Seniors l.ool4 Back Qver Busy and Eventiul Veer The senior class members are all excited over their last spring in high school with graduation close at hand. With the school days soon to come to an end, they like to look back over their last year in high school. At the first of the year they elected their officers, Mack Gilsrap, president for the third consecutive yearg Voncile Mit- chell, vice-president, Helen Heard, secretary-treasurerg Jams Gibson, student council representative. The senior council members were Sara Stanley, Helen Heard, Mack Gilstrap, Grace Newman, Madeline Miller, Voncile Mitchell, Victor Bryant, James Gibson, and Gail Harden. They selected the senior jewelry and the announcements.. At a senior meeting in February there was some discussion about having a senior banquet this year. However, a ballot vote was taken on the question, and the majority were in :favor of having the usual picnic instead. On March 26, the Girl Reserve, Hi-Y Carnival was held in the junior college club rooms and small gymnasium In an im- pressive ceremony, Vivian Logan and Victor Bryant were chosen queen and king of the festival. Eight attendants accompanied the rulers in the ceremony. The attendants were Mack Gilstrap, Von- cile Mitchell, Dale Hines, Kathryn Curfman, Bruce Reid, Helen Heard, Paul Quinn, and Grace Newman. There were various booths and concessions including fortune telling, telegrams, faculty throw, milk bottle throw, picture show dart throw, Wheel of chance, and others. Kathryn Curfman won the popularity contest conducted after the coronation. Other candidates in the popularity contest were Voneile Mitchell, Claire Edwards, Jeanne Day, Mable, the Mugwump. These features combined with the many refreshments made an enjoyable and entertaining evening of fun for all who attended. The senior class play, Double Door was presented April 3, under the direction of J. D. Davis. The seniors voted enthusiastic- ally to have a senior play, and conduct the ticket sale. The class was divided into two sides with Mack Gilstrap and Bill Burns as captians. They then selected ten sub-captians who checked out tickets to the people under them. The losing side had charge oi' the senior day program. At a meeting in March, the senior girls decided to wear white sport dresses for graduation as has been done in the past, and party dresses for the Tigerama and Baccauaureate. The boys decided to wear dark suits. On May 1, the seniors attended the Tigcraina, which is given for them each year by the junior college. Friday before the last week of school was Senior Day. All the seniors dressed up in the most out-landish 'and original cost- umes they could possibly think of, and wore them to school. That afternoon the chapel program was presented by the seniors, in charge of the students who were on Bill Burns side in the senior play ticket sale contest, the side that lost. After the program, school was dismissed and all three classes adjourned to different places for their picnics to make the day complete.
