FEBRUARY CLASS OFFICERS HE SENIOR class is so large that it is necessary to have a representative body to supervise the business of the graduates, the group for this pur- pose is the class officers. Naturally it is necessary to have an experienced sponsor, this person is Miss Irmagarde Leach. To the class oiiicers should go thanks for the diligence and hard work they have clone. T 0 Miss Leach, whose patience and interest are largely responsible for the successful outcome of all Senior Class affairs, should go an equal amount of gratitude. The Senior Class officers are five in number, president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and sergeant at arms. The class president was john Menk. His duties 1 were many, but the most important were to take charge of class meetings, to present the class gift 1 T at Commencement, and to conduct all class activi- ties. We all agree that john fined his position 1 skillfully. An equally diflicult job is the vice-presidency. To the vice-president falls the entertainment and 1. i l l Lmeak B.Me:.mer social work of the class. This year the position LKIMM, M,,,gf,g BMW' was held by a girl, Betty Messner, and well did she show the persistence and ability so renowned in her sex. Hers were the extremely diflicult tasks of arranging programs for the class and taking charge of the Class Day Luncheon. These she did in her quiet and capable manner. She was a member of the French and Drama Clubs and last fall a delegate to All City Girls Conference. At the meeting the secretary sits where all the class can see her. To make it as pleasant as possible for the class, Mildred Morgan was chosen class secretary. Not only did she make the meeting pleasant, but also gave an official aspect. Her secretarial work was efficient and neat, and in every respect she made an excellent official. Among the many activities that gained her support were the Girls Leaders' Class and the Senior Glee Club. Jerry Klein, or, as he modestly prefers to be called, The Alexander Hamilton of the Classf, was in charge of financial matters. Balancing the budget was one of the tasks he accomplished with more efficiency than does Congress. He has a gold honor pin, and Latin Readers' Club and Latin Games claimed his mem- bership. The sergeant at arms, or official keeper-of-order, taker-of-attendance, and carrier-of-chairs, was Alex Burger. To his commanding personality the good behavior of the class was attributed. Alex was on the editorial board of the Red and White as well as being assistant editor. He was a member of the Honor Society to the extent of a gold pin. Once again the officers of the good ship Senior Class under the guidance of its pilot-sponsor have sailed her over calm and stormy seas alike to the safe harbor of Graduation where the map to buried treasure rolled and tied with red ribbon lies anticipating the firm and eager grasp of its owner. Thus, with such a fine corps of class officers, we are little surprised at the renown the February class has received. Page 26

SONNET EAR GOD, was e'er an epic sung to thee From golden throats, so full of Heaven's song As that one raised in youthful majesty When proud to leave our youth we marched along To take in cap and gown a rolled, white past? Did not the swelling songs that night break through T he dome of youth and reach the world at last? Was not each parent stirred within it, too? No epic ever flowed from off a pen To mark a greater period in life Than that which graduates our boys to men And sends them out to indolence or strife! But indolence or strife, or joy or pain, The man in dreams becomes the boy again. -James F. Ferguson

JUNE CLASS OFFICERS VERY semester five honorary positions are avail- able to graduating seniors. Those who fulfill them must be, above all, efficient, and as they are elected by popular vote they are always regular fellows -well liked by everyone. This year, in- deed, the seniors have a right to be proud of their choice of class officers. This group has not been chosen from one field but represents many phases of school life, and all possess the rare attributes of leadership. Fred Wills, president, has wielded the gavel most effectively throughout the semester. The position of president is not at all new to him, for he has had previous experience as president of the Officers' Club, and he has also been an active member of numerous other clubs. It is his duty to preside over class meetings and to plan activities with Miss Leach. Muriel Waterfall adds to her laurels another re- sponsible position, that of vice-president. Muriel seems to specialize in that office, for last semester she was vice-president of the Commission. She i arranges the entertainment for senior programs, F. Wm: M- Waterfall heads the Class Day Committee, and in the absence J. GieseD GI L. Tfoalia of the president she presides at the meetings. Her ' 'mon charming personality has been a great asset to the Red and White staff of which she was a member. The difficult job of handling the class finances is ably taken care of by john Giese. Through his hands has passed the money for the budget, the prom, and rings and pins. He is especially well suited for this position as he is a wizard at mathematics. His membership in the Slide Rule Club is another example of his interest in the science of figures. Lawrence Troglia, the secretary, keeps the minutes and all records as faithfully and diligently as he has served on our basketball and baseball teams. Need we say more? To insure domestic tranquility, we have Donald Gleason as sergeant at arms. Under his eagle eye the meetings have flourished undisturbed throughout the semester. As chief bouncer he has been a great success. He has not limited his success to this, however, for he is also on the Class Day Committee. From the preceding account we see that the duties of the Senior Class officers are by no means simple. No doubt the hardest duties are the ones that, though they apply to us as well, we too often forget, those of impartiality, cheerfulness, and courtesy. When Lady Fortune has not been kind to us, we invariably treat others rudely and in an unfriendly manner. We as well as future class officers can profit by the example of the officers of the june class of 1932. In speaking of the senior leaders we find it impossible not to mention Miss Leach, the class sponsor. Her hard work and efforts in our behalf are deeply appreciated by the whole class. We offer our felicitations to the Senior Class for their fine selections of the officers who led them so splendidly and to Miss Leach for her guidance. Puge 27
