I resident, Albert Anderson: Vice President, Allen Backstrom; Secretary-Treasurer, Bert Backstrom; Council Representative, Lynn Cockburn. The Torch Honor Society had the membership of twelve of our class. Junior activities include the well known Junior Prom. We were very enthusiastic about it, for in the past there had been some difficulty in making it a success. So we proceeded to make plans for our scenery, choosing an oriental type to work on. We were very pleased with the final results of the gymnasium after its transformation into a strictly oriental scene. Mr. Bus Rily served us with very good music. Another outstanding event of the year was the Hallowe'en party held in Charles Haight's barn. Many attended and a great time was enjoyed by all. At this time the Letter Girls’ Association was getting a good start and several girls from our class were eligible for membership. Three of our boys took part in the All-School Play. The executive committee of our Senior Class is: President, Victor Posey; Vice President, Jack Robinette; Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Grinde; Student Council Repre- sentative, Lynn Cockburn. Four members of the Senior Class were represented in the High School Leaders’ Conference in Seattle. They were: Vivian Armstrong, Norma Treen, Lynn Cockburn and Wesley Smith. Those members of the Senior Class holding Student Body offices are: President, Gordon Loth; Secretary, Vivian Armstrong; Treasurer, Nina Nourse. We have chosen caps and gowns for our graduation attire. This will be the first time for many years that they have been used in Lake Stevens. The honored Com- mencement speakers are Norma Treen and Wesley Smith and Mr. J. A. Reeves, Superintendent of Everett Schools. The six students earning highest scholastic points for the class are: Vivian Arm- strong, Allen Backstrom, Bert Backstrom, Bill Flyg, Nina Nourse, and Douglas Ruth- ford.
