Ohe TROJAN As favors we had gold coins, probably the last we’ll ever see. According to the law of nature, “the survival of the fittest,” seventy ranked as seniors in 1933-34. Four years were spent in discovering that we had much to learn. To steer our course we chose Frances Cole, president; Gerald Bass-ford, vice-president; and Eugene Tice, secretary and treasurer. Our balloon hovered over Japan and six of our classmates had leading roles in the operetta, “Miss Cherryblossom.” We took the juniors to Ireland for the Senior-Junior reception. Miss Gertrude Kirtland and Mrs. Vernon Daniels directed our senior play, The McMurray Chin.” The characters were: Philip Lansdale ...................Bill Pfautz Ellen McMurray Lansdale ..........Frances Cole Deborah Lansdale .............Mary Beryl Miller Miss Griswold ....................Marvel Conn Bob Scott ........................Claude Baker Beatrice Bardin ........................Dorothy McClanahan Libby .............................Alice Jordan Nettie Quick .....................Maxine Miller Doctor Scott .....................Gerald Bassford Doctor Topping-Sill ........................Tommy McCall Aunt Abbie Green .......................Catherine Strawn The Baby ...............Frances Marilyn Morrell Miss Tinkler and Mr. Hinkhouse had charge of the ticket sales, and Harold Mercer was stage manager. The School Band, directed by Mr. Bohning, played a number of selections. We seniors were taken by the juniors into a setting of the stratosphere for the Junior-Senior banquet. Overhead were the constellations, and each person had a gondola and balloon for a favor. Both classes were guests of Jay Daniels at the theatre after the banquet. Rev. Norman A. Alter delivered the baccalaureate sermon. Chancellor E. H. Lindley of Kansas University gave the commencement address. Rosella Bunch was chosen valedictorian and Elizabeth Gould was salutatorian for the class of '34. In his heart each senior hopes that there will be no disastrous landings as our balloon sails higher into the purpling heights, carrying the seniors onward to conquer the futui-e, “the stratosphere.” o u
