SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Let me tell you, little man, said Bill Woelke to Billy Bentler who sat upon his knee, let me tell you how I grew from a giggling freshman like you to a what'a-man football star as I am now. Aye, 'twas 'way back in 1931 when I put my first tack in Mr. Mc' Gibbons chair. Miss Stephens read my iirst freshman love note. The class of which I was a member precipitated, uh, I mean participated in the Follies of 1931, a very wellfplayed vodvil show. I swapped lunches with Curtis Birge at the picnic at Hall's Lake in 1932 and I got a hunk of cake whereas Curtis only got a couple of cookies. Boy, we were smart though. Of course, I wouldn't brag, but nine in our class were Torch members. Yeh, these seniors are smart all right. Dixie Lee Miller came pretty near incinerating herself with a Bunsen burner in laboratory, but at that they managed to squeeze in ten Torch members in the junior year. They have a monomania for the number eight. Eight lettermen and eight letterwomen represent their athletic ability. Eight Torch mem'bers are there to tell you how smart they are, and eight times eight represents the number that will graduate. QA few who are on the borderline between flunking and not flunking are devoutly hopeful in this respectj. Curtis Birge and Annabelle Sorensen were presidents, Bill Woelke and Dixie Lee Miller, vicefpresidents, Bob Carlson told you the minutes of the last meeting, joe Weigel held the money-bag, and Caroline Benner and Warren Savory were Board of Control members the first semester. Robert Bonney was president, Evan Morgan, vice-president, Bob Carlson, secref tary, Donald Priebe, treasurer, and Caroline Benner and Warren Savory were Board of Control members for the second semester. The following ten are rated highest in a class of 62: Martha Louise Bliss, 3.967, Richard Murphy, 3.786, Esther Harris, 3.748, Curtis Birge, 3.5, Margaret Scott, 3.433, Agnes Kanke, 3.379, john Burtis, 3.357, Ed Schoenholz, 3.321, Emilie Harries, 3281, Betty Bernhardt, 3.276. These honors were earned on a basis of points granted for each semester grade received. Each A was counted as 4 points, B, 3 points, C, 2 points, and D, 1 point. This total was then divided by the number of credits earned. The result is the rating on a 4-point scale. As the result of their ranking, Martha Louise Bliss and Richard Murphy will deliver, respectively, the valedictory and salutatory addresses at commencement. Each year the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary honor the senior class by awarding medals to one senior boy and one senior girl, in recognition of outstanding citizenship throughout high school life. The recipients of these awards for 1935 have been chosen by the faculty on the basis of service, scholarship, and leadership. Thus the ECHO is able to extend congratulations to Martha Louise Bliss and John Burtis at this early date. We are sure that from the continuance of their high school activities they will reap many more awards of distinction. They will long be remembered here as fine examples of outstanding citizenry. Some envious underclassmen may look upon the seniors as pretty lucky to have a skip day but some of the seniors surely have a different opinion on the matter. Evan Morgan was abruptly bucked off a horse, much to the delight of the girls. Bob Bonney made a swell belly flop and then got lContinued on Page 491 sixteen
