L7Tic Jti- d ?ct$ Vol. XIX—No. 20 Jack Riverman Top Salesman In Curtis Sales Magazine sales competition this year was between classes and in classes between the boys and girls. The freshmen headed the list, next the juniors, then seniors and lastly sophomores. Jack Riverman was top salesman and was awarded a Philco radio. The school topped its $2,000 quota by $175 and the money thus earned will be used to build grandstand bleachers and a fence for the athletic field. Jean I Rules At Junior Prom Queen Jean I (Todd) reigned over this year’s junior prom with Rachel Steele, La Vonnc Weston, Evelyn Hoggatt and Grace Binkclc as her court. The theme, “Begin the Bcguine”, lent itself to decorations of palm leaves and trees, colorful parrots, paintings of native villages, and the rhythms of Van Armitagc and his orchestra. The senior class was invited free, a tradition that might be well worth establishing for future senior classes. Junior Class Wins S. B.
