The class decided to be original 'Q and to break away from the custom set by the preceding classes, that of hiring ' an orchestra for our social functions, so a class orchestra I was started under the able leadership of J ack Kelman. -2 Our Class Orchestra was not our only step forward. A v - dancing class, started under the supervision of Cecilia Kuret- sky and Chester Kowalczyk, proved to be a great success, and helped a lot in bringing the class closer together. The class party was held in the early part of December, and although the fellows proved a bit shy at first, they soon lost their diiiidence and danced all afternoon to the syncopating melodies sup- plied by our orchestra. Every one felt amply repaid for the twenty-five cents expended, and much praise was given to the party committee, which consisted of the executive council of the class. 1 We had received our rings by this time and, in a superior frame of mind, we entered our last, long-looked-forward-to year. We now were high and mighty SENIORS. Twenty-fifve

The boys immediately called a class meeting and elected ofii- cers, taking no chances of being ruled by girl officers.

Vice President-J ack Kelman. Secretary--George Gideon. Treasurer-John Jenny. Later events proved our rush to have been futile. The girls still elected their own class officers and all our worry over petticoat rule was just so much wasted energy. Their officers were: President-Eva Dahl. Vice President-Vivian Tricebock. Secretary-Florence Miller. Treasurer-Virginia Lowe. Things moved along smoothly under co-education and we all soon forgot that we had ever been isolated in our respective halves of the building. Our B class party turned out to be a howling success under the leadership of Isabella Ward and Frank Fiala. With Purves Pullen as master of cere- monies, the entertainment was out of the ordinary, and with Norm Shermer's orchestra supplying the music1-I What more could be desired? We were fast approaching the last half of our se11ior year and, to save time, the boys called a class meeting for the purpose of electing officers for the term. The following were the officials selected: President-Dick Wagner. Vice President-Frank Fiala. Secretary-George Gideon. Treasurer-John Jenny. The girls also showed good judgment in the election of their officers. These were: SCAN President-Eva Dahl. Vice President-Isabella Ward. Secretary-Florence Miller. Treasurer-Virginia Lowe. A few weeks later the term ended, and we left for tl1e summer determined to return ill the fall ready to do big things in a big way.
