The annual formal dance, the Junior Prom, was held at Heatherdowrfs Country Club May 10. Music was furnished by Reem Sneider's Orchestra. . Most classes have the same advisor all four years and elect a new person for president each year. The First three years of the life of this class has seen a different adviser for each year and the same president throughout. A very good leader is found in the person of Tom O'Neil. The class of '41 has become one of the most energetic and original to endow the Vifhitmer halls. , -28-

This gala event took place at Forest Park on May 28, 1939. VVe came back from summer vacation with the determination to make our sophomore class more active and progressive. There were 150 sophomores enrolled this year. The class otlicers elected in the present year were as follows: George Draves, Pres-ident, a member of the basketball reserves, X1Valter Nickels, Vice-president, and Betty Marie Thompson, Secretary and Trans-1m'm'. Mr. Marvin Habel is our class advisor this year. A roller skating party was held on December 27, 1939, at Memorial Hall. This was entirely successful, as everyone who turned out enjoyed it. It gave everyone the opportunity to renew old acquaintances a11d make new ones. Another skating party was held on May 1, 1940, at Memorial Hall and this was also an occasion to be remembered. Our class had a number of active athletes indulging in football, basketball, and in- tramural sports. Also many sophomores are regularly on the honor roll. We are looking forward with anticipation to the time when we will be upper classmen and graduates.
