fe-A5 4 ' -Y: Il 'wif-ll I 'I 1 n I Senior Class History Shortly after the beginning of the term we, as juniors, assembled in the school chapel to effect a class organization. The meeting was under the direction of George Bitler, President of the Class of,l930 in its junior year. In a brief but interesting talk, Mr. Bitler outlined the accom- plishments of his own class and pointed out the important things which the class as an organized unit would have to do. This over, nominations for the class officers were in order. As a result of the balloting which followed, these men were elected to guide the class through its junior year: CESAR BLANK ........ President j. C. TURNER . Vicc-President jAMEs GARLAND . Secretary - R. SH12RwooD JOHNSON ...... Treasurer Under the leadership of this group, a successful year passed with the junior Prom standing out as a big accomplishment of the class. This event was held in the gymnasium on the evening of May 17 and it is safe to say that no more successful affair of its kind was ever held at Perkiomen. As in the case of all junior years, however, it finally came to an end and we were elevated to the distinguished rank of Seniors. Our Senior year got under way and the necessity again arose for organizing. Professor Kehs, the class adviser, called a meeting for this purpose. When the votes were counted it was found that the following had been elected to guide Senior destinies: R. SHERWOOD JOHNSON ...... President jol-IN G. DRAYTON . . , Vice-President jACK A. STEVENSON . Secretary W. EDWVARD MYERS ...... Treasurer The newly-elected president took the chair and under his direction the question of class dues' the coming Football Dance, and other business was discussed. At a succeeding meeting a com- mittee was elected to make arrangements for the annual Football Dance. This dance is always one of the outstanding social functions at Perkiomen and this year it was no exception. It was held in the artistically decorated gymnasium in the evening of Alunmi Day, November 15. Pep, enthusiasm, the joy of living, ran high all evening, for that same day Perkiomen's football team had given its traditional rival, Wyoming Seminary, its second defeat at the hands of a Perkiomen team and by an overwhelming score. just before Thanksgiving a staff was elected to publish the GR1FFIN, the annual of the Senior Class. Work was started immediately by the staff on this very important project. Needless to say, the job extended over the entire term. As the year drew to a close, preparations were started for the Farewell Dance to he held on the evening of Commencement, june 6. No stone was left unturned to make this the high-water mark in the history of the class. And indeed it so developed: for was it not the event which ended our stay at Perkiomen, the last gathering of the class as a unit? It was a glorious climax to a career of hard work not unmixed with the joy of good fun and lasting friendships within the walls of Dear Old Perki. I i31i I9 I Q ' f5', fi Qi
