C7 HE Mid-year class? In the past it was the forgotten class. Not content to he for- gotten, as were many classes hefore them, the 1937 mid-years set a precedent at Bloom, a mid- year graduating class. With the willing assist- ance of Mr. Manslze, their sponsor, they prepared their own commencement and received their diplomas. To he sure, the group was small g hut it was not engulfed in a much larger group of which it was not actually a part. They spent four happy years at Bloom, par- ticipating in activities of our organization, and in giving their service, shared the satisfaction of accomplishment with the june classes. Not a slight honor is it to he the last class to attend Old Bloom for a full year, and see the scene of bustling activity change from the historic old campus to a new site. The class organized, choosing Howard Men- denhall president, Adele Petit vice- president, and Rita Formentini secretary-treasurer. From that time plans quickly evolved, and they now .stand a class of twenty-four, the jirst ever to he graduated in mid-year.

The Senior Board SENIOR board was organized for the purpose of planning a fuller cooperation of advisory groups and closer coordination of the senior class as a whole. The body, composed of the class sponsor, the four class officers, and representatives from those groups that do not have one of the class officers, meets every Wednesday morning. With the sponsor, this group of students acts for the Senior Class in the organization and direction of all senior activities, such as: Senior Mixer, Senior-junior Party, Senior Paid Assembly, Senior Class Party, as well as all Commencement Activities. Aside from those mentioned, there are several other committees: Finance, Class Gift, Invita- tions, Caps and Gowns, Dinner Dance, and Baccalaureate. At a later designated Board meeting, the chairmen of these committees give summaries of the work accomplished. The duty of each Board representative is to take back to his advisory group a report of the business discussed, and plans made at the previous board meeting. Each member is expected to take an active interest in the Senior Class and to urge his classmates to do likewise. At the end of each semester, a report of the financial standing is made by the treas- urer. These summaries are then passed to all the Senior advisories, Where they are read and posted for future reference. With the election of new Senior Class officers and new representatives, the term of the work of the 1937 Senior Board closes. 119
