so 0 Q THE 1932 TOTEM The Social Season Remember the snappy basketball team? Mr. Wilder worked hard so that the Seniors might have the best class team in school. We will all agree that his elforts were worthwhile. The Papoose, the Senior paper, came out every two weeks. In it were all the important facts concerningthe class. lt told of the affairs brought up in class meetings. There were also interesting articles written lwy Seniors. This paper always came out in the interval between class meetings. Mr. Wilder and the faculty advisors of the graduating class planned a guidance program. This was to help the members of the graduating group decide what college they wished to enter and what vocation they wished to follow, Who has not heard about the question sheets Mr. Wilder handed to the Seniors? All this was done in order to help each Senior in his work. The Senior Class has been very fortunate in having such a man as Mr. Wilder for its advisor. He has done marvelous work with the Seniors. The organization of this class was run on a delinite plan which brought about excellent results. We all know that Mr. Wilder is a very good pianist. We may also add that to the Seniors' advantage in having a good advisor. The Senior advisors were Miss Perkins, our well liked art teacher, Miss Reed, a capable and cheerful English teacher, Mr. Eklund, the good-natured science teacher, Mr. Charles Cooper, our acting principal, who is well liked by allg and Miss jackson, the ever smiling home economics teacher. These advisors have cooperated with the Seniors in every way to make their last year of high school both prolitable and pleasant. Now for a little past history of the class. In September, IQQO, the Junior Class held an election of ollicers. joe Dellamano was chosen president, Marie Hoffman, vice- president, Julia Earing, secretary, and Kent Sandford, treasurer. Miss Scholes was the faculty advisor. The Junior Class held a rally in celebration of the only home football game, ln ilune, 1931, theuluniors held the Prom and a picnic. We hope the class will continue their good work after they have disbanded upon graduation to set Ollf onto the great highways of life.

The committee decided to be original by charging twenty- nine cents for one person or forty-nine cents for two, as admission. The Senior play was held on March 18th and 19th. This also proved to be a success. There were many other scoial functions but probably the one best remem- bered will be Class Night. Everybody turned out for this and enjoyed a good, hearty laugh. To say the least. Eleanor Lundquist carried the class through a very suc- cessful social season. The Money-Raising Committee with Miss 'jackson as its advisor, did a great deal for the class. At the football games they sold candy, thus procuring extra money. On this committee were Rose jordan, Ralph Leinbach, the Rockow twins, George Vollmer and Eleanor Lundquist. The committee with the task of selecting the rings was under the direction of Read Mcl.ean. As you have all seen the rings you know what a good piece of work Read did. The Seniors also had an advertising committee which had charge of all the publicity work in connection with class activities. Perhaps you remember the posters and also the announcements in assembly. Very clever, weren't they? Miss Perkins and Mr. Cooper were in charge of these affairs.
