Buddy Gartner President Roy Beery Vice-President Lois Ehlers Secretary Billy Watson Treasurer lVir. F. L. Duggan Sponsor SENIOR CLASS MOTTO: Every man is the son cf his own works. -Goethe, COLORS: Yellow and green FLOWER: Talisman rose. After a week of balloting and run-offs, Buddy Gartner, football star and American Legion Medal winner at Lanier, was elected President of the l935 Senior Class. The remaining honors were delegated to: Boy Beery, Vice-President, Lois Ehlers, Secretary: and Billy Watson, Treasurer. Mr. F. L. Duggan was named sponsor of the class. As their first business, the officers initiated the Senior Council, composed of representatives from each senior registration, and intended as a legis- lative and executive body for the entire class. Headed by a cabinet composed of the officers and three honorary members, Floy King, Dick Leigh, and lohn Stephen, the council undertook plans for over five hundred graduates. The Gift Committee, with Elton Chambers as chairman, made application through Congress for the donation of a grizzly bear from Yellowstone National Park as a mascot for San lacinto Senior High School of Houston. The year's activities were brought to a close with Senior Week, the Senior Picnic at Sylvan Beach constituting a fare- well party for the entire class. With approximately five hundred and sixty-five graduates, the Class of '35 is one of the largest ever to graduate from San Iacinto, and as it was empha- sized on Class Night, the world is watching them as they look forward with confidence.
