Mr. Mathews gives Mr. NIcKeIvey facts about the Senior Cafeteria for the New Fort. SENIOR OFFICERS JACK DONOVAN .................. President EVA WINELAND .... .... V ice President REBA JAMES ..... Secretary BILL HEGAN ..... Treasurer On to Washington . . CAPABLE LEADERS OF UPPERCLASSMEN Mr. Mathews and Mr. McKelvey directed senior activity in both home room and class. Besides teaching Problems of Democracy and French, Mr. Mathews devoted much of his time to helping the seniors plan various projects which would finance the graduates' trip to Washington in the spring. Prob- ably the outstanding achievement of the government class was conducting a poll of presidential votes in the community which forecast quite accurately the outcome of the election locally. Seniors in Mr. McKel- vey's home room appreciated the additional privilege of associating outside of class with an English professor who can read Shake- spearean lines so dramatically. All upper- classmen enjoyed literature and composi- tion classes with Mr. McKelvey. While seniors struggled to discover what was rot- ten in the State of Denmark. the juniors enjoyed the chivalry and romance in The Idylls of the King. Page Ten
