- - -i- Qfir- o s o G A M- - - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES A word or two about our dances, For just a moment if you please, For they will never be forgotten, These dances, these social activities. First of all, we introduce Our girl friend to the chaperons. All the way down the line we lead her, Introducing her as Miss-er-Jones. This saves a lot of trouble, Because Jones is really a common name. Otherwise this introducing Woiild be nothing short of a guessing game. At last the orchestra is playing, So on the dance floor we must go, And to the strains of a popular number, Gently and closely sway to and fro. And while a crooner softly croons, As softly as a summer breeze, Many of us are probably wondering What would happen if he'd sneeze. Then suddenly someone becomes embarrassed And immediately everybody knows That they are not the only ones Who stepped on the girl friend's toes. Nevertheless, the memories of These dances we'll always treasure, Because these social activities Have given us hours of pleasure. i331

ww- -------------- o s o G A --1- -------------- M H-34 TI-IE STUDENT SENATE The Student Senate is an important part of any student body. It serves as an essential link between the students and the faculty, thus rendering the students a service and the faculty an aid in dealing with the men of the school. The Senate is really the voice of the students, which at times has a certain right and privilege to be heard. Due to this cooper- ative system of student government the school as a whole is better managed, the fellows more content and happier, and a be tter discipline maintained. As has been the custom in past years, a given number of the members of the Senate are elected by the students and a number are appointed by the faculty, When the group had been completed, they in turn held a meeting at which time they elected officers and decided upon the adoption of a worthy constitution. Frank Graff received the honor of being named as president, Harry Lehner was made vice-president, and William Hollis was elected secretary. The remaining body of the Senate was constituted as follows: George Longanecker, Hagey Campbell, Sam Campbell, Bruce Hackman, Wallace McNeil, Barrick Wagner, Bert Dehlin, William Hindman. These representatives did their part to the best of their ability, giving the needs and desires of the students undivided attention throughout the year. TI-IE RING COMMITTEE One of the foremost thoughts in the minds of the Seniors was the choosing of a Senior ring. Therefore the first thing our president did was to appoint a ring committee with Harry Lehner as president. After much hard thinking and much debating the contract was awarded to Elliotts of Philadelphia. The ring selected was unanimously approved by the class. It is a blue onyx set in a gold setting with Gettysburg Academy engraved around the stone. On each side of the stone is a replica of the school portico and the date. Much favorable comment has been heard on the ring from outsiders. E573
