Class of ' 34 for the past fiftj years. It was a bigger project than any senior class in recent years has undertaken, but they came through with flying colors and an origi- nal commencement program. Such seniors as Tom Gill, Jack Rawls, John Anduiza, Junior Lemon, D. Lete- mendi, Bill Piedmont, and Myron Fouke saw this year ' s basketball team do some good playing. Tom Gill made the dis- trict first team and Hill Piedmont made the second team. For second Patrick Henry ' s the senior class claims such golden tongued orators and debaters as Richard Frazier, Hob Mason, Joe Yamamoto, and Loj Ren- shaw. Confidentially it is thought that they could take old man fate himself into giving them what they wanted, if the old fellow didn ' t avoid them like poison ivy. The class has, for dramatics, such outstanding gen- iuses as Harold Schweibert, Francis Barnard, Maria Rementeria, Mar- garet Taylor, M - ion Fouke, and Mary Inez Maus. Antonia Rosandick Ardis Simpson, president of the Girls ' club, received that honor which every senior girl dreams about having. She was elected may queen. Doris Eby took the position of maid of honor, so both of the most popu- lar girls in the class were happy. The girls in the senior class held quite a few of the outstanding offices of the school. Yida Pope was editor of the Courier. Other seniors on this staff with important positions were Geneva Gil- lam, Toni Chattin, Virginia Peters, and Mary Faubion. Gertrude Orabelle Williams was editor of the High Lights the first semester, and Carolee Purton served in that capacity the second semes- ter. Evelyn Dickman, corresponding sec- retary of the student body, acted as big sister captain for the freshman girls. Louise Watson was president of the ath- letically inclined girls in the school. Per- haps because the seniors have learned how important activities are to their school life, they were represented in large numbers as officers and members of the different organizations of the high school. This class of ' 34 has many and varied talents, which they used to the best of their ability, and we ' re telling you, that it is pretty good. Great things are expected of these seniors, and every- one will be disappointed if several world records are not broken by these students. This year ' s class is the fifty-first to graduate from Boise Hi, the first classes took their honor at the traditional little i ' A school house at the site of the present state capi- tol, later they built the main part of the present building in what was then a cow pasture, finally the left and right wings were added, and the 1 ndustrial Arts building erect- ed. At last the sen- iors li.i e a real in- stitution to gradu- ate from. The Betty Fouke grandchildren of this year ' s seniors may possibly have a gymnasium added to the said institution by the time they are ready to graduate. Several teachers are finishing their fourth year here now. Among them is Miss Clara Otness, dean of girls. It is most strange the way the faculty can be sentimental over the graduating class their fourth year at a school. Perhaps the) consider it their own special class. To the world, this is just another sen- ior class, perhaps a little bigger than most, but still just the fifty-first class to graduate from a Boise Hi. However, to those left behind, it is a class that has completed the grind that is trying their verj souls. It is a class, good friends, that it is going to seem strange to try to do without.

Class of ' 34 Here, friends, are the .seniors, almost ready to make their last bow to the rest of the student body of Boise high school before thej disappear into the mists of the somewhat uncertain future. These seniors are people of no small courage. They have fought with true undergraduate spirit every oppressive obstacle in the last four years. They have contributed stellar leaders in everj line of school activity. Among them are poli- ticians of great string-pulling ability, ath- letes whose feats are worshipped from afar by all the susceptible hearts in the school, journalists from whom every per- son possessing a skeleton in the closet Hees, dramatists so great that they are actually looked upon with suspicion MHMH H by the conservative | members of the stu- dent body, and musicians talented enough to uphold their reputations among the best. This yea r most of the senior,, were stowed safclv awaj in the two study halls for advisories under J. E. Six and E. Glider. A iew, h o w e v e r , w e r e scattered around in the advisories of Dwight Mitchell, Helen Miller, Esther Stalker, Ida Marsh, and Si Perkins. Old-fashioned dresses, rags tatters, straw hats and derbies came into their own on senior dress-up day. Seniors who didn ' t dress up and under-classmen who did met up with the big end of a paddle wielded bv a high ami might} senior. A committee in the halls selected the best COStmues dining the first three periods. A short pantomine was given at the assembly. The senior advisers chose Violetta Deckard and Raymond Ledvina as the best dressed seniors. That grand and glorious day when all seniors are allowed to skip school and sneak off to some secret rendezvous came in May. Senior sneak daj gave a smile I w ntj sij i Doris Eh to more than one downcast face. The Command Performance was the senior class play. The cast contained many prominent seniors. The seniors, aye, even everybody else, enjoyed this delight- ful play to the fullest extent. Now take one last look at all the sen- iors as they cross the stage and receive their diplomas. They will never again all be together. Even by next fall they will be scattered all over. They will be gone on their way to fields of endeavor from which, from time to time, stories of the successes of this person and that will come back to the home folk and they will say proudly, Oh, yes, 1 know him, he graduated from Boise high school in the class of ' 34. LeRoy Sproat, outstanding senior, flH I won the Kiwanis W k I sdub plaque for this I year as the most fSt, • I reliable man on the 17 • football team. His fey- name was engraved along with others who were promi- nent in athletics in past years. LeRoy also placed second in the boys ' popu- larity contest, Ios- LeRo) Sproat ing first place by a very small margin. That last minute cramming seemed to effect the senior boys in the intra- murial track meet, for they allowed the juniors to give them a trouncing — a fact which made the juniors forget them- selves and violate senior day. However, the seniors asserted themselves and main a rowdy junior took himself somewhat stiffly home at noon and changed back to civilized clothe., or swore he would never chew gum again, whichever his particu- lar trouble might be. Tin- commencement exercises featured the semi-centennial of the school. The class ot ' ,i4 is the first graduating class aftei iniv years of history in Boise high school. Many self-sacrificing seniors gave up then- studv hall, and did re-
