For the first two months the upper classmen stepped back and let the Freshmen and Sophomores have the spotlight for the Freshmen Initiation Party and Sophomore Carnival. The Juniors then started the ball rolling on November 3 with the Junior-Senior hunt. Due to the mouselike dispositions of the Seniors, the Juniors were unable to locate their hiding place, which they found later to be the second floor of the Congregational Church. The Juniors, having lost the hunt, gave the Seniors a chilli supper at school a few days later. On January 14 the juniors again burst forth. This time with a cake- walk which accompanied one of the season’s basketball games. It was a huge success and—Yum Yum! the cakes were delicious. 9

Senior Class History (Continued) The Seniors have been very active in athletics during all four years, and have helped bring many honors to the school. Many Seniors have helped with the Tempest and Year Book for several years. The students that have left our class since 1934 are: Marius Beams, Orlajane Crutchfield, Dale Hendryx, Louise Johnson, Voncelle Mason, Lawrence Sprague, Dorothy Dawson, James Loving, Zoe Kinney, Leonard Ruck, June Taylor, Lawrence Cheney, Edwin Loving, Daniel Nash, Jacob Webber, Gladys Bauer, Russell Cheney, Anna bauwitz, Annabelle Johnson, Emily Ross, Lois Trimble, Norman Crew, Frank Drewett, Andy Montonye, Lois Camp, Margaret Kimble, Pauline Lopez, Wilma Rogers, Dorothy See, Lucille Wilson, Mae Wishall, Vernalea Smith, Bernard Schmidt, and Carl Windaugh. New students that have joined our class are Richard Coster, Gail Meyers, Albert Unser, Darlene Johnson, June McCullough, Virginia McCormick, and Mary Ellen Lukehart. Not only do we have quantity, but also quality; for we have accomplished many things through the cooperation and loyalty of the members of our class, and we have supported the school in all of its activities. Now that we have finished this journey, and are approaching a longer and more difficult one, we can only look back with mingled pleasure and regret in leaving our dear Alma Mater and friends. 8

Leincr. □ March 31 our class sponsored a box social. The entertainment con- sisted of selections by grade and high school students. A good time was enjoyed by all who attended. The junior class play, given April 12, was a success both dramatic- ally and financially. The Juniors consider it quite an honor to have had the editor for the “Tempest” chosen from their class. Miss Dorothy Leiner was chosen to fill this position. Dorothy gives her time freely and is faithful to the staff. She has been a great help in making our paper the success that it now is. Our class is still keeping in good form scholastically if I may judge by the honor roll. The following have withdrawn since September: Mary Louise Hen- drickson, Jack Kelley, Hazel Madearis. Jay Taylor, Pauline Kokemuller. Not in pictures: Edna Camp, James Snyder, D. Woodruff. 10
