The fp)bbwil(g September they were joined by the recruits from the junior high school. Banded ' together, the class chose as their leaders, Leo Feder, president; Eleanor Beckwith, vice president; Kathleen Hughes, secretary; and Wayland Averv, ji., treasurer. Miss Madge M. Hill was the adviser. September, 193 3, saw the return of a junior class that was destined to take an active part in school life. At the beginning of the year Leo Feder was chosen class representative on the commission, while Jim Torrey was elected president. The members of his cabinet were |immv McNabb, vice-president; Doris Petty, secretary; and Clinton Kelley, treasurer. The adviser of this group was Miss M. Olwen Thomas. The annual Junior Rally was held, and while not such a financial success, it made the entire student body football conscious. Plans for the prom were well under way when all unnecessary activities were forbidden because of the infantile paralvsis epidemic. Junior girls and boys, however, were permitted to take their traditional part in the commencement exercises as usual. As high and mightv seniors the class of 193 5 appeared on the campus two hundred and fifty strong, September, 1934, eager to start at once to be the best senior class of all time. Bill Flanagan led the class successfully on its way, under the guidance of Miss M. Olwen Thomas, who now felt as though the class really belonged to her. The president ' s assistants were Rhoda Anne Williams, vice president; Thea Loe, secretary; and Don Biles, treasurer. The veteran veil leader, George Egan, after having served his class for the past two years, was chosen as a matter of course to pep up his classmates and fill them with the good old Tiger spirit. Alumni Dav proved to be a successful senior project. On March 2 Booth Tark- ington ' s farce, Tweedles, was presented as the annu.;] fcn.ior play, to a nearly full house. Nine seniors were coached by Miss Margaret Lauer to produce this hilarious comedy. Senior day broke the monctonv of the !r,;t quarter, as superior seniors ditched school for a day, leaving behind overworked students of other classes. Then the junior-senior prom appeared on the horizon, and almost before the seniors realized it, this event was history. Commence- ment day arrived and seniors received their diplomas which helped them on to new and greater achievements. Page Elevi
