The Senior Class History Four years ago, fate brought into the halls of East High a new class, fired with the ambition to achieve recognition. VVith three hundred and sixteen members, it was one of the largest classes to enter this high school. A .class wins recognition through co-operation, hard work, and outstanding in- dividuals. When such a large group has the opportunity to work together for four years, it is inevitable that leaders will develop in all the various fields of activity. The last two years of high school life necessitate picked leaders. for class activities. The Junior ofbcers were Curtis Petersohn, President, Charles Culver, Vice-President, and Anna Weisrnari, Secretary. As Seniors, the class chose Charles Culver, President, Ellsworth Drew, Vice-President, and Catherine Burkel, Secretary. In debate, Zalmon Goldsmith, Connie Choiles, Ralph Bjorseth, and Anna Weisman, found their outstanding places. Many students entered journalistic work as members of the Auroran staff, headed by the editor, Erma Swanee, and sports editor, Ralph Bjorseth. 1 i ' The wide field of activity called athletics always offers much opportunity for leaders and ability. Football had its Sebastian, four years an An man and a heavy- weight co-captain. Sullivan, Eckert, Petersohn, and Runberg were also UA men. Kobelenz, star of the tournament when a junior, Ostberg, and Walter, lightweight captain in his senior year, championed in basketball. Tennis put forth one outstand- ing star, Harvey Geist. The outstanding track men were Culver, White, and Devenney, the first two being co-captains in '3Z. The girls, too, were leaders in the activities of the school. The officers of the Girls' Club, elected when juniors, were Catherine Burkel, President, Grace Erickson, Vice-President, and Mary Alice Crane, Secretary-Treasurer. Winifred Brengle was president of the Girls' Athletic Association, and Emma Louise Boles served as presi- dent of the Silver Triangle. Scholastic records are, after all, the true achievement of an' institution of learning and mean a great deal to the students. Several students from the class of '32 have beenihonor roll students for four years: Bonnie Cortum, lklargaret Curry, Frances Eichelberger, Harvey Geist, Zalmon Goldsmith, Katharine Hassett, Ellen Jensen, Dorothy Langhammer, Edith Perrin, Dorothy Galbraith, Frances Stoffel, and Erma Swanee. With co-operation, two class plays were presented, The Perfect Alibi in the junior year, and Ladies of the Jury,', in the senior year. Despite financial depression, the class published a yearbook on its own resources, depending entirely on concessions, sales, dances, and other class promoted activities. Breaking the usual East High cus- tom, this class, because of its size, introduced a new form of commencement program at the athletic field. Thus, the journey is finished, our goal is reached. A band of three hundred and sixteen freshmen entered East High in 1928. Of those, two hundred and twenty-six remain to graduate and receive diplomas. Eager as we are to go on to new things, to enter the world and find new goals, we cannot help remembering the years in East High and the pleasures we have had together. Here's a wish of luck and success to the classes to come! , Fourtfen
