The senior reception, the first and one of the most successful formals of the year, featured a Hawaiian theme. which was effectively carried out with the use of pom-poms, crepe paper flowers, and palm trees. At this occa- sion the old formality of an adult receiving line was revived. The receiving line was headed by Carol Gibson, Girls' League president, and George Grable, class president. During the football campaign the class was announced winner of the noise parade, and amid the blare of trumpets were presented with a magnifi- cent scrap-iron trophy. Participating in another stunt to advertise a football game, the class led the school sign parade down Sixth street. They also took a prominent part in organizing the athletic cir- cus in February. As is the tradition, the seniors presented the Christmas program-an excellent combination of the reverent spirit of Christmas, portrayed by the play, Why the Chimes Rang, and humor, provided by Chub Clark as Santa Claus. The senior play, You Can't Take It With You, and senior dress-up day were both held in April. I As usual, the last week in May was an especial- ly busy one for seniors, for most of their graduation activities were held then. The annual senior picnic was followed by the host of other festive events that make up a senior's last few days of school. Bacca- laureate, the Sunday preceding graduation, was fol- lowed by class night, the senior award night, on Monday, and May 28 the seniors were graduated amidst a confusion of flowers, music, speeches, and awards. During all four years of high school the class of '41 has been consistently active. As entering freshmen they chose Bill Davis as president, Ann Hood. vice president, Marian Campbell, secretary, Harold Bormuth, treasurer, and Aggie Martin, stu- dent council representative. Their first activity was the building of the bonfire for the annual football rally.
