Shehian SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The stage is set! Silence, please!! Get those cameras rolling. And so an- other covey of students enter into Sheldon High. Are they brilliant? Are they colossal or outstanding? Do they look like the leaders of the future? Well truthfully and definitely, no!! These new freshies'i merely look like so many scattered sheep apparently upon new ground. But stop!! Don't be deceived by first appearances. Look or delve into the matter a little further. In so doing, you will no doubt discover a class of latent talents, of great possibilities, and as serious-minded a class as Sheldon High has ever turned out. In their first roles, these ninth graders were not noticeably any different from any other class of freshmen. Oh, of course, they had new and different facesfbut in general they possessed the traits of so many classes before them. They followed through the same routines and differed only in their varied and unique touches to the usual school duties. As their first major step forward, these pupils chose their class officers who were none other than: Virginia Bowton, presidentg Alice Vifhite, vice pre- sidentg Mary Alice Hutchinson, secretaryg Dorothy Rock, treasurerg and Mrs. Dorothy Bollin Arseneau, sponsor. This matter decided, the individuals then went on to determine their own peculiar aptitudes and their as yet undiscovered abilities. There was truly an abundance of material. This class, comprised of twen- ty-seven members, went out for all types of extra-curricular activities and brought back the laurels to ye alma mater. At the top of their activity list came music. Many of our members, display- ing an instrumental capacity, entered the band and orchestra, and attended the District Orchestra Contest at Normal, Illinois. The class, too, was provided with a vocal capacity, and the group, very nearly in its entirety, entered into the glee clubs and par-ticipated in the annual Music Festival at Milford. To keep their interests up, this class became devoted to the dramatic and' penetrated the ranks of the distinguished Dramatics Club. And they did so with good, results, keeping up the established standards of the organization. The group, indeed, proved to be quite ambitious. Accordingly, many of them started out on their careers as speech-makers, with their introduction into the Declamatorgy contest. Unfortunately no person attained any great concession or prize by their readings, but all did benefit and profit from the experience. Pursuing the dramatic vein, certain of our classmates took part in the one- act freshman play, Feeding the Spiritsff and likewise proved their merits. Then too, interest in the athletic world was awakened, Several boys be- came members of the basketball squad and the track team. Many girls joined the GAA with two of them, Virginia Bowton and Alice White, attaining first and second places in the Telegraphic shooting tournament. But enough of the extra-curricular. We must needs turn to the scholarly and see that all of our members survived this first year with many of them achieving those famed and valued S's. Xfacation came...vacation passed...and again the class assembled. To our sorrow, one of our fellow students, Alice Meyers, had expired during the sum- mer. Our group, however, was increased by the addition of Clarence Arm- .strong, Lowell Gouty, and Mary Jane Smartz. Again class officers were chosen with the following list being formulated: Alice White, presidentg James Smith, vice presidentg Martha Thompson, secre- tary, XVIDSIOW Silvers, treasurer, Mrs. Dorothy Close Adams, sponsor. Entering into the many school affairs, our class continued its long list of active participations and again became outstanding in certain fields. Our male athletes became more experienced and more skilled. Don Ewen won second in the county discus throw, while LeRoy Fletcher ran off with third place in the half-mile race. Also, two classmates, Patty Gordon and Mar- Trip the light fantastic. Horseshoe contest. George pitches to victory I9lI-2
