U:W WALLACE HIGH S4 IIOOI. LEW WALLACE HIGH THE SENIOR CLASS £ fid - ■s. « % £ fid When September of 1934 came, hopeful freshmen of the class of 1938 entered The Lew Wallace High School. As soon as they were well started in their school work, a class election was held to determine who was to steer their “ship of state” for the ensuing school year. When the final votes were tallied, Mary McCleery was found to have been elected our class president, Robert Bass the vice-president, and Rose Pavlakovich, secretary- treasurer. These officers, assisted by Mrs. Ensweiler, our class sponsor, planned a Freshman Week, the first to be held at Lew Wallace. During this week the Freshman Frolic and a Freshman Tea were held and the class plays were presented After this eventful week, the class settled down to its work of striving toward the rank of upperclassmen. When school opened the following September, the freshmen had been advanced to the more dignified rank of sophomores. As the semester prog¬ ressed it became the duty of every sophomore student to vote again for the officers of his class. This time, Robert Reister was elected president, Howard Sunderman was made vice-president, and Jean Underwood was sec¬ retary-treasurer. Under the guidan ce of these new officers, numerous events took place, the most outstanding was the rose sale. Here the salesmen of the class made a ffne’ nowirtff. ' Mary Batusic proved her merit by selling more roses thanMany students dis¬ played their talents in other wajr such as fc jHt f ipation in the class plav, “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm”,Cw h«l( 7 ura. “T%e Marriage of Nannette”. The main social activities were tf% Soph Hops, the first of which was held after school, and the next sej ieste n dance was held at night. The spring changed to summer , J then vacation time. When school opened in the fall, the students, Wkvl lunioro began their third year’s work. After becoming accustomed to tneir prci WpB class elected the follow¬ ing officers: president, lack Haller; vice-president, Howard Sunderman; and secretary-treasurer, Mary »t|sic. gain the salesmen of the class, the most outstanding of which was Esther Murphy, made a fine showing by selling more oranges than any previous junior class. This year our ranks were augmented by Joe Kutch, who aided us in producing the class play, “The Three Graces”. Our actors also contributed to the opera, “The Bo¬ hemian Girl”. In addition to the many club-sponsored dances, there was the dance of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. After a successful year, summer vacations came and when an all-too- short summer had come to an end, the Seniors took up the “book and slate” for the last term in high school. The previous class officers retired in favor of Anne Marie Koss, who was elected president; Doris Spahr, who was elected vice-president, and Joe Kutch. secretary-treasurer. As the se¬ mester progressed, the class actors did their last acting in the class play “Jane Eyre” and in the high school opera, “The Nightingale”. Enid Gustaf¬ son won national recognition during the year, in a nation-wide dress-design¬ ing contest, in which she was a high ranking contestant. To top all activities of the year came the much anticipated final Prom. June found the class eagerly anticipating graduation, but regretful that the many good times were so soon to be at an end, and that life-long friends were so soon to be separated. —Jack Haller £ Page twenty
