Senior Advisers Next on our list of senior events was our class ban- quet which was held on the evening of lune l2 at the Radisson Hotel. We chose as the theme for our banquet one of Shake- speare's most famous quo- tations, All the world's a stage. This was effec- tively carried out in the program for the evening and in the decorations. N.,-A Then on lune l4, the school orchestra struck the beginning bars of the March of the Priests from -Athahan by Mendelssohn' Mrs. Miller ond Miss Tupper and we seniors with a sparkle of joy as well as sadness in our eyes began to march down the aisle of the auditorium for our Commencement exercises. As we marched, our dreams of the future, and mostly our recollections of the past were as traditional as the caps and gowns which we wore. The diplomas which we had so long awaited were given out by Mr. Samuelson. Many special awards were granted. Two people that we seniors deeply appreciate are Miss Tupper, our busi- ness adviser, and Mrs. Miller, our social adviser. They both certainly deserve much credit for the tremendous part they played in making our senior year a success. The advisers of each individual senior advisory also deserve much credit. Many times when we had problems, large or small, they were quickly solved by these advisers. We can never thank them enough for all the wonderful aid and advice they have given us throughout our high school days.

Instead of the traditional large ad- visories, our class remained in small groups for our senior year. Each of the twelve groups, advised by a helpful and understand- ing adviser, elected one student as a member of the Senior Cabinet. The Cab- inet assisted our four class officers in the planning of and serving at such class functions as our Class Par- Our Senior Prom, the Sweetheart Swing, was held on February 10. To carry out the theme of Valen- tine's Day the hall was decorated with hearts and cupids made of red and white paper. And the couples danced to the music of Red Wolfe and his orchestra. Graduation festivities began on May 23 with a reception at which our moth- ers were honored guests. The reception began with a program in the auditorium, and was followed by a tea in the school library. Finally the big week came, our last at Edison. The first great event of the week was our Baccalaureate Service on Sunday, Iune 10. Dr. Paul Holmer, who graduated from Edison in Iune, 1934, inspired us as he delivered his uplifting message. Music presented by the combined voices of the Choral Club and Choir under the direction of Mr. Elmer Sodergren added to the beauty of this memor- able religious service. Everyone present could not help receiving a feeling of sacredness and repose. lt is an occasion which cannot soon be forgotten. Standing: R. Niznik, W. Houck, I. Hunter, P. Kruskg, I. Portlfmce, A.

Then the students maintaining the top grades in the graduating class receive the highest honors that can be given to a high school senior, that of valedictorian and salutatorian.
