These eleventh grade students will be eligible to enter their final year in secondary school this com- ing fall. They have been upperclassmen during the past year and will be glad to assume the responsibil- ities of seniors. Many of the juniors feel that their participation in extra-curricular activities has help- ed them in numerous ways. It has instilled in them a respect for scholarship, clean speech, service and good character. They have left a good record which really provides a second challenge to them for the coming year. First, they must equal the record of this year’s sen- ior class, and second, they must maintain the high standards such as they, themselves, set ' this year. Nineteen

Eleventh Grade We can but hit a few of the high spots in the space alloted to the junior class members of this present — and almost past — school year. The prin- cipal organization in which the junior girls partici- pate is the Warrenette Club whose activities are many, varied, and worthwhile. The Hi-Y Club for sophomore, junior, and senior boys has nineteen junior members. The boys are voted into the club by its members. Seven juniors were chosen for the National Honor Society: Lois Armstrong, Alice Springer, Bill Gale, Myron Dill, Junior . Perkins, Evelyn Masterson, and David Middleton. In athletics the juniors are a very necessary part of the basketball, football, and track squads. Junior Perkins, Millard Applegate, Richard Fulk, Carl Lim- bach, Tom Keyt, and Fred Johnson played on the varsity basketball team. Earl Overbeck, Tom Keyt, Fred Johnson, Richard Fulk, Bill Lewis, Russel Simpson, and John Washmuth played on the first string football team. Fred Johnson, John Washmuth, Charles Kemp, Junior Perkins, Ivan Roney, Robert Applegate, Earl Overbeck and Richard Fulk were on the track squad. Many juniors are members of the band, orchestra, and senior chorus. Two junior girls, Jean Witte and Dorothy Brown, sang leading songs in the opera “Martha”. There are several junior teacher assistants and monitors. Two juniors were members of the debate team: Bill Gale, and Charles Kemp; and four juniors are members of the Owl staff. They are: Lois Armstrong Virginia Lucas, Jane Featherstone, and Bruce Stroud. Eighteen

SENIOR PRODUCTION 1941 The Senior Class of 1941 presented a new version of the traditional senior entertainment. Their pro- duction “Anything Can Happen” included many types of acts, from Donald Duck to a fake Count Mudslinski, from jitterbugs to the minuet, from modern jives to perennial favorites. Presented on Friday evening, March 7, the all senior production was well received by a crowd which broke all records of the school in the entertainment field. With this crowd, approximated at 1500 persons ovei $200 was cleared on the production. Finances, not ordinarily stressed, were most notable on this oocas - ion. The production included many more things. Aftei the introduction of the show chairman, Miss Jean Walter, and the members of the senior council, it was a musical comedy that got the show underway, with a count, a lovely young girl, a pickle sales- man and a maiden aunt. The second act, planned distinctly and uniquely patriotic, presented the thrill and glory of being an American, Miss Liberty with her flaming torch, Uncle Sam, and the stirring words and music of “America, 1 Love You” The College Inn act included something to please .everyone. Comedians, jitterbugs, blues, and with- out it it wouldn’t be college, the “green freshmen”. Dancers, serenading, soft lights and sweet music. And the poor magician was “fouled again” when the -fact was disclosed that it took a girl to make a soprano of the vocalist, Don Crooke. The swing band had what it took to make the -scene complete, made up of students it added life and glamour to it all — the trios, ballet tap . . . . , • g! Twenty
