5 my-.f - J T YC' ' ig' John Hanson, the casual blue-eyed boy with a drawl, drew his fifth class office, this time becoming president of the June senior class. Philip Brownell, vice-president, and Bettie Willson, secretary, represented the student council among the class officers, and Theona Steel, class treasurer, was a member of the all girls league council. Harry Foster, editor, and Don Easterday, sergeant-at-arms, filled in, as it were, for the athletic faction. Among the leaders who represented us on the student council were Ilene Baker, Elizabeth Barber, Philip Brownell, Porter Cannon, ,Timmy Chappell, Dorothy Charleson, Ruth Holmes, Paul Miles, Bettie VVillson and Arnold Kleinebecker, un- assuming president of the organization. Because of ineligibility, winter graduation and pupils leaving school there were several vacancies in the council. These were filled by Paul Calhoun. Dick King, John Hanson, Bill Crooks and llflargaret Lawlor. On the all girls council the senior representatives were Lois Brooks, llflargaret Clapp, Dorothy Orr, Breta Peterson, Betty Seaton and Theona Steele. Later Harriet Daly, Jean Speiser and Pauline Thompson were chosen to fill vacancies. Senor color day rarely fails to carry with it a spirit not soon to be forgot. But ours was particularly successful. The extraordinary character of our class was typically manifest in the fact that though some six hundred of us crossed the audi- torium stage not one of us was hurt in descending those treacherous steps on either side. The girls wore white dresses, green and white ruffs around their necks and green satin masks, while the boys were in dark suits, bandoleers and masks. The class song, written by Dorothy Qrr to original music by Harriet Daly, was sung, then we sat down and pushed our masks up on our foreheads to see, without looking cross-eyed, who were sitting next to us. A one-act play, Sauce for the G03-Iings, was presented, and a senior court was held for the trial of several prominent members. Early in December the seniors presented their play, The Kangaroos, a comedy by Victor Mapes. Jean Speiser with Paul Gilbert and Judith Larson with Reinholdt Wink added much to the humor of the play by their contrasting heights. In the winter graduations the class of twenty-nine was decreased by IIS seniors. Evelyn Lyon and Laurence Hall were senior speakers. The survivors in the class chose Bill Crooks for president during the last term and by their selection found a person who could with his resourcefulness iron out the difficulties of carrying off suc- cessfully the many important events which crowd upon the last part of the senior year. Henry Bauer and Joe Luchsinger, respectively vice-president and secretary, afforded us a novel situation at the end of the semester when it was found that they had not enough credits to be seniors and would enter the olympics against the class in which they held offices. Donald Sarbach was voted treasurer by virtue of his curly hair and enviable reputation, and the class found the position of editor appropriate for Rasche Myers and his editorial leanings. Paul Winterhalter was made the big, modest sergeant-at-arms. In the last whirl of olympics, senior party, fees., books, grades, opera, senior picnic, junior-senior party, senior sermon and graduation many of us picked up more friend- ships, it seemed, than we had found before in all the time we had been in high school. The class became more and more a group of friends and less a mere organization. When the end of the semester drew near and the realization came that the rare union of the class and all the close and casual friendships would be strained or lost with the separation of fellow students, we felt the one depressing side of graduation. And then we resolved-consciously, some of us-that the tie would not be broken. Proofs of that resolve are the signatures sprawled over the margins and last pages of this book, the book itself, the pictures exchanged with classmates, and an expression of that resolve is found in the three closing lines of the class song: We'll neler forget All our friends Tn our class of one nine two ninef' -23,
