Each year the senior girls put their col- lective heads together and elect one of their number to attend a DAR conven- tion. She must be the best all-around girl in the entire class, and in l944 tiny Barbara Cottingham fcenter rightl was elected to that most honorable position. . . . The pained expresion on the face of Chris Moore Qtopl only indicates his chagrin at some particularly difficult problem. Chris takes care of student opinion polls, of which there are not a few, and spends hours over averages, percentages, and tabulations of yes's and no's ....

Member of publicity committee Julius Tokar fcenter leftj energetically sells tickets for this dance .... For those who wanted to learn to trip the light fantastic Miss Bly Quigley obliged by holding a class.
