SEIXIICDR CLASS THIZ SENIOR CLASS started off their activities this year with the election of their officers: President, Kenneth Germanng Vice-President, -Iohn Hallg Secretary, Thelma Jenningsg Treasurer, Betty Thomas. After several of the Seniors, including President Ken Germann, helped in winding up a successful football season, the class settled down to their activities of the social season. The Wiiitei' Dance, always a colorful affair, headed the list and proved to be an auspicious beginning, both financially and socially. A Mothers' tea was next on the program. This was soon followed by the Fathers' recep- tion in February at which time, approximately a hundred and fifty fathers were welcomed by Dr. Stanforth. They were entertained by a Sewanhalca swing trio, a moving picture, and the Boys' Glee Club. This year a new plan for the production of the Senior play was introduced. Because of the unusually large number who tried out for the play, it was decided to run the program on two successive nights with a different cast for each night. The play was I'll Leave It to Youf' by Noel Coward. John lilavin and joseph Strube tools the lead- ing role on Friday and Saturday respectively. In June the most important social event of the season is the Senior Ball. This year it occurred on the twenty-third. Two days later, Dr. Paul Eddy, President of Adelph College gave the class address. This year a new plan was introduced for the Commencement program. The grow- ing number of Seniors has made it increasingly diflicult to hold the exercises in the auditorium. To overcome this diiliculty half the class, with their parents angl friends present, received their diplomas one night while the other half received theirs the follow- ing night. The entire class was present both nights for the climax of their high school careers. .Il-Q, l i
