SesuxVi Hall The members of the Class of 1943 now serving in the Armed Forces reigned, if not in person, at least in spirit, over the Senior Ball which, as one of the few formal dances in a war year, was held at the Hotel Whiting on December 19. The keynote of decorations was a poster bearing the names of members in the service. The climax of the evening came when the Senior class president, Myron Sharkey, and his companion. Rose Marie Howes, led the grand march. They were followed by James Kulidas, general chairman of the affair, who escorted Patty Markee. The receiving line was made up of the students mentioned above with President and Mrs. William C. Hansen, Dean and Mrs. Herbert Steiner, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Evans, Dean Elizabeth Pfiffner, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schmeekle. The publicity was handled by Don Kordus, Alva Thompson, Glendy Chapin and Tom Wish-linski. Bob Rifleman, Ken Brenner. Catherine Dineen and Leon Kalkofen took charge of programs, while the job of handling invitations was done nicely by Patty Markee, Fern Schneider. Anne Zimmerman and Frank Dakins. 27

O. Radke V. Clark J. Thompson J. Swett President Treasurer Secretary Vice-President HiMU l GlaH, Although the ranks of the Junior Class have become smaller and smaller since two years ago when they were that outstanding Freshman Class, they still have many bright lights keeping up the good work of the class. However, we know that most of these people who have left their class have gone on to be bright lights in the great victory school. They are striving to save our own and other schools, so that we may have academic freedom always. Some of our outstanding Juniors, even though they were not here to finish out the school year, did many things to make us very proud of them. On the gridiron the Juniors were well represented. Some of these, our football heroes, are Jay Swett, Bob Schunk. Fred Fink and Jerome Brecht. In basketball we have outstanding Juniors too, such as Jack Rasmussen. Edwin Szy-manski, Orland Radke and Jim Sullivan. The Junior girls too are well represented in the Girls Glee club. Some of the songsters are Jan Thompson, Ruth Michelsen, Gladys Pils, Marie Wipperfurth, Etta Louise Owen. Helen Rasmussen. Ruth Thompson, Lettie Got-chy, Ruth Lindsay, Carol Ockerlander, Eileen Kobs and Brigetta Fleischman. Other outstanding musicians are Neosha Stay, John Edwards, Ruth Chrouser, Charles Larsen, Jack Rasmussen and Betty June Frost. On the stage the Juniors were exceptionally prominent. Lillian LaMarche, Bob Handeyside, Charles Wildermuth and Dan Durkee are a few who helped to put on some grand performances this year. Not to be outdone in athletics by the boys, we have many Junior girls taking part in a variety of sports — Alice Grube, Gladys Pils, Kitty Kelly, Bunny Glisczinski, Gen Smith, Lois Bauernfeind and Mae Hoffman. As for publications, the Juniors have really done a splendid job—Fred Fink started his work as editor of the Iris, and the work was ably carried on by Violet Joyce, after Fred's call to service. The Pointer staff boasts of many Juniors. Gladys Pils, Marjorie Prey, Jackie Stauber, Jan Thompson, Virginia Clark, Dave Hennick and Bob Handeyside helped to put out the 20
