SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Bnoouxs GRAIN, DUNN, I-IUMPHREYS, Rxrrniu-xorr. LAST june, a new plan was instituted whereby the Senior Class Adviser was elected by the third year Student Councilmeng that is, the boys who were about to become Seniors. For the sixth successive year, Mr. Fred Spinning, of the Mathematics Department, was elected the Adviser for the Senior Class. Immediately following the announcement of his selection, Mr. Spinning, along with Mr. Dehuff, made the following appointments as officers of the Senior Class: Treasurer, George H. Dunn, jr., Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Robert F. Graham, and Co-Chairman, John R. Myers, Chairman of the Senior Dance, Prom, and Banquet Committee, Harry K. Wells, and Co-Chairman, G. Robert Reese, and Editor-in-Chief of the CRACKER, Allan S. Wagner, Jr. As other members of the Dance Committee, Wells and Reese picked George H. Dunn, Jr., William J. Maguire, Carl Schade, and John McGovern. Francis Broglie was made Chairman of the Lost and Found Committee, and as his Co-Chairman, Homer Elliott was selected. Heretofore, the Senior Class Adviser was not elected until September, all of which necessitated the appointment of the above named ofiicers nearly three weeks after the opening of school. However, last fall the only balloting to be done was in the election of the February and june Class Presidents and Vice-Presidents. Edwin Grain, captain of the football team, was elected President of the June Class, with Francis Broglie winning the office of Vice-President. In the February elections, Robert Humphreys was voted President of the mid-year class, while William Ritterhoff was selected to be Vice-President. John W. Stribling was voted President of the Student Advisory Board by the retiring members of the Board last June. Broglie was made Vice-President. On Friday December 1, 1939, the Class held its annual fall dance at the Belvedere Hotel. The music was rendered by The Men About Town. The annual spring dance was held on Friday May 3, 1940, at the Hotel Belvedere, with The Townsmen as the orchestra. The Senior Prom was held on Friday june 7, 1940, at the Emerson Hotel, music being furnished by The Men About Town. The Banquet was held on the same night as Gradua- tion Exercises, June 17, 1940, at the Emerson Hotel. Twenty
