An occasion long to be remembered was the Iunior- Senior Prom. What a gala eventl Of course our de- baters were spoken of highly, as well as our members on the football, basketball, tennis, track and swim- ming teams. Then, before we knew it, we were Seniors. We moved into 3135 our overflow this time occupied 346. We promptly elected our officers: Arthur Kaminski, Presidentg Mable Daly, Vice-presidentg Madeline Ruch, Secretaryg Lillian Blankenbaker, Treasurer. Our first dance came on November 4. Then in quick succession came our trips on education week-elec- tion of the Annual Staff-candy sales-card sales- and Stunt Night. Truth on a Holiday was our Senior Play. It was a huge success and the setting was lovely. Our sin- cere thanks goes to Mr. C. E. Horton for his tireless efforts with both of our plays. The Band Concert came Ianuary IG. A good audi- ence turned out to enjoy the splendid music of the band. Seniors in the band were: William Keller, Oliver Wright, Ioseph Vargo, Lowell Healy, Claude Randall, Vernon Armstrong, Bruce Gabbitas, Charles Peters, Ross Wilson, Edward Green, Fletcher Shaw and Don- ald Cock. Then came the Orchestra Concert on April IZ. The orchestra will lose some valuable players: Isabel Ko- vacs, Elmer Singbiel, Anna Talos, David Copeland, and Marceil Daniel The debate team, of which the Senior members were Willard Adams, Lillian Blankenbaker, Ernest Pacheco and Helen Kovacs, has done an exceptionally fine piece of work.

Seniors who helped make these programs so enjoyable were: Gladys Alderman, Adeline Darin, Har- old Hellar, David Copeland, Elmer Singbiel, Fred Gil- bert, Iesse Petoskey, Harvey Venier, Vernon Arm- strong and Richard Ebendick. Of course our athletes did as fine in their sports, if not even better, than before. On Iune 9 we will be the guests of the Alumni. We are looking forward to that. Our Dinner Dance will be during the last week of school, according to what we hear, We can hardy wait for that event. That last week of school, with Baccalaureate serv- ices, Class Night, Dinner Dance and breath-taking- Commencementfg even the mention of it makes us sad, yet glad.
