Twenty-two Senior Class History NI-Iflbfls form Clzzzrarfzfr 111111 C1l!l!'IlFfFT is D.f'sfi11yJ'. 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.

Not only must he have a good speaking voice, but the ability to write a speech and the per- sonality to deliver it as well. Joseph Salsburg, Senior lVIantle Ora- tor, proved himself a worthy man for this oflice. Little need be said of his numerous and varied accomplishments for they are already well-known. Let it suffice to say that Joe has participated in many extra-curricular activities only a few of which are the Senior Play, Opera, llflinstrels, Board of Publications and hflasquers. A scholar, too, is Joe, a fact easily evidenced by his membership in the National Honor Society for two years. A good speaker, a good student, a good man. Trumzfy-forzf' JUNIOR MANTLE ORATOR EUGENE CAVANAUGH T was no easv thing for the Jun- iors to select a Mantle Orator this year, for talent was present in great abundance. However, after a hotly contested election, Eugene Cavanaugh emerged victorious. Eugene is quite diminutive in stature but this has only served as a spur to his ambitions. In spite of his size, he began to rise above the average run of his classmates by being chosen for last year's Christmas Play. After entering such organizations as lVIasquers, Aviation Club, German Club and the ranks of the Cafeteria Ushers, his period of as- cendancy continued until we find it cul- minated, for the time being at least, in the role of Junior lliantle Orator. Good luck, Eugene! llflay you rise to undreamed of heights.
