IANUARY CLASS OFFICERS H N. ERIC BATHEN It has been said that officers of a graduating class, or any other class, for that matter, are not necessary to the successful and efficient function- ing' of a body of students. It is further contended that we come to school primarily for an education and by the time We learn our class room lessons efficiently there won't be time left for other activities. Of course, those who are familiar with high school life know this is not true. One of the most important elements in the moulding of a Successful high school career is what we do with our time when our studies are completed. The personality of a school weighs heavily on the activities of its students and particularly the seniors, because they have been here longer than other students. Therefore, the selection of officers of the most outstanding group in the school, simply means '-s..-fri FLORENCE TODD the selection of the most outstanding students of the most outstanding group. Many are the problems that come before the officers of a graduating class. The January 1935 class was most fortunate in the naming of a fine quartet of students to carry on its many and varied activities. For some reason or other-probably good judgmentffew if any students are ever selected by a graduating class who are not a credit to themselves, their parents, their class and their school. lt's the same old story in January l935! The class officers really typify the fine spirit of young American manhood and womanhood found among the personnel of their own class. The senior high school has been proud of the january 1935 class and will always be proud of that fine group of students. 43' L ,. KIRBY JANE RYAN is HARRIET MERWIN -Z0--

me Nh MISS ETHEL SIMPSON On january 14, the senior play, The Black Flamingo, was presented to a bulging house at the l'laza theater. This was a dandy play and was directed by liugene .X. de llermida, who with Miss jones, are the drama instructors. CLASS ACTIVITIES The most outstanding event of the senior year was the senior dance held at the Sacramento memorial auditorium on the evening of january 18. Florence Todd, vice president of the january senior class, and janet May, vice president of the june senior class, worked together as co-chairmen. This dance always is the outstanding social affair of the year and bearing this in mind in addition to the fact that previous senior classes have left such fine senior dance records, Florence and janet extended themselves to see that this year's affair was a banner one. Faculty as well as lucky students who were privileged to attend the affair are one in agreeing that the senior dance this year was one of the very finest ever planned and promoted by combined senior classes. During the low senior semester the january class in cooperation with the Cat that timej high junior class, staged a junior prom. The dance was known as The Goose Gallop and was under the leadership of the respective vice presidents of the two junior classes. This dance was talked and discussed for weeks- it was such a success. ' About the middle of the final semester in school for the hlanuaryites, the council members enjoyed a dance at the Willialtl Land Clubhouse. .Xlthough a group of officers in a class are responsible to a large extent for the success of that organization, much credit always should go to the sponsor. Miss Ethel Simpson has served as sponsor of this class from the time the Colonel de llermida had fine talent to work with and he demonstrated what happens when excellent talent is coached by an excellent student of dramatics--a wonderful play. During the high senior semester under the leadership of Eleanor Carli, two editions of the class paper The Yell Leader, were published. The papers were good, which was due to the fact that Eleanor was X-Ray editor and knew how to go about things because of her journalism training. Officers for the low senior semester were: Carter Kilborn, presidentg Eleanor Carli, vice presidentg Margaret Savage, secretary, and Barbara Wagner, treasurer. At graduation the officers of the class were: Eric Bathen, presidentg Florence Todd, vice presidentg Kirby Ryan, secretary, and Harriet Merwin, treasurer. students entered school as lowly low sophomores until their graduation as high seniors. Through- out the three year period Miss Simpson has devoted much of her time and effort toward aid- ing the class in every possible way. All the students of the class have learned to love and respect Miss Simpson for her kindly spirit and ever willingness to aid and cooperate in any project that was launched by the class. Of course, a sponsor cannot bring unqualified success to a class without any help, but a sponsor is in a position to look out for the best interests of those students in her charge and can accom- plish very much toward their happiness as an efficient and well-knit organization. It is hoped by the students who have learned to appreciate her that it will be the good fortune of other classes in the years to come to have an opportunity to utilize the talent and understand- ing manner of Miss Ethel Simpson. -21...
