Dorothy Wear, who leads the Student Council, came to College View from Blue Hill 'last year. Her fine scholarship and merry personality have gained her both honors and friends. Unoflicially we would say that Dorothy's hob- by has been attending G. R. city- wide suppers and Hi-Y-G. R. con- ferences. Officially we say that Dorothy's major talent is singing: perhaps her second major is act- ing. fl didn't write this.-D.W.J If acting holds especial lure for you, this is a good time to pre- sent Marjorie French, whose de- lightful characterizations in plays and readings have made her a popular entertainer in C. V. H. S. A clever and humorous writer. Mariorie has also been invaluable to student publications: but clever- ness strengthened with competence has made this senior one of our most active students. Did we say active? Page Clif- ford Thomas, at once. A unanimous choice as editor of the VIEWPOINT, Clifford had already edited the Purple and Gold, during which time his competent writing and sound judgment made him out- Fourteen 4 4 standing. Genuine in his emphasis upon school spirit, Clifford has been a natural and responsible leader of our high school. Speaking of leaders, those Brant twins certainly are capable. More conscientious workers can- not be found for these two pep club members always do their best. As G. R. president, Leona is tops. and Sethyne keeps the nickels and pennies straight as the class treas- urer. They truly make good twins, for they not only look alike but they also like practically the same things. Another president in the class of '37 is Leonard Cornell who pre- sides at all of the Hi-Y meetings. It must not be forgotten that- this small, brilliant, young fellow was also the junior class president. Leo- ard always does his part and con- sequently is in demand for a large number of responsible positions. Position, you say! Iohnny Badousek as football captain cer- tainly filled that place well. This small, sturdy fullback did a lot for our team, for his hard plugging and ambition helped to keep our spirits high. johnny's congenial ways IEAQCHQAQAQQ A G vsethfne' Brain will win for him many friends. When it comes to friendly peo- ple, Ianette Vanderslice is one of the best, for I have never heard her say a cross word and certainly she never looks gloomy. Although naturally not talkative, Ianette makes up for it by being such a good listener. By the way, have you ever listened to Irene Henson? Her out- standing talent is drama. So clev- erly does she portray characters that we who listen imagine that she is really another person. This scholarly young girl is one of the peppiest of the Pep Club. She is the least in age but by no means the most insignificant. That reminds us of Maurice Breunsbach who certainly is not to be slighted. Not only is he be- hind the C. V. Club as president but he was also back of those sound effects in both of our class plays. Maurice's good-natured dis- position is most likely a cause for his popularity. Oh! to be popular-Virginia Badousek doesn't need to Worry about this for wasn't it the boys themselves who elected her for

Irene The senior class of 1937, being no exception that proves any rule, has a history just as any senior class. We entered high school in the fall of 1934 with a class of thirty- six members. Mrs. Beltz was our home room teacher and Mrs. Berg- man, our sponsor. We chose as class oflicers, Richard Keith, presi- dent: Gertrude Lampman, vice- dent: and Duard Henderson, sec- retary-treasurer. Our flrst social event as sopho- mores was a Halloween par- ty held in the gym. Some like the pump- kin pie and cid- er so well that they stood in line twice in or- der to get a sec- ond helping. After Christ- mas vacation we returned to the same home room, but found a new teacher, Miss Perry. Several of our class lettered as sophomores. Girls who received G. A. A. awards were Leona and Sethyne Brant, and Freda Theis. Boys who received football letters were Duard Henderson, Iohn Ba- dousek, Vernon Lunsford, and Hu- bert McMeen. Duard was the on- ly boy to letter in basketball as a sophomore. Two of our class were mem- bers of the student council. They were Virginia Badousek and Clif- ford Thomas. The following September found us back in school again, but this time divided into home rooms. Some were in Mrs. Rider's and the others in Mr. Humann's home room. On October 23, the junior class election was held. Those elected were: Leonard Cornell, president: Marjorie French, vice-president: Clifford Thomas, secretary: and Dorothy Wear, treasurer. A football assembly was held .snioz Cffaai clfisfo 'cy December 19, announcing Charles Taylor and Iohn Badousek as foot- ball co-captains. Following Christmas vacation, practice was begun on the junior class play, A Ready-Made Fam- ily, which was presented March 27 and 28. The cast included Du- ard Henderson, Edna Eddy, Irene Henson, Dorothy Wear, Charles Taylor, Celeste Meyer, Olive Gil- laspie, Robert Willson, Clifford Thomas, and Marjorie French. Fred Soflin, a senior of '36, took the part Robert Willson would have played had it not been for his con- tracting mumps. Later in the same se- mester Duard Henderson was chosen as captain of the 1936-37 basketball team. Then came the big event of