CLASS HISTORY—Continued The decoration committee decided upon an Alaskan scene. The theme was carried out by having mountains, trees, totem poles, penguins, igloos, and last but not least, an ice cave. It was truly an Alaskan atmosphere that the patrons stepped into that night. Rowell Paine's orchestra furnished the music. The Prom was a suc- cess, socially and financially, for which we are justly proud. Now we find ourselves ready to graduate. For our final class officers we have Dan Ruthford, President: Harvey Moyer, Vice President; Marion Maltsberger, Secre- tary-Treasurer; and Frances Meyer, Representative. Those who took part in the Senior Play were: Gordon Rux, Betty Colton, Don Honeycutt, Helen Yonlick, Melba McDaniel, Vic Soreide, Franklin Phillips, Marion Maltsberger, Frances Meyer, Louise Huddle, Betty Hansen, Harvey Moyer, Margaret Hanson and Walter Smith. Six members of the Senior Class received three-bar torch pins. About twenty Seniors participated in the Vodvil. Helen Yonlick was chosen as the editor of the Pilchuck and Don Honeycutt as the business manager. Dan Ness was chosen as editor of the Flashlight.
