Page 16 THE LEGEND Senior Section The Seniors Comp OH'icers of Other Years Serve Again The class of 1933 has been suc- cessfully guided through this eventful year under the able guid- ance of four young men. Heading this list and serving as president is the forever grinning Elmer Blume, otherwise known as TugH. Hoiv- ard Youse, a boy not so dignified as one would think, as vice-presi- dent assisted Elmer in his executive duties. Max Jaehn held the purse strings of the class while acting as secretary- treasurer. Leo Stewart ably directed the social activities. All four boys led their class, being leaders in extra-curricular activi- ties. Too much can not be said in appreciation of the counsel and assistance of the class advisers, Miss Judith Bowen and Mr. Rob- ert Sinks. Two of these officers this year were former presidents of the class. They are Leo Stewart and Max Jaehn. Leo has also acted as vice- president. Howard Youse also served as vice-president and secre- tary-treasurer. Elmer Blume and iete Four Years of Outstanding Work Senior Advisers . ' - f- ak' V, . -i ' T .

Sen- ior week had that traditional Kid Day as one of its highlights when all of the seniors forgot their much-heralded dignity and dress- ed like little tots. Following this very humorous event, the distinguished seniors came to school proudly arrayed in their caps and gowns to receive the last grade cards of their high school careers. Commencement week began with the baccalaureate service at the Plymouth Congregational Church with Dr. Arthur Folsom deliv- ering the baccalaureate address. The next thing of importance was the period of time that the eminent seniors spent around North Side in reminiscence before leaving the school as graduates. There was an attitude of pathos exhibited by many of the seniors as they lingered around North Side for the last few hours before they took their departure, never to return as students. On June 13, the Commence- ment exercises were held in the auditorium before a large gather- ing of interested spectators. This year, instead of calling in an out- side speaker, graduating seniors addressed the august body assem- bled there. The History of Fort Wayne was used as the Com- mencement theme. 'There were several living pictures portraying scenes of Fort Wayne history. Kermit Livingston wrote the hist- ory, and Howard Youse discussed ii. He spoke while the many scenes were being portrayed. The scenes were An Indian Council Fire, The Indians and the French, English Supremacy, Building and Dedication of Fort Wayne f1794l, Canal Days, Camp Allen, Indus- trial Development of Fort Wayne, and North Side Redskins, Succes- sors to the Miami Indians.
