SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ew guessed how capably and completely the freshmen entering in Ian- uary and September of 1939 would commandeer the field of curricular and extra-curricular activity in their four years of attendance. An extraordinarily early movement for class organization began in Miss Louise Larnmer's boys' home room and resulted in the election of officers and sponsor before the end of April, 1940, john Vaughn was elected president: Betty McKenzie, vice-president: lim Harmon, secretaryg and Mary Detrick, treasurer. Mr. William Anderson was elected sponsor. A picnic held May 25. 1940, at the Boy Scout Camp Wildwood marked the first of a series of class affairs. The sophomore year was devoted to pleasure almost entirely: a hay ride terminating at the Quaker Maid Camp and a skating party at the Third Avenue Rink in the fall of 19405 a swimming party at the Student Union Building on February 17, 1941. Another skating party, H43 Skidoo in April, and another hay ride in june closed the year's fun. Two precedents were broken in the last of the year. A carnival, The May Gaines , sponsored by the class but involving the whole school, was held the evening of May 23, 1941, and was the first pro- ject to fill the class treasury. Finances are usually allowed to drift until the junior year. The second broken precedent was that of ordering the class rings for delivery at the first of the junior year instead of delaying orders until that time. When the juniors returned in the fall of 1941, they found that Mr. Ander- son had retired to business and that they were without a sponsor. The election decisively termed Miss Grace DeVaney the new class sponsor. After a heated debate, for which the class is known, the mechanics of class government were altered, and an executive committee of Marjorie Pugh, Martha Bays, Norma Risley, james Harmon, Bill Boyle, and Overton Pender- gast was elected in a class meeting to assist the officers in management. Iohn Vaughn had been re-elected to presidency. ln mid-term he became a senior, and jim Aitken replaced him from the position of vice-president. Bob Nicosin took Aitken's place.
