No, Hoffman hasn't the big head but a mortar board goes on it this time instead of a helmet. Barreto waits his turn for a fitting while Miss Wilson sees that cap and gown measurements are kept straight. There were 206 records to be kept this term and there were also funny feelings in 206 stomachs when fittings took place. Seniors said: “It won't be long now'' and all knew that they weren't at all happy to leave Lowell. SENIORS Boys’ Councils, respectively, and accomplished a great deal, as did Naomi Shain presiding over the C. S. F. The number of high senior students belonging to this federation totalled thirty-one, and the total number coveting life memberships at the present tine was seventeen. ® The Boys' Glee included first tenors Ralph Buchan and Leslie Keisling; second tenors, William Chandler and Clifford Roberts. Barbara Beall was soprano of the Triple Trio, and with Patsy Alexander, Sonja Hayward, Marjorie Finck and Avonne Arnault comprised the seniors of the Girls’ Advanced Glee. ® R. O. T. C. officers were Lt. Col. Bush; Major Flexsenhar; Captains Mauer, Rahlmann, and Warnke; and Lieutenants Dudley, Mac- Farlane, and Murphy. Sports played a major part in the activities of the terms’ seniors. Elsie Wagner was President of the G. A. A., and Norma Kothe presided over the Girls’ Block ''L. Badminton, golf, hockey, and volley ball had senior managers Wyona Lindner, Janislee Casey, May Almlie and Betty Klinker, respectively. The Boys’ Block 'L'’ was represented by Skiles Hoffman. A star athlete himself, Skiles led such outstanding players as football captain Robert Burmeister, William Chandler, Ber- tram Horn, Peter Kepon, Wayne Marsh, Angelo Misthos, Jack O'Brien, Edwin Rowe and John Thompson. ® Turning to the lighter side of school life, a day was set aside by the seniors in which only they partici- pated, entitled, Back To the Farm day. The students and most of their registry teachers dressed in gay and colorful attire typical of the farm, with a barn dance climaxing the day to the envy of the lower stu- dents. Then came the sad but significant part of the term—graduation. The students marched solemnly in their navy blue and cream caps and gowns to the platform of the War Memorial Opera House on Janu- ary 22, 1941. Here speeches were delivered by Class Historian June Nakayama and Valedictorian David Robins, excellent vocal selections were rendered by the two advanced glee clubs, and concert selections were played by the orchestra. The end of four perfect years entered its final stage the same evening at the graduation ball held in the St. Francis Hotel. B Four years of loyalty and everlasting spirit, an example for future seniors to follow, had passed into Lowell history. Ze ee. Ee nna CRNA See SO Si a oa nL ed
