In fhe fall of '33 Ihey refurned and hav- ing finished fheir discussions of IasI' sum- mer's boyfriend, and my sunfan, fhe class re-elecfed Bob and began anofher ferm of progress. Ola Poffer, Rufh Ziegler and Arfhur Whifehair were fhe ofher of- ficers. The class paper again appeared under fhe supervision of Irving Penn and lhe sfaff of Ihe Trojan was chosen. Penn was also elecfed fo edif fhe work of 'rhe Record Book. A IZA dance was held which was successful. This was due in a grea+ many ways 'ro fhe Commiflee, headed by Chairman Bill Welfe. Rufh Ziegler, fhe secrefary of fhe class, was honored a+ fhis Time by being elecfed fo fhe vice-presi- dency of fhe school. Lasf buf by no means Ieasf. 'Iheir picfures were faken and whaf sad faces were exhibifed while lhey lived fhrough fhose anxious momenfsl And whaf fun fhey had when fhe picfures refurnedl They were convinced fhaf fhe Trojan would be a miniafure rogue's gallery. As a finale 'ro The ferm. The Prom was held af fhe Old York Road Counfry Club. Those were anxious momenfs when Ihe young man who had spenf his allowance waifed breafhlessly fo hear pop give his consenf fo advanc- ing fhe fwo dollars.

This was fheir Iasf chance fo render some service fo fhe school which would always be re- membered. Again fhe class paper was dis- fribufed. This ferm if appeared wifh Lew Greene as Edifor-in-Chief. Earnesf work was begun on +he parf of rhe Troian sfaff. Class meefings were held every week, pre- sided over by Bob Beiswenger and made enioyable by I'he wil' of Mr. Johnsfon.
