Young Iunior High School for the first time, as students. They spent a happy year here. Returning less bewildered in the fall of '38 some of the members brought glory both to themselves and to their school by winning the Swope award of twenty-five dollars for their short story project under the guidance of Miss Newton. In the ninth grade, the school system was changed and it was decided that Isaac E. Young should become a senior high school. In spite of the fact that we would remain in Isaac E. Young, there was a formal ninth grade graduation with about two hundred and sixty graduating. That year a Very successful dance was sponsored by the class in Iune. The social events of the Sophomore year were a record tea dance held in April, a class luncheon with entertainment by members of the class, and a prom in collaboration with the Iunior class at the end of the year. Returning in the fall of l94l as the present Iunior class, officers were elected who were Bill Reilly, president, Bill Potts, vice-presidentp Peggy' Martin, secre- tary: and Iohn Anson, treasurer. On Valentines Day the class gave its farned carnival, the Iunior Iubilee, where Ioan Bassi was elected Queen of Hearts. The Iunior Prom was held on Iune fifth. Thus the class of '43 completed its first five full years at Isaac E. Young looking forward to an even better year as the second graduating class of Isaac E. Young High School. Norma Harris 23
