D URELY the habits we have formed at Coughlin will aid us in making our destiny one of which we may well be proud. Cooperation, thought- fulness, accuracy, truthfulness, dehniteness, and competence, these are only a few of the habits acquired during our high school career. As we, the class of 33 now come to the parting of the ways, it is with pride that we look back upon our sojourn at Coughlin. Wheii wie first entered its halls in September, 1929, awe stricken we gazed about and wondered if we would be able to adapt ourselves to new friends and teachers. After considerable hazing from the upper classmen we finally became adjusted to our new curriculum and surroundings. The school sensed our arrival in its midst by our keen interest in athletics, the one activity open to freshies,'. Our freshman year ended rather sadly for we had to bid farewell to many of our most intimate friends who were to attend the newly completed llleyers High School. As Sophomores we returned an integral part of the school for We were now eligible members of Sorosis, Clio, the Art Clubs, and Buskins. Our unusual dram- atic talent was displayed before the entire student body in several amateur productions. In our Junior year we gained prominence through our unrivaled interest in every line of activity. The Publicity Bueau which had been recently organized was comprised of several members of the class of 33 , selected because of their journal- istic ability. It Q lldr. Super chose twenty-four Junior Ushers with difficulty, since many stu- dents possessed a high scholastic standing. Our talents were evinced also in the Glee Clubs, Accompanist Class, and lllasquers. Entrance into our Senior year was marked by mingled joy and sadness, sad- ness because our beloved hir. Brefdinger had to leave, and joy because his place was taken by one with whom we were well acquainted, lXfIr. Super. The social life of the school was enlarged because of the progressive nature of the class of 33 . Besides the usual school affairs a St. Patrick's Day dance and several othe1's of a like nature were held. The Opera, hflinstrels, and Senior Play were most successful due to the supreme efforts put forth by the Seniors. Several innovations were made this year among which was an exhibition of the work of the entire school displayed for the benefit of the parents, also concerts were given at various times by the band in order to buy new uniforms. Now that our school year has come to a close the history of the class of '33,' likewise ends. It has been a pleasure to cooperate with our new principal, llflr. Super, for at all times we felt that he had our interests close at heart. In future years we hope that the students under his kind supervision will enjoy their days at Coughlin as much as We have. S0 now we place the toga of responsibility upon your shoulders, class of '34-, and may you continue to uphold the fine ideals which we, your predecessors, have sought to establish.

For judging from her execution of the duties of vice-president of Sorosis as well as the many other posi- tions entrusted to her, we feel sure that the Class of '33 have made no error in their selec- tion. Charming, good-natured, loyal, these seem rather stereo- typed expressions to apply to Florence. Yet if we wish to tell the whole truth about her, we may call her charming, loy- al, good-natured, and still our voeabulary is inadequate. The most we can say is-VVe're proud of you, Flo! 1 tees of the senior class a chance to accomplish more than they have previously been able to, elections this year were held early in the second semester instead of at the end of the year. But no matter when they were held, the most logical senior for the oifice of president was Wfillits Coleman. The many activities in which VVillits participated, orchestra, Masquers, Board of Publica- tions, and many others, have given him experience in coop- eration and leadership neces- sary for his oflice. NVillits always seems to have an un- canny ability to gather friends. seemed the logical person to handle the hnances of the sen- ior class. For this reason he has alwavs seen fit to run for the office of senior treasurer. However this year the head bank cashier stated, though not in so many words, that he did not choose to run, so the lot fell to William Rouse, assist- ant bank cashier and vice-pres- ident of the Cashiers' Associa- tion. The seniors felt that Bill was more than worthy of the office, for they selected him from the rest of the candi- dates. Our sto1'y has a happy ending, for Bill executed his duties remarkably well.
