Miss Cora E. Hampel. This term the class has had four large functions on its calendar: the senior dance, the senior play, the senior dinner, and the purchase of the senior gift. The collection of class dues, for the financing of these activities, began at the start of the term and extended throughout the first seven weeks. less Billings, class treasurer, and his committee managed the campaign. The second senior undertaking was the Big Game Dance, the second school dance of the term. This affair, held on the night of the Piedmont Game, had football as its theme. Through the medium of ballots printed in the Weekly News an election was held to determine the most valuable player on the team. To the winner, Johnny Gray, a gold football was awarded by the Senior Class. The class suggests that the awarding of a gold football be made a traditional annual event. The dance was the outstanding social event of the term, as well as a financial success. Smilin' Through was chosen as the senior play, the following students making up the cast: Paul Dettmer, Kenneth Phinney. Evelyn Bachrach, Janice Morgan. Harry Haviside, Bob Dettmer, Carl Stromberg. Bill Haskell. Catherine Hamilton, Virginia Carr, Marjorie Strong, Betty Berger, Isabel Scott, Francis Shoemaker, Dick DeKay, Bob Rawson, and Janet Flannery. This stirring romance and international success was presented in the school auditorium on the night of November 22 under the auspices of Mrs. Schwimley. The sum of two hundred dollars was set aside for the purchase of a gift to be presented to the school by the senior class at graduation. The nature of the gift had not been determined at the time the OUa Podrida went to press. Among the suggestions were portable microphones, and radios. A turf field or a cinder track were suggested, but were ruled out for practical reasons. The Senior Dinner, with Bob Edwards in charge of decorations. Elisabeth Kremser planning the menu, and Nadine Foreman arranging the entertainment, is scheduled for December 16. The social committee selected a conservative style of graduation announcement embellished by the Berkeley High School seal. With the seal on the cover, and inscribed within, the folder presents a very attractive though formal appearance.
