August Kowalski, of basketball and baseball fame, is president and has the duty of presiding over all senior meetings and lending Miss Leach assistance in all senior matters. Marion Ahern, an indus- trious miss, is the vice- president.

Erika Herz Rose Berman Robert Lehmpuhl Jeanette Richards CLASS SPEAKERS Contrary to the usual custom the graduating class will have four class speakers this year instead of the six chosen in previous semesters. Two of these speakers are chosen on the basis of their scholastic rating, one by the fac- ulty on all around merit and service, and one by the class on a basis of per- sonality and popularity. The student with the highest scholastic standing is valedictorian and the one with the sec- ond highest rating is salutatorian. The valedictorian this year will be none other than the versatile, popular Erika Herz, who is vice-president of the Honor Society, a prominent G. A. A. member, and a member of the Senior Girls' Service Council and Girls' Leader Class. p Rose Berman will be the salutatorian. Everyone knows her to be a hard Work- ing, studious girl who still has time for much outside activity, as is shown in her keen interest in the French Club. Jeannette Richards, the choice of the faculty, wrote the school hymn, has a gold honor pin, is a member of the Sen- ior Girls' Service Council, and was on the editorial board of the Lake re View. Robert Lehmpuhl, chosen as class representative, is a captain in C com- pany, the captain of the rifle team, and a popular member of the senior group. Each of these four will deliver a six minute address in which he will develop the general theme of Stars. 27
