THE SENIOR BRIGADE When we were By the time we were seniors we had come to know each other very well. We knew iust what to expect ot one another, and what not to expect. We knew that Kenneth would get straight A's and that Tom wouldn't take his report card home. At this point, we had discovered that the youngest member ot the class is Marilyn l-lotier, and that Bob Corbin is the youngest among the boys. Virginia Clay and Maxine Schwanke are con- testing tor the senior artist honors. The class even has a swimmer in the crowd, tor Romona Olsen has excelled in many swimming meets. Kenneth Thompson, in his senior year, represented C. F. l-l. S. in the state extempore speaking con- test because ot his excellent showing in the dis- trict. It is logical to believe that any Senior Class ot any high school has much intluence as to the running ot the school. lt seems that the Class ot '40 ot C. P. l-l. S. had much to say, because tor the tirst time a senior girl was elected president ot the Student Forum, and this girl was Betty Bancrott. The intluential lad, l-loward Briden, represented the Senior Class in the torum. The class sponsors are ot our own choosing, and we are proud ot our choice, tor they have assisted us through many rough spots. With lit- erary and athletic inclinations, Librarian Coella Correll and Assistant coach Eugene Fisher serve as the sponsors. While we progressed Along the lines ot sports, we predicted ear- lier that Delbert Mully would make a name tor himselt, and that he did, tor he won high honors in the basketball tournaments in his senior year. l-le was a member ot the team all through high school. lva Marie Cook has been able to put her com- mercial training into practice, and as a result has proved a real right-hand-man assistant to Miss l-lansen in the ot-tice. l Marriage seemed to be an attractive step tor one ot the senior girls, and so Mary Luders lett the rank and tile, and went down the matrimonial trail. Photography has become an outstanding hob- by this year, and many ot the students ot our school have had an interest in it. Martin l-lolst has been the leader ot this group. The president ot the Girls' Auxiliary ot the year was Betty MacStay. Marian Rhode won dis- trict D. A. R. honors. Stepping into the commercial world, Paul l-lughes has become an expert dairyman and livestock breeder. What we hope l-laving spent three years in C. F. l'l. S., the seniors are ready to enter other tields. lt's exciting to look into the tuture and see these new tields being developed by our tellow classmates. Many spectators may be thrilled at the success ot Dorothy Buhl as a dancer, and Myrle Bartholomew as lett guard on a tamous tootball squad. ln the nursing tield, Betty l-leiselman will reign and Don Briden as a tamous ping-pong champion. We hope much success comes to the once ambitious seniors, no matter where their ambi- tions lie. Ambitious people like Marilyn l-lotter, Owen Volker, and Delores Robinson will, no doubt, step quite deliberately into the commer- cial world. While people like Tom Marsh, Duane Phelps, and Orville Olson may surpise us yet. Yes, Tom may be driving a Packard some day and Orville may be a successtul tarmer, or a banker, who knowsl And it would be a let-down it Ken Thompson were not a college protessor or a politician ot some kind. Commercial artist, gymnastic teacher, chaut- teur, or whatever the career may be that beckons the seniors, we know their success is partly due to the three years' stay in Cedar Falls lnligh School. Cedar Falls l-ligh will be recognized by all the class ot '40 as our dear Alma Mater. l cr-
