Frank Gifbe Voice Tests There was quite a fuss among the seniors when it came time to have their voices tested. Many seemed quite reluctant to exhibit their vocal talents. Every senior was rather shy and insisted on being alone when tested. However, the ordeal finally was over and Mrs. Helen Balibirnie stated that she really found quite a few good singers. Close of School The social activities off the school year closed with the annual Student Council party. This was held Monday, June 12, and many came to enjoy the last dance ovf the year. School officially closed on June 16, 1939, for seniors on June 14. The senior class bid a fond farewell to the halls that had shel- tered them for four grand years. Commencement The school board this year ruled that the graduation exercises would be held outside on the Broad Street side of the building. The class also voted that they would wear caps and gowns.
