TORCH Senior Class History Late in February, 1931, a group of boys assembled in the Central High School building. They were to be the student body of the newly organized Technical High School. In this group there were thirty juniors who were to become the first Senior Class at Tech. The newly organized Senior Class met in the early part of September and elected their class officers. Stanley Hewitt was elected presidentg Neal Bovee, vice-presidentg Jack Dronfield, secretary, and Alois Kendziora, treasurer. On January 22, 1932, the Senior Class held the school's first Prom at the Y. W. C. A. Our own Green and White Serenaders played for the occasion, We also held two skating parties that were fairly successful. The Seniors participated in all the school activities. They made their entry in the four sports, football, track, swimming, and water polo. They have also been prominent in music. In fact most of our classmates have been successful scholastically, athletically, and socially. We are the first Senior Class to leave the Erie Technical High School. Our time here has been much too short for us to do much in the way of setting a Senior Class standard. We hope that what we have done has made a good im- pression on the future classes in spite of the fact that we have been here slightly over a year. We can truthfully say that we have spent our time profitably at Tech. We, the Senior Class of 1932, will enter into the industrial world and do more than any other organized class could do for its schoolfwe will prove the real value of Tech. l12l
