At an assembly in the school auditorium on April 11, Rev. Henry Childs of the Homer Congregational Church presented the prize to Kenneth C. Cox, president of the senior class and Tri-V club and editor of the ODYSSEY. '4Ken also actively engaged in sports, being a member of the soccer, basketball and baseball teams. He is a member of the Mummers' Club and S. O. S. Club. SENNICHTLY AWARD In like manner, the Sennightly Award of twenty dollars is given to the girl in the senior class exhibiting certain worthy attributes. She is judged by the faculty on her qualities of courtesy, cooperation, character, enthusiasm, dependability and scholastic effort. This year the honor was bestowed upon Virginia Springer who is also class valedictorian. Ginny participated widely in musical events, including band, chorus, orchestra, sextet and two operettas. She is also a member of Tri-Y, the Commercial and the Latin Clubs. To these two luminaries we extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for future success. 23
