THE MONROVIAN i WINTEIQ CLASS CONTRARY to the opinion that the mid-term graduating class is rather insignificant, this year's class in- cluded several persons outstanding for their various activities. joe Svein- son received the T. C. Rogers award, which is given each year to the senior boy who has the best athletic, citi- zenship, and scholarship record. Sev- eral of the other boys also gained recognition for themselves by their athletic and dramatic prowess. Anna Karp, who sang at the Associated Students' meetings several times and who had the feminine lead in the operetta, Pickles, also was a mem- ber of this class. One of the first duties of the class after its organization was the selec- tion of a class ring or pin. After con- siderable discussion, the class decided in favor of a handsome gold mono- gram ring. The announcements for graduation were printed at the school print shop, largely under the direc- tion of joe Sveinson. The usual custom of senior ditch- day was observed by the class at Ice- house Canyon, january l2. What with toboganning, dancing, snow- balling, and theexpected number of casualties, everyone managed to have a good time. At the commencement exercises Thursday morning, january 26, twen- ty graduates received their diplomas. Reverend Canon E. B. Smith offered the invocation. Mr. Scott's combined junior and symphony orchestra played a small suite from the operas of C-luck. Mr. George C. Bush, president of the County Board of Education and Superintendent of the South Pasa- dena Schools, gave the address. His talk, altho intended mainly to be in- spirational to the graduates, proved 26 equally interesting to all who heard it. Following the address, Anna Karp sang a solo. The class was presented by Mr. j. Warren Ayer, Superintend- ent of Schools. Dr. A. L. Smith, presi- dent of the Board of Education, awarded diplomas to the following: Edith Theresa Anderson, Madge Do- reen Detrick, Florence Adelaide Eb- erly, Freda Mae Hubener, Mutsumi lwamura, Anna Karp, Mary Earlene McKinney, Ruth Alison Peckham, Donald Hillmore Finn, Teddy Alfred Ford, Fred William Hicks, Louis Hen- ry Kniep, Helmut William Mecke, john Henry Myers, Harold Robey, j. Fred Russell, Roy C-iltner Spafford, joe Sveinson, Albert Harold Tuttle, Lester G. Wagner. The class officers were Lester Wagner, president: Mary McKinney, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Mar- jorie Hitchcock, class adviser. PRESlDENT'S MESSAGE lT CERTAINLY has been a pleasure to have served as Student Body Presi- dent for the first semester. Through the splendid cooperation of the stu- dents, the student body affairs were successful. We are facing a critical period in the history of school admin- istration, and my greatest hope is that student affairs will be able to con- tinue as they have in the past. l extend my best wishes to next year's president, and I hope that he will have a successful year. I always will cherish the memory of my senior year in high school as one of my fondest. I wish to extend my best wishes to my fellow class- mates, and l hope that they will be successful in whatever they endeavor to do. -Norbert Bundschuh.

Club Aclivilief IIX members of the Scholarship So- ciety received their C.S.F. pins at a meeting of the Associated Students, February 22. To be a gold seal grad- uate, one must have belonged to the Scholarship Society at least six se- mesters, one of which must have been in the senior year. Marion Fel- berg, Anna Marjorie Loomis, Mary Hope Wood, Mercedes Langlie, Carl Ballentine, and Elmer Larson were the students honored. fy.,- The purpose of the World Friend- ship Club is to promote a feeling of international understanding and friendliness toward students of other nations. At the December meeting of the club, Louis Arens spoke about Germany and her pre-war school sys- tem. His talk was instructive, as well as interesting. Robert D. Finlayson, a World War veteran, told some experiences of his while in the British army, at a meet- ing of the club, February 28. ,-..f.i.-, Forty-five enthusiastic students banded together in january to enjoy new adventures in the land of Beau- ty, and organized the Art Club. At the first meeting of the year in jan- uary, the following officers were elected: Annetta Lytle, president, Helen Leonard, vice-president: Nedra Coleman, secretary, and joe Craig, treasurer. Miss Chess is the faculty adviser. On February l6 the club journeyed to Exposition Park, where the mem- bers visited the museum and art exhibits. -...ups In the second quarter the Block M sponsored a dance, which was held at the Monrovia Woman's Clubhouse, November 24, in celebration of the Monrovia-Muir Tech Thanksgiving Day football game. The dance was open to students of Monrovia and Muir Tech High Schools, and each school was well represented. Con- trary to custom, alumni members were not admitted. The dance was a success and proved one of the high- lights of the l932-33 school year. f-.f.x's ln the second quarter, besides its regular meetings, the Monrovia Hi-Y was host to the San Gabriel valley Hi-Y Conference, held a wiener bake in the San Gabriel wash, and had a day's outing in the snow at Camp Baldy. The highlight of the second quarter was Girls' Night. Members brought their girl friends and after supper took them to a show. .-...Q During the winter months, the Circle M held several business meet- ings. Members, along with those of the G.A.A., attended the play-day at South Pasadena in February. Since all the members also belong to the G.A.A., the Circle M takes part in practically all the activities of the G.A.A. The Circle M, however, is a restricted organization and, at the present time, has only fourteen members. Mrs. Yenney is the adviser.
