The GRADUATES ROBERT STONE MYRA AGRICOLA DOROTHY CHRISTMAN ELIZABETH BURMAN President Vice President Secretary Treasurer HIS year's class, as the classes before them from Sewanhaka, was very fortu- nate in the fact that they had five very capable and intelligent people as their leaders-Mr. Eklund, Adviser, Robert Stone, President, Myra Agricola, Vice- Presidentp Dorothy Christman, Secretary, and Betty Burman, Treasurer. The first Senior social function of the year, the Barn Dance, was held on October 27. Their next social success was a St. Patrick's Dance on March 8. Though it was a week before St. Patrick's Day, the dance had the atmosphere of that day, green punch and all. The Senior play Growing Pains, produced on March 15, caused consider- able excitement among the students. As a whole, the activities of the class went on smoothly and efficiently.

Their lunior year, one of the most important years of a class because they have responsibility of publishing a Year Book, was a huge success.

Their social season, a big success, was opened by a Barn Dance in November. Of course they had a Iunior Prom, without which no class could be com- plete.
