SENIOR OFFICERS President------------------------------------------ La Vere Gregory “He’s been our pilot at the wheel.” Vice President Mary Marguerite Fick “He had eyes so he chose me.” Secretary and Treasurer Robert Zettler “No matter how you take him he’s all right.” CLASS HISTORY Radio friends, you are now listening over station W-O-R-K, operating on a frequency of 1934 kilocycles. An unusual program will be presented through Mary F. Goodall, who is going to relate the adventures of the first year of the Class of 1934. Listen to her boasting of the class being the largest one to ever enter M. C. H. S. as Freshmen. How she glows with pride when she tells of the dramatic ability presented in the musical comedy “Tulip Time” by the two Freshmen stars. She becomes serious as she mentions the athletic ability displayed by our future athletes in both track and basketball. She is turning over the program to John R. Kidd. He gives a vivid account of the Sophomore’s exploits under the sponsorship of Miss Rush and Mr. Ballard. He forgets to tell about his own athletic feats shown on the varsity team, though. “Purple Towers’’ also is acted by two Sophomore actors, he says. As his time grows short, Mary Margaret Fick steps in front of the microphone. My! She has so much to say about the Juniors that she can scarcely tell it all. The Junior play “Tightwad” was a huge success under the leadership of Miss Atwell. “Sailor Maids was also well represented by the Juniors. The event of the season was the Junior-Senior Reception given in a garden laden with flowers. The girls appeared in garden frocks and the boys in light trousers. The Juniors won first place in the Inter-Class athletics which made them very proud. Ah! The time is ebbing away. The ultimate moment has come. Lavere Gregory, faithful president of the Seniors, has arrived on the air. In a modulated and dignified voice, he describes their activities. The famous basketball team consisted almost entirely of Seniors while track depends upon them. Dramatic talents are still in the lead in “The Gypsy Rover.” “Broken Dishes” appeared with a clatter and a bang of victory. The Illohmet Staff is thoroughly represented by Seniors, too. As he continues to talk the final bell rings and he steps back from the microphone. He is half-sorrowful and half-joyful as he thinks of the past, present, and the future of the class of 1934.
