Allton, Codner, Martineau, Bales Freshmen Year: SENIUH CLASS HISTUHY OFFICERS Donald Allton .... President Lorraine Martineau' . . Vice-President Dorothy Codner . . . Secretary Richard Bales .... Treasurer This year's Senior Class has decided to merely record one or two of the most import- ant events which have taken place in each of our past four years, since if we were to ex- pound all of our merits it would take more pages than Orville Willson would allow. 1. We were the greenest Freshmen Class ever to enter the Eastman School of Music. 2. B Parish terrorized Jesse Louise Franklin with a chocolate pie during 1 Freshman Initiation. Sophomore Year: 1. Organized the best hell week yet. 2. Won the basketball and volleyball tournaments. Junior Year: 1. Started the Barn Dance. 2. Resurrected the Score. Senior Year: 1. All of us graduated. 2. Lenny Kahn transferred to the Class of '37. h Watch the degeneration of the School Orchestra and Chorus during the years to come. All we can say is that if the School wishes to uphold the standard which 1 we have set during the last four years, the entering class of 1936 had better be large and talented. 44
