...J Senior Class HE class oT I935 oT GreaT Neck High School is The TirsT class To compleTe iTs Junior and Senior High School sTudies in The presenT new building on Polo Road. FurThermore, iT is The largesT class ThaT has ever been graduafed Trom The GreaT Neck High School. These TacTs make The class oT l935 a memorable one, indeed. The Senior Class, in accordance wiTh The precedenT seT in pasT years, organized iTselT, elecTed oTTicers, and held regular meeTings. The oTTicers elecTed in The Tall by The I55 members oT The class were: PresidenT, Cornelius J. Tyson Jr.: Vice-PresidenT, Bruce lvlinnickg and SecreTary-Treasurer, Rex Lardner. Dues oT Ten cenTs a week were voTed, and The class carried ouT several proiecTs ThroughouT The year. The mosT imporTanT acTiviTy oT The Senior Class each year is The publishing oT The year-book, The ArisTa. AlThough obiecTions were raised To The conTinuaTion oT This cosTly eTTorT, The members OT The class unanimously voTed To publish The book. ln response To The senTimenT ThaT The expenses oT a Senior were unnecessarily high, The ArisTa Board reduced The assessmenTs which Seniors were asked To pay. ln The annual elecTion oT The all-imporTanT PresidenT oT The STudenT Council, Dudley Saunders was chosen by his schoolmaTes To hold This oTTice. As The TwelTTh grade represenTaTives To The STudenT Council, The class elecTed Eleanor Campbell and William Goss. In This connecTion, menTion should be made oT an innovaTion on The parT oT The Council which may be said To have been a resulT oT The growing desire Tor special recogniTion and privileges Tor Seniors. This is a supper-dance To which all members oT The Senior Class were inviTed by The STudenT Council. All expenses were meT by The Council, and The class was indeed graTeTul Tor The esTablishmenT OT such a worThy precedenT. IT was also deTermined ThaT a Senior Prom should be held on a nighT close To graduaTion, which occurred This year on Monday, June 24. The valedicTorian was CaTherine Grady, and The SaluTaTorian, Cornelius Tyson. AppoinTmenTs were made To The NaTional Honor SocieTy, and The Elks' Club and Scholarship Fund CommiTTee Scholarships were awarded.
