REPRESENTATIVE SENIORS he class of 41 has among those graduating approximately forty representative members from which four are selected by popular senior vote. True to tradition, the outgoing class extends this distinction upon those of its members who excel in Scholarship, Leadership, and Character. Those to receive this unique honor are: Lera Hart, June Wagner, Robert Espenschied, and Robert Jones. Robert is president of the Student Council, and a mighty good one, too. His wit and good humor are always received with welcoming smiles. Bobby was president of our class during our Freshman year, and under his supervision our activities progressed smoothly. Seldom are the requirements necessary for Senior representation so excellently combined in the qualities of one person. Robert excels in Scholarship, Leadership, and Character and is what we call a regular fellow. He who said, One can not have both beauty and brains, should meet Lera. She has worked hard during her four years in high school—in clubs, on committees, and in her studies. Among her favorite clubs are: G rl Reserve, of which she is the Vice President; the National Honor Society of which she is secretary and treasurer; and Thespian and Lead- ers' Club both of which occupy much of her leisure time. Lera has been the only Tenor Saxophonist in the band since she was in the eighth grade. Throughout her four years in high school, she has been a member of the saxophone quartet. As President of the Girl Reserves, June is a shining example of the hopes and aims of all girls. A frown seldom darkens her face and the pep and personality she has is really (if we may say so) it ! Wag, as she is known to all her friends, is a leader in dramatics and was mentioned for the all-star cast of the state when Thespian took the play Auf Wie-dersehn to the state contest. June has all three factors that were used in determining the Representative Seniors: Scholarship, Leadership, and Character. Since the students of Dover High School would not know of whom we are speaking if we call him Robert, we will speak of him as Corkey. Corkey is almost as much a part of the school as the desks and chairs, where his smiling face and unhurried manner seem to put everyone at ease. He has always gone to Dover schools and is welcomed everywhere. The Seniors wisely selected Corkey, among their representative classmates, for although he may not have the highest grades of his class his leadership and character make up the loss.

held a hilarious Barn Party at the Clan Farm, near the close of the first semester. It was complete from straw, cider and doughnuts, to the Virginia Reel. There was 100% attendance and no one could say he did not have a good time. Our gift to the school was the presentation of an electric scoreboard, at the beginning of the basketball season. Incidentally our basketball squad was considered among the first four in the state this year by the state's sports authorities. The Senior Class and Thespian Club formed a partnership and staged the Broadway hit, “Our Town. During the past four years several of our ranks have distinguished themselves outside of our school as well as in. Margaret Rieker has repeatedly been acclaimed for her magnificent handling of the marimba. June Wagner received the honor of being placed on the All State cast at the Ohio Speech contest for her role in Auf Weidersehn. On the gridiron our Senior representatives were: Vince Pre-trella, Ray Mathews, Jack Graham, Jack Marsh, Dick Leaders, Tony Cercone, Joe Ross, Fred Barkley, Jerome Clark, Jim Willis, Don Moore, and Kenny Miller. Two of our class members were placed on the honorable mention list of the All State basketball team. They were Jim Willis and Tom Becker. Voin Boich returned to the court after an injury; Bob Jenkins, a new comer; Joe Ross, Bob Barcus and Floyd Shutt, all were members of the Varsity squad. Thus ends a chapter in our life. We have been taught, and now our job will be to go out and make use of our education. The inspiration which Dover High has placed before us will always be a dominant factor in our futures. Five classmates have been instrumental in the success of our Senior year in high school. They are Jack Graham, our President; Armand Corsi, Vice President; Kenny Miller, Secretary and Treasurer; Corkey Jones, assembly representative; and Peggy Warther, Historian. To lead us through our Senior year we searched for a capable leader and found him in Jack Graham. Graney, as he is nick-named, has been end on the varsity football squad for two years. He climaxed his football career by scoring the last touchdown of the season against New Phila in our last game of the season. He is also quite a pugilist. Jack has conducted our class meetings and has handled the executive duties exceptionally well. Armand Corsi was elected to act as Jack's assistant, and he has capably filled the position. One of our future “Louis Pastures, Armand is the possessor of a magnetic smile. He is very active in extracurricular activities and is a member of the National Honor Society. The financial secretary of the class of 1941 was Kenny Miller. Outstanding in football and particularly in basketball, Kenneth had the misfortune of being injured during the gridiron season and was forced to miss the majority of our basketball games. Each class appoints a representative to act on an assembly committee, which arranges all assembly programs for the year. The Senior representative this year was Corkey Jones. He will also be in charge of our long awaited Senior Day Assembly. Peggy Warther was elected to the position of Class Historian in our freshman year and has capably recorded every turn and move our class has made.
