The 1933 M y n d e r n Cousin, Story, Hamill Senior Officers Edward Hamill . Helen Lawrence Carl Rogers . Nellie Ward . . . . Miss Julia H. O’Brien . President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Adviser For three short years we have been wishing Mynderse graduates the best of luck, scarcely realizing that each departing delegation brought us closer to the “seats of the mighty.” As freshmen, 1933 seemed an imaginary number; Room 19, another world. After electing John Cousin, president; we were content to busy ourselves with confusing schedules. Our extra-curricular activities were confined to athletics, in which we truly excelled. We emerged from the freshman forest and started happily along the sophomore trail, leaving the beaten trail often to celebrate our successes by parties. We participated in all school activities along the way. At length we reached steep upperclassman hill and started resolutely up the incline. Eddie Hamill guided us capably up the hard climb. Level places in our up-hill journey were marked by our all-school masquerade and our successful dramatic effort, “The Millionaire,” with a double cast making it twice as exciting. The summit was reached; Regents hurled us into the valley below, and again we celebrated by feting the seniors in one of the finest proms ever. We had reached the top of the hill, and saw close at hand the coveted senior valley. We are there now, and it is beyond our fondest dreams. We are reaping the fruits of our three year’s climb and are looking back lovingly at the well-worn trail. The traditional Senior Tea held October sixth was delightful; and “The Inner Circle,” our play, provided conversation for many weeks, as well as unearthing more latent talent. The holiday season brought the Senior Ball, and once more the gym was bedecked with gay Christmas decorations and filled with merry dancers. The most significant milestones of senior history are ahead; our year-book, the record of our Mynderse journey, and our diplomas, the proof of our scholastic attainments. 12
