SENIOR HISTORY Fifty-one self-conscience, bewiloered, and bashful freshmen enrolled in Dor- H| FOUR YEARS AGO. AFTER THE USUAL BEGIfJNERS1 ERRORS, WE SOON WERE VELL ESTAB- LISHED AS A CLASS AND BEGAN TO GIVE THE OTHER CLASSES A GREAT DEAL OF COMPETITION. Soon after the beginning of this school year the following officers vcre elected: President, Marvin Tauchen; Vice President, Beatrice Paulson; Secretary, GLADYS BrECKE; AND TREASURER, EUGENE L|NDAU. WlTHE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF OUR CLASS ADVISOR, Mr. KETTERL, VVE STARTED THAT BUSY SENIOR YEAR. Marvin Tauchen, David Schreiber, Marjorie Lindboe, and Evelyn Scidmore WERE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT OUR CLASS IN TIE STUDENT COUNCIL. All four years OUR class was well represented in all extra-curr I CULAR ACT- IVITIES— SAND, GLEE CLUB, FORENSICS, SPORTS, AND ALL THE VARIOUS CLUBS. The outstanding EVENTS OF WHICH VC can be justly proud, were THE CARNIVALS AND TOURNAMENTS. WE PROVED THAT VC WERE SUPER-SALESMEN AND HAD POPULAR CLASS MEMBERS BY WINNING THE POPULARITY CONTEST EVERY YEAR. OUR CONTESTANTS THIS YEAR WERE ARLENE HAROER AND KENNETH PAUL. During our Junior nd Senior years we were victorious in the strenuous con- test FOR CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP—THE CLASS TOURNAMENT. IN OUR FRESHMEN AND SOPH- OMORE YEARS WE WERE NOT QUITE AS SUCCESSFUL, BUT THE FIRST YEAR VC RECEIVED SEC- OND PLACE—THE FIRST TIME A FRESHMAN CLASS EVEN PLACEO THAT HIGH Each year a D.A.R. award is given to the graduating girl, outstanding in LEADERSHIP, SCHOLARSHIP, AND CITIZENSHIP. BEVERLY PAULSON VfS SELECTED TO RE- CEIVE THIS HONOR OF 19 3. We ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO YEARS AS SUCCESSFUL AS THOSE VC SPENT IN Dor-Hi.
