CASE AGAINST THE SENIORS tContinued from page fourteenj Of all the trips I'm getting in on . . . that Math Club trip to Akron! going thro' the plant was terrible, but what fun we had afterwards-airplane rides and? ? ? Ec. and Commercial Law classes went to Cleveland - saw oodles of money - delicious cookies at VVard Baking Co .... looked queer under lights at Plain Dealer Bldg. read- ing next week's funnies . . . girls couldn't resist bus driver's smile . . . Hurray! Gorske was elected president of the senate. Can I pick 'em or can I pick 'em? My first Prom-my first formal. It was a thrill to crash through and go with a senior. Larry Gill, that man thrills me. About twenty-two of us met afterwards at tcensoredj 'memberi' Ugh! VVonder how much sand it takes to kill one-certainly ate enough to-at the class picnic at Crystal-oh, that roller coaisterf J J And Dear Diary, This has bee11 one glorious week-end. lVillbonds' let the Fine Arts use their cot- tage. Hi-Y came out to dance . . . beach party at one a. ln. with a two courageous souls swimming . . . Hiked to Crystal and talk about sunburn but rode back in a Lincoln-Zephyr with the cutest fellow. What I need most now though is sleep! Commencement was nice-we ushered-the seniors looked grand in their caps and gowns-impressive ceremony. Just think, next year- SEPTEMBER 8, 1936 Seniors! ! But where is our much talked about dignity? Can't find mine, but per- haps in time welll be shining examples for O. H. S.-or will we? Big social event! The class had an election party and it really was one wild time. Lee, Buss, and Persons were the candidates for tl1e Lollypop, Hot Dog, and Pop- corn party respectively. Clever idea, especially the samples-bribes! Wheel lVorcester was elected president for the fourth consecutive ti111e, with Charlotte Cline as vice pres. His able assistants are Lilian VVillbond, sect., Frank Spelbrink, treas., and Camille Skalak and James Murphy as reigning social chairmen. Bohrer, Fowls, Hurst, Reinhard, Spelbrink, and Throner are in Hi-Y this year. Persons got the presidency and Buss is vice. lVe are to wear caps and gowns for Commencement-white for girls, navy blue for boys. Also decided to have an Annual which is a load off my mind. Imagine a senior class without one! Annual football banquet at the Inn celebrating the greatest athletic season of O. H. S. I thought the banquet was swell--the speakers were all right too. Coach Ott is getting used to it by now. I'll always be reminded, of this year by the gold football I received. lVish I could come back next year. Ifll really miss it. Went in for culture in a big way-some of the senior Eng. class went to see Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that Fats Waller was in Cleve- land at the same time. The Glee Clubs gave Christmas Eve in Merrie England tonight, and it was so el'- fective-the songs and the pantomine went well together. I just love Christmas and all that sort of thing. This afternoon Helen and I stayed for F. H. A.-officers were elected. Helen Zbydnowski was chosen vicepresident and Joyce, secretary. C6 , tContinued on page thirty-sixj Fug: thirty
