THE JUNIOR CLASS ROLL HAS SUFFERED MORE CASUALTIES THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER CLASS. During the year twelve names have been dropped. Five boys withdrew before the pictures on this page were taken: Junior Adams, Lawrence Allen, Ralph Bond, Thomas McKee, and Donald Peffly. Since then seven others have left the class. Of the twelve, two are in the Service — Kenneth Clark and Ralph Bond, both in the Army Air Corps. One boy, Thomas McKee, moved away from West Carrollton. The other nine withdrawals have been for work. We realize that the demands of the Army and Navy and of factory work may take others of our number; but we are hoping that the remaining 41 Juniors may be able to continue their school work and graduate in 1944.

Treasurer Miss Arnold..............Adviser Row 1 — Spaite, Myers, Coatney, Brockman Row 2 — Jolliff, Arnold. LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE PAST NINE MONTHS, WE JUNIORS RECOLLECT: The promptness with which Juniors pay their class dues. Every week, the treasurer is just swamped with payments. (Am I kiddin'?) Our highly successful basketball season, in which Junior boys figured so prominently; namely, Coatney. at center, Furnas at forward, and Stevenson at forward, center, guard, and what-have-you? The work, trouble, and fun we had trying to give the Junior Play. First, Bill Russell had the flu; then, Moses got sick, leaving the role of the Professor unfilled; and last, but certainly not least, Spaite endeavored to learn the Prof's lines at the last minute. He just got by, for he had appendicitis the next day. Miss Arnold's clever idea for play announcements. Each cast member signed his name. You might know the Seniors would copy the idea for their play. The very fashionable style parade, including the latest Paris creations (plaid flannel shirts and overalls) worn by the Junior Play Cast one night to rehearsal. The Junior Play Cast devouring their gift to Miss Marsh. Not much was left of that four-pound box of Maud Muller's. Our vain attempts to make 30 words a minute in that !!$..!? !! typing class. Schell's gang. We wonder what Bill and the rest would do with themselves if they got back to school earlier than one o'clock. Jack Stevenson's version of the Strip Polka at a Hi-Y dance. Bob Myers going all-out on Serenade in Blue (accompanied by Chuck Chastain and orchestra) at another Hi-Y dance. The thrilling day on which our class rings arrived. We really hit the jack pot; but isn't it too bad a lot of the boys didn't get to keep theirs? Our miserable efforts to draw maps in history class. How did Mr. Stockton expect us to draw a map of the world without a round piece of jxiper? Our Junior-Senior Reception with Chastain swinging it out again. The decorations followed a patriotic theme with the gym gay with flags of the United Nations. Page Nineteen

In preparation he copies certain paragraphs from a well-known essay. These his uncle sends in under Eddie’s name. The judges accuse him of plagiarism. However Eddie himself has sent in an original essay under an assumed name, and in the end wins the contest. BUT THE REAL FUN CAME WHEN: Miss Marsh pulled her hair trying to find a professor, as one after another of the cast got sick. Paul Spaite took the part the day before the play and had his appendix out the Hav after. Dale gave a realistic performance as a distracted father. Bill Russell timidly practiced making love to Yvonne. Donna tried to remember to stand erect and not to cross her feet. Bob sat on tacks, and Weldon told himself to shut up. Pago Twenty one
