K. Buseck, Carlin, Caskey, Gable and Blatt. As Seniors we have gained our greatest triumphs. When the Class of June, ’20 left they warned us that we would have a lot of hard work to buck up against. We have had; but we met it with a will and when we look at the results we feel that our work has not been in vain. This year has been marked by progress and re-organization and this work has mainly been led by us as Seniors. Class elections were held early in the year and the following officers were elected: Ralph K. Super, President ; Elizabeth Parker, Vice-President; Louise Sullivan, Secretary; Edwin Simons, Treasurer; E. C. Metzeroth, Sergeant-at-Arms. We have not been e xceptionally brilliant as an or ganized class but still we have not been mediocre. On November 20, 1920, we conducted a very successful straw-ride; and on April 22, 1921 we held our Senior Dance which turned out to be the most successful affair of the social season. The publication of this YEAR Book is the biggest thing the class has undertaken ; and as for our success or fail in thi ill leave it to the reader’s own jud t wie ici Cs The individual work af has never been handled bette i epee Teele peek ihe AEM Paton ere pus ae ch es by Victor B.
