TOM CHLOUPEK Calm and clever! These, two words describe him so aptly that they seem the outstanding feature of his personality. Whether presiding over algroup bf' clamoring Seniors or playing in a fast moving has' ketball game, the same composed demeanor and swift, sure actions characterize our Tony, His assistant editorship of the Annual, his ofhcial positions in the Athena debating society, and his memberships in, the local and national honor societies ar-e all further evidences of the great regard in which he is held and the Hne work and high rating maintained by him in his high,school career. All fine qualities of character are seldom found in '-any one individual, but Tom has his share and more of the attributes that place him-at the head of his class. JUNE CLASS Q The June Senior Class of 1933 was the largest graduating class in the history of West Division. At an early meeting, the class elected Tom Chloupek for president. Emil Siegesmund was chosen vicefpresident, Evelyn Moore, secretary, Donald Mar- tin, treasurerg and Tom Mc Hugh, sergeantfatfarms. Hot and hectic were the Senior meetings that followed election. Perhaps the most hotly debated of the meetings was the occasion on which the Seniors voted to wear semifformals and white flannels at graduation. With two hundred Seniors clamoring to speak, groups railroading motions, and sofcalled parliamentarians getting themselves and everybody else in a legal tangle, the meeting looked like a madhouse. Caps and gowns, however, were voted down and no lives lost. Among its numerous activities,'the Senior Class presented the Senior Play, k'Mrs. BumpsteadfLeigh , under the auspices of Sock and Buskin. Only Seniors were eligible for the cast. The production was quite successful, and the treasury was well compensated. The Senior reception, the only social function held by the Seniors, was held the week before graduation when all gathered for a last farewell to friends and school. High honors for four years of scholastic standing went to Matthew Rodermund who climbed to the head of his class in his sophomore year and has remained there. Matthew also received the Paeschke Medal for achieving such high honors. Second honors went to Paul Miller, and third honors went to Herbert Simon. Most of the work done by the class was done through the recommendation of committees appointed by the president. Paul Miller handled the commencement program. Charles Schumacher, as head of the printing committee, took care of announcements and tickets. Hazel Zanzig arranged for the commencement speaker. June Wollensak headed the gift committee, and Phyllis Heitman managed the social affairs. Thus the work was left in a few competent hands, as it would have been impossible for the class as a whole to handle the affairs. Mr. Weihe helped the committees in completing their work. . The class of '53 will always be rcmembered at West Division for its great number of athletes, excellent scholars, and efficient executives.
