+x,..... . . . F., .-. THE OAK-I935. SENIOR CLASSHHISTORY I NVe started the ball rolling as sophomores by the presentation of the highly successful play, 'KNot Quite Such a Goose, with the stellar roles played by Leonard McDonald, Virginia Daniels and Pansy jean Wfoods. Soon after our first bow to the public we were the guests of the junior class at a Hallow- een masquerade party-held in the old school gymnasium. fIt might' be of in- terest to state that the award for the best costume was given to Emerson Hunt.j Our sophomore president was Glenn Keith. In our first year, we were represented in the basketball queen coronation by the one-and-only Helene Schemmer. XV hen we made our debut as juniors the ball gained momentum as our list of activities became longer and longer. Our play, It Happened in Holly- wood,', brought a greatdeal of hidden talent to light, proving that our class had what was necessary for success in dramatic lines. The outstanding accomplishment of the entire year was our May Day banquet in honor of the departing seniors. Hotel RobidouX's Crystal Room was a veritable garden adorned in the center by a tall silver Maypole with beautiful streamers in the class colors 5 purple and white for the juniors, and rose and silver for the seniors. Thebanquet room was decorated throughout with lattices entwined with sweet peas, our class flower. Oh, how we labored making those sweet peas! From authoritative sources it was learnedthat ours was the most beautiful banquet ever held in that hall. .Again at the coronation of the basketball queen the junior class was well represented by Helene Schemmer, Gladys Heinz, and Mary Diller. In our junior year was introduced a new Lafayette institution, Field Day, in celebration of the opening of the new Lafayette athletic field. Our class had as captain of junior girls Allene McVay, and of boys Samuel Taft. Wfe came to the front again when Marshall Mathers as junior representative suc- ceeded in retrieving the golden derby from atop a pole. During this year john Loe was our president. ' The ball -was rolling-at top speedas. we, entered.the.flast.year of our high school career, with Donald Cluster holding the office of president. Every senior awaited with hated breath the outcome of the Oakcampaign, which was to determine whether or not the senior class should publish an annual. A large thermometer was placed in the hall and day by day anxious eyes watched its progress, until, with a final burst of strength, the mercury went over the top with three hundred and five annuals actually sold before October the twenty- ninth! Immediately after the goal was reached, work started on the 1935 edi- tion of the Oak. , . In this year's basketball coronation, the senior class was outstanding. Helene Schemmer was crowned queen of Lafayette's court, and among her at- tendants were two other seniors, Ruth Robbins and Gladys Heinz. Our play, The Call of Youthf' was an unusual and difficult one, yet a most impressive production. The leading roles were taken by Helene Schem- mer, john Loe, and Donald Cluster. Leonard McDonald starred in his role of the derelict father. - As we near graduation and look back over the noteworthy achievements of our class during the past three years, we feel that we owe a great deal of our success to our competent sponsor, Miss XVIIIIIFCCI Gallagher, who has willingly guided our efforts and has always encouraged us to do our very best for Lafa ette.

Treasurer 1 , The boys of the class of I935, tired of the assertion that girls are better students, and determined to prove the fallacy of said statement, started at the beginning of their high school careers to pile up credits, both in activities and scholarship, with the result that for the first time in the history of the Lafay- ette National Honor Society, the number of boys elected to membership equals that of the number of girls. lt is natural that competition for membership in the organization should be especially keen, for election to this society is the highest honor which the school has the power to bestow. lt is not a recognition of special ability or outstanding, skilliinone line of endeavor only. but it. covers a much broader field marked by the four outstanding characteristics of ideal citizenship- ScholarshipgLeadership, Service and Character. Eligibility to membership requires that a student shall be in the upper third of his class in scholarship, that his character shall be above question, that he shall possess the initiative and personality of a leader, and that he shall have rendered outstanding service to the school in its various activities. Members to which each school is entitled are limited to fifteen per cent of the graduating class. The faculty was limited to a choice of fourteen members, bringing the total membership of the Lafayette Chapter up to ll2 members. Page Twf-nty-three
