ans an p J G owns Class Officers Matt Anderson and Alice Johns for a preview model the caps and gowns chosen for their class graduation. It is the first time in his¬ tory, the Astoria High School May Senior class graduates in caps and gowns—a distinction of which the class is proud. ay Oenior LJass One hundred and thirty students strong, the May Senior class of ' 40 set out to make its mark in the history of A . H. S. On December 20, Patriot ' s Hall was resplendent in Christmas dec¬ orations for the gala Senior Ball, held by the class in honor of the January Seniors as a climax to the term ' s social activities. Initiated by this class for the first time in A. H. S. was the College Coun cil. Advised by Miss Mary McCann, it conducted a comprehensive survey of all the leading colleges and universi¬ ties in the country. The Seniors decided a question, which has become a major issue, by voting heavily in favor of caps and gowns at graduation exercises. Grahame Crackers, a three-act comedy, was produced by the class with Alice Johns and Mervin Anderson in the leading roles.
