FACULTY Once more the faithful pilots have safely led a band of travelers over the rough and stormy places to the great highway of life which winds away toward the setting sun. They have given their best efforts to molding, directing, and strengthening us, and for this we are grateful. What lies beyond the turn'ng of this greaf highway we know not, but what triumphs we may win, what heights of grandeur we may scale, or what won- drous scenes we may behold will be our price'ess heritage from those leaders of life's brief march, who have blazed the trail and shaped our destinies.

S. and through many generations I have watched the classes come and go, but I've never seen a class half so bright or so different in their actions as the Senior Class of 24. The class entered Senior High in l92l. The first thing accomplished was the election of officers. Q I smiled with approval when I saw them choose Paul Freeman as president, and Eleanor Reppert as vice-president. Prom the color of her hair I knew that she was capable of looking after the president. The Secre- tary was Charles Casto, and Treasurer, Annis Ross. Much to my horror I saw them deliberately choose blue and gold for their class colors. I prefer green and white, perhaps it is because student usually impress me as being green. Margaret Kiddy won the Farnsworth Gold Medal Contest and I nodded my head with pride. I was present at the picnic, which this class, when Sophomores, gave the Senior Class of Junior High at .lackson's Grove. Sixty-live enrolled as Juniors. Again I was pleased to see that the officers who were re-elected were capable of their positions: French l-lyre, President: Edward Bratt, Vice-Presidentg Eleanor Reppert, Secretary: Grace McCartney, Treasurer. I influenced Mr. Grose and had Miss Snodgrass, Miss Pickens, Miss Putnam, and Mr. Bonar to direct that fine class. Kermit Proudfoot, Robert English, and Oscar Johnson were football letter men, Oscar won, also,'a basket-ball letter. This was a fine showing and I was as proud of them as I am of my uowlyn grandsons. The Senior girls challenged the Junior girls to a tug of war. I flappecl my wings until my specs rolled off, when the Junior girls won. The Juniors led in nearly everything during the year 23, and the social func- tions closecl with a banquet given by the Juniors for the Seniors in the basement of the College gym. After this event nothing of importance happened during the school year, so I moved my place of abode up to the bell tower where I could be comfortable during the summer months. V A One morning while taking a quiet nap, I was startled by the ringing of the bell and wondered what was going on, so I came down and perched on the gong. Immediately up the stairs came the class of 24. I was glad to see them back again. In a few days they settled down to work and soon afterward a class meeting was called at which time the following officers were elected: French Hyre, Presiclentg Kermit an '51 l36l - lla 1- .- - -' The Rhododendron I 924 Proudfoot, Vice-Presidentg Eleanor Reppert, Secretary: and Grace McCartney, Treas- urer. Then came Hallowe'en and with it the goblins and the black cats. Each of the classes put on a stunt in front of the court-house and to my great joy the Seniors were declared winners and received the ice cream. One morning I was wakened from my sleep by one of those bad Junior boys pulling a feather from my tail. Just after I was through chastising him I noticed a gentleman. who proved to be a representative of the Auld Jewelry Co., walking clown the hall. About a month later I noticed the Seniors conspicuously holding up their hands which showed rings flashing on their fingers. About this time they began to feel the need of a class patron: they called a meet- ing, and chose Senator U. G. Young. One night while on my way to the Domestic Science room for my midnight lunch, I happened to look through the transom of the English IV room and saw Miss Boylen and a few Senior students looking through some papers. There, she said, it is all ready for the printerg a few days later French Hyre handed me a copy of School Life and I realized then what they had been doing that night. I read that copy and all the rest and found the paper better this year than ever. Early in tlfe fall this class presented a Kipling program in chapel. In the football squad of 24 were found many stars from the Senior Class, and several of these were found on the basket-ball team which played up to the finals in the State Tournament. During the holidays Dan Cupid was very busy among the members of this class and extracted at least four members from the ranks. One evening while visiting the High School gym, I found it all decorated with red hearts and many lanterns and colors. I found that the Seniors were giving themselves a Valentine party, so I stayed and watched the proceedings of the evening. They played progressive hearts until about ten o'clock and then were served with ice cream, cake, candy and salted peanuts. I would like to tell you about the Junior-Senior banquet, but I am not feeling well because I was not invited to it, so I will let you find out the details for yourself. No doubt I will swell with pride as I witness the commencement exercises of my favorite class. ,,..' t I ..,, I wx F l37I . --'- Sz ol 'Che 'Rhododendron 1924 i381 um 1 I .IQ 'Che Qhododendron 1924 X , Q3 CQX If fl ' M f XX fy x ' ik f N . ., 5 ' Go X I39 I Q M 4 4 Iv I ' The 'Rhododendron I 924 I-IAYWARD HAMRICK, President A chief, whose subjects love his thrall, The Sympathizing heart of all.

