Senior Close History For the past few years CHS has been vociferously informed of the remarkable talents and general quality of the class of '39 Most of this praise, it must be admitted, can be traced to the members of the class themselves, but it cannot be denied that the group that entered in September, l935, has accomplished more than any single class in the history of the school. Concrete examples of these achievements are the winning of the P.T.A. membership contest for the three years in which it was held, the proportionally greater number of activity ticket holders each semester than other classes, the winning of the lntra-Mural Speech Tourna- ment for the two successive seasons of its exist- ence, superiority in intra-mural athletics, the presentation of excellent social affairs climaxed by the never-to-be-forgotten Junior Prom of l938, and outstanding individual contributions to every school activity, As a final accomplish- ment the class can be given credit for being the principal sponsor of the newly organized Student Government Association, and upon its respon- sibility mainly has rested the burden of getting the new activity off to a good start, ln a class producing a large number of capable leaders, Betty Wilson is distinguished by the honor of holding a class office for each of her four years, Lloyd l-lerpel closely follows this record with the class presidency for two years, secretary-treasuryship for one, and the all-important position of Student Council Presi- dent in his senior year. Jordan Sheperd's election to class treasurer for three successive years, Bob Wunsch's and Dan Moore's offices for two years, and Ann PurnelI's vice-presidency for one year and editorship of both the newspaper and the annual prove that the class has made wise selections and has supported them consistently. On the athletic field the senior class has provided leaders as well as ardent supporters. Gleitman, Rosvall, Moore, Wunsch, Sheperd, Polack, Darnton, Herpel, Kosky, Brandenburger, Weiss, and Shaw have all starred in at least one major athletic activity, Many others have been associated with A , B , and C teams. Lowenhaupt, Mayer, Goldblum, l-larvey, Barronf Peck, Walkowitz, and Blackstad have led the girls' athletics. Page Ten ln the freshman year the class assumed its active position immediately after winning the P. TA. contest. The major class social event of the year was a joint St, Valentine's Day party with the class of '38 The officers were: Moore, President, Wilson, Vice-President, and Herpel, Secretary-Treasurer, At the closing assembly of i936 Mr. Burris announced that of the fifty- two members of the Top Ten, twenty-six were members of the class of '39 Herpel was elected President for the sopho- more year, Purnell, Vice-President, Wilson, Secretary, Jordan Sheperd, Treasurer. This year was marked by a successful effort to raise money for the following year's Prom by holding two dances. During the second year of the l-lerpel administration, i937-38, Wunsch was Vice- President, Wilson, Secretary, Sheperd, Treasurer. It was at this time that the juniors staged their mammoth Prom and capped the year by winning all intra-mural events including the first annual speech tourney. The National l-lonor Society initiated Darnton, Sheperd, Wunsch, Purnell, Wilson, and Burris into its membership in their junior year. Wunsch was elected senior President, Moore, Vice-President, Wilson, Secretary, Shep- erd, Treasurer. In its final year, the class contributed leaders to every school organization. Moore, Sheperd, Goldberg, Lowenhaupt, Painter, Wilson, Purnell, Stout, and Gundelach all head various organizations. The overwhelming major- ity of Scribblers are '39 graduates. On December l6 and I7 the seniors pre- sented Seven Sisters , a riotously burlesqued comedy, before large audiences and convulsed critics. The leading roles were played by Pfeffer, Shurig, Wunsch, Wilson, and Moore. Late in the year thirteen seniors were ad- mitted to membership in the National Honor Society: Polack, P, Mayer, Pfeffer, Herpel, Lowenhaupt, Moore, Stumpe, Wittcoff, R. Fried- man, Shurig, Sapin, Lynch, and Langtry.
