N. I 5 JUNIQRS Too much could not be said about the Juniors. They were a class of talent. This talent was displayed in the Junior Play, Spring Fever , and a chapel which they presented. The Junior Play was typical of gay college life and was enjoy'- ed by all who attended. The Juniors had a large group in the A-Cappella Choir and were also well rep- resented in the band and orchestra, The Junior-Senior Banquet was given on April 25. It was an outstanding event of the year. The Juniors did their part in all sports. They had 18 out for football, and ll, large number out for basketball. Four of these boys were usually on the starting line-up oi' the first team. They had seven lettermen in basketball and 13 in football. On the honor roll the class had an average of about nine or ten throughout the year. Sponsors: Miss Halnmons and Mr. Townsend.

Richard Mulsow is a pilot on one of the rocket ships making non-stop flights to Mars. He says it rather takes one's breath away on the first trip,but after a few times it is just as common as riding in an airplane has become to us in the last two years. Jean Weide is working on a Dude Ranch in Wyoming. She has just announced her engagement to the proprietor of the ranch. Della Weide is one of the leading fashion designers in Hollywood.

Violet Stoll has been married for six years and has just won the title of Most Beautiful Matron of the United States. qWas it the football hero we knew that you married, Violet?J Bessie Strand operates a Beauty Shoppe in Miami, Florida. She says the most common problem brought to her is that of curing a sunburn. Carolyn Gucene became an air hostess. She married a pilot and now their home is in New York City.

Helen Mahon is the new dictator of America, She started a new political party' called the Mahotsi Party. Instead of Heil Hitler, the American cry is Hi Ya, Helen. Ermadean Long, little but mighty, has developed a wonderful speaking voice and journalistic ability. She is acting as Dictator Mahon's Minister of Propoganda. Since the dictator is not married, she writes the well-known newspaper column My Day. Betty Rae Butler is Secretary of the Treasury. She allows the cabinet to have as much money as they want whenever they want it, Also, she's too small to get away with much of it. Bill Lamb is Chief High Executioner for Dictator Mahon's regime. He is also acting as foreign minister. That concludes the present history of the Class of 1940. They expect to have another reunion in 1960. There should be some interesting developments especially with the dictatorship type of government that we now have. FABEIE