S4 41 'Che Rhododendron 1924 ROSS BONAR Buckhannon High School is indeed fortunate in having this talented young man, Ross Bonar, at the head of the Science Department. Mr. Bonar is invaluable to B. H. S. not only as a teacher. but also as a leader in all that is fine and true. He is a manly man with high ideals and possesses a magnetic personality. He always has a smile of welcome for everyone and is ready to do anything in his power for the development of the boys and girls of our school. He is chairman of the Junior Class Advisory Committee and is always ready to give the best of advice and suggest the best of plans. All the boys and girls in Buckhannon High will always remember Mr. Bonar because of the courtesy and kindness that he has shown them both in and out of class. The Juniors wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation for the kindness he has shown them and the excellent advice he has given in time of need. BYRD PICKENS The Junior Class has profited greatly by having Miss Pickens as their English teacher and class advisor. Her cheerful disposition and willingness to help us in all our activities has made her very popular with all the students. Her classes are never dreaded, but, instead, looked forward to. The Junior class, as a whole, takes this opportunity to express their appreciation of all that she has done for us during this past year. MISS LOIS CLARK Miss Clark, head of the French Department and High School Librarian, is one of Buckhannon's most popular young teachers. Due to her work, many fluent French speak- ers spring forth. The Library has also shown great signs of improvement under her vigilant care. As a Junior Advisor her ready acquiescence to anything for promoting the welfare of the class may always be counted on. Under her supervision Le Circle Francais has, though young, become one of the Usnappiestn clubs in school. Though her ready wit often carries veiled sarcasm, it never offends, for her smile is always sweet and friendly. Miss Clark is what is best described as a good sport. She is liked by students and faculty, and B. H. S. is indeecl fortunate in having her. l43I .v 1. ..- ings- fafjgic'-'N ' rf '--- -of t - 'zrho Rhododendron 1924 UNIOR CLASS SYNOPSIS OF THE. PAST YEAR f.,T F a Junior Class had never made a reputation before, this year's class V has made one worthy enough to cover all shortcomings of the past. But as that is not necessary, we will keep all the honors for ourselves. Among the many things which this illustrious Junior Class has accomplished in the past year is their program rendered in chapel. You will probably say, Why, that was nothing! But you know it's the little things in life that count most in the long run. gk We can also claim a large portion of the athletic success, both in football and bas- ket-ball, especially the latter, as on the boy's team four out of five are from the Junior Class. And in addition to this, most of the girls' team was made up of Juniors. The Junior team was runners-up in class tournament, too. Oh! we're there when it comes to basket-ball, alright! But that's not all, a great number of the football squad was also from the Junior Class. Though we didn't win out in the Red Cross Seal Campaign, which was put on in the form of a contest among the classes, we certainly did run those other classes a close race and they about had to turn their pockets wrong side out to beat us! The Juniors don't fall behind when it comes to Literary activities, either: they are right there with the goods. In the state contest for the university scholarship two of the four who went to Grafton were Juniors. And the class did its faithful bit in helping to make School Life the success which it has proved to be. As you likely know, it's the custom that the Senior Class will be entertained each year by their supposed inferiors, the Juniors. Of course this year that inferior phase proved an exception to the rule. The junior-Senior banquet was one long to be remem- bered by all who took part in it. But the Juniors didn't neglect their own class when it comes to entertainment-far from it! The party given in their own honor came near being a rival to the banquet. Take it from us-the Junior Class of '24 is one that B. H. S. should long remember and will be proud of. My! what we won't do when we are Seniors. Q EV EY!

