17 iVe withstood our sophomore year with one thought in mind — next year we would be in the U]jper brackets - that of our Junior year. V;e finally achieved the ranks of Juniors, a feat that deserved much praise. We were no longer inexperienced children but we had been transformed into mature young adults. (so our mothers thought) kiss O ' Neil, kr. Uppvall and kr. Stevens joined the r acuity at Vi estv ood. Our big event of the year v as the Junior prom which was held in Lay. It was our first major event and we strug- led through making it a big success. Already lectures were being ' iven about future plans after high school. New slang says v ere also invented by our aspiring Junior boys. The new look as we knov it now v;as not the same. The new look v as done by making hideous and grotesque facial expressions. Ask some of our girls how it was done. 1948 - The year of the atom bomb and the squirt gun. Anyone who walked down the corridor was not surprised to see a Sophis- ticated Senior with a squirt gun. The seventh grade was shocked with our conduct. Our first great event of that year was the football and basketball dances. The Senior Flay Gome Rain or Shine v as equally important. The whole class co-operated as never before to make this year something to remember. More slang sayings v ere introduced. Big Wheel was the nev and popular saying. The nev; look came into being and was not too popular v ith the boys. In reprisal for the long black skirts the girls v;ore, the boys began to roll up their cuffs to expose their argyle socks. Vi - owe a lot of thanks to Miss Keenan, Our class adviser, and to all the teachers who helped to make our green years happy ones.
