Seaton Claim This class started its high school course with a Hbang' by electing one of its members, a girl. as yell leader for the entire Student Body. She retained this position throughout most of the three remaining years. 'When they became sophomores, their pep did not abate -two girls were elected song leaders for the whole school. The class' second year was further distinguished by the revival of an old tradition-the Sophomore Dance. The credit for the success of this affair was due largely to the eHorts of Glenn Stiles, who was class president. The event was very well attended: was so successful, in fact that other classes copied the idea. During their third year they gave a picnic for the seniors with the money derived from the dance. plus the proceeds of an assembly which the class had sponsored dur- ing the earlier part of the yearL In the lirst two years many of the members were on the Wildcat teams, and during the other years the Pelican squads were well stocked with its representatives. Next year the football and basketball teams will suffer severe losses be- cause of the graduation of many star players. The class started in their freshman year to demonstrate their dramatic ability. Each year they improved, climaxing an exceptional dra- matic career by a splended Senior Play. Several members were very prominent in all musi- cal productions of the school. Besides being outstanding in all activities, many students were also on the honor and grand honor rolls. This year the class was very capably headed by Victor Reginato as presidentg Bob Ellingson, vice-president: and Iolienne VVoodruff, secre- tary-treasurer. Mrs. Good was chief faculty adviser.
