. THE PENNANT JUNE CLASS y-fgggw AY back in the spring se- mester of 1931, the June if freshmen got together on PM 'A the bleachers in the gym and chose Mr. William Moss as spon- sor. Later we elected the following officers: president, Maurice Treneer: vice president, Dean Holdeman: sec- retary, Frank Capps: treasurer, Larry Newman: social chairman, Verna Olsen. The class held a party in the gym on the last day of school. Early the following fall, our new classmates from Roosevelt met with us to elect officers. They were as fol- lows: president, Dean Holdeman: vice president, Joe Rinaldi: secretary, Mary Elizabeth White: treasurer, William Deitch: social chairman, Verna Olsen. Mr. Moss was unani- mously re-elected sponsor, a position which he held throughout the re- mainder of our high school career. Another party was held during the sophomore year. All the officers were re-elected for the second semester of this Year. Officers for the first half of the junior year were: president, Dan Ball: vice president, John Smithers: secretary, Verna Olsen: treasurer, Miriam Smeltzer: social chairman, Dean Holdeman, The class sold candy at several of the football games. Second semester officers included president, Dan Ball: vice president, Dean Holdeman: secretary, Verna Olsen: treasurer, Miriam Smeltzer: social chairman, Joe Ackley. In our senior year we elected Dean Holdeman, president: Verna Olsen, vice president: Miriam Smeltzer, sec- retary: Wendell Wright, treasurer: and Joe Ackley, social chairman. For the last semester the following mem- bers of our class served as officers: president, Dean Holdeman: vice president, John Smithers: secretary, Jeanette Cole: treasurer, Franklin Swartz: social chairman, Mary Eliza- beth White. Our last class party was held in the gym in April. Two of the main features of our senior year were Senior Day and the Senior Banquet. Senior Day took the student body and the factulty mem- bers on a trip to Hollywood to see all the famous movie stars. This proved to be a very enjoyable entertainment. Our banquet, which was held in the high school cafeteria, was well at- tended. Interesting addresses were given by Mr. J. W. Holdeman: Mr. J. F. Wiley: our sponsor, Mr. Wil- liam Moss: our president, Dean Holdeman: and other members of the class. Dancing was later - enjoyed in the gym. To our faithful spon- sor, Mr. Moss, who has Worked with us for four years, we acknowledge our indebtedness. In spite of many other de- mands on his time, he has always shown us an unfailing good humor, a willingness to help in all of our problems, and a commendable ability to see them from the students' view- point. Motto: The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. Flowers: Tea roses and pale lav- ender sweet peas. Colors: Peach, lavender and sil- ver. JANUARY CLASS The January Class of 1934 was organized when we were second se- mester freshmen. We chose Mrs. Ada H. Sickels as our sponsor, in which capacity she served the entire four years. We elected Joe Ackley as presi- dent: William Best, vice president: Jean Whitney, secretary: Richard Gates, social treasurer: and Raymond Rice, chairman. The same officers were re-elected for the second semes- ter. During the year the class held a party at Christiana Lake, Where we had a picnic supper. Swimming, dancing and boating were enjoyed. We also sponsored a Washington jit- ney dance. In our sophomore year we elected as president, William Best, who re- tained the office the second semester. The other officers were Raymond Rice, vice president: Frank Pugliese, secretary: Richard Gates, treasurer: and Walter Fitzsimmons, social chair- man. The next semester the vice president was Walter Fitzsimmons: secretary, Mary Wattles: treasurer, Lucille Foltz, and social chairman, Raymond Rice. During this year we had a hard times party which was enthusiastically received, and a dance. In 1933, which was our junior year, we chose Raymond Rice for our president: Frank Pugliese, vice presi- dent: Richard Gates, secretary: Wal- ter Fitzsimmons, treasurer, and Wil- liam Best, social chairman. These of- ficers were also chosen for the first- half senior year. In our final semes- ter, the officers were Dorothy Duni- van, president: Frank Pugliese, vice president: secretary, Elma Lyndall: Mary Wattles, treasur- er, and James Spry, so- cial chairman. A clever freshman party was held in the gym: we dressed as we had when we en- tered high school. A very interesting Senior Day program was given, which dis- played the unsuspected talents of many mem- bers of our class. It was in the form of a side show, with a glimpse into the future. Our class banquet was well attended: the theme was A Century of Prog- ress, which was carried out with various features such as Hollywood, Wings of a Century, and the Sky Ride. Speeches were given by Mr. Wiley, Mr. Holdeman, Mrs. Sickels and several members of the class. Mrs. Sickels was presented with a gift. Dancing was enjoyed later. The class was very fortunate in having Mrs. Sickels as its sponsor. Her alertness, her keen interest and her active share in all our class activi- ties, as well as her excellent judg- ment, have contributed largely to whatever success we may have achieved. Motto: Let us choose that nar- row way that leads no traveler's foot astray. Flowers: Sunburst roses, sweet peas. Colors: Peach, blue and silver, In our junior year, the January class joined with the June class in giving the junior prom and the junior class play, New Brooms, both of which were very successful. The prom was held in May at the Er- skine Country Club in South Bend, to the music of Myron Waltz and his orchestra. The decorations were airplanes, balloons and dirigibles car- rying out the theme of 'LUp in the Air. The two classes had a dance in the junior year. Myron Waltz and his orchestra also played for this event and it was attended by many of our student body. The rings and pins, selected in our junior year, were well liked by everyone. In our senior year we selected as our senior class play, A Successful Calamity. This was given on May 11, with a fine cast. It was very ably directed by Miss Winternitz, and was well attended.
