Senior Class Officers History As the end of the year approaches we recall past events and realize what an active and happy time we have had Leading the parade of events was the first day of school and the discovery of the long awaited new wing and cafeteria. Next, came the first football game with T. J. which was played here and ended in a tie. Senior Class meetings and the election of president and vice-president. and later a January chairman, caused much talk and speculation. Maybe It’s Love”, a comedy, was presented by the Dramatics Club and was acclaimed by all. The Thanksgiving holidays came along and were greeted with cheers as was the result of the Thanksgiving day football game, score GW M—WL 7. New on the program was a senior football queen and court. The team was later honored at a football banquet with the Quill and Palm Dance following. Long awaited Senior Day finally arrived and the Seniors took over the school with cries of glee. The next happy event was the dismissal of school for the Christmas holidays. Exams approached and January graduates prepared to leave. Baccalaureate Service came first, followed by a gala Senior Prom and Commencement. Then, a new term began. A marvelous minstrel show was presented by the Music Club. The Juniors treated the Seniors to the Annual Junior-Senior Prom. The Seniors again took the spotlight on their hilarious Class Night. The days slipped by and the June Class had its Baccalaureate Sermon. The enjoyable prom was followed by the June Commencement. and thus our Senior year ended. rj Edward Sheridan President Richard Hutcheson Vice-President CHARLES EVERLY Chairman. January Class
