Ardell Nelson Maude Nelson Douglas Richards Richard Roberts had the initiative and foresight to decorate the ballroom. It was done nicely, too, with the Valentine motif carried out to the nth degree. Besides this, there was also a small specialty program arranged, Which was car- ried out in a most gratifying manner. Among the performers tall studentl were Dusty Rhodes, our favorite drummer boy from Pennyslvania. He made Gene Krupa look as if he had rheumatism. Lucky, Pearson and Ellen Mae Carlson sang a few songs. Ellen Mae was especially good in Professor John Almquist,s own number th0, Go Your Way? Another feature of this gala occasion was a Baton Dance. This event was won by little Margo Hyde, whols so small that she had to be lifted up so she could speak into the microphone. tNo, she isn,t ten years oldJ All in all, the dance was one of the best given by a Junior class in a very long time, and we Juniors deserve a little credit. Seventy-two Marjorie Nicol Thomas Rommer Evert Peterson Sidney Rothbard tEven if we have to ask for itJ The rest of our time was taken up by sorority and fraternity meetings and other miscellaneous items. We presented a very educational program in Chapel this winter. It was Jack Meredith and his Quiz Kids: boys like Degler, Zelnick, Szamek, and Schwartz. The prizes for the winners were not so spec- tacular but who cares, it was good fun. One other significant feat of the winter was the hnding of our treasury. After look- ing halfway across the continent tSt. Paul, Minnesota, you see, our last treasurer came from the W650, we finally discovered it. It wasnlt bulging. As Juniors we got along teducationallyy on whatever laurels re- mained from our Sophomore yeareso most of us suffered. Exam week caught us flat- footed and Spring Week took all our money. We were disillusioned. Nevertheless, we look forward to our Senior year. Paul Peterson Edna Sandhop

Fall came as usual, and most of us were back at the old stamping ground, our campus. A few were missing, but most of the old standbys showed up. Everyone tells us that the Junior year is fine except for the required courses, and we believe them. The year before, our Sophomore year, we had elected our class othcers. We were ready to start the year off with a bang, led by Art Frieberg, our genial and efficient President. However, by this time all Juniors had come to the conclusion that class meetings and the like were simply for class officers; class dues were to be paid when the Treasurer caught you; Sophomores act sophomoric, and classes are excellent places to catch up on lost sleep. Psychologically speaking a Junior is an ex- cellent example of introversion. However, Matthew Kurtz John Meredith Leonard Larson Paul Laurell Esther Mesce William Mullen our Junior year is the busiest of all. Many Seniors donit think so, but we,ll not argue the point. Not that welre conceited, but be- cause facts are facts we have to say that a check-up of the roster of extra-curricular organizations revealed the Juniors as the pre- dominating Class 010, we donlt do much studyingl. After a steady diet of meetings that were wholly unproductive, the class finally ap- pointed the committee for the Junior Prom. This is an important committee because this dance is one of the outstanding social events of the school calendar. Ellen Mae Carlson was appointed chairman. Plans were formu- lated, and finally the night came. Everyone traveled to the Montclair Athletic Club, a beautiful sporting rendezvous in Montclair, New Jersey. When they entered the ball- room all were surprised. Why? Because for the first time in many a year the Junior class Srventy-one
