P Q33 t i i On the basis of four fundamentals for an education: leadership, character, service to the school, and scholarship, the faculty of Dobyns-Bennett elected eighteen members of this class to be the members of the National Honor Society for the year 1941-42. As the final social function of the year 1941, the junior class played host to the Seniors with .1 dinner-dance at the Civic Auditorium. The graduation theme carried out in decorations and programs encouraged even the weakest soulsg tiny diplomas were mementoes of the grand occasion. AND THIQN THIZY WERE SENIORS . . . Mr. Peterson, the class sponsor had to leave in the middle of a busy year, and Mr. Swanson took over the responsibilities of this strenuous job, with Ralph Deck, class prexy, as his able and dynamic assistant. The Senior play this year was really a knock-out. A waluable addition to our music department was the new Hammond electric organ which was installed in our auditorium last year. Beatrice Dail, our Senior organist. has entertained us many times at assembly. The organ is being paid for by the students through the sale of magazines.
