CLASS OF l935 When the senior class of 1935 elected Norma Jean Gillingham Ctop girl on the rightj, presl- dent of their class, Eugene Lier- man Csecond boy on rightj, vice- president, Anita Knapp Csecond girl on rightj, secretary, and Robert Moore Qthird boy on rightj, treasurer, they put four years' experience in voting for class officers into this im- portant election. After the class election, work was started on the selection of the senior announcement for a class which deserved a fitting reminder of this important event. The committee consisting of Anita Knapp as chair- man and Virginia Campbell, Eugene Lierman, Robert Shoemaker, Betty Woller, and Robert Kay as her able supporters, met, talked, looked over various announce- ments, argued, and finally picked one which carries X in silver embossing a reproduction of the seal on the auditorium curtain. Their work was done. The Work of another committee was begun. This committee was the commencement committee-Geraldine Nickell, chairman, Jean Hoskins, Laurabelle Schutt, Patty Souder, Stanley Baker, Edward Ebert, Charles Romine, and Billy Wiese. Their work consisted of planning class day, baccalaureate, and the commencement exercises with their theme centered around the fact that this is the tereentenary anniversary of the founding of the public school system. They did an effective piece of work. These activities ring down the curtain of four happy years of good times and hard Work, the memory of which the senior class of 1935 will always cherish. IN MEMORY OF FRANCIS KESLER CPicture on leftj All Champaign High remembers Francis Kesler, whose untimely death left a loop-hole in the activity wall of Champaign High School and of Bondville, his home, which he, and only he, could close up. In Boy Scout work at Bondville, Francis reached the top. His achievements were gained through hard labor cheerfully fulfilled and resulted in a merit-badge sash with twenty-eight badges. As further proof of his leadership, this Eagle scout was elected Senior Patrol leader of his Boudville troop. Francis started high school with a developing interest in music. His freshman year he played third chair baritone in the band, but his second year he shifted to a solo cornet. Since the real purpose of Francis Kesler 's daily trips from Boudville was to acquire an education, mention must be made of his scholastic average. His name was among those on the honor roll in the year 1932, and he had a total of thirteen and a half credits at the end of his junior year-one and one- half more than is compulsory. Most of Francis' interests in the sports world were centered around football and basketball. His interest was so great that he rarely if ever missed a prac- tice. As an end on the foot- ball team and a guard on the basketball squad, Francis could be depended on to give a reliable showing, putting all he had into the game. In all these activities Fran- ces Kesler was known to his companions as one with a likeable and pleasing per- sonality and as one without an enemy in the World. . , -f sw , .- 7. . , JI - 1
