Allen, president: I. Power , vice-preaident. SENIOR V-MAIL Dear Phil, I received your letter yesterday and here 1 am answering on the double.- You asked about the goings on of our class, so settle yourself down and 1 shall relate the happenings. Well, after twelve 1-o-n-g years, thirteen counting kindergarten, I am now a ‘mighty Senior. It gives one a superior feeling. If you visited the school you would probably be reminded of your own high school days, as though, 1 consider this Senior class the best yet. At our first class meeting we elected Doug Allen, president; James Powers, vice-president; Lucille player, secretary; Adrienne Bell, treasurer; and Junior Rosenman, G. 0. councilman. We had outstanding players on the football team and had Herb Gerdes voted a 11-scnolastic by the ‘Review Star and the 'Newsday . We cair.e so close towinning the ‘® league championship too--but South Side tied us. Anyhow, our baskets 11 team gave us honors by becoming the B league champs. All of the players on the team were Seniors--hubhah; hubbahj We never could talk after the games, as we ye 1 led so much. If the cafeteria walls could speak, what stories they would have to tell. Bo-wangi Pror dates, hot gossip, homework assignments, sports, and dates of the night before, were all discussed within these four walls. The latest slang was heard at various tables. An occasional shriek fron an unsuspecting person who happened to sit on a tack was not out of tlie ordinary. Almost every week, the strains of 'Happy Birthday could be lieard echoing throughout the room. ?, r. pieper and Niss Sullivan deserve Purple Hearts, or something, for taking charge of such a rambunctious class, in such small quarters. And now with only a fewweeks left, I truly fee 1 a little sad at the thought of leaving the place. Yep, I’m even sorry that there’ll be no more trips to the office. All 1 have left is memories--ah, wliat memories! How the fellows us d to knock themselves out playing baskettal1 at noontime. You should have seen the girls go into ecstasy over the returning servicemen. .. aid. This is all for now, so...till tiien Love and C H 0 Now, now don't look so pleased. 15
