Junior Story Even though they are now classed as upper- classmen there are those students who sit and admire the Seniors. Yes, we mean the Juniors. At their first class meeting of the year the Juniors chose their loyal leaders as follows: Firman Walker, President, Melvin Zeiters, Vice- President, James Poisel, Treasurer, Raymond Lee Secretary, and Bernard Mueller and Dale Bailey, Senators. They also chose very capable play and prom committees. After getting a firm hold on their subjects and complimenting their teachers, (for their grades, maybe) the Juniors began thinking of the expenses they would have to meet. To curb these expenses they sold pop, candy, and coffee at the football and basketball games. They also were in charge of the concessions at the Kankakee Valley Tournament at which Wheatfield acted as host. Next came the carnival which the Juniors greatly anticipated. They came in third in the contest among the classes to see who could raise the most money. They chose as their popular girl nominee, Norma Jean Bricker and it was through her classmates help that she came in second in the queen’s contest. About the same time we had our annual “Echo” subscription drive. The over worked Juniors just couldn ' t make the grade it seems, as they came in fifth in this contest. But as the tradition goes they paid the price of this loss by giving a Christmas party for the winners. Then in December came that long awaited day--their rings arrived. One would think they had all received diamonds from the way they “ohed and oohed” over them for the first few days. They received their class sweaters, which are black with gold letters, when they were Sophomores. On April 11, the Juniors presented an assembly program for the high school classes. Everyone participated and enjoyed doing it. With the year drawing to an end the play “Tumblin Creek” a thrilling three act comedy was given. All the Juniors along with Mr. Beck, the sponsor, and the cast worked very hard to present thi s comedy. The climax of the ever exciting Junior year was reached when the Juniors were host to the Seniors at the Junior -Senior prom. Mr. Edward Shreve, assistant principal, guided this class through a very successful year. 17
