HAZEL BEAVER Hazel Beaver--quiet, modest, efficient, serious when occasion demands-qualities every girl should be glad to possess-the only girl ever to be elected president of a senior class-an ex- cellent scholar, a fine main monitor, an efficient library worker -a national honor society member-a favorite among her classmates . . . lust a few reasons why Hazel was so capable as a class president and so popular with her classmates. February Class For the first time in the long history of West Division, a girl was elected president of the February class of l936. Hazel Beaver proved to be one of the most efficient preident West has ever had. The class elected Ethel Bauer as vice president and lane Benson as secretary. The offices of treasurer and sergeant-at-arms was filled by Allan McGovern and Robert Priebe. Ethel Bauer, the popular vice president of the class, stepped out with first honors. Iohn Gay- lord ran a close second, and Hazel Beaver, third .... On the evening of Ianuary 24, the stately old halls of West Division were transformed into a bedlam of commotion and noise. Students and teachers were found running up and down stairs, through the tunnel, and into the attic, hand in hand, laughing and out of breath. A treasure hunt, the feature of our senior party, was in progress. The party was one of the most success- ful ever attempted. Faculty and students joined together for one last good time .... The scene has changed to one of pomp and stateliness. Parents and guests are crowded in- to the auditorium of the Girls' Technical High School. At last the orchestra begins the entrance march, and rows of now very solemn and digni- fied young people, in gray caps and gowns, file to their seats for the all-student commencement program. Through the mind of each student fash various thoughts. We have arrived at the cross- roads for the first time in our young lives, a point Where we are finished and also about to begin.
