It was our first class play and one we shall always remember.This year Marcia Myers was elected Basketball Queen. we sponsored the first soc hop at W. G. H. S, We had Bill Baker from WIBC for our D. J, Our money-making schemes were a skating party, suppers and concessions at ball games, Halloween Festival, gas sale, and car wash. Not to be forgotten is the Christmas party at Melinda Hendry's home. Much of the credit for our accom- plishments must be given to our sponsors, Miss Bird and Mr. Bridge.
