe paper and lattice-work entwined with flowers almost covered the walls. As the Juniors made a fair profit on the dance, the affair was a financial, as well as a social, success. Four Juniors cried their hands in high school journalism, working on Tyee Wah Wa. Jayne Goodman and Margaret Orton were advertising assistants the first semester, and Orville Danforth and Doris Williams were reporters. Margaret Orton was news editor, Jayne Goodman, circulation manager, and Orville Danforth, a reporter, the second semester. As associate editor of The Spartan, Margaret Orton managed the subscription campaign. Jayne Goodman had charge of the section on musical activities, while Irvin Fowler and Fred Weber were the assistant advertising managers. Judging from the achievements of the past year, the Class of '29 should prove an excellent Senior Class next year. Twenty-seven
