SENIOR HISTORY The Senior Class of 1941 looks back to the time in '37 when it had emerged into a new experience. High school life seemed strange, with unfortelling events lurking in the near future. On looking back we find nothing strange, but a pleasant experience, never to be forgotten or equaled. The remembrances of our freshman year should never omit our first social event, The Hallowe'en Party. How could we forget? Curfew was at nine o'clock. Later in the year the Freshman Dramatic Club presented The Necklace in assembly. As a finishing touch to the social program—a trip to New York and Star Wagon,'' a current Broadway play. After having spent two semesters in Butler High, we returned our Sopho- more Year with an adult attitude toward the new freshmen and a less be- wildered expression. The new addition had been completed providing more hall space to waste time in and more room space to learn in. As the year progressed, our dramatic talent shone through in Silence Please, which proved to be the outstanding class gift to the social year. In February, a Valentine Dance, sponsored by the Student Council, took the place of the usual Sophomore Dance. Junior year every one settled down to harder work being almost seniors. Contributions to the entertainment field were the Junior Dramatic production of White Phantom and our gift to the seniors, the Junior Prom, in a World of Tomorrow setting. The couples danced to the melodious rhythm of Irving Kayes, as they circled around the theme of the background, the trylon and perisphere. And moving up to position in the last quarter of the game, a triumph behind the footlights was achieved by the Senior Dramatic Club play, Elmer, followed with the same degree of polished performance by the annual Senior Spring Play, The Busybody. In May, the class returned from Butler's tra- ditional senior trip to the Nation's capitol. Terminating the senior and final year at Butler was commencement.
