5' THE SENIORS aff was P . je? N 3' Uhr Gilman nf Ninviern Emvntg-Six HE history of each succeeding class, as one follows another through the Ann Arbor High School, is much the same. The class of 1926 entered the school in September, 1922, just as many other classes have done in previous Septembers. It was dazed by new surroundings, strange teachers, hostile upper-classmen. Event- ually it found itself, and ventured to declare itself an entity by electing officers. Here it showed its good sense by choosing one who is still in high school, and who has ever been a strong, dependable member of the organization: Arthur Lehman. In due course of time the Freshmen became Sophomores Cmost of themj and left the guidance of Miss Keen in C-3 for the tender mercies of Miss Van Kleek, in C-I. At the same time it descended from the balcony to the main floor for the weekly assembly. In accordance with established tradition, the Sophomores elected officers: this time they chose Eddie RoBare, whose fame was to grow as his athletic prowess developed. Eddie was not destined to remain in the school his Senior year, hoiwever, and as if in anticipation of their future loss, his classmates proceeded to elect him president for the junior year. ' l As juniors the class of IQ26 was under the watchful eye of Miss Schaible, in C?I7, although they were not allowed to sit in the sacred precincts. of the Seniors. But when they became Seniors they had the room entirely to themselves. Due to the reorganization of the high school from four to three years, C-I had become the junior session-room. ' As Seniors the election of officers was most important, since they would have many responsibilities thrust upon them before Commencement. Running true to form, the class failed to follow the example of last year's graduation class, which chose a girl for president in dehance of all tradition. Ralph Bettison was elected to head the class. He appointed the following competent chairmen who have assisted him in his duties: Senior banquet, Helen Lowreyg- Senior party, Karl Klais, and Memorial, john Kraus. The last week of the school year will not have drawn to a close before this book is in the hands for its readers, but tradition has so firmly established the events of Commencement week that it is safe to predict them. Some time during the week, probably on VVcdnesday afternoon, the Seniors will attend Class Day., Here they will listen to the following members of their class whom they have elected: CLASS PORT . . JAMES PARKER CLASS' EssAv1sT . GNA Fizriciziz CLASS PROPHET jossrn ZWERDLING CLASS SoNcsTER MARGARET HAWLEY CLAss HIsToR1AN . HULDA SCHAFFER 'CLASS GRATOR ..... HOWARD SIIXION That same week they will enjoy an elaborate banquet in the gymnasium, after which they will dance. And on Friday, june II, in Hill Auditorium, they will receive from the hands of Principal Forsythe a little piece of paper, which symbolizes the successful culmination of four years of effort.
