John Klumb Russell Perkins Marjorie Haycralt Eugene Bennett SENIOR CLASS ISTINGUISHING itself in every phase of school activity, the Senior Class of 1935, since its beginning in 1932, has brought much honor to itself and to the school, upholding and strengthening in many ways the splendid reputation which has come to he associated interminably with Stadium High School. Smallest class, numerically speaking, in three years, it has more than made up in all-around brilliance that which it lacks in quantity. It has helped instigate at least one revolutionary change at Stadium, the inauguration of the student activity plan, as well as a number of minor triumphs that will be favorably linked with the Class of '35 in years to come. ' Arriving at their last year, the members of the class elected John Klumb as their president. Prominent in athletics since his entrance into Stadium, John proved to be a popular and capable leader as did his cabinet consisting of Rusell Perkins, vice president, Marjorie Haycraft, secretary, Eugene Bennett, treasurerg Wiiiiiifred Morse, girl representative to Student Council, and Horace Whitacre, boy representative. Setting the first perfect scholarship record at Stadium with every grade an A for three years, Belle Ruth Clayman was awarded the valcdictorianship of the class. Second in scholastic brilliance was Ruth Wallerich, salutatorian, Both will speak at commencement. Muriel Heaton earned honorable mention by placing third. Derrol Rickcr as students' choice and Walter Wiiittili, chosen by the faculty, will also speak at the exercises to he held again at the Armory. That imiclraxiticipated event in the life of a senior, the senior banquet, was held Thursday, Feb, 21. Much laughter was caused throughout the evening by the jokes and amusing remarks of Bob Hurlburt, toastniaster. Talks were given by Principal Perkins and the Rev. Harold B, Long. Following the custom of previous senior ban' qucts, john Klumb presented to Archie Heaton, junior Class president, the Stadium students' creed. The program included a vocal solo by Roy Pendleton, a duct by Lco Long and Bob Derby, with banjo and violin, respectively, and toasts given by prominent seniors. For the Hrst time, the dance following thc banquet was thrown open to thc entire student body to attend, The Black Flamingo was selected to be presented as the Senior Class play--the lirst of the mystery-comedy type ever to be given. Fine performances were given May 10 and ll. Seniors taking important parts were Thelma Hicks, Roy Pendleton, Ted Steelman, Tcd Knightlinger, Mary Gillette, Mildred Zigler, Dick Names, Keith Thompson, Bill Burroughs and jane Walsworth. In the spring of 1934 the students elected vflicers for Student Council of the succeeding year, filling all four oliices with prominent seniors.

X Girls' Club, teo, went to the Senior Class for its officers, electing Muriel Heaton, president: Doris Foote, vice presidcntg Mary Dickson, secretary, and Frances Tart, treasurer. Three of the four departmental chairmen were seniors. They were: school welfare, Virginia Day, fellowship, Barbara Wilson, service, Betty Bell, and Katherine Nelson, Stadiana president. The Student Prince, presented in March as the annual Stadium musical pro! duction, was pronounced by many to he the finest, smoothest, leastfamateurish light opera ever given at Stadium. Mainly responsible for this favorable criticism were the seniors who took leading roles in the tuneful production. Among these were Helen May and Roy Pendleton, who carried the leads, and Theodore Steclman, Dick Names, Keith Thompson, Bill Burroughs, Irma Zahl and Ted Knightlinger. The Class ni '35 does not lack for outstanding students in the field of journalism. Ed Meagher was editor of The World in the fall of '34, He also served as editorial writer in the spring of '34 and sports editor of both The World and The Talioma. Howard Hammer, World editor in the spring, was sports editor in the fall, Mary Gail Harvey was editor of the 1935 Tahoma. Others prominent in journalism on The 'World and The Tahoma were Mary Dickson, winner of The World short-story contest, Doris Foote, Katherine Nelson, Belle Ruth Clayman, Betty Bell, Blossom Wescott and Ted Knightlinger. The three major Stadium sports, football, basket ball and track, had as their cap' tains Tony Zizak, John Klumb and Harold Davies respectively-all members of the Senior Class. In many other branches of school life at Stadium are found prominent seniors. Roy Myers was president of Boys' Council and a member of the Varsity basket ball and golf teams, Irvine Robbins and Eugene Bennett, yell duke and king respeetivclyq Myrtle Foss, brilliant debater who won the cup for extemporaneous speaking at the annual College of Puget Sound debate tournamentg jane Doten, tworyear debate letter winner and World staff reporter, and Ethelyn Albro, president of the Interna- tional Club. Going hack to 1932 we find the members of the class entering Stadium as sopho- mores. Under the leadership of two presidents, the class began its three-year career. Ted Chambers, first president, was forced by ill health to leave school and his place was taken by Louise Boyd, vice president. Other members of the cabinet were Marian Stuart, secretary, Jack Gander, treasurerg Cohlentz and Nancy jackson, rep- resentatives to Student Council. In their junior year, Ed Raleigh, vice prmidentg and arold Davies and I - Richer Walter Winton E151
