Stepping out this fall at West Point-Beemer Jr-Sr High School is Kelly Donaldson in her sharp, two-piece suit. Kelly took special care with the bound buttonholes and welt pockets. The teal blue color should help her make an entrance at many upcoming activities.

Racing to the finish line is one place you may find Jana Bartlet in her new racy red jogging suit. Jana enjoys sports and should have many opportunities to wear it. Make sure to check West Point Central’s track results next spring for her picture.
