In the tenth grade we started with only 2l . members because G. Cooper did not return. During the year we lost four more: G. Summer-field, A. Mnlcuit, M. Stratton, und C. Long making our number 21. Ou officers were: P. Saltzgaber, pres., Erma Green, V. pres., E. Summer-field, Sec.-Treas., with Miss Ash acting os Adviser. Our Presh-Soph party was held during the earlier part of the year ct the Gym. We had two other parties, a skating one r.t Battle Creek and a picnic at Ppul's When school called in 193 4- only 19 Juniors answered the roll call. The name of Wayne Alldnffer was not even mentioned. Lynon Pox left later. These students were soon replaced by Isabelle Bowling and Harri The first business of importance was the election of officers under the supervision of our new Adviser, Mr. Stroud. These people were elected: President, Lew McElhenie, V. Pres., Scott Rr.nda.il, Sec-Ida May, and Trees., Err.ia Green. As each clns3 is allowed one party a semester, we Juniors proceeded to take advantage of this opportunity not long after we had been in school. A class meeting was held, suggestions obtained, votes counted, and soon the Garden theatre at Marshall was thronged with worthy Juniors who had gone to sec, The Captain Hrtes the Sea One of the two main events of the new year, 1935, was the stag-ing of the Junior play, When Sally Comes to Town , under the direction of Mr. Charles Canfield. The proceeds of the plry, $30.00, proved that the efforts of the class were well rewarded. As this is being written the seniors are anxiously waiting for the Junior-Senior Prom to be given in their honor. The Juniors have •pfomised that they will serve everything in the way of a. good time so that this memorable event will live long in the diaries of those attending. The Coldwnter Country Club promises to occupy all of the Promenaders, and we shed a silent tear for those who will not be present to see the great pageant of youth, grace, and beauty, that will move to the strains of Ray Wilder's orchestra on MPy 31st.