Through its two years of service to the pupils of B. H. S., it has at last almost reached the acme of perfection. If it were not for School Life our school activities would be rather dull. School Life has opened the eyes of its reader as he reads of knowledge which is not to be found in books: that is, knowledge of school affairs. Our front page material excels not only for the way in which it is written up, but also for the substance which it contains, all pertaining to the regular activities which are to be found in every-day school life. The editorials, which are written up by the students, cannot be surpassed for their originality and common sense. The Fact, Fun, and Sen- timent column is, on the whole, enjoyable to read. The way in which all athletic activi- ties are written up, stimulate the students to greater interest in our athletics. As the result of the effort on the part of the students who are affiliated with School Life's publication, we take this opportunity to extend our felicitations to them, from the head editor down to the contributors. SCHOOL LIFE WAS A SUCCESS LAST YEAR Last year marked the first attempt of the Buckhannon High School students to edit a school newspaper. Early in the year the staff was organized, with Frank Curry as editor. The name chosen for the paper was School Life. After the first edition we decided to enter the State Contest. All schools publishing- a school paper were eligible, those having an enrollment of over five hundred were in Class B, and those from one hundred and hfty to five hundred in Class C. Buckhannon came in Class C. Frank proved to be a very efficient editor, and his journalistic ability, combined with the interest and co-operation of the student body, made a real success of the paper. Although the honor of first place was given to the Mountaineer, published by the Grafton High School, we were pleased with our rating, which was second best. As it was our first attempt, we considered it very good. This year, however, we shall be satis- fied only with first place.- School Life. l59l gf ,Q gg, y Q sis 5 ig!! N,.

Much of the talent in school is found in this society of the lovers of learning, for its ranks are filled with readers, pianists, violinists, and orators. Not only does Philomathean endeavor to cultivate popular talent but she searches among her members for dormant genius, and 9- many have been the shy students who have found their power and blos- somed out, encouraged by the friendly help of this Literary Society. rg Q?'l X 'C r' The programs are made up of orations, speeches, music, amusing readings and sometimes a short play or a talk by some eminent person of the town or an alumnus.

There is really nothing more enthralling than the study of the Drama through all its early stages to the present day, with its great 545' AMWDAC interpretation of the life of Christ as presented by the Passion Play at Oberammergau, down to the modern drama. But the club studies other things besides the history of Drama. Popular plays are brought up in the meetings, read and discussed. Several have been presented, some of which are Green Stockings, A Couple of lVlillion, The Colonel's Maid, and The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. Q This year The lVlerry-Nlekersn will present Daddy Long Legs, a very clever little play by Jean Webster. The great success of these plays has been largely due to the expert casting and coaching of Miss Boylen of the English IV department.

' BUCKHANNON HIGH SCHOOL BAND r f in HE Buclchannon Hi h School Band, directed b Seward Reese, has closed a very succesiful year. y gd' This band was organized early last fall and practiced, usually, every Thursday. They played for all the Football and Varsity Basket- ball games throughout the year, and in addition to this, had the honor 545 JW'wDa'l of appearing before the High School Chapel. They were aslcecl to play at the State Tournament where they aided our Rooters' Club and gave not a little pleasure to those who attended the tourney. One of the attractions was their mascot, Dicky Burns. Following the tournament, a successful year was closed by playing at the Chresto- mathean Literary Society of Wesleyan College. Every member has been greatly benefitted by the experience and hopes that the same director will be back next year. 171 3 W afa ai .---- lgla Jie ex The Qhododoodfoo 1924 1 i i I do I THE. B. I-I. S.

At this meeting the following officers were elected: James English, Presidentg William Foster, Vice-Presi- dent, Elizabeth McWhorter, Secretaryg and Elizabeth Talbott, Treas- 9 urer. They have proven themselves very efficient in the work. 533 RZQZAC The club of this year outnumbered any of previous years. The membership totaled two hundred and fifty. ln the early part of the season, before each game a short thuse was held. And just before the tournament a regular thuse was held every morning. A very attractive badge was ordered for each member of the club, The Athletic Association offered a tournament ticket and other prizes to the high school students contributing the best songs. Margaret Kiddy won the tournament ticket, while Dorothy Withers and Cale Wallen each received one dollar. These, along with other yells and songs, hard rooting during the tournament, the co-operation of every member of the club, and the untiring interest and work of Ross Bonar and Miss Reger won the Zickefoose Trophy. l74I Q 'Che Rhododendron i924 QL SONG BILL GRIM Assislanl Cheer Leader Here comes the Blue and Cray, To win this game to-day, They'll win them any old time To keep their rep up high.

