CLASS HISTORY Late in 1937, there assembled in our auditorium, 804 Sophomores, the largest Sophomore class ever to enter Central. These potential members of the Class of '40 elected as their officers: President, Leonard Naymark, Vice- President, Donald Crassweller, Secretary, Jean McDonald, Treasurer, Ray Milberg, and Assistant Treasurer, Muriel Broman. Under these officers this class put on its only large proiect, a Saint Patrick's Day dance in the gymnasium, March 18. At the annual auction the largest pool was formed by the class of '40. When June stole upon them, they breathed a sigh of relief. No longer were they little Sophomores, now they were Juniors! On October 18, 1938, members of the class of '40, now Juniors, 828 strong, met again in the assembly where their officers were again introduced: President, Leonard Naymark, Vice-President, Donald Crassweller, Secretary, Muriel Broman, Treasurer, Jean McDonald, and Assistant Treasurer, Esther Marcovitz. Plans were discussed at this time for the Mid-Year Prom, held the last of January, 1939. Jean McDonald was chairman of the dance, which was held at the Casa Del Norte and was a complete success. Climaxing this suc- cessful year, the class sponsored the Senior prom, which took place in the Hotel Duluth Ballroom with Muriel Broman and Leonard Naymark as chairmen. Early the next fall the class of '40, now Seniors, met to elect officers: President, Leonard Naymark, Vice-President, Donald Crassweller, Secretary, Muriel Broman, Treasurer, Jean McDonald, and Assistant Treasurer, Shirley Litman. First of the multitude of activities was the Halloween Dance, held the Friday before Halloween, 1939. Decorated with ghastly skeletons and Jack-'o- Lanterns, the gymnasium was the scene of the dance, which was a great success. Following this gala affair was the Auction, held November 24, 1939, with Donald Crassweller and Norma Nordean taking charge of this annual festive spectacle. Money taken in at this auction greatly exceeded that re- ceived for two or three years previous. Next upon the schedule was a skating party, held January 19, which includ- ed both skating and dancing, with music -furnished by the Service Orchestra. When April 5 finally came, Seniors of the '40 class brought to school their ingenious creations, proudly exhibiting them. Leading the parade were those members of the David Wisted Post, Sons of the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps, who were graduating. A program in the assembly and a dance held afterwards in the gymnasium rounded out a perfect day. With Dress-Up Day but a memory, practice began for the Senior Class play, The Black Flamingo, a great success, which was presented April 26. Around the corner peeped summer, and with it graduation. But before it came the Prom, last of three years of Social Activities, held May 29, at the Hotel Duluth. Splendid in their new blue caps and gowns, the Class of '40, one by one received their diplomas, reioicing that their high school years of learning were culminated. Hearts throbbed, that never-to-be-forgotten June 7, which was ended by a moonlight dance at the Boat Club. 21

SENIOR CLASS LEONARD NAYMARK DONALD CRASSWELLER MURIEL BROMAN JEAN McDONALD SHIRLEY LITMAN President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Assista nf Treasurer Lenny . . . For the third successive year the present senior class has chosen as its president a leader who has been acclaimed by his classmates as one of the most capable and efficient fellows in the class. To him have been given two of the finest compliments of the graduating class, Homeliest Boy Fusser and Biggest Boy Booster. Crassy . . . One of the best all around athletes and good fellows of the class was chosen in each of three years to hold the office of Vice-President. The title of Most Athletic Boy has rewarded his spectacular achievements on the basketball floor and football gridiron. Muriel . . . Admired and honored, this efficient Miss has held office in the class for three years - serving in l940 as the Secretary of the class. Her popularity is evidenced by being chosen Best Girl Mixer by her appreciative classmates. Squeak . . . The complete financial success of the Class of l94O may be at least in part credited to its able Treasurer. For three years she has capably served as a class officer. Her ability has in 1940 won her the high position of Assistant Editor and Circulation Manager of the Spectator. , Surg . . . Assisting in the tremendous task of caring for class finances, the Assistant Treasurer takes a great responsibility and this year's assistant has more than ful- filled the duties of her office. Miss Klaus . . . The inspiration, the guiding light, the adviser of class ethics and policies, is helpful, friendly Miss Klaus. Much of the credit for the happy, carefree, yet profit- able three years at Central have been due to her untiring efforts in behalf of her class. 20 MISS FLORENCE KLAUS Adviser
