RESUME .. . ' The end of another school year—quite an eventful one too. The first semester filled to the brim with parties, football and basketball games!

The second semester started right out with a bang—a party the first thing .....then that high school play The Goose Hangs High. What an entertainment! Did anyone fall to the tricks that magician pulled for us?.....And the way the crowds packed the assembly room for the Benefit Ball was simply astounding. The Senior boys felt a little gyped when the girl members walked off to the reception given them by the Business Women.......and what eats, music, and fun we had at the Athletic Banquet.

M ' 4IUmi©IFU r- • •. 1i ?• .- SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When we entered Greenville High School in 1930, teachers and upperclassmen could see that we were not of the common run of Freshmen. Instead of being frightened by the scornful and amused glances of the Insufferable Sophomores, the High and Mighty Juniors, and the Dignified Seniors, we stared them down with looks ■courageous and challenging. We elected Thomas Sharpe, president; George E. Ranney, vice president; Barbara Rltzema, secretary; and Dorothy Davis, treasurer. Much to the chagrin of the other classes, that first semester we took first place in the competitive class assemblies—the only time this has ever been done by Freshmen. Not satisfied with this one achievement, we won the trophy in four out of the five assemblies we gave. The outstanding event of our second year was the Freshman-Sophomore Leap Year Party. Officers for that altogether successful year were Dale Watts, Thomas Sharpe, Douglas Rasmussen, and Anna Becker. . For our Junior year, we elected Robert Marshall, president; Paul Blunt, vice president; Milllson Ranney, secretary; and Anna Becker, treasurer. The class was well represented in the High School play by several members who had leading parts. Although, our time and resources have been limited this yean, led by the class officers, George E. Ranney, Anthony Spano, Marguerite Smith, and Grace Rhoades, we have tried to make the most of what we have had. The Keyhole has proved Itself a big success, -and we have tried to make this issue substitute in a small way for the loss of the Hi-Life. The Big Idea was said by many to be perhaps the best school play ever presented here, and the Junior-Senior Prom was a grand party. All in all, we have lived up to our motto Esse quam vlderl which translated is To be rather than to seem. Edna Bauragarden——-------------------------- Children's department, please.

Our first leaders were one of the red-headed twins, Arnie Olsen, president; Sir Tommie' Pilkinton, vice president; Maxine Sharpe, secretary; and Donnie Johnson, treasurer. We made our debut in our first assembly program when we presented a play rewritten from the story Jimmy Valentine. The big hero was Mertle Kraas playing opposite Josie Svendsen. We made a keen comeback the next year because we felt so grown-up. Arnold Wood was our president; Jo Svendsen, vice-president; Mary Ellen Christensen, secretary; and Clella Conger, treasurer. That big strong man, Howard Sharpe, is our class president this year with Donald Johnson, vice president; Julia Waterman, another rad-head, secretary; and Phid Byrne, treasurer. So far we haven't made much money because of the Depression, but our highest ambition for next year is to publish a real annual. Till • then, goodbye.

Perhaps our importance this year is due to the hard work we put into our studies and activities last year. We had as capable leaders then: Merle Eichelberg, Ruth Clement, Katherine Tuttle, and Jack Christensen. We gave The Understanding Heart as our assembly program. This year with Mary Anderson as president and the other class officers: Harold Olsen, Verle David, and Sue Bower, we have gone still higher in the educational ladder. 0ur most outstanding event was the Freshmen-Sophomore party given this Spring.

We have been withyju since September and. plan on staying awhile longer. • • We're quite the upstarts and have lots of pep, but we can really put things across in a dignified and complete manner once we get started, and under the leadership of L.A. Hansen, our president, we have made much progress. We have bpen present at most all the high school parties, and with the Sophomores sponsored our own party of which we were very proud. . .

With the financial backinG of the townspeople, with the assistance of coaches A. Alllnder and E. Reynolds, and led by Captain Earle Lewis, Greenville produced a taan that lost only two games aur-inG the season and placed second in the six B conference. Greenville won .from Boldine, lit. Pleasant, and Ionia; tied Bic Rapld3 and St. Johns; and bowed only to Aina and East Grand Rapids, both defeats being by close scores. , By tyinc Bic Rapids, Greenville was classed as one of the strongest teans in the conference. After winninc the conference chanpionship, B1g Rapids went on to win the Northern State Championship by defeating the Cadillac Vikings. By our high conference rating, three nenbers of the team attained the honor of all conference selections. These were Keith Lincoln, tackle; Leon Burgess, guard; and Earle Lewis,halfback.

Alllnder produced a basketball tean in the season of 1933-34 that won nine games and lost four, and plnced'-third in the six 3 conference. The team was led by Captain Paul Blunt. The loss of Filkins and Captain Blunt Severely handicapped the tean temporarily, but they soon found their stride and kept on a winning streak. In the district tournament at Grand Rapids the team in their first game defeated Ionia by a score of 32 to 17. However, in their second encounter they were defeated by Grand Ihven 44 to 8. Grand Haven went on in the finals to become Slate Class 3 champions. 7 ith plenty of reserve material and several lettermen, next season will be looked forward to as a promising one.
