CLAII HIITODY Columbus discovered America in 1492 but in 1943 this jovial class of juniors timidly entered another long, hard strugg le similar to the one they had undergone eight years before. My how time flies. Our class officers john Lucas, james Bowden, jean Mertz, and William liellner were elected as Dresident, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. As the boys were Very shy and bashful, o-urparties were quite dull. Then in May we surely were proud when Geraldine Bricks-1 and Louise Turchaii added their beauty to the May Queen's Court. These two girls were also chosen as outr peppy cheerleaders. In interclass activities we were in the cellar-- but then in our Sophomore year things took a better turn. JUNIOR BOYS First Row:-B.

CLAII HIITDIQY We were no longer Greenies but Softies. That year as class officers We elected james Bowden as president, Theodore Surmacz as vice-president an-d William Kellner as secretary and treasurer. Our parties began to have some zip for the boys were getting over their shyness. They were also the interclass Basketball Champs that year which made us very proud. That was the year Jo Ann Miller and Karlyn johnson marched up the aisle adding their beaiuty to the May Crowning which was quite acolor- ful affair. Oh my, I almost forgot to mention Ask the Professor, an operetta Mr. Darr directed before he was drafted into the Army. The fol- lowing junior girls participated in it: jean Mertz, Evelyn Myers, Lois Johnston, Charlotte Whitaker, Beulah Sarbo, and Alice Schaab. Now guess what happened??? ----- We became those jovial Juniors. The brass ha.ts this year were Theodore S-urinaicz as preslident, ruling with an iron hand, William Kellner as vice-president, Karlyn johnson and Melvin Buchin as secretary and treasurer respectively. So far they have done done their job well in serving their fellow classmates. The pa.rties we have had were successful as the junior boys cllimbed another rung on the ladder toward becoming wolves Our class play A Ready Made Family under the direction of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Stark was a great success. jean Mertz, jo Ann Miller, Lois Loutsenhizer, jean Corcoran, Karlyn Johnson, Dona Furimsky, john Hartley, Leonard Golick, Harold Behe, and Theo- dore Surmacz, were our excellent actors. One of our active classmates, James Bowden, P joined the Army Ai.r Forces and the junior class cooperated in buying him a parting gift. He is now stationed a.t Scott Field, Illinois. In interclass Basketball the boys slumped badly because four of their star players were chosen for the Varsity Team. They were Charles Glass, Leonard, Go'ick Frank Lawren- ce, and William Kellner. Oh yes, there a.re quite a niumber of Junior Girls on Mr. Schrock's Varsity and they ha.ve done very we-ll under his excellent coaching. The following are Jean Mertz, Mary Lou Morocco, and Dorothy Shope. the guards are Louise Turchian, Jo Ann Miller, and Dona Furimsky. The Junior girls, who playezd in the interclass Basketball games, came in second place. This year Mary Lou Morocco and jean Mertz were chosen to represent the Junior class in the May Queen Crowning. We are sure they will do us justice. Also in May the.re will be a Junior and Senior Prom which Everyone is look1ing forward to since there is going to be a class banquet. Right now the boys are busy inviting their girl friends to accompany them. At the beginning of the year Mrs. Ference started a Mixed Chorus composed of seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. The juniors are jean Mertz, Margie Fundis, Mary Lou Morocco, Evelyn Myers, Eva Todaro, Dorothy Shope, Caryln Todaro, Jean Corcoran, Geraldine Brickel, Charl- otte Whitaker, Philamena Vaocaro. Virginia Patrick, Louise Loutsenhizer, Jo Ann Miller, Beulah Sarbo, Louise Tiurchan, Betty McCullv, and Alice Schaab, Mr. Darr was released from the Army and took the Mixed Chorus over the latter part of the year. There is one thing we have to say for the Senior year, that is, Girls, Beware of Boys!! 25
