SENIOR HISTORY The Freshman Class of 1936, under Mrs. Rhodes as adviser, had one class party. The class was greatly increased by students from outlying districts. As Sophomores a party was held in the fall, and a card party in the spring, the latter added to Cor startedj the class treasury. Miss Daley was the adviser. With the title of juniors the class realized that earnest work must be begun in order to increase the responsibility of the treasurer. Under the supervision of the adviser, Miss Challis, a second card party was sponsored and a party for the members of the class took place. Each year Christmas festivities were enjoyed with refreshments by the advisers. Christmas cards were sold and after Easter the juniors took over the sale of candy from the Seniors. The junior Prom on june 26 relieved the class of the sum of twenty dollars. In early june the design of the Senior rings was chosen. Now falls upon this class of l940--the largest class ever to graduate from Bemus Point and the biggest for several years still to come--the seriousness and supposed dignity of the Senior Year. It is begun by an old-fashioned corn husking bee in Cheney's barn. A weiner roast at I-lazzards with the junior Class is enjoyed. Life Begins at Sixteen , a youthful comedy, is chosen as the Senior play and is produced january 18 and 20. lt is recorded as a great success. Each lunch period until Easter the Seniors industriously sell candy, and they sponsor a play by the Chautauqua Cvuild Players in order to enlarge the funds for the Senior Trip. Over the Memorial Day week-end the Seniors, as a last bit of fun, despite the rain and foghorns, take the Great Lakes trip from Buffalo to Detroit. Allene Dake, Violet l-lall, Viola Shepardson, Wesley johnson, Claude Haskins, and Charles I-lallberg give short speeches at the Moving-Up Day chapel program, Ruth Brooks and I-larold Peterson are the valedictorians, and Leah McDonald the salutorian, for Commencement. For Class Night, Paul Sullivan.is chosen as master of ceremonies, Allene Dake, class historian, Donald Locker, class poet, Reggie Lawrence, the optomist, Norma Kelderhouse, the pessimist, Merrill I-larvey, reader of class will, and I-larold Peterson, director of class song. With these and other solemnities and festivities, the history of the Class of l940 as a part of the Bemus Point High School closes. , j. M. N. Page ll u
