Phelps Orr Nolan Wilson THE SENIOR CLASS TT HE Class of 1935 began its journey to graduation with a seasoned staff in control of its destinies. The class elected Jimmie Wilson, a Pittsburg candidate, as its President, with Clinton Phelps as his running mate. Each had been president of the class during its rise from obscurity to prominence on the campus. The cabinet was completed by the election of Jane Orr as Secretary, and Adah Faith Nolan as Treasurer. Rose Izen, Kanza Queen, and John Haberbosch, president of the class dur- ing its Junior year, were selected as Senior representatives to the Student Council.

Even Seniors have their childish mo- ments—hence, the Senior Sneak! It began with cuts for all classes, rose to heights with a picnic, and was climaxed with a dance at Lincoln Park. In the days that followed, the activities crowded closely upon one another. The Senior Banquet was quickly followed by President Brandenburg’s Reception at his home. We bade formal farewell to our Alma Mater on Class Day and our undergraduate days drew to a close. Baccalaureate found us in our caps and gowns, feeling a trifle con- spicuous, but proud! Commencement was at hand and we closed our Senior Year, sur- rounded by our friends, clothed in Cap and Gown, a diploma in our hands, and a lump in 25 THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C.-PITTSBURG, KANSAS
