Ray Davenport was elected president for the first semester and a staff was selected to work on our year book, The Swastika. In football the senior boys went big. Paul Galyen captained the team and ten men earned “G’s”. Joe Yelikis won the trophy for good sportsmanship. A collegiate carnival was staged to make money for the Swastika. Everyone had a good time and it proved a financial success as well. Bernard Morgan was elected president for the second semester, the most eventful term for all seniors. We are looking forward to the play, the junior-senior banquet and the graduating exercises. BERNARD MORGAN President, Second Semester Buell C. Reid “For every why he had a u-herefore.” Ak.

Our cBoav() With a knowledge of the fact that this group of men has had great responsibility in managing our school, and has received very little credit except a picture in the annual, let us all try to realize their importance and in the future hold them more in esteem. W. A. McMahon Here is the most serious man of them all, hut no progress is made in the world without men who arc serious thinkers. A man of his type is always in demand. Albert Humrichouse Although some of the students arc not familiar with this man, they recognize him in their minds as one of those who helps to make our school a success. J. K. Galbreath Mr. Galhrcath is a man to he admired for having acquired both success and friends in Georgetown although he has heen here only a short time. James L. White, Pres. Since he is the oldest man on the hoard, he must he the wisest, for hasn’t it heen said, “Age is the soul of wisdom ? J. II. Myers Misquoting the proverb, Variety is the spice of the board,” and Dr. Myers furnishes the good disposition along with other admirable qualities. R. Allen Thornton There is no doubt about who the best looking man on the board is. Mr. Thornton is proof enough that there is such a combination as good looks and a genial disposition. C. H. Henry Mr. Henry has two reasons for being interested in the high school, his two sons, but we think he is the kind of man that would naturally be interested.
