HOWARD NILSEN President Under the leadership of Howard Nilsen, presi- dent, and Dorothy Hobbs, vice president, the high senior class has played a prominent part in the school activities this term. A senior advisory board was inaugurated to help the low sophomores get acquainted with the student body and school regulations. Each senior on the board was given five incoming sophs to advise. The seniors helped them with their studies, their difficulties, and their troubles during their first time in a new school. Another event of the semester was the Senior- Sophomore Reception. A dance was held in the library as a get-together for the youngest and the oldest of Washington's classes. The very big worry for Charles Smith, treas- urer. was to keep the expenses down. In order to help defray graduation expenses, a theater party was given by the senior class at the New Balboa Theater. Entertainment was supplied be- tween pictures. It consisted of an amateur hour with talent from the school. A prize was given to the winner who turned out to be Cecile Tierney with her imitations of screen stars. Other mono- Dorothy Hobbs Charlotte Alger Charles Smith Vice President Secretary Treasurer High Senior Class Officers logues, dances, and songs added to the enjoyment of the affair. To add to the class social program the senior class held a luncheon under the direction of its president. This affair was held in the cafeteria, November 23. Along with the generous slices of turkey given each person went a considerable amount of entertainment. The affair of great importance to all graduat- ing classes is the Graduation Dance which was held on December 11. This dance is expected to set a standard for all future graduating classes. All senior affairs were capably recorded by Charlotte Alger, class secretary. The notes are read at each senior meeting if so voted. Miss Marie Kirwin, senior adviser, is to be congratulated on the w'ay she had the seniors toe the mark. Had it not been for her careful check of all seniors, many might not have been able to graduate this term. Miss Kirwin spent much of her valuable time and energy outside and inside of school helping graduates reach the high school requirements. She also will be the one who will see to it that graduation exercises run smoothly. Class of December, By Shirley Kahn 937 We wish that we could think of a way To tell the students why We leave this sturdy school behind With many a tremulous sigh. When first we came, this building Was hollow, empty, and new, And many a noiseless echo Cried out as we w'ent through. Page Fourteen
