SENIOR .fgcfiuifiw The last half year of a Senior's school life is filled with many pleas- ant experiences. Numerous social events are held which entertain and help bring about a closer and friend- lier relationship between the stu- dents. Heading the list of important ac- tivities presented by the Senior Class of 1939, was the Senior-New Senior Party. Last Iune after a hilarious program was given in the auditorium, everyone proceeded to the girls' gym Where King Dance reigned. On October 6 the Seniors spon- sored a dance which achieved the distinction of drawing the largest crowd to ever attend a dance at Blewett. Perhaps this signifies effect of the vitality of our senior class. The Amateur Show which was a success from every standpoint, was presented on Thursday, October 26. Talent galore was found among the competing amateurs. Violinists, singers, dancers and comedians dis- played their ability. After a very conscientious appraisal of the pre- sented talent, three winners were selected. Frances Maguire, a singer, won first prize, and Bernadine Gar- rett, also a singer, took second prize. Third prize was won by Stanley Schmitz, banjoist. The winners were Chosen by the applause of the audience. Halloween brought about another dance which saw the Blewett Dance Orchestra making its debut. Those who heard it predicted the band would have a successful future. November 28 to December 2 was recognized as the traditional bow week. Senior boys wore bow ties and senior girls wore bows in their hair. The Senior recognition pins were given out on October 14. The pins, round in shape, have the Grif- fin emblem in the center with the school initials below. Mr. Seitz's gym team on the after- noon of December 5 gave an exhibi- tion for the benefit of the Senior Class. After weeks of hard work the Dramatic Class, under the direction of Miss M. Smith, presented the play Campus Quarantine. As this was a Senior project, the cast was com- posed entirely of Seniors. Two per- formances were given, one in the afternoon for the students and one at night for the parents. Both audi- ences thoroughly enjoyed the per- formance. Two very important dates remain yet on the Senior Activity List. The first is lanuary 10 which will bring about the Senior-New Senior Party. The second and more important one is our graduation day which will be on Ianuary 25 at ten o'clock. Thus with the arrival of graduation our happy days of school life terminate. Page 20
