the Senior B's to the departing Senior A's. ln the estimation of many, the affair was the best party ever given to any Senior class. ln September, I923, the class entered on its final lap of the four year's journey through Franklin. At last the two classrooms were combined and both boys and girls went together to 402. Paul Spencer was re-elected as president, but the remaining officers were new, Ruth Mattingly was elected vice-presidentg Alice Karhn, secretaryg David Lee and Ethel Twait, treasurers: and Betty Davison, social chairman. The first social function as Seniors was a beach party at Santa Monica, where wienies were roasted and the conces- sions at Ocean Park looked into very thoroughly. Then came the great argument of the year, Colors. Arrangement fol- lowed arrangement until they were finally chosen, red and white. Then the matter was dropped as it was hoped, forever. Things went along fairly smoothly until a business meeting at the house of Cameron Coyle, when the long forgotten color question was again brought up, and the decision made to revote on the question the next day. This time red and white was defeated and orange and silver won. fThank good- ness, that question was settled forever.J Shortly afterwards practice on the songs for graduation was started and then for the first time came the realization that the end was really in sight. A Senior A party was held in the gymnasium on January 4, with Betty Davison working hard to make the party a big success. Because of the cele- brity and greatness of the Senior A's, the Senior B's decided they would ap- preciate greatly the honor of feteing them. January the l8th was the date set, but the celebrations did not end there, for on Monday, January 27, just four days before commencement, the class went to the mountains for a final good time. A class history would be far from complete without mention of the classroom teachers, Miss Jessup and Mr. Montgomery, who were with the class both at the start and the finish. An expression of class sentiment toward them would read something like this: They have stuck by us and fought for us. and two better teachers cannot be found. We, the class of W. '24 will never forget them and their precepts will be the guiding principles of our lives. To the teachers who have helped the class along its course at Franklin High is extended thanks for their words of advice and gratitude for the pleas- ant four years spent at our Alma Mater, Franklin High School. Mr. SniH:en, Boys' Vice-Principal, also holds a warm place in the hearts of the members of the class, for he was one of the B9 teachers who started them on their way and it was only by his counsel and friendship that many were so well started. The class takes great pleasure and pride in including Mr. Sniffen in the family of W '24. 17
