Since that time a few have dropped out, but newcomers have joined the class to take their places. This group has developed into the graduating class of 1940. Its members have shown their outstanding ability in many fields: scholarship, athletics, music, debate, journalism, dramatics or any other activities. Thirty-three seniors were elected to the National Honor Society. The seniors have carried out their duties well and have done their best to promote good will and student cooperation Within the school. The underclassmen will do well to follow their example in the years to come. . The first class meeting was held in September and officers were elected. The presi- dent appointed several committees to carry out the work during the year. The main social event was the senior banquet, which was held at the Broadview Hotel on January 20. Following the banquet, the juniors presented the seniors with a prom in the gym- nasium. The class also planned several social events for the last week of school when the seniors are excused from classes. This class will have the privilege of introducing two new features during commence- ment week. They will Wear caps and gowns, and the Baccalaureate and Commence- ment exercises will be held in the new city auditorium. SiIf997l