Conse- quently, they have been trained since childhood to resist the charms of T l the fair sex. ' The following are the rules of this club: ' l. No club member shall converse with any girl, provided however, that the topic of conversation is Polar Bear Raising in Chili: 2. No club member shall walk or ride with any girl, provided, however, that either or both are carrying a black cat with white ears and pink eyesg 3. No club member shall have dates with any girl, provided however, that these dates are not filled on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Monday, Sunday, Tuesday, or Fridayg 4. CAnd we don't mean perhapsj The penalties for any member convicted of breaking any of the above rules are as follows: First offense-Left eye-brow and eye-lashes pulled out, Second offense-Right eye-brow and lashes pulled out, and head shavedg Third offense--Both ears cut oft: Fourth offense-Both feet and both hands cut oft and all teeth pulled out, Fifth offense-Slow torture until death. These penalties are inflicted with greatest pleasure and enthusiasm by the mys- terious committee of three, chosen by the Executive Board from the membership of the club. :WSL Q-A l7SI W QQ Xl' .T i I ! wifi 'Ch Rh .1 .1 .1 1924 Xgyf THLETIC W Q 1 - 12 f d L The Rhododendron 1,924 l30l I Q o :gig 'Che Rhododendron 1924 WI-IO'S WHO IN ATHLETICS Ross BONAR, Athletic Manager QQQGQ' C, N B.

It matters not how difficult the undertaking or how trying the task, if Mr. Bonar is the director, one knows the result will be as near perfection as human mind , ills-Lrgjlii can make it. It rs, therefore, no surprise that athletics in B. H. S. have been managed in the best way possible and that much of the success N T PW of the season is due to the diligent work and guidance of Mr. Bonar. But, he has done far more than prove himself an excellent teacher ancl an excep- tionally capable manager, for his characteristic thoroughness has instilled in the pupils of Buckhannon High a desire to do all things well, and years later, so deep is their love, admiration, and respect for him, his influence will be felt.

He has a frank, good natured smile that will win him anything, but his policy is work will bring the deeds. He was graduated from B. H. S. in 'l9, where he took an active part in all kinds of athleticsf . The following fall, he entered Wesleyan. In this school, too, he spent much time in athletic activities, but his school work did not suffer because of that. Coach Ross was a student of high standing both in high school and college. It is this standard he wishes all the boys working under him to reach. He has proven his ability as a coach. by the excellent teams he developed both in football and basket-ball. The sport writers and coaches over the state hold him in very high esteem, because of the clean sportsmanship he develops among the boys. Everybody likes Cebe. MABLE CLARK fGi1ls' Physical Training Director, Miss Mable Clark, the vivacious young lady who presides over the gym classes and coaches the girls' basket-ball team, is another one of our town girls who, after graduating from B. H. S. and going to college, found the call of her school irresistible and returned to teach the young hopefuls of her friends and relatives. This is Miss Clark's first year as teacher. She was a student of the American School of Physical Education in Chicago for several years, so she had to get acquainted all over again upon her return. But her sweet disposition and winning way won all hearts and now she is quite a favorite. Buckhannon Hi will do well to solicit the services of Miss Clark, for she is quite an asset to the faculty as well as a charming young person. ISII -g, . .H-- ' ISI! 5152 J The Qhododendron 1924 OMAR YOUNG flrootball Captain, '24J Who ever said that a star football player could not be a good student, a sheik, and anything else anyone could desire. Well, we are ready to refute the statement, with Omar Young as our proof. Omar's athletic ability is perhaps one of his greatest assets as he has just com- pleted two years of football and one of basket-ball. Because of his personality and consistent playing he has been chosen to lead us on the gridiron this coming fall. He is a favorite among the girls, the teachers, and the boys,-in fact, he is liked by everyone who meets him. Since Omar is numbered among the Junior members we- are expecting to receive even greater things from him next year. ' it Z? it HEYWARD WILLIAMS qnasketbaii captain, '24J Any one who wanted a thrill last winter knew where he would get it, that is, if he wanted it badly enough to walk to the High School Gym when a basket-ball game was to be played. Tow-headed Swede, or Heyward Williams, the tall, handsome, light-haired basket-ball captain, could shoot a basket from any point on the floor, espe- cially when the score was running close. Then one of those long, sure baskets always brought heart throbs of joy to every spectator. Hey will long be remembered in B. H. S. for his leadership in athletics. KERMIT PROUDFOOT flfootball Captain, 'ZBJ Every boy and girl in Buckhannon Hi knows Foot on account of his athletic ability during the past four years. He has helped win many football games for B. H. S. as well as made a record for himself as a player. Poot was elected captain of the team by the boys because of his experience and his ability to diiect the team while on the field. ' HAYWARD HAMRICK flrootball Student Manager, '22-'23, Hick came to B. H. S. while but a boy and entered school as a Senior in Junior High. Any evening he could be found on the field with a sponge in one hand and a bucket of water in the other. He became popular among the boys because of his wil- lingness to lend a helping hand. For two years he has been forward on the basket-ball team and has another year to play. He is always willing to do something for the better- ment of his school and friends. RANDALL HAMRICK fBasket-ball Student Manager, '23-'24, Lefty is following in the footsteps of his brother l-lickf' He is just a Sopho- more, therefore he has two years to help develop both the team in football and basket- ball. He takes an active part in the interest of football management and many other things related to school. He has been Student Manager of basket-ball for.two years. l82l -Q Q The 'Rhododendron I 924 o Q les! QQ ft gigs 1 o lala 12 ,L 'Che mododoodooo 1924 l64l R I '.

