19-SIMCOE-3 1 There are eight Seniors receiving Torch Honor Pins-the final awards for membership in the Society during three successive years'-one as a Sophomore, one as a Junior, one as a Senior. They are: Florence Bratton, Louise Dressel, Margaret McEwen, Maude Myers, Erma Plett, Margaret Plett, Doris Roberts, and Reo Young. We also had representatives of the Class participating in the major activities of the Student Body. Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club, the Torch Honor Society, and the Simcoe Staff. The Class presented a play on December 19 that added a very wel- come sum to our depleted treasury. The Senior Ball, the last social event staged by the Senior Class be- fore graduation, was very successful. As we came in happy and very thrilled Freshmen-so we go out, happy and very thrilled Seniors. We leave to the Student Body a memorial in the gymnasium floor- a memorial that the Senior Class has been proud to have one-third share in presenting. Thus, with a last gesture, we surrender our privilege of being Stu- dents of Goldendale High School, and we sincerely regret that it is neces- sary to leave our School, as we take another step onward in our careers. L. J. D. '31 1i SENIOR WILL We, the class of 1931, in our usual good health and sound minds, being at our height of perfection and in unusually good condition for market, corn and wheat fed and guaranteed to bring top prices, de hereby make this our last will and testament, in the presence of the chief execu- tionerg hereby revoking all wills and testaments by us heretofore made.

19-SIMCOE-3 l SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As a meteorite flashes through the sky, so the Class of 1931 has flashed through these four short years of work and play that are now be- hind us. At the beginning they seemed long, but now that we are at the end, there is a panicky, half-sad feeling at the thought of leaving these favorite halls and corridors. Once upon a time we were Freshmen. There were forty-six of us. Our President, Margaret Moore, Vice-president, Fred Lear, Secretary-treas- urer, Charles Spoon, Class Representative, Douglas Ledbetter, and Class Adviser, Miss Hale were our pilots through this first year. After the initiation-a Senior compliment-our high school career definitely began. Our pilots for the second year were Margaret Plett, President, Louise Dressel, Vice-president, Charles Spoon, Secretary-treasurer, Erma Plett, Simcoe Representative, and Miss Lewis, Class Adviser. Though our number was somewhat less than the preceding year we were just begin- ning to be active in Student Body affairs-being represented in both Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, football, and boys' and girls' basketball, and in the Torch Honor Society, a scholastic organization. It was as upper-classmen however, that we definitely proved our ability. We had three lettermen among the boys and four among the girls. Our class play was an hilarious comedy entitled Fifty-Fifty and was successfully presented by a chosen group. The Junior Prom was even more successful-the decorations making a decided impression. Several members represented the Class in both Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, and also in the Torch Honor Society. Our officers for this year were Margaret Plett, President, Charles Spoon, Vice-president, Erma Plett, Secretary- treasurer, Laura Coley, Simcoe Representative, and Miss Wilson, Class Adviser. Charles Spoon and Louise Dressel were the Class representatives to the Board of Control. Now comes a review of our last year in G. H. S. Thirty-four of us are graduating. Our Class officers are: Charles Spoon, President, Erma Plett, Vice-president, Lois Spalding, Secretary, Marvin Kamholz, Treas- urer, Margaret Moore, Simcoe Representative, and Mrs. Bacher, Class Adviser. Charles Spoon and Margaret Moore are the Class representa- tives to the Board of Control. The following Student Body Officers are held by Seniors: Student Body President, Vive-president, Simcoe Editor, Secretary, and Treasurer. Three girls: Margaret McEwen, Lois Spalding, and Louise Dressel, and one boy, Reo Young, are entitled to the Hnal Gold GH award which is in the form of a pin, presented at the end of the Senior year to the boys and girls who have earned a required number of letters in the sports in which they participated during the preceding four years.
