Senior Class History H-our youthful days? Let's see-yes, of course we were all babies once-ate bread and milk and in fear and trembling did awful stunts for stern, cruel judges. After that-I believe we ventured into politics and elected Fanchon Hathaway president and Marie von Schroeder keeper of the safety deposit vault. Athletics? Why, we defeated our rivals, the Sophomores in the annual basket ball game. That was a day for you! What happened next? There was a banquet at the Thadwa and-of course those days are a bit dim being so many years past. The Sophomore year was very busy with its social, musical, literary and dramatic interests. Lolo Jeffries was our chief executivell that year, Edna Rendall had charge of the finance and Norma Haegg kept our books.
