Junior Activities

One of our first activities as high school students was our initiation.

As sophomores, we had a dance and a combination sleighing party and going away surprise for Mr. and Mrs. Stelljes.

On November 17 and 18, 1955, our class presented the Junior play. The play was well presented and favorably received by the community. The play activities include:

Name of Play: No More Homework Place of Action: High School Principals Office Synopsis of Play: What happens when three high school students are forced into the roles of principal, vice-president and school secretary of a small school? This play answers the questions. Should homework be abolished? Should they stand behind an unpopular teacher? What action, if any, should be taken against an athlete who is up for disciplinary action? Well, these questions were solved, even tho one complication swiftly leads to another. The janitor and scrub woman do not add to the ease of the situation, but rather help to complicate matters further. Finally the principal returns and situations right themselves, and school returns to normal.
