JUNIOR HISTORY Eighty-one juniors returned last fall to begin their third year of high school. Ernest Mueller was elected president, Emma Mueller, vice presi- dentg and Kermit Moore, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Johnson, Miss Cole, and Miss Shepard were chosen as sponsors. The junior class was very well rep- resented this year in the activities of the glee clubs. John Elderkin, Floyd Craven, and Joe Alexander were in the quartette. In the operctta Floyd Craven, Isa- belle Smith, Arthur Goshorn, Ernest Mueller, and John Elderkin had lead- ing solo parts. Bessie Embree, Willard Finney, Joe Alexander, Willis Cox, Eu- gene Crow, Robert Parkins, Helen Wo1'- ley, Ilo Comp, Ilene Miles, John Mc- liees, Jack Vierling, Willard Mease, and Roy Busch played minor parts. Although the junior class has always been well represented in girls' basket- ball, not until this year did any of 'them play regularly. Mary Bruns and Maxine Harrell received their letters with sixty-five and forty-three quar- ters respectively. Dorothy Cunning- ham, Kathleen Croft, and Henrietta E-pwgin-other juniors on the squad have good prospects for making the first team next year. Ileroy Addy and Donald Simpson had twenty-two and sixteen quarters to their credit at the end of the boys' basketball season. They were the only junior boys to win their letters this year in basketball. li-gl-L. JUNIOR.-SENIOR BANQUET The annual junior-senior banquet was held on Friday, May 3, in the high school gymnasium, which was decorat- od like a roof garden. A dance or- chestra from Des Moines played for the dance after the banquet. The chairmen for the various com- mittees were as follows: entertain- ment, Dorothy Cunningham and Er- nest Muellerg program, Ilo Comp and Isabelle Smithg food, Marjorie Bell- man and Betty Fosherg and decora- tions, Kathleen Croft and Kermit Moore. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Remembering that the financial support of the junior-senior banquet rested on them, the junior class of 1934-1935 made a snappy sales carn- paign for the sale of tickets for the class play, The Three of Us. The campaign was undertaken as z, contest, with two captains for each of the two sides. John Elderkin and Mary Bruns were the captains for the victorious side. The individual prizes for largest ticket sales were won by Bessie Embree and Russell Comp. The Three of Us Was presented early in the fall. Maxine Harrell played the part of Rye McChesney, a young west- ern. girl whose efforts to keep her younger brothers, Clem and Sonny, played by Eugene 'Crow and Arthur Goshorn, at home made up the prin- cipal interests of the plot. John Elder- kin as Steve Townley supplied the romantic attraction. Six other characters in the play were enacted by Kathleen Croft, Isa- belle Sfmith, Dale Braden, Willard Mease, Floyd Craven, and Leland Cahow. l.T0 ..
