To the Members of the Class of l936: There are Words and phrases in our language which We use so frequently that they are commonplace and, therefore, almost meaningless. We say ul-low do you do? and do not tarry for the answer, Good-bye, so flippantly it is often short- ened to bye , and even resort to slang to cover our lack of feeling or confusion. But the clasp of the hand, the expression in the eye, the smile pervading the countenance convey far more than Words can possibly mean. So when We come to Write the Words with neither voice nor presence to give them life they seem evenmore futile. Therefore, l trust that you Will, as you read these Words, try to sense the sincerity of the congratulation for all each one of you has achieved, of the Wishes for every continuing success and happiness, and of the hope that you Will renew often the acquaintances and friendships which you have formed here. Sincerely, LEON C. l-HGH 23

SENIOR CLASS AST September the entering Seniors seemed inexperienced and untried, but only a short time elapsed before they proved themselves capable of many undertakings. The class has the sole distinction of experiencing a banner year in athletics, an unequalled sale of their yearbook, and' several delightful social entertainments. Their checkered careers have displayed remarkable scholastic ability and interest in dramatics, art, music, and athletics. S ' The elections to the Student Council secured positions for three of the class' prominent members. With no opponent, Raymond Dryer received the Presidency. Thomas Thompson became the Senior Boy Representative, which simultaneously made him Vice-President. Lorraine Gaylord was elected Senior Girl Representative. Therefore, she has officiated as Secretary on the Council. Political campaigns continued when the Seniors chose their honorary officers. Douglas Bangert became President by an overwhelming victory. Mabel Milne as Vice-President proved herself worthy of the trust granted her. For Secretary-Treasurer, William Binkiewicz scored once again high above his competitors. Dues consisting of ten cents a week were voted upon in order to provide for the social function and class gift later in the year. The first class meeting 'promoted the publication of the Senior Yearbook. ln due order the class officers, assisted by Miss O'Connor and Mr. Lusch, appointed the Editor, Advertising Manager, and Business Manager. The many literary and business staffs were composed of volunteerseniors. Interesting discussions relative to graduation and the Senior Dinner Dance prevailed in the class meetings. Graduation was scheduled for the twenty- second and the Dinner Dance the Saturday prior. To satisfy the Seniors' desire for variety, the Board of Education planned a ceremony less formal though equally as effective. On graduation night, the members newly elected to the National l-lonor Society will be revealed. Those receiving Departmental Awards will be speakers that evening in addition to the valedictory and salutatory deliveries. After Commencement the seniors will find themselves starting on the threshold of life with glorious visions of the future. Though their ways part here and separate courses are destined to be mapped out, the Class of '36 should meet again upon the pinnacle of success. Their Alma Mater bids them a happy course and ultimate success. A 22
