Salida lla lfze Seniaai If everything goes well, twenty-eight seniors will receive degrees on May twenty- fifth in Memorial Chapel. These seniors have been doing something besides studying. Last fall when they first took their chapel seats, they realized that they were an excep- tionally small graduating class and that they would have to work diligently to do what other classes had done before them. In speaking of sports, the football season reigned last fall and so did our King and Queen. Rees, Neill, Wiedmer, Marlin, and Aitken did their bit to make the games in- teresting. No one will forget the special train to the McPherson game. Even though we miss Dick Rees now, we will remember his being chosen for the All-State football team. After the last football game, Neill and Wiedmer merely changed into basketball suits and showed us action on the court. Wiedmer thrilled many a crowd with his long shots. Pardon me if I seem to dwell on Neill and Wiedmer but they are the senior track men, too. The E club was very active during the year. In speaking of music, senior recitals are in the limelight. Kathryn Musil, Larry Shorer, and Marjorie King gave brilliant performances on the piano and Kathryn Musil, Grace Taylor, and Fred Reinert applied Miss Merritt's teaching to their vocal chords and gave voice recitals. Fred Reinert and Grace Taylor were soloists on the annual Christmas Vesper Service at the Civic Auditorium. Margie King, Kathryn Musil, Grace Taylor and Virginia Beck did solo work in violin, piano, and voice on the Women,s Glee Club trip. Virginia Beck should be praised for her marvelous work as first soprano with the Women's quartet for the past two years. The orchestra will miss the loyalty of King, Musil, Shorer, and Reinert and the band will need two underclassmen to take the drum major positions of Betty Orr and Grace Taylor, and three to fill in for Larry Shorer, Margie King and Lynn Taylor. In speaking of dramatics, the list of seniors should be headed by Marion Hale, who so ably directed the lines of Mrs. Wilkie's religious play, Claudia Procla, Wife of Pilate. Other seniors in the production were Grace Taylor, Betty Orr, and Katy Mu- sil. Wendell Campbell took a prominent part in the winter production Don't Darken My Door. Ardis Taylor presented the C. of E. news each week on the college broad- cast. In speaking of honors, our student commission president, Lynn Taylor, and our senior class president, John Aitken, deserve high praise for the work they have done for the success of the school year. Ardis Taylor received a scholarship to Northwestern University to complete an M. A. degree. Arnold Olson received a fellowship to Van- derbilt for the coming year. Arnold has also received many honors in his debate work. Simon Nieto was given a government job as a translator in a censorship office. Ruea Pendergraft has been teaching in the Emporia Business College. Speaking of love life of the seniors, we head the list with Merton Wisler and Mary Ann Ott. Of course Nieto, Mrs. Wolfe, and Campbell are already married but Wisler and Ott both reached this crisis in life during their senior year. Engaged seniors in- clude Hale, Sharp, Neill, Musil, and Lynn Taylor. W'ith the more important ones out of the way, we turn to the courting stage. King carried on a correspondence courtship with Culp until Ashcraft came to school. Sid Marlin started out the year with Mary Lou Walker, on to Beitz, and from there no one knows, not even Sid. Olson courted Dando, Beck, and Walker. Ruea remained faithful to her Dick in the army and Jean- ette Abell to her Roy in the marines. Betty Orr kept busy with O'Donnell, Aitken, and Wilson, while Grace Taylor kept busy trying to keep Millwee away from the other girls. I14l