the year, the much-planned and often- spoken-of Iunior-Senior banquet, which was held Saturday, May 23, at the Lindell Hotel. The fall of 1936 found us once more in school, this time as seniors in our last year of high school. Senior sponsors were Miss Perry and Miss Buchanan. All sen- iors were assigned to Miss Perry's home room. The president, Duard Henderson, was chosen by a large majority with Virginia Badousek as vice-president. I r e n e Henson was selected sec- retary and Sethyne Brant became class treasurer. On October 8, the pupils reorganized the Student Council, with senior members as fol- lows: Dorothy Wear, who became its president, Robert Willson, Ed- na Eddy, Freda Theis, Vernon Lunsford, and Iohn Badousek. Three new cheerleaders were elected, as Florence Hergerit did not return to school. One of these three was a senior, Clifford Thom- as. ELMA BUCHANAN The second semester found the seniors working on their class play. The House of the Flashing Light, which was presented Feb- ruary 5 and 6. The cast included Henson, Sethyne Brant, MARCIA PERRY Dorothy Wear, Clifford Thomas, Charles Taylor, Myrtle Porter. Leonard Cornell, Iohn Badousek, Buryl Wright, Celeste Meyer. Marjorie French, and Freda Theis. A senior assembly was held in April, presenting the new curtains and stage setting, as well as dis- playing the talents and abilities of the senior class. The Viewpoint staff for 1937 was chosen on March 8, with thir- teen active members. The members of the Honor So- ciety elected from the Class of '37 were Freda Theis, as a junior, Irene Henson, Dorothy Wear, and Sethyne Brant as seniors. The seniors celebrated Skip Day on Wednesday, May 19, when the members and their spon- sors spent the day at Crete. The class enjoyed the riding, and came home with sunburns and insect bites. After an event of this charac- ter, the Class of '37 were provided variety with the Iunior - Senior banquet Satur- d a y evening, May 22, at the Hotel Cornhus- ker. The jun- ors were our hosts. Some of the seniors took part in the toast p r o g r a m , of which Ben Fleet was master of ceremonies. Rev, Richard Peck conducted Baccalaureate service Sunday eve- ning, Iune 6, at the Seventh-day Adventist church. Following the Sunday program, the annual Oom- mencement exercises took place on Tuesday, May 8, with twenty-sev- en seniors receiving their diplomas. Irene Henson and CliEord Thomas gave the graduation addresses. Thirteen

Virginia is not only liked by the boys.-Her merry smile and happy ways make friends where ever she goes. Now is the time to usher in Edna Eddy who is a friend to all. Her willingness to cooperate and take part in all activities has re- sulted in every one depending upon her, There are many things that Edna likes, such as singing and knitting. This ambitious girl al- ways enters into everything with a forcefullness and independence not equalled by others. In speaking of independent spirits we must not forget Robert Willson who played an important part in both football and basketball. Bob also had a special interest in the Hi-Y club as a cabinet member. His happy-go-lucky disposition and original ideas certainly didn't make him pass unnoticed in C. V. H. S. This good old high school is proud to announce Freda Theis as the girl who ranks high in grades. lt is said that the wise person is not the one who talks a lot. Per- haps this is the reason that we do not hear Freda elaborating quite as much as some of the rest of us. She has a natural wit and is bound to make the mark. On your mark-set-go Charles Taylor who entered C. V. from Texas must have acquired some of his striking personality from one of those Texas cowboys. Known to the school as a versatile athlete and a real fellow, Chuck is a husky example of a A'man's man in the outdoor manner. Vernon Lunsford is another mans man type senior. Not only has he been active in sports but he has held important places in Hi-Y and the P and G affairs. Although A'Vernie is rather re- served and quiet we have been told that he may be depended upon to do as good as the next fellow in any project that he may undertake. The projects that Celeste Meyer undertakes always fas you can imaginej are accomplished excel- lently. She is the only blond of the senior class and she knows how to make the G. R. parties never seem dull. The snaps in this book show how much imagination this young lady possesses. Can you imagine?- Edward Keyser has gone to College View school for thirteen years counting of course kindergarten. Although he is not one of us who blows around about his accomplishments, we all know that he keeps his mind on his own business and if this is any sign 'at all, Ed will be sure to com: out ahead, Myrtle Porter is also 0,10 who heads the class. A petite brunette who lends her voice along with the rest of the Pep Club is sure not to be lagging in spirit and Myrt certainly is not. She was on the G. R. cabinet and we know she did her duty. Her fine personality is a great asset. Our senior class has many great personalities, for instance Virgil Williams, who has also gon to College View schools for a good number of years, in fact, his whole school life. Virgil, who is a meme ber of the C. V, club and who was stage manager in the plays Fifn FII
