 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.
