ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Jim MV I i.i kiin;k ... President liUfJH Oll.MOt R .... l ice President Milton Fkikskn...........................Treasurer Barbara ( rkkn . Recording Secretary Si'K McCi’knv . . Corresponding Secretary SINCE the graduation of Hoover’s first Senior Class in 1930 the Alumni As- sociation has played an important part in school activities. Fundamentally the pur- pose of this organization is to keep stud- ents enrolled in Hoover in touch with graduates engaged in business affairs or adding to their education in some univer- sity. Mrs. Bertha K. Foster, Art Depart- ment head, and Mr. Fred Wilson, shop teacher, acting as the faculty links be- tween the school and the association, were great aids to the officers of the or- ganization during the past school year. The Alumni Dance, an annual affair, was held February 22 in the girls’ gym and was acclaimed a great success by all attending. Largely through the efforts of Worth Kemps, general chairman of the dance, Bill Fleck’s nationally known dance band was secured to play at the event. Flora MacDonald, who headed the decorations committee, deserves a wr i orKct great deal of commendation for her fine work in carrying out a Washington's Birthday motif. Jimmy Eldridge took charge of the publicity. While usually thought of as merely an important social event, the Alumni Dances really have a very definite purpose. The scholarship fund maintained by the Alumni Association is dependent upon the income from these yearly affairs. The value of this fund cannot be overestimated. Granted on the same basis that most clubs, organizations- and schools use in awarding schol- arships, but with preference being given those attending Glendale Junior College, it enables several Hooverites each year to attend some institution of higher learning when such would be impossible without the aid of the Alumni Association. Each year the members of the Alumni Association, distance permitting, hold a meeting to elect officers, who in turn select committees for the dance and other events in which the organization participates. 26 The Scroll, I f) 3

TIMELY CHRONICLE T NTO the yawning doors of Hoover High School in February, 1931, marches a crowd of young things familiarly called freshmen. From this humble be- ginning will come the Class of 193 5. Taking up their activities under a new roof, the beginners start their climb. Completing the quota, the second half of the Fresh- man Class enters in September of the same year. Roy Thompson is chosen representative on the Cabi- net, and in October Ed Rea and Merle Potter are elected class presidents with John Fox and Leila Bar- rie, vice presidents; Charlotte Goldsborough and How- ard Boardman, secretaries; J. M. Cunningham, treas- urer; and Walt Sutton, yell leader. Close upon the heels of the election comes the Interclass Oratorical. The freshies” make their first real showing and dash away with the prize for the best tableau. Time toddles on. At the mid-year election Roy Thompson is ballot- ed class potentate with Gordon Bell, 'Vice potent;” Marian Welz, secretary; Bill Watkins, treasurer; and Clell Short, shout master. May, 1932, arrives with the freshmen grabbing more of the spotlight—and a few pennies—in their student-talent program with Ed Rea as massacre” of ceremonies, orching” by fresh- man orchestra, and a bevy of the class’s best. A few of the will-be-greats appearing are Andrew Ebli, Chuck” Oakley, Leila Barrie, Merle Potter, Ray Paonessa, and Bob Tucker. A tick or two at the old time indicator brings forth the class party in the audi- torium. Time trudges to the summer vacation. September, 1932! The sophomore year is launch- ed. Officers equal Bill Watkins, prexy, plus Aileen Reynolds, Marian Welz, Leila Barrie, and Walt Sut- ton in the roles of vice president, secretary, treasurer, and yell leader, respectively. Harriet Holcomb earns second in the Oratorical at which Maxine Gulley and Lucille Collins s rve as song leaders. Then comes another victory with the '35 boys lopping off first place in the spring of 193 3 in the interclass trackfest. The semester is rounded (Continued on page 36) WINTER OFFICERS Wiu.ard Askew - -........................President Hubert Ostenoorf..........................
