Frank DISTINGUISHED as the only student in the history of Sta- dium to hold the presidency of his class for three years, Lee Bickenbach has successfully brought to a close the high school career of the Class of ' 37. To aid him in the social functions and the activities of the year, the following were chosen by the Senior Class in the elections of October; Vice president, Bette Perkins; secretary, Virginia hiamilton; treasurer, Kenneth Coffman; representatives to Student Council, Dorothy Hallam and Frank Mallory. For the first time at Stadium three girls with perfect records tied for the valedictory honors this year. They are Yae Takashima, hielen Sohl- berg and Marjorie Johnson. Yae and hielen were chosen by the ten stu- dents with the highest schol- astic standings to represent the class as Commencement speakers, according to rulings made last year when a situa- tion such as this was foreseen by the faculty. For the other two speakers, according to custom being boys, the class chose Paul Johns, student body president, and the faculty chose Ronald Rau, the boy with highest scholastic rating. Although the class is the largest yet to graduate, the senior honor roll is less than last year ' s. In its sophomore year the Class of ' 37 officers were: President, Lee Bickenbach; vice president, Orville Marvick; secretary, Margaret hiitchcock; treasurer, Bette Perkins; representatives to Student Council, hHarriet Gilmore and John Fortino. The next year Lee was re-elected president and the other officers were; Vice president, Cliff Rawnsley; secretary, Elizabeth Rawlings; treasurer, Kenneth Coffman; repre- sentatives to Student Council, Alan McKean and hlarriet Gilmore. The 1937 opera, Masquerade, presented April I, 2 and 3, took its cast almost entirely from the Senior Class. Margaret Pence, repeating her success in the title role of last year ' s opera, The Countess Maritza, was again in the lead, playing the part of Betty Holt. Opposite her was Glenn Parker in the role of Jan Jackson. The other speaking parts were taken by Helen Emmons, Marion Mulligan, Ward Allen, Howard Gregg, Genevieve Keil, Dick Haley, Keith Bogan, Charles Swanson, Betty Eernisse, Gretchen Kunigk and Frank Mallory. Further proving that the Class of ' 37 has dramatic ability, Shakespeare ' s As You Like It was presented May 14 and 15, with Bob Prins and Annette Friedman heading the cast. In the main supporting roles were Charles Swanson and Helen Emmons, while Jo Garretson and Fred Le Veque filled the comedy leads. The rest of the characters were ably portrayed by Jim Arntson, Walter Baldwin, Dick Haley, Hugh Williamson, Irwin Bailey, Bette Perkins, Jean Ellen Van Pelt, Katharine Clifford and Howard Gregg. Outstanding In school activities have been Pat Johns, president of the student body; Dorothy Searles, president of Girls ' Club; Helen Baisch and Marjorie Schwalen, successive presidents of Triple S, and Margaret Hitchcock, president of Stadiana. The offices of Student Council were filled entirely by seniors: President, Pat Johns: vice president. Will Glundberg; secretary, Harry Werbisky, and treasurer, Marvin Scott. Girls ' Club offices taken by senior girls were: Vice president, Elizabeth Rawl- ings; secretary, Shirley Shannon; treasurer, Esther Ostrem.
