President: Linda jo Codbey, Secretaryg and Jim VVhicker, Vice-President are shown here with one of their advisors, Miss McNeill, planning that all-important event, the Junior- Scnior Banquet. The junior year was characteristically one of furious activity and projects, most of these aimed in the purposeful direction of staging a Junior-Senior Banquet that would do its planners proud. The class went through periods of depres- sion and elation concerning the frightening financial aspect of the J.-S., they came through the Crowell-Collier magazine sale, however, with flying colors, raking in a bigger profit than had any previous junior class at W. C. With their new budget of 53,'lOO, they began polling ideas for the superior that they brought off fin the springj without a hitch. Coming, as upperclassmen, under the in- fluence of the college-mindecl seniors, the previously sheltered juniors became aware of job and college requirements, the fact that they, too, would soon be shoved out on their own gave them reason for some sober thought. They expended monstrous amounts of energy preparing speeches for the U. N. speech contest and the other speech contest peculiar in origin to the junior year. Becoming eligible for membership in most school societies, they began for the first time to take responsible parts in school life, culmi- nating their year were the election from among the juniors of the student body officers and club officers, and the selection of mar- shals for the following year. The junior class, with a new sensation of importance, readied to step into the shoes of the departing seniors. l'npJi' Tfwnvljx'-.Y1'nrr

SENIUHE Measurements for caps and gowns, de- bates about graduation invitation orders, and the Junior-Senior Banquet passed all too quickly, and, suddenly, subdued seniors were listening to the solemn baccalaureate sermon, and preparing for graduation cere- monies. The Night came when nervous boys and fluttery girls trying to seem dignified Page Tcwniy-Eigli! graduated finally from high school and turned eagerly to the future. In spite of all the years ahead of them, all the wonders that will inevitably unfold, they can never forget the work, the fun, the trials, the accomplishments, and the friendships these years had brought . . .
