Under the skillful leadership of Joe Lewis as president, supported by Milton Chevetton, vice-president; Martha Johnston, secretary; Gregory Johns, treasurer, and Herbert Ivey, yell leader, the mighty class was on its way to make an inimitable record in South Pasadena High School. Miss Madge Hill was the adviser. And with true Wfiger Spiritii these sophomores started out to do things! Progressing to their junior year, the class elected Larry Thompson, presi- dent; Milton Cheverton, vice-president; Mary Bellerue, secretary, and Jean Tillot- son, treasurer. Mrs. Beatrice Bersin was their able adviser. The class displayed its ability by winning first prize for originality of design in the annual Thanks- giving Drive. They gave the most successful Junior Rally and beautiful Prom of many years. The Prom had for its theme, a moonlight night in the South Sea Islands with all of the atmosphere, even to the leis. With unfailing energy and courage this class faced its triumphant senior year. Led by Dick Newton, president; Tom Allen, vice-president; Mary Belle- rue, secretary; Helen Schmidt, treasurer, and with the capable advice of Miss M. Olwen Thomas, the senior class accomplished its high aims. Herbert Ivey in- spired the class with pep and enthusiasm for the third consecutive year in his position as yell leader. Practice makes perfect, and this year the seniors in the Thanksgiving Drive, headed by Jim Woolacott, won all three prizes for quantity, percentage of the class contributing and for the originality of the booth. 7 Grumpy, was chosen as the senior play. Directed by Miss Margaret Lauer, the leading roles were portrayed by Mary Bellerue and David Blaine, who were aided by a capable cast. The play was very successful and was given to an over- ! flowing house. On May 20, the privileged seniors left school and attended the Hollywood Riviera Club, where they enjoyed themselves greatly on Senior Day. Larry Thompson was general chairman. The final event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom which was held in the High School Cafeteria. All too soon came graduation, but the members of the senior class have proved and will continue to prove as they go on to college and their various careers, that ufew things are impossible to diligence and skill?
