With luck we should graduate next year. Meanwhile let's survey our past junior year. To start the year right the traditional junior pencils arrived on time and sold very well. In keeping with the green-and-white of their pencils, the class chose forest green-and-white sweaters after a close vote. N Members of the junior class made up a major part of this year's varsity football squad and a good share ol I K3 the basketball squad. We were also well-represented' on R K j the track team and should prove a credit in athletics to X X t N Q Sycohi during our senior year. The G. A. A., Pep Club, ' Spartan Club, music department, and other organizations were well-fortified with juniors. Three regular major- ettes, two cheerleaders, and one regular Hag twirler were juniorsg many of the leading roles in the operetta were played by members of our class. r-t . 4.

uniora Class Officers Seated: Dorothy King, Treasurer, Clifford Ells, President: Miss Hul- bert, Advisor Standing: Donald Gustafson, Secretary: James Potter, Vice-president During the last semester of this year the usual percentage of juniors was elected to the National Honor Society. This and the honor roll established this year are the first opportunities we have had for scholastic recognition, and again a good percentage of juniors made the grade. Of course the main social event of the year was the junior-Senior Prom. Funds to cover expenses were raised hy the sale of the pencils, concessions at games, and profits from the candy machine. The decoration and entertain- ment committees did particularly fine work, helping greatly in the success of the prom. Class officers this year were: Clifford Ells, presidentg jim Potter, vice-presidentg Don Gustafson, secretary: and Dorothy King, treasurer. Our class sponsor was Miss Hulbert. With the completion of final examinations the class of '47 brought their junior year to a close, leaving a rec- ord not easily equalled, and looking forward to'a hright future as seniors. f lst Row: Milton Westlake, Stanley Racich, Clayton McCue, James Patterson, Herbert Renwick, Donald Stearns, Rex Morrison, Dick Smith 2nd Row: Louise Woodward, Betty Sloniker, Marilyn Lloyd, Elsie Nimerfroh, Chester Wig, Robert Westberg, Jeanne Smith, Esther Strong, Mary Taylor 3rd Row: Donald Tedford, Stuart Nelson, Howard Scott, Joy Nieborgall, Audrey McCullah, Donna Wisted, Dolores Meier, Merle Swedberg, Robert Wallace, James Potter 4th Row: Lo Vern London, Grayce Stroud, Elise Singer, Rose Rickard, James Schwab, Lester Wolfe, Grace Lindquist, Lillian Singleton, Velma McMillan, Marion Lindgren, Margaret Morgan .
