Ioel Schrank. president fe 14 77f44'4 WMM! Ioel Schrank, the president of the senior class, was well suited for this position. He had received experience in Student Coun- cil and in heading the Color and Emblem Committee. Ioel has the gift of making people want to help him, and through this he' has finished the year's activities in a burst of glory. It hasbeen Ioel's duty to oversee all the senior committees. Sharing Ioel's burden was Norman Gresham, the vice-president. Norman also served on Student Council, and has held several offices during his years at Buchtel. Keeping the senior class correspondence in order and all the other duties of the secretary fell upon Bill Auten's shoulders. Bill, best remembered as King B, has performed these duties well. The treasurer's duties were taken over by Dick Patterson. His principal duty was collecting the class dues. This is the last year that four boys can hold the four offices, after this it will be two boys and two girls. We wish the senior officers of next year the best of luck.
