4 VS BITS OF HEAVEN 41 ! Brightest constellation in the Emerson sky at present! May you read these records now and sad years hence to recall happy days. As seniors, we took our customary lead by opening the school year with a class meeting on October 1. Matthew Kozar, our president, called the meeting to order. He introduced the other officers to the class and also the sponsors. Miss Harrison was introduced as our head senior sponsor to supervise all events. Remember our Rug Cutters’ Ball held on November 8, with Nilah Gene Hudson and her committee responsible for the success of this fall party? Mr. Chance and Miss Sherman were sponsors in charge. Another feature of the winter season was the post-holiday dance held on Janu¬ ary 31. Powder blue and gold, our class colors, were emphasized in the decora¬ tions. Miss Kotora and Coach Rolfe were faculty sponsors assisted by Bill Pitch- ford and his able committee. We realized the nearness of gradua¬ tion when on March 25 we ordered our invitations and calling cards. Miss Cromer and Dan Mistrovich and his com¬ mittee selected the style for the an¬ nouncements. May 16 found us attending the senior play “The Final Triumph,” and the an¬ nual homecoming dance. Irene Stropke and her committee were assisted in the ★ arrangements for this affair by Miss Rowe, Mr. Chance, and Miss Paul. The seniors showed their sense of humor on June 4, which was Senior Stunt Day. Violet llinkovich and Shirley Alger were in charge of the script for the production. On June 6, our last day in school, we walked into the auditorium for Class Day. With it came the presentation of our memorial to the school by Evelyn Kieft, chairman of that committee, who worked with Mr. Wise as faculty spon¬ sor. Our last will and testament, prepared by Richard Lewke and his class day com¬ mittee, was read. Also, we relinquished our scepter to next year’s senior class. On June 8, we attended Baccalau- reatte at the City Church with Reverend Clark as speaker. A lump in our throat grew larger. Fern Miller was at the head of this committee and Miss Harrison gave advice. Convocation, with the meeting of graduates from all the schools, was ex¬ citing for us all and we will remember that day, June 10, for a long time. With the strains of “Pomp and Cir¬ cumstance we marched down the aisle of Memorial Auditorium on June 12 to receive our diplomas. Lillian Sacketos and Evelyn Kiieft gave the valedictory and the salutatory addresses respectively. James Finn and Jerome Goldman were also speakers. On June 14, in Masonic Temple, we danced to the melodious music of our last social event in high school, the Senior Farewell. With Bill Georges as chairman and Miss Sayers, Miss Harrison, and Mr. Chance planning it, it was a great success and will long be remem¬ bered by the stars of tomorrow and Emersonians forever.
