The entire junior class cooperated to the fullest extent in securing the money needed for the Junior- Senior Prom, which had a Mexican motif. The gay colors blended harmoni- ously and there were plenty of gaiety and color at the festivity. Under the able direction of George Bosler the Junior-Senior Prom can be said to be one of the best given here at Wellston High School.

The main characters were: Eric Pellarin-President, Joe Cortopassi-Vice Presi- dent, June Botkin-Secretary, and Arthur Bahr-Treasurer. The sponsors were Miss Whiteford and Mr. Stigall. This year proved to be a very outstand- ing one in the adventures of this class. Football proved to be one of the main features in the class history. Eric Pellarin was selected to be on the All District Football Team, and Art Bahr received Honorable Mention. Eric Pellarin, one of our outstanding athletes of the season, was chosen the most valuable player of the District of St. Louis, and was awarded a gold football. Much suspense was held at the Homecoming Dance as to who would be crowned Football Queen. Gerry Thomas walked away with the honor. Nineteen
