SENIOR CLASS HISTORY «DEG pardon, but what’s that horrible din in our sanctified halls?” That, brother senior, is one of those things—in this instance a type of growth called Sopho- mores, who try to conceal the fact by calling themselves the class of ’34. Nevertheless, during its three years in Columbia, the class of ’34, under the friendly guidance of Miss Camilla Low, distinguished itself as generally competent, and in some fields displayed more than average talent. In the matter of school government its officers held up admirably the proud standards handed down to them by the retiring class. With Jack Hoppock at their head, Dorothy Evans, Betty Britten, and Robert Burns managed the business of the Student Council capably and commendably. Along sports lines the showing of the Senior Class was good, but not exceptional. Perhaps its stronghold was football. As captain, Peter Harrison set a fine example of alertness and fight that characterized the whole team and especially the forward wall, which was almost entirely composed of the old guard.” In other sports, honors had to be shared more with underclassmen, but the seniors boasted two remarkable all-around athletes, Danny Reman and Edmund Jacobi. The highspot on the sports annals of the graduating class was the surprising and gratifying conquest of our respected rival. West Orange, on the gridiron. In the higher accomplishments of art, music, and drama, many seniors stood out as especially talented. Lawrence Redpath, brilliant editor of The Columbian”, demonstrated amazing skill on the accordion, Bette Love and the diminutive Henry Lou on the piano, and Ed Burt on the clarinet. In L. Mutz and Robert Burns the class of ’34 was favored with two extraordinarily gifted artists. Finally, in the bright glare of the footlights several stars appea . The suave Edward Padula, president of the Parnassian, Paul Murphv, Matthew McDermitt, and Edward Burt captured leading masculine roles at one time or another, while Dorothy Kautzman, Ruth Brown, and Virginia Becker proved to be fem- inine Thespians of considerable prowess. The seniors look back with pride on three productions of real merit, the sophomore operetta, Tulip Time in Holland,” the unsurpassable Junior Night of 1933,” and the sparkling senior play The Show-off.” The superb Parnassian play, If I Were King,’ featuring Frederic Reeve and Dorothy Yard in the leads, came as a fitting climax to rare dramatic achievement. We feel that you, Columbia, have done your best for us in school; we shall try to uphold your standards in life. Page Six
