icmon o» Lcen.4 In a meeting held early in the fall semester the officers of the Senior class were elected. Donald Findling was re-elected as presi- dent of this class, having been president in the junior year. Wil- liam Fraser was elected vice- president and Walter Bauer was chosen as secretary-treasurer. The president has charge of the meetings and appoints com- mittees. The vice-president is on these committees and the secre- tary-treasurer takes the minutes of the class meetings. C a Onaanl £ HA laen funionA The class of 1943 first organized as juniors in 1942 to prepare for the Junior- Senior Prom. At that time Donald Findling was president and Jean Holt, secre- tary-treasurer. In September of 1942, the class was reorganized and the present officers were elected. Early organization was necessary to select the members of the Valenian staff. During the year committees appointed by the president, and members of the class selected as class motto ; Knowledge is Power and a class flower, daffodil ; and class colors, maroon and white. Because of government priorities and rationing the publishing of the year book became a real problem to the staff and its sponsors. The class sacrificed the pur- chasing of class sweaters because of the war. C£a Spa n onk In conjunction with the class officers the affairs of the senior class have been under the super- vision of three sponsors. Miss Clare McGillicuddy handles all matters relative to finances. Mrs. Emma Foor helps to plan and edit the year book and Mr. Claude Pauley looks after all other class business and is espec- ially active in the graduation plans. 15
