To assist him Clifford Bolander as Vice President, Martha Garver as Secretary, and Grace Roberts as Treasurer were chosen. The American Beauty rose, symbolic of the highest ideals was selected to be the class flower. To enrich their lives the graduating class chose to follow the motto, Honor Lies at Labor's Door. At the annual Junior-Sen- ior Prom the class colors, purple and gold, predominated in clever decora- tions. Following the traditions of our dear Alma Mater, the seniors graduated in the customary caps and gowns. The boys wore maroon while the girls chose symbolic white. Many tearful eyes watched the members of this class receive their well-earned diplomas. SENIOR OFFICERS

Remember, Madame Tell, I want the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Please try to tell me as well as you can what is in store for us in the years to come? What? You want to first delve into the past. fImagine that! Wonder what she'll findll Couldn't we just sort of pass over that? You can't? fWell, seniors, I guess we're in for it! I can take it if you can. I did my best though, remember thatlj Just try to hit the high spots. I can only tell you that which I see in the crystal ball, and that I must tell you as it appears. fClassmates, is this a dagger that I see before me?D Ah! I'm beginning to see something! It is misty-but now, now it is clear. I see the class of '39 in the year of our Lord, nineteen hun- dred and twenty-seven. They are tumbling into the Hrst grade class rooms. Misses-I can't see who-oh yes, yes they're Miss Little, Miss Sweeney, and Miss MacIntosh. Miss Little is starting Doris Skinner on her academic career by breaking her of counting on her fingers. It's getting hazy now, but waitfis this Warren McCready pushing Bob Grant's head through a window with a geography book? And what's this? Cecelia Troyan, Pat Ballentyne, and Phyllis Tross being punished for passing notes 'Z What's this I see? It can't be Mylio Kraja getting chastised with a rubber hose for being a bad boy, could it? Ch, just as romance begins to blossom the scene fades away but now it comes back and I see Bill DeLaney sitting with his girl friend because Miss Riley told them not to talk. The years are going so fast that I can hardly dis- tinguish one incident from another. But it shows more clearly-the class is crossing an arch. That couldn't be into Heaven, could it, classmates?J They seem to be still in school. This must be in their freshman year for I see Betty Jenkins locking her keys in her locker and Robert Weber going up the south stairway. I see Vincent Rosapepe presiding over their infantile class meet- ings. I see a picnic closing their school term held at Slippery Rock Pa- vilion in Mill Creek Park. Now they are sophomores. I see Bob Stoll struggling to put over a dance. Charles Oestmann seems to be capable of keeping the juniors in order this year. They're having an argument over something-now I see-they are selecting rings. Now I see them decorating for the Junior-Senior Prom. Then they approach their senior year, and there I see Russell Geig- er. Their meetings are characterized by more dignity than before. The mist obliviates the things I have just perceived and related to you, I see them marching-. fThat must be Commencement. Are we actually graduatingffj Now it fades away. That is all. SENIOR HISTORY
