Eugene Pepple Doris Dawson Eugene Ciolek President Secretary-Treasurer Vice-President The Class of 1935 Four years ago a crowd of ambitious young students joined hands and entered the portals of Isaac C. Elston Senior High School eager to reach their main goal—graduation! In their freshman year, Eugene Pepple was elected president; Sally Stevens, vice-president; and Leo Kominiarek, secretary-treasurer. The girls were honored at a tea given by the Girls’ League. Both boys and girls were entertained by the sophomores at the annual Freshman-Sophomore party held in the Barn . When the class became sophomores, Eugene Pepple was again elected president; Leo Kominiarek was chosen vice-president; and William Vergane, secretary-treasurer. This time the Class of '35 were hosts to the freshmen at the Freshman-Sophomore party. The affair was a huge success, because of the help of Mrs. Bell and Mr. Maxey, class sponsors. Finally attaining the distinction of being called upperclassmen, the Class cf '33 elected Eugene Pepple president for the third time. Armilda Allison was chosen vice president, and Lois Fabian, secretary-treasurer. The Junior play, Her Friend the King , with Dorothy Austin as the leading lady and Maurice Mahns as the hero, was hailed as a sparkling bit of entertainment by everyone. Miss Dahlberg and Mr. Smith, class sponsors, did much in making the annual Junior Prom a delightful and entertaining occasion. Seniors at last! Officers elected were: Eugene Pepple, president; Eugene Ciolek, vice-president; and Doris Dawson, secretary-treasurer. Seniors elected to the Honor Society were: Eugene Pepple, Raymond Robeson, John Erickson, Maurice Mahns, Eugene Ciolek, Char-leen Lukow, Genevieve Barenie, Janie Ruth Herring, Annetta Mae Nichols, Genevieve Miller, Hazel Dirks, Lois Fabian, Rose Neid, Armilda Allison, Jean Robinson, Bertha Rohder, and Lois Stinchcomb. Eighteen people started work on the Elstonian. On April 3, the Senior Class play, The Importance of Being Earnest , coached by Miss Shepherd, was presented. The leading roles were taken by Doris Daw-Goldie Shepherd son, Maurice Mahns, Erma Fox, and Sponsor John Erickson. James H. Griffin Sponsor
