JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class began an eventful year by holding a picnic early in the fall at Red Canyon. The Junior Play. “The Smiling Cow.” was given October 27. It was an outstanding play with excellent work displayed. On October 31, the Thespians held an inter-class play contest, in which the Juniors took second honors, while Marjorie Gordon took second honors among the girl ac trasses. November 10, the Juniors decorated the gym in red and white and gave a party. On February 17, the Juniors and Seniors together gave a Valentine party. When Declamation and Debating started, the Juniors took a leading part. Those out for Declamation were: Marguerite Campion and Eleanor Uhrlaub. Bill Kitto and Eleanor Uhrlaub were the Juniors who took part in the Debate tournaments. The Girls’ Basketball team tied with the Sophomore girls’ team for second place in the inter class tournament. Although there were few boys out for football and basketball, they earned their letters and they were outstanding in their performance. April the 27th, the biggest event of the year, PROM, was given for the Seniors. With a picnic the activities ended. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT .....„.............

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Seniors were leaders this year in athletics with seven members receiving football letters; four receiving basketball letters. The girls' basketball team again showed their metal and won first place in the tournament. This year the Class of 34 was allowed to enjoy special events which were held a secret from the other classes until the day of happening. The first of these was Rag Day with all the Seniors tearing clothes and pulling hair. Everybody had a ripping ol’ time that day. A week later we again surprised the school with the annual dress-up day with all the Seniors coming in their best togs and no place to go—except classes. Several weeks later the Seniors appeared with dolls, roller skates, and marbles to celebrate the annual Senior Kid Day. This was a banner year for the Seniors in Dramatics. The early part of the year the Thespians held a group of contest plays. The Senior Class ran off with the majority of honors, with the Class receiving first place for the best play and a Senior girl getting first place and two Senior boys receiving first and second place for the boys’ acting. The Senior play, “Skidding.” proved to be a huge success with very good acting from those in the cast. In the All-School Plays this year the Seniors were represented with several major parts and acted exceedingly well. The Class of ’34 was already represented in the Thespians and this year many new members from the Seniors were initiated into the club. Two members tried out for declamation with one receiving the honor of giving the oratory speech. The Seniors enjoyed a number of social affairs during the year. The first of these was a picnic, and it proved to be one of the best picnics we have ever had. Later in the fall a Hallowe’en party was held in the gym which was decorated with witches and black cats. To celebrate St. Valentine’s day, the Juniors and Seniors gave a dance. The gym was appropriately decorated in red and white for this occasion. Following this there was a long interval with no social events, but on April 27th—PROM. The gym was attractively decorated in three shades of yellow. The Juniors proved themselves to be perfect hosts, and we felt greatly indebted to them for this delightful event. Class Day exercises were held on May 18. At this time, the Seniors entertained the student body by presenting their program in assembly. The Senior Class of ’34 again displayed its initiative by deciding to publish an annual. The first one since 1932. On May 20th. Rev. Gatley delivered the Baccalaureate address which was very impressive, and we reached our final stepping stone in our High School careers on May 25. The students conducted their own Commencement program. The topic, “Silent Guides,” was divided into the following sub-topics: Human Guides, Critical Guides. Aesthetic Guides, Scientific Guides and Contemplative Guides. This program was very well received by the audience, and the Class of ’34 was accredited as being one of the best classes to graduate from the Florence High School. Page 20
