ing this one of the outstanding money making projects of the year. Every member of the class participated. An old fashioned box lunch and square dance proved lots of fun. Although grand- mother may have enjoyed many of these, it was an entirely new experience for most of us. Next on the agenda was the most spectac- ular event of all our years combined, the Junior Prom, which was held on Friday, May 27, 1949, First Row: I'. L4-imln. S. Julinn, I.. Kinney, P. Krenmer. S.

The memories of this joyous oc- casion will remain with all those attending throughout many years to come. We are now looking forward to our senior year and hope we may all have as much fun and success as we have enjoyed this year. .me-mm, . vw. . ns- quini, ll. Stotfn, F. Richards. A. Vnnderveeu. C.

JUNIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE I CLASS OF '50 First Row: R. Carnali, treasurer, F. Edolo, R. Cook, president, J. Bennett, recording secretary, S. Harris, corresponding secretary. Second Row: C. Beam, D. Singley, J. McDonough, J. Jensen. Absent: Joe Lacey, vice-president. September arrived once again, bringing with it the opening of another school year. To the juniors it meant another step in the ladder of education, another step nearer to our goal. Since our class officers had been elected during the last part of our sophomore year, We were ready to start our activities without any delay. Executive committee members were elected from the three homerooms, and on Sep- tember seventeenth the executive committee held its first meeting. Miss Evelyn Stone, Miss Ruth Weller, and Miss Lucy Vaughan, our class advisors, were present to help and guide us in the numerous tasks which lay before us. With our Washington, D. C., trip in mind, ways and means of making money became one of our first and foremost problems. To our sur- prise about three hundred Washington Pins were turned over to us by the Class of 1949. This gift was greatly appreciated by the mem- bers of the Junior Class as this would mean a 10071 profit. The sale of these pins began at our first Pep Rally and continued throughout the football season. This was a class project and members were not given individual credit for those they sold. Q The next project was one of individual credit, the sale of attractive blue and white mechanical pencils, which had been ordered last year in order that they would be available for sale during the football season. Great enthus- iasm on the part of the pupils was again shown and a nice profit realized, thus helping to add to our treasury. Next came the question of class rings. Many lengthy discussions were held with some wanting to accept the ring chosen by last year's Senior Class and others objecting. Finally a decision was reached, and four salesmen were asked to meet with the executive committee so that they might choose the one they liked best from each company and present the four chosen to the entire Junior Class. This was done, and the one presented by the Kilbourne and Dono- hue Company was chosen as our class ring. Time dragged. We began to think our eagerly awaited rings would never come. On February 14, there was many a happy heart when we were notified that our rings had at last arrived. I am sure we could have wished for no better Valentine gift. In December, we again demonstrated our selling ability by disposing of a double order of delicious Dairy Maid Chocolate drops, the Christmas Candy eagerly awaited by many parents and friends of the class. As the desire to earn more money for our senior trip again aroused us, we planned to sell sandwiches, hot dogs, soda, cake, and coffee, at the District Wrestling matches which were held in the high school on Saturday, February 26. This was a class project and all members responded with great enthusiasm, for here they could foresee a large profit since the mem- bers of the class so graciously offered to donate everything needed. Several members of the class gave their time and spent the entire or part of the day preparing and selling food. Many mothers assisted in this enterprise, mak- -1261-,

I CLASS OF '51 SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE A. Marchese, presidentg M. Rossini, treasurerg D. Gross, vice-presi- dent, S. Montouri, recording secretaryg B. Teeter, corresponding secretary. The Sophomore Class has had a very active year. In late September the officers planned for and carried on the annual Soph-Frosh Frolic, at which event members and teachers of the sister classes got acquainted while having a good time playing games, dancing, and eating delicious refreshments. Joyce Damelio and Fred Sirianni, freshmen, were chosen by the judges as the Queen and King of Good Sports. They were crowned by Bernice Teeter, cor- responding secretary, and Donald Gross, vice- president of the class. Early in October the annual magazine sale was launched. The executive committee had decided to offer a prize to the salesman bring- ing in the greatest gross sales, and a drawing prize for which chances were given for every ten dollars' worth of subscriptions sold. The choice of prizes was a Zenith portable radio or a Rollfast bicycle. Everyone who tried received some individ- ual credit toward his senior trip. Eighteen sophomores received certificates of merit, a vocational award from the Curtis Publishing -'I 28 Company, for selling over thirty dollars' wortl of orders. The Board of Education homeroon won the party for the highest total of sales David Pritchard, manager of the campaign ably assisted by the homeroom representatives and alternates, did an excellent job. When ali the sales were totaled, the class of 1951 had topped their goal of 51750, for a grand total 01 S1803.70, or a net profit of 345423. David Pritchard, the highest salesman, chose the Zenith radio, while Helen Gomber, winner oi the drawing prize, chose the girl's Rollfast bicycle. What does everybody like to do? Eat! Therefore, a bake sale was the next venture. Held at Hargreaves, the class netted that No- vember day about forty dollars toward their fund. A movie, Jack London, sponsored by the sophomores, was shown on March 29 in the high school auditorium with an afternoon and an evening performance. Two candy orders during the months of April and May wound up the activities of a very busy, successful year. if
