SENIQR oigassiiiisroier Scene I Time: September, 1935. Place: The El Monte Union High School Campus. Characters: Two hundred and fifty bewildered freshmen with a new adventure ahead of them, one that they will never experience again. Buildings and rooms to locate-how can a freshman be expected to cope with this situation? But why worry about these dazed little people? The Lion's spirit has encompassed them. Scene II Time: The present, june, 1939. Place: The El Monte Campus. I ' H . Characters: The same bewildered freshmen, now grown to be wise, diglnihed seniors, who returned to school September 12, 1938, with the express purposelof getting some- where, accomplishing things, and heaping honors on old El Monte High. ' For the first semester, the duty of president fell to Earl Brooks, whohgained renown in his junior year as vice-president of the student body. Among other activities, he was a member of the Hi-Y, Voice Club, varsity football team, and president of the Lion Knights. Assisting him as vice-president was Alva Smith, member of the German Club, H1-Y, and Lion Knights, chairman of the leadership class. Alva was also very active in sports, as a trackman, and football player. ' n Secretary Verla Emmett was also junior class secretary, member of the Lwinlr Trail staff, and Sub-Deb Club. She was a very popular song-leader for two years. 'lreasurer Lois VVeston was a member of the Tri-Y, Scholarship Society, G.A.A., head of the Girls Science Club, and active in other organizations. The event that marked the beginning of second semester activities was the election of officers. The presidency was filled by Archie Dennison, who had participated in many school activities as a member of the dance committee, chairman of the leadership class, and an active ollicer of the Hi-Y and Lion Knights. Harry Lawder, basketball star, and member of the Lion Knights, became vice-presi- dent. Elected secretary was Dessie Richey. She was a member of the G.A.A., Tri-Y, and ticket committee. Assisting as second semester treasurer was Gwendolyn Lentz, who was active in the Spanish Club, junior Follies cast in her junior year, Girls' Science Club, and other clubs and committees. Saint Patrick's Day, March 17, created the atmosphere for the annual Irish Dance. Dick Moore and his orchestra furnished a well-rounded dance program in a green and white setting. ' Friday, April 28, was the scene of another senior frolic. This time, however, a Barn Dance provided a different theme. Everyone was attractively farmy in his or her old clothes. Light, smooth, music and fast jitter-bug jive was rendered by Ray Schultz' orchestra. Spring Fever. What could be a more appropriate title for the june Senior Play? lt is a delightful, light comedy. The scene is laid in college, and the entire plot unfolds in the course of one day. The following were selected for roles: jack Crawford, Archie Dennison, Bill Grab, Marvin Schober, Bill Rohde, Helen Hildebrandt, Mary Wooten, Lorraine Lowell, Elaine Green, Dorothy Sims, Ruth Foote, Mary Hagerman, A. Shepherd, Kathryn Blue, Laurette Lovell, Katherine Walker, Stanley Long, Marvin Morales, and Earl Brooks. Miss Alice Wever double cast the play in order to give more students a chance to act. There were two evening performances, May 25 and May 26. The traditional Senior Prom was held Friday, june 2. Every spring the juniors put on a show, the junior Follies, to raise money for the prom they give the seniors. This year the prom was especially attractive, and since both the junior and senior classes were of a good size, it was well attended. The last week of school is always a busy one for seniors, and it is no diliferent for those.of El Monte. .Class Night, a favorite event of graduating classes, took place this year in the Columbia School Auditorium. An especially fine program was arranged. Frivolity must be-tempered with seriousness. That is a cue for the Baccalaureate, the purpose of whjch is to give the seniors encouragement for the future. A few words from older and wiser lips usually have a good effect upon young men and women. The last week was. climaxed by Commencement, Thursday, june l5. The ceremony took place in the evening on thle athletic field and was truly a beautiful spectacle. The speakers of the evening and their topics were as follows: Lois Weston, Growth of Democracy , Earl Brooks, Threats to Our Democratic Way of Life , Wynn Engle, Education and Democracy , john Malneritch, Civil Liberties , Agnes Shearer, Wel- fare Clause in the Constitution , Archie Dennison, The Pursuit of Happiness. All the luck and happiness in the world to the Senior Class of '39!