Clean playing, hard work, vigorous training, and an influence for good citizenship are essentials of The Ross System of teaching athletics. Ross Boner, as manager of athletics, contributed much to 1923 athletics by arrang- ing a Hne schedule, and by skillfully directing the Iinancial department. He has shown a perfect willingness to work with Cebe at all times, and has been of invaluable assistance to our coach and boys. The team won four games, defeating Washington Irving, Weston, Spencer and Clark District: played scoreless ties with Wheeling and Nloundsville, and lost by a small margin to East Side and Elkins. On the whole it was a remarkably successful season, and will long be remembered with pride by the school. BASKET-BALL IN B. H. S. When the candidates assembled for basket-ball this year everybody predicted a most successful season. Practice was started early. Consequently, the first game which was with East Side, found the boys in mid-season form and there was no difliculty in putting the score on the right side of the ledger. From then on they won their games regularly so that by the end of the season we had I9 out of 24 games to our credit. With East Side, Elkins, Graf- ton, and Lumberport we divided the honors, while we twice took the scalps of W. 61 I., Weston, Victory, Jane Lew, and once from the Alumni, Fairview, Parkersburg. and Shinnston. We went to the Valley Tournament Hunheralded and unsung, but we reached the tri-finals by climbing over Mill Creek H. S. and East Side--the latter had been picked to win the tournament. We were defeated in the tri-finals by Lumberport. This was the surprise of the tourney. We entered the State Tournament under the same conditions. Sweet revenge came when we defeated Lumberport. Then we defeated Shinnston, and next Parkersburg, which game was the thriller of the tourney. We were stopped only in the semi-finals by Charleston, the winners of the meet. Only two of the men are lost this year through graduation, so even the most pessi- mistic cannot help prophesying that B. H. S. will possess a truly great team next year. BASKET-BALL IN JUNIOR HIGH The Junior High basket-ball season was a very successful one. Several games were played at home and abroad. Defeat came but once, and then by just two points. We are glad to see such good material developed in Junior High, because some day these same players will be in Senior High and will win honors for the school. Mr. Williams is to be congratulated for his success as a coach, as he has never failed to put out a good team.

