SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page Ij) andcr whose names appeared on various newspapers' all- state teams. Brcmcrmann was chosen our team's most valuable player; his name was engraved on the trophy presented to the school by G. R. McConnell and his 1915 Championship Team. Prahl was elected honorary captain by his teammates, and Alexander was I,” Club president. Our basketball team was exceptionally good this year. Seniors on the team were Brcmcrmann. Collins. Christen- sen. Smith. Prahl. Johnson. Harndcn and Miller. The first five of these hoys went to the State Basketball Tournament at Casper and placed second in the state. Collins and Smith were chosen on the official all-state team, and Collins and Christensen were on the all-district team. Smith. Collins and Hcnklc went out for track. Smith was outstanding, and in his Junior year lie set two new district records. Not only were the Senior boys good in athletics. We can sec by this picture that Alice Peterson. G. A. A. presi- dent. is holding the loving cup she won for having the highest number of points of any girl in G. A. A. The five other seniors in the picture arc admiring the cup. On the next page arc three pictures. Looking closely at the first, we sec Ixircn Moody as president and John Clay as vice-president of the Wranglers Club. There arc fourteen other seniors who arc wearing the maroon sweaters and Wranglers emblems. Across from it is the Pep Club picture. Looking at us from the page, arc the smiling faces of Mary McCrohan. president; Margaret Conover, vice- president; and Helen Collins, secretary-treasurer. Upon counting we sec there are twenty-two Senior members. From the girls and boys pep clubs came our cheerlead- ers ; Donna Beth Rogers and John Clay were chosen for a second time to lead the Plainsmen on to victory, and Bill Bcndt joined them with his lusty voice. What were the rest of the seniors doing all this time? The next page tells us the class was well represented in the Thespian Club. John Tilton’s name is autographed on this program as president of the group and the all star cast of Seniors numbers twenty-five, twenty-four of whom went national. The highlights behind the footlights arc those six stars wearing their twinkling 8-jewel pins—Helen Col- ins. Junior Klahn. Bob Corbridge. Donna Beth Rogers. Gene Smith, John Tilton and Eric Hogbcrg. Nine seniors who attended the annual Speech Festival came back with honors, and Kathryn Duffy won first prize in poetical reading. {Continued on Page 29) a

Miss Scott was hostess to the group at din- ner in the Connor Hotel. Off the record. (Superb music from the novachord—John Clay serving rolls —the huge round table with the Easter lily candles—girls at dinner without hat»—Miss Scott drinking tlie last of her pineapple sundae—twelve inches of slushy snow outside—all served to en- lighten the party, not to mention (shhh) tin ride home in Miss Scott's coupe with six passengers, through all that snow).
