As Fresh- men we started out extraordinarly well, Bob Gray being president, Elnora Maxon vice-president, and George Weeden secre- tary and treasurer. With beginners' luck we won the prize, five dollars, on Stunt Night. We had our spread, too, and held several bake sales to acquire money. At the end of our first year we settled down happily, feeling assured that we had made a place for ourselves in High School. Under the leadership of Al Thompson, president, Elnora Maxon, vice-president, and Tom Sander, secretary and treasurer, we followed a similar program in our so- prize on phomore days. We won the Stunt Night for a second time, and held reason or our usual dance, but for some other our money funds were always a cause for anxiety. Junior days were happy days for all of us. Although our class 'had dwindled down to about forty students, several new students entered our ranks. We started the year right by electing Al Thompson, president, Irene Dillman, vice-president and Margaret Lapp secretary and treas- urer. When we were given our seats in the study hall we felt as proud as the Seniors. We held a masquerade dance on Hallowe'en, and it was such a success that the Seniors began to have a little more respect for us,-in fact they even envied us. Unfortunately we were required to give the traditional Junior and Senior ban- quet. This banquet took all our hard earned money, and left us in debt to start our Senior year. Al Thompson defended us competently on Class Night. This year, we worked very hard to make both ends meet. Feeling quite satis- fled with Al Thompson's leadership, we elected him for a third term. Patricia Kendrick was made vice-president and Margaret Lapp secretary and treasurer. At the very beginning of the year, we staged a huge candy sale to decrease our debt. Shortly afterward, we ordered our senior rings. They really are stunning, at least so the Freshmen and Sophomores say. Work on the Seneca was begun early in October. The class held several bake sales, and entertainments. Then arrived the time to make a selection for the Senior play. We finally chose The Wlhole Town's Talking, by John Emerson and Anita Loos, and selected several committees in con- nection with the play to help make it a success. Mr. Mason, Miss McCabe, Miss Robison and Chester Ambuski, stage manager, als-o offered very valuable ser- vice. . The Senior Ball was held January 1, 1930. With excellent music by the Country Club Collegians, gorgeous de- corations and a record attendance, we might call this the height of our achieve- ments. We fittingly conclude the history of the class of '30 with Commencement exer- cises which will be held June 24th and 28th this year. Ely ' 'Lffb JW, W? :AQ 'mwqw 1,1 'Q P' .V ilV -95 G2 :am WA?

He is fond of athletics and he participates in most sports. He is a considerate classmate and a good student. He is one of the Stars on the Cross- field Basketball Team. He, too, is a willing worker and a loyal Senior. Outside of school, he works in the telegraph office. Without George's real work there would have been absolutely no Seneca! He saved the day for us by gathering in the ads while others were stupidly wondering what it was all about! From the bottom of our hearts, George, we Thank You! Irma Young Be silent and safe. Irma is noted for her red curly hair. She seems to be rather quiet, but apparently she isn't by the looks of that diamond ring she wears. Irma is one of our gifted basketball players, and she spends a great deal of her time in the gym. She is really the spotlight of every game. She loves to dance and read, too.
