THE ACADEMIAN Senior Plan for Commencement Week We are now on the last lap of our high-school life, and we are and have the right to be proud of the speaking prowess of our seniors. The girls' speaking contest, sponsored by the P. T. A., demonstrated to us fellows that the girls need take no back seat when it comes to making speeches. The sen- ior girls who participated in this con- test should all be proud of the fine job they did. Elaine Kerskie was selected as the winner of the first prize of twenty dollars and Virginia Abbey was chosen as the winner of the second prize of ten dollars. The other girls wh-o furnished the keen competition were Natalie Ross, Rita Thornhill, Jean Woodside, Betty Bender, Jean VanDeu- sen, Irene Zellin, and Barbara Mason. In the annual Phelps and Gorham speaking contest, Dick White, our trom- bone artist, carried away the twenty- dollar first prize and did a fine job and well deserved his reward. Wm, Kings- ley won second. The other excellent orators who did such an excellent piece of work and who made the choosing of th-e winners so difficult for the judges were George Gilbert, Edward Bradley, Paul Kaveny, and Robert Kennedy. Seniors, we are graduating. We know we are because of the dizzy whirl we are now conscious of. Next June 23, the class of 40's graduation exercises begin with the baccalaureate sermon. The 24th is class night. The 25th and 26th come in quick succession: first, our last and most memorable dance, the recep- tion: next, the alumni banquet, which marks the beginning of our careers as alumni. True, it is a grand and sad experience to graduate, but let's not let the glory and the important feeling subtract from the true meaning of this experience. I hardly need to tell of the condition that this world of ours is in at the present time, for I believe that with our education and with the aid of our excellent faculty, that we realize that the moves we, the youth, make, will be of vital importance to later develop- ments in world affairs. Let's all hold in mind the same fine ideals that have been given to us in this fine institution of learning. -William Kingsley 36 I DEDICATIO T0 THE SE IORS Dedicated to The Seniors At last the Seniors are on the final stretch. Graduation is a matter of just a few weeks now, and we find roaming about the halls, or I should say bust- ling, those lucky ones who will parti- cipate in the closing exercises. It is with a feeling of slight remorse that we P G's have for them, as it brings back memories of our triumphal year. I am sure, however, that the Class of '39 joins with me in congratulating the and happiness through the coming Class of '40 and wishing them success years. May their Commencement week be the best ever. -Betty Pusey, P G Reporter
