 RHODODENDRON 1934 £ Senior Class History The height of their present ambitions reached, after laboring through twelve grades, sixty-five seniors tripped across the stage to receive their diplomas the evening of May 31, 1934. The class started in September, 1922, at the Nelson and Whitney schools .... Time and grades flew by, and under the direction of Mrs. Brock- man, of the Whitney school, “Hansel and Gretel. in which Beth England and Eldon Davis took the leads, was produced. In 1926, a new Whitney building was built, and we found a struggling ambitious group coping with penmanship and spelling. In 1930, four seniors won honors in the W. C. T. U. contest: Beth England, Donald Kenoyer, Bob Palmer, and Barbara Sackett. In June, 1930, with Bill Wells and Bob Newell giving the salutatory and valedictory, one-half of the crowning triumph was realized when 122 students graduated into the senior high school building, the new Anacortes High School. Class of ‘34 was the first to go clear through die school. Of those 122 graduates only 63 are left to take final honors, fifteen of them having taken marriage vows, the others going to work. As sophomores, a big send off was made when Don Kenoyer won the third place in the state track meet at Pullman. As first fiddler in the Northwest Orchestra group, Lawrence Seitz attended the conference for three days, and now Lawrence is the first violinist (and also saxophonist) in the senior orchestra, better known as the Melodians. He also plays first fiddle in the high school orchestra. In October, Maxcine Baxter, Girls’ Club president, represented Anacortes at the University of Washington Leadership Conference, while at the same time, Editor Murl Miller, and Business Manager, Byron Norman, of this year's Rhododendron, attended the Journalism Conference. The seniors wish to have Miss Burpee know how much her kind guidance and cooperation have been appreciated. It was through her help and endeavorers that the senior play, “Peter Pops In,” was such a success, and the senior ball, given on May 18, with the Revellers playing. And thus the curtain falls on another group. The stage is cleared for the class of ’35. Flight
