SENICR CLASS OFFICERS ALLEN McFARLAND ------ President IEAN LOCKER - - - Vice-President VVINIFRED HAYES - - Secretary ROBERT ANDERSON - - Treasurer Class History In our Freshman year, we started through Dunkirk High School, which looked to us large and foreboding at first. We then elected Allen MacFarland president, never realizing that he would retain that OH:lCC for all four years. Up until the Iunior term, the building looked immense, the subjects were difficult, and the teachers strict. We soon discovered that we were a small cozy group after all. Day after day brought us in a closer companionship with our teachers and a more revealing idea of the Ways and means of the school as a Whole. As Seniors, We were rather conceited but then We had a right to be, hadnlt We? We had almost finished four years of studying, dancing, party- ing, and sporting together. Four years of such successful accomplishments are something to be happy about and we were truly so. As, our thoughts go back on all the self-conscious mistakes made, it all seems so very quaint and humorous now. Our president, Allen McFarland, and treasurer, Robert Anderson, showed their popularity by retaining their positions for four years, and lean Locker and Wini Hayes as vice-president and secretary, held their odices for three consecutive years.
