FLOWER Yellow Rose COLORS Garnet and Gray THE HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Since the time we were freshmen we have had a yen for social gatherings. Our Fresh- man Party with orchestra and formal clothes was the first every held by any freshman class here. Our commencement pageant, was the first deviation that had been made from the regular commencement exercises. We entered senior high as sophisticated sophomores, resolving to mark our class up with the best. Then came the Initiation Party, with all of the sophomores appearing as dimpled darlings in baby clothes. With excellent management we finally presented the juniors and seniors with their Return Party. when we were gentle juniors, all of the girls started to sell candy with great en- thusiasm because these funds were to be used for the Junior-Senior Promenade. This was the biggest affair that our class sponsored due to the facts that it was an open prom. Amid all of the balloons and decorations, and the girls with their best beaux, a won- time was had by all. Our activities as seniors were centered around a series of dances which proved to be real successes. The day our rings arrived was filled with happy excitement. Our year book was put into production near the end of the year. Many of those days were used for ordering invitations and name cards. We closed our high school years with the pleasures of the prom,' of a senior party, and of graduation.