Lucille: Do you have a pencil I could borrow, Mr. Brooks? Mr. Brooks: Where is your notebook to-day? A STRANGE SITUATION One evening while coming home from work, I met one of my classmates. He was walking by himself, but nevertheless, he was talking. He seemed to be arguing both sides of a debate. Thinking this rather strange, I stopped and asked him what he was talking about. He told me that he oiled his brain every morning, and that he had let the oil can slip. This, he said, had set the pivot, which the tongue turns on, working and he couldn't get it stopped. As I looked amazed at him, he explained the whole matter to me. which was something like this: When I was a small boy, I was always timid and afraid to talk. Every time I thought of something to say, my tongue would seem to stick and refuse to move. In fact, I had no talent along any line. One day a man came to our home. He was selling Pig Oil which he said would remove all rust from the brain. He stated, also, that with the use of this oil I could do whatever I wished. He then explained that the brain controlled every move of the body and that whenever I used this oil and got the rust removed from my brain I would be great. I bought a bottle of this remedy and a drill. The drill was to bore holes through my skull in order that the oil could reach my brain. The drilling was rather painful, but the instant the oil touched my brain I felt that I had become a great man. I could dance, sing, talk, play the saxophone, and do any- thing else I wished. I have five small holes in my head: one above each ear which seems to oil the tongue-because it is loose at both ends: one in the front of my brain, controls the mus- cles of my face: one in the center of my head, oils the section of the brain which controls the arms, and the other in the lower back of my head, controls the muscles of my legs. Each morning I place one drop of oil in each hole and then adjust a cork in each to prevent the oil from running out. If I am going to make a speech, I add an extra drop of oil in the holes above the ears and an extra one in the hole in the center of my head to aid me in making gestures: and if I have a date afterwards I add two extra drops. If I am wishing to vamp some girl, I put an extra drop in the hole in the front of my skull: if dancing, an extra one in the hole in the back of my head. Because of doing this, I am sometimes called a minister and at other times a bootlegger. In fact, I can be either. The only strange thing about this, he said, is that whenever any subject is being discussed, I take the opposite side of the question, regardless of the way I think. I99l I ggmq ,i ii JJ, The 'Rhododendron 1924 AN INTERVIEW WITH JEW JOHNSON How To Make 351.98 Last Through a High School Love Affair A short time ago my employer informed me that I was to have the honor and pleasure of calling on the Honorable Jew Johnson for the purpose of interviewing him on the economic standpoint of a love affair. The object of this article is to encourage some of the younger generation who have been greatly discouraged owing to the H. C. L. fhigh cost of lovingj, and we felt that Mr. Johnson was most competent to give us this information. On entering his apartments I was ushered in to his private study where a howling mob, craving for information along the same line, was waiting, but upon identifying myself I was permitted an interview without delay. To open this interview I explained that I was to gather a few of his most reliable secrets to which he owed his marked success as Chief Advisor of the Economic Love Makers Incorporation. At first he seemed rather reluctant to reveal the secrets of his High School training, but finally, in view of the service that he would be doing for humanity, he became so enthused that our conversation lasted for three hours. After much careful thought I have condensed his rules into as brief a form as pos- sible so that they may be easily committed to memory and can always be kept handy on one's person. Above all, choose a girl of extremely small stature. The main advantage in this lies in the fact that she may readily be passed into games, shows, concerts, etc., on half fare. Whenever she hints for a picture show in such a manner that it is absolutely impos- sible for you to misunderstand her, always remember these few important sidelights on theatre going: Never start to the show until between eight and eight-thirty as this will make it necessary to remain at the show until all stores of any kind will be closed. On entering the show lead her by the hand, saying This way little. girl, and it will make it more emphatic if she will meekly reply Yes, papa. On the way to the show, remark of the disgusting habit some people have of chew- ing gum and also of the harmful effects of popcorn on the teeth. Here Mr. Johnson related his favorite anecdote which he uses in this case: An aunt of mine had a passionate craving for popcorn in her youth and-sob, sob-she lost three of her teeth before she was eighty. It is extremely advisable to map out a course home from the show before you go, being careful that you do not pass any restaurants along the way. He next gave us the three-fold advantage of being an athlete namely: getting passes to the games, not able to eat where coach may see you, and being forced to have parlor dates. This saves restaurant bills, drug store bills, tickets to the games, and cuts down number of pay dates. , When on trips and wish to write her, always use stamped postals obtainable at any post-office for one cent, thereby saving the price of an envelope, two-cent stamp and sheet of paper, a net saving of a fraction over two cents. Profess total ignorance of dancing and instead of going to the dances have her teach you at home. Be careful not to get good enough to appear in public or to attend dances, for this is a very expensive diversion. Every once in a while mention the remarkable affect on the health that walking will produce and this will' eliminate all taxi bills. With these few rules as sign-posts a mere amateur may advance far on the road to success. ll l 00 The Rhododendron I 924 .ssetfd E '22, SCHOOL DIRECTORY SENIOR CLASS President ...................,...
