' p 'T F L! t m HIS year seems a special one, for the graduating class of 1934- is the first to have completed the four-year course given in Sewanhaka. The members en- tered our halls as insignificant freshmen, in t11e fall of 1930, little knowing what was in store for them. Early in the school year they elected their class oliicers: Robert Baumann, presi- dent, Jeannette Parry, vice-presidentg Edward Rudolph, treasurer, Mae Skoggard, secretaryg Hedwig Eitzen and Clara Sherman, representatives to the Student Council. The activities of their freshmen year were a Thanksgiving Masquerade, two assembly programs, and an informal Spring Hop. So the initial year rolled by. In addition to a Valentine assembly, the important functions of the sophomores were a Christmas dance, a tea dance on lVlarch 4, and a formal soiree held May 13. The class officers for this year were Edward Rudolph, presidentg Robert Baumann, vice-presidentg Paul Slawter, secretary, Mae Skoggard, treasurer. Arthur Kurlh and Clara Sherman were the Student Council representatives. Thus half of their high school career was completed. Charles Goff -was elected president for the junior year, and the other oliicers were Archer Starace, vice-president, Hedwig Eitzen, secretary, Pearl Hansen, treas- urer. Later Stanley Rehm succeeded Archer Starace in the vice-presidency. For the third time Clara Sherman was chosen Council representative, while Paul Slawter also served in that capacity. The prominent social events of this year were a Hard Luck ,party held on Friday, the thirteenth of January, and the .lunior Prom, which willqlong be recalled by the many who enjoyed the hospitality of the Juniors on that occasion. - The junior girls received first place in the soccer and archery tournaments and ian second in hockey and basketball competition. The outstanding accomplishment of this year was the publishing of the 1933 Totem. At the first senior meeting the class once more elected Robert Baumann presi- dent. Howard Westphal was chosen vice-president, Carl Burmann, treasurer, and Hedwig Eitzen, secretary. The seniors started this year with an Armistice Dance on November 10. They will hold their Senior ball in June. This year there is an inno- vation in that the first graduation Baccalaureate service will be held. Dr. Frank Blodgett, President of Adelphi College, will be the speaker. Another new feature appears in the type of commencement. Instead of having outside speakers or student orators, this year's commencement will consist of demonstrations of each of the six departments in school: art, science, physical e.ducation, social science, music and mathematics. l13l
