We were very lucky to have Mrs. Ann Stamer as our sponsor. We started the year with a 'bang' by selling school caps, wildcat emblems, and pennants. These were a token of our school spirit. The Juniors held their bake sale Saturday, March lip, at Stamer's store. We are proud to say that it was a success. We had tryouts for the Junior Play which we gave Thursday, evening, November 13- The actors for the Junior Play, Looks Like Rain, were as follows: Don Hoech portrayed Monty Mansfield, the proprietor of the Sherwood Inn. Norton Kennedy was Monty's good friend, Reggie Van Wert, an ambitious author. Elmo Armstrong was Monty's cousin, the neat and refined lawyer who tried to cheat Monty out of a fortune. Ray Welge played Elmo's part. Junior Twiehaus portrayed the part of Jerry Watson, the late proprietor. Nellie Watson was Jerry's daughter who had her eyes on Monty. Nellie was portrayed by Marlene Lemke. Shirley Koelling was Mar- tha Watson, Jerry's better-half. Sally Smiley played the part of Vilut Hickey, Monty's neighbor who made your sides ache from laughter. We had a wonderful time preparing the play for present- ation. We are proud to say that we made a valuable contribution to the basketball teams. We had six boys and two girls on the teams. The girls were Sally Smiley and Mary Beth Govoreau. The boys were Clifford Gosney, JohnStippey, Junior Twiehaus, Donald Hoech, Nor- ton Kennedy, and Forrest Mikus. Our candidate for the F. F. A. Chapter Sweetheart was Sally Smiley and Donald Hoech was the nominee for the F. H. A. King of Hearts. The Junior-Senior prom, which was held on Saturday evening May 2, featured a Starlight and Moonglow theme. The gym was sectioned off to form a patio surrounded by a stone wall on which vines climbed and against which shrubs grew and blossomed. The false ceiling was of' deep blue, studded with twinkling stars, and with a full moon casting its beams to furnish light for the dan- cers. Throughout the garden, tables were placed among the shrub- bery. These were decorated with delicately cut crepe paper covers, over which stardust had been sprinkled, and each was lighted by a single taper in a star-shaped holder. Refreshments for the even- ing were Dew Drops (cookies) and Moonshine (punch). Invitations and favor booklets were in keeping with the theme of the evening. Music was furnished by an orchestra from the Woodland School of Music in St. Louis. On May 15 the Juniors ended a very successful school year at Wright City High School.
