SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Freshmen under the faithful leadership of Miss Libby, be- came accustomed to the ways and means of our new undertaking-that of a high school education. Ascending out of the deep chasm of the usual Freshman flippancy, we soon faced our second term as Sophomores. A fine class this was, being the first to introduce the now popular and most successful barn dance, taking the place of the usual hop . Miss De Vries, the faculty adviser, with the aid of our president, Philip De Gregory, saw us through this new ordeal. Scarcely had we chance to let the success of the Sophomore Class settle, when we found ourselves confronted by our Junior term. We started off with a bang, having successfully presented the play, Skidding , under the direction of Miss Edwards. Then came the main social event of the whole school term which everyone looked forward to with grand enthusiasm-the Junior Prom- enade. The set-up was outstanding. Pine trees set behind White picket fences completely surrounded the auditorium. Trellises embodied with roses, flashy benches, twinkling stars and moon, a wishing well, and a most delightful aroma of fresh pine were all included in this million- dollar atmosphere. Mrs. Rogers was our faculty adviser, with Edgar Weber, our class president. Then came our Senior year, a feeling of precedence crept through our veins. We were Cat least we thought We were! the elite of the school. Through strenuous studying and striving, we passed the first semester-successfully. The officers of our class were chosen: Philip De Gregory, presi- dentg Edward La Beur, vice-presidentg Genevieve Kerr, secretary, Henry Opt Hof, treasurer. Then came that-oh, so different-Senior play, Murder in Re- hearsal , filled with suspense and nerve-wracking excitement. Mrs. Phelps, our class adviser, deserved all the credit for her unfaltering coaching of the play which turned out so successfully. Before we realized it, the end of the term was drawing near. Many of us saw ourselves out looking for jobs, others saw themselves study- ing further to reach higher levels, but all of us wished we were Freshmen all over again, joining hands with our friends who were yet to see this day.
