They are: Presi- dent, Arthur Iirbg Vice-president, Lillian Ennis, Secre- tary, Kathryn Gibling Treasurer, Donald Pleille. The Seniors began their social season with the annual lVinter Dance. The music of Jimmy XValker's l'Blue Blazers, an all negro band was the highlight of this year's dance. In January the senior girls held a reception for their mothers. The boys and their fathers, not to be outdone, had a wget-together in February. They were entertained by the Sewanhaka Swing Band, the Boys, Glee Club and a Quiz under the direction of alfable Edward O,Brien. The Senior Play, always one of the year's highlights, was an unusual success. The 1 940 production was Clifford Goldsmith's hilarious comedy, What a Life with John Kilbridge portraying the mischievous Henry Aldrich. Following the annual Senior Ball which was held on the twenty-first of June, the Seniors concluded their high school careers by walking, with somewhat shaky feelings. the graduation platform in the presence of their parents and friends. 13
