A Bit of Senior History N SEPTEMBER 8, 1931, when the Class of 1935 entered Sewan- haka they went after things in a big way. They were called the Frisky F rosh. They started right in electing their officers with the help of Mr. Sanford, Adviser. They elected Wil- liam Irwin, as their President, lune Eitzen, Vice-President, William Robin- son, Secretary, and Herbert Harrison, Treasurer. They elected as representa- tives to the Student Council, Rosalie Brown, Robert Stone, and Robert Shaw. Under the leadership of Mr. Hill they organized a Freshman Band. So ends their Freshman year. Although their Freshman year was ended, they did not end their prominence. When they returned in the Fall of 1932, they, with the help of Mr. Shoudy, as Adviser, elected their class officers. lohn Con- sidine was elected President by a large number of votes. Edgar Gassin, was elected Vice-President. Helen Duncan was elected Secretary and Dorothy Christman was unanimously elected Treasurer. Their main social event was a Sport Dance held in December. Keeping up their record in sports they were able to add two cups in Intra- Of and By the Seniors 0 To the Class of 1935 we wish to extend our heartiest wishes for success and happi- ness in the worlcaday world. O It seems that this class is prosperous as many Seniors are to attend college. 0 Beside being a prosperous class they also have the distinction of being the second class to complete their high school career in Sewanhalca. mural sports to their laurels. 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. With Mr. Nyweide, as Adviser, they elected Kenneth Skidmore, President, lose- phine Copeland, Vice-President, Eliza- beth Burman, Secretary, and Helen Lane, Treasurer and Edward Bush, Editor-in-Chief of the Totem. 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. And now finally their school days are over and we predict that this class, the Seniors of 1935, will go down as one of the outstanding in the annals of our school.

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.
