14 TILL TRQJaN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Motto: Success is Service, not Silver Colors: Crimson and Cream Flower: Carnation In September, 1935, our class started high school with 45 persons. We elected Ruth Penoyar-President, Fred Heaton-Vice President, Warren Vincent-Secretary, and Warren Putnam-Treasurer, and chose Mr. Cobb as class advisor. We were challenged by the Sophomores to a tug-of-war, in which we were defeated, but soon afterwards were given a Reception. We had one class party, which was a Pot-Luck dinner, at the School House in April. We selected crimson and cream as our class colors and bought the class banner. In our Sophomore year we chose Warren Vincent-President, Elizabeth Parker-Vice President, Olen Face-Secretary, and Ronald Buskirk-Treasurer. We challenged the Freshmen to a tug-of-war and although they won over us, we gave them a Reception the evening of Initiation Day. We had one class party, which was held at the School House. For our Junior year the class officers were: President-Olen Face, Vice President- Warren Vincent, Secretary-Elizabeth Parker, and Treasurer-Robert Warner. We selected our class rings and received them in January. In December we held a class party at the School House, and we had charge of the first All-School party, which was also in December. We chose the Junior Play, The Poor Rich , and presented it in March. Miss Carmichael was the director, and the play was a big success. Those in the cast were: Eva Sweet, Ronald Buskirk, Warren Vincent, Shirley Smith, Warren Putnam, Virginia Cunningham, Mary Benham, Olen Face, Jaunita Mills, and Fred Heaton. The next important event was the Senior Prom, in May, to which we were invited. On June 3, we gave the Seniors a Reception. The Community House was decorated in blue and white, and dancing was enjoyed to the accompaniment of Maurice Styles»s Orchestra. In June we participated in the graduation exercises. At last our big year arrived; we were Seniors! We chose Warren Putnam-President, Fred Heaton-Vice President, Elizabeth Parker-Secretary, Mary Benham-Treasurer, and Miss Carmichael as our class advisor. In September we were invited to Carolyn Kroulfs house for a party, at which we all had an enjoyable evening. For our Senior Play we chose Heart Trouble , which was presented with great success November 17-18, at the Community House. The plot of this play concerned a socially ambitious woman, Mrs. Morrison (Shirley Smith) who wanted her daughter to become a member of the upper class. Laura (Eva Sweet) snubs her small town lover drug clerk. Tommy Caler (Warren Putnam), for a new golf pro, Conrad Tyler (Ronald Buskirk). Fred Morrison (Warren Vincent), the father, frames a plot that turns into love consequences by having the younger daughter, Patricia (Marian Whetstone), make a play for Tommy to bring Laura to her senses. Junior Morrison (Robert Cook), the son, does a lot in his adolescent way to add humor to the situation by falling in love with Lenore Appleby (Elizabeth Parker), the daughter of Jethro Appleby (Fred Heaton), the banker, all to his mother s delight. The laugh peak of the sedond act cone when a mysterious woman, Beatrice Tyler (Dorothy Arnold) appears on the scene smashing Laura s social ambition. The curtain falls slowly upon the tender scene of reconciliation between the country bumpkin and his snobbish girl friend. The Senior Class had charge of the second All-School Party, which was cn January 11. On April 20, our class attended a College Day and Careers Conference at the Coldwater High School. Committees were appointed and plans made for the Senior Prom which was given on May 5. We are eagerly looking forward to Skip Day and the Junior-Senior Reception. Plans are already under way for Graduation. The Baccalaureate Services will be held on Sunday, June 4, at the Methodist Church; and Tuesday evening June 6, the Senior Class will have a Class Night and Swing-out. The Commencement Exercises will be held Thursday evening, June 3, at the Community House, with Dean Whitehouse of Albion College the speaker. We will wear caps and gowns at all of our graduation activities. Of the 45 members that started, there are 30 left to graduate. We have selected a carnation as our class flower, and Success is service, not silver as our motto.
