The Clamo Senior Class History In the fall of 1933, the seniors of this year entered as enthusiastic, if somewhat frightened and bewil- dered freshmen. Hailed as the largest class in Clayton's history, they were destined to see three successively larger freshman classes cap their mark. As its first president the class chose Ann Rubinstein, for its vice-president Irwin Biederman, Patsy Patten was secretary that year and Dixie Scott treasurer. The Clamo Annual for 1933 in the freshman class history said: Marion Schaeffer is the out- standing athlete in the class, making major letters in track and baseball and a minor letter in football. Much is expected in coming years of Robert Wike and John Schomogyf' How accurate that crystal gazing reporter was, time has shown. Schaeffer has gone on to a state championship in track and to the captaincy of the football team. Schomogy has been on the football team, and captain of the basket- ball team, while Wike has been prominent in foot- ball. Mr. Cretcher, who was then in his first year at Clayton High, demonstrated his immediate popu- larity by being chosen as chief sponsor of the class as sophomores. Patsy Patten was president that year, with Sara McDade as vice-president, Jack Brereton as secretary, and Bill Gephart, treasurer. The high point of the Junior Year was the brilliant Junior Prom. Harriet Kingsbacker was crowned queen of the prom with Aarolyn Koplowitz, Dundee Autenreith and Florence Rosvall as maids. President that year was Allen Cook. His vice-president was Sara McDade, secretary Irwin Biederman, and treas- urer Jack Brereton. In their last year, the seniors reelected Allen Cook to the presidency, made Sara McDade vice-president once more, Bill Gephart secretary and Bob Lynch treasurer. The Senior Play was the thrilling murder mystery The Thirteenth Chair, by Bayard Veiler. Patsy Patten and Morris Sherman had the leads, Marjorie Sebastian and Gus Mackensen were the ingenue and juvenile, respectively, while Irwin Biederman led the supporting cast of Charles Gulledge, Joe Edlin, Sara McDade, Jeanette Becker, Martha Zollman, Betsy Deane, Brohna Altman, Drew Luten, Kennedy Steele, Glenn McCarty, and Bob Lynch. Beatrice Schwartz was assistant director. Outstanding scholastically have been Irwin Bieder- man, Eleanor Browne, Beatrice Schwartz, Dorothy Royse, Drew Luten, and Patsy Patten, all of which made the National Honor Society in their junior year. As usual, many seniors have been active in school affairs. In publications, Jules Schweig was Editor of the Clamo and Irwin Biederman was Managing Editor of the Clamo and Editor of the Annual. fCnnlinued on page 342 U61 -.-LY Senior Will We, the members of the Senior Class of 1937, being of comparatively sound mind, do hereby make our last will and testament. To the Juniors we bequeath the center section in the auditorium. Defend it always, to the last ditch, against any invaders. in To the Sophomores we bequeath our dignity, since they seem to need it most. To the Freshmen we bequeath our way with the teachers, and our ability to make and use ponies. In addition to these general bequests, there are several personal bequests which we here list: Jane Allen bequeaths her extraordinary ability at making eyes to Adrienne Palan, with the admoni- tion to use this power carefully. Brohna Altman leaves her quiet manner to Caro- lyn Jelenko, who seems to have earned it. Lucy Ann Clapper leaves her nose for news to Marjorie Higgins. Allen Cook leaves his ability to memorize Mr. Jennings' memory assignments to whoever succeeds him in Senior English. -Milton Cohen leaves that certain something he has with Freshmen girls to Wallace MacLean. Keith Crellin leaves his younger brother Mike, and Jack Brereton, Bob. Elizabeth Ellis leaves her cool contralto to Mar- jorie Stormont. Charles Gulledge leaves the right to wear white shoes in the middle of December to any worthy successor. Joe Edlin leaves his political machine to Jerry Grodsky. Virginia Kletzker leaves her way with Miss Sora- ghan to Ann White, who is already skilled in its usage. Janice Hansen leaves her voluminous portfolio of photos to Evelyn Baker. Henry Henderson leaves his quiet Southern man- ner to Dickson Knott. Charles May leaves his ability to eat bananas with great rapidity to Charles Gundelach. Gus Mackensen leaves his perennial role of the juvenile in Dramatic Guild plays to Dan Levey. Drew Luten leaves his position as the male Dorothy Parker of the Clamo to Don Abrams. Patsy Patten leaves the Dramatic Guild without its actress-director. Dorothy Remley leaves her air of studied non- chalance to Edith Heath. Gwen Seigle leaves her brilliant blue gym shorts to iMiss Larsen. Sara McDade leaves the position of Clamo Queen to her worthiest successor. Mary-Ellen Silverstone leaves her post as president of the Clayton Knitting Association to no one, but fContinued on page 241
