 THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The audience, consisting of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, sits snickering while the first scene of the picture commences. As the picture begins we find a large class, which is: Hob Rivers, La Verne Miller, Carl Jeffries, Mary Turner, Mary Lucille Griffith, Elizabeth Schlapfer, Naomi Stith, Mary Gertrude Alsup, Millie Lofgren, Oma Men it. Hattie Stirling. Bill Winkle. Fern Carlson. Kenneth Daubin, and Lester Jessie, idling the hours away. Mr. Humphrey, the class sponsor, and Mary Lucille Griffith, the class president, don t seem to be able to do much with this giggling, green class; so we pass to the second sceife. The second scene is somewhat like the first, but Millie Lofgren. Kenneth Daubin. Lester Jessie, and Bill Winkle have left the uprising class, while Ruth Hurt, Orda Swan, Margaret Boothroyd, Donald Dev, and Howard Stogil have joined it. The class so far has seemed to be an unambitious class, for under the sponsorship of Miss Haynes with Bob Rivers as president, the class again leads an uneventful year. The third scene does look more hopeful. This year finds Howard Stogil, Orda Swan, Fern Carlson and Oma Merrit gone. Helen Thorne joins the class in this year and proves to be a student with quite a quantity of brains. Mary Turner, the class president, Mary Lucille Griffith the vice-president, and La Verne Miller the secretary and treasurer have much work to do under the sponsorship of Miss Winifred Karr, for the class is having many activities in this memorable year. The class this year gives several bridge benefits and parties, the most successful of them being the Junior Progressive Dinner. The class as a whole works hard to make the banquet a success. Their hopes are fulfilled, for the Junior-Senior Banquet of 19115 is one of the best ever given in the history of the school. A play, “Sound Your Horn,” is put over with a bang, all the students doing very well in their parts. The Juniors also have a kid day, in which all the class dresses in little children's clothes and act silly all day. The fourth scene is one of most importance. Now as the scene begins the class is composed of high-and-inight.v Seniors and this time they are smiling down upon the underclassmen. Many eventful things happen in this outstanding year, with Miss Karr again as the class sponsor and Helen Thorne as class president working hard to make a success of everything that the class will undertake. Mary Lucille Griffith again receives the honor of being the vice-president and Hattie Stirling is elected as the secretary and treasurer. Three new members join the class: Phyllis Andrews, Glenn Jackson, and Lee Wright, making a class of thirteen — eight girls and five boys. The class gives a successful play, “Who Wouldn't Be Crazy.” A Freshman Day is started by the Seniors of thirty-six which is somewhat like an initiation. Class day is held with the whole school as an audience, and the class will, prophecy, and history are read. During the last weeks of school the class is busy with many activities, Sneak Day. Junior-Senior Prom. Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Everyone receives his diploma and the final scene ends, leaving the class looking at the great future which now lies ahead of them. —Naomi Stith and Hattie Stirling.
