Our junior year was one of wonderful and treasured memories. Our class parents were Mr.
Lloyd Hust and Mrs. Arlee Laird. They worked w ith our class officers, Dennis Yamasaki, president;
Nancy Burtcher, vice president; and Pam Meals, secretary, to lead us through a fabulous year. Our
Peach Day float, "Deep Fanta-Sea," glistened in the sun and brought applause and much comment
from the people of Brigham City. It won a first place rating and gave us good cause to be proud.
DENNIS
Our new school building had not been completed. School had been postponed for tw o weeks.
Still, for the first part of school we attended classes with workmen painting in the same room. We
accepted this fact and made the best o f if. The only thing w e really missed were assemblies. The
only ones we had had to be held in the gym because the auditorium wasn't finished until spring.
When homecoming came, juniors could be found all over the streets of Brigham City painting
the town. We painted it with actual paint-purple and white. We used our creative abilities and
made the town look beautiful w ith the colors of Box Elder.

Our biggest task of the year was the Junior Prom. It was the first prom to be held in the
new BE gym. We had problems which resulted from inexperience in working in the new larger gym,
but everything turned out beautifully and we were proud to announce "The Green Leaves of Summer'
as the theme. The fam iliar gymnasium slowly lost its true identity as we diligently turned the basketball
court into a lovely southern plantation with all the necessary atmosphere. Hours were spent cutting
out green material to make leaves for the many trees strewn throughout the gymnasium. The
|grge stately mansion surrounded by a beautiful fountain added to the atmosphere of the southern
estate. Three chandeliers hung from the ceiling, adding a note of dignity and authenticity to the entire
scene.
We w ill never forget the school play, "Blythe Spirit," or the ghost which appeared in it.
O ur basketball team w ent into the state basketball tournam ent and emerged as consolation
champions w ith a huge trophy to add to our collection. We also received the Region I sportsmanship
trophy. Once again our hearts surged with pride f )r Box Elder.
