Junior Class The Big project for the Juniors this year was the annual Junior-Senior Prom. It was their responsibility to plan and finance the festivities. A capable and efficient J. S. committee did the planning and the class sponsored Sunlight Hops in Shevlin frequently. They provided fun and dancing for all and helped a lot towards financing the dance which was held in Coffman Memorial Union on May third. It will be remembered as one of the best ever held. The Junior boys played an important part in school athletics this year. The school is proud of its Junior lettermen. Several classmen served creditably and faithfully in football, basketball, track, and baseball.
