At this stage, light seemed to dawn upon us and we caught a glimpse of the golden aurora -education- which we were seeking. This may have been due to the fact that we chose the cap- able Miss Phyllis Newman as sponsor. She guided us safely through storms of tests, blizzards of oral talks, and floods of lectures.

We presented a play, HThe Patsy, starring Ella Mae Hopkins and Albert Handley, true aspirants to the stage. We enter- tained the seniors of '35 with a color- ful Japanese banquet given at the White Lakes Country Club. In this, at least, we feel we Shave done ourselves proudf, We elected as our sponsor Miss, Amelia Zill, who diligently and conscientiously maneuvered our waver- ing footsteps to the one-way track, which, in due time, led us to the pearly gates of our senior year.
