lI3l We're Stepping ut The Class of 1942 has as its chief executive, President Harry Calale, who is assisted by Anna LeFever as vice-president. Secretary Alma Burdick takes the minutes and the class li- nances are kept in order by Treasurer Veronica Mott. The class is represented in the Student Council by William Webster and Betty Hazzard. Miss Trumpp sits on the bench as judge and advisor. Our class of thirty-six Seniors is small in size but not in activities, interest, and school spirit. Our last year in high school has been especially full. The Senior Class' first activity this year was a theater party. The double feature Ice- Capades and Hit the Road was sponsored November 26 and 27 with successful results. A Christmas party with gifts, fun, and refreshments came on December 23. The com- mittee for the affair consisted of William Webster, Virginia Ripley, Veronica Mott, and Robert Streeter. The class presented the Periwinkle Showboat at the annual Senior assembly. Who will ever forget the Gay Nineties atmosphere, Elmer and Nellie and Grandmother's Bustle? William Webster acted as M. C. and more than half the class participated in the enjoyable pro- gram. The Senior Mothers formed their club in the spring and decided to have the Seniors wear blue and white caps and gowns for graduation. On May 20 we gathered with our parents and friends for our class banquet. Our school life will be something to look back at, to remember and smile about, after we have turned on to the bumpy road of lifef' SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Burdick, Webster, LeFever, Mott Calale, Hazzard
