We have memories, both happy and sad, of these days spent together. To keep these memories, now so dear to us, we are recording them on the pages of The Echoes so they may never pass into oblivion. If, in the years to come, this annual shall bring back fond memories and renew old acquaintances, we shall feel greatly rewarded for our efforts. The Annual Staff DEDICATION We gratefully dedicate this publication to our Mothers and Fathers, as a token of thanks for their many sacrifices which enabled us to enjoy a High School education. As our last lessons are recited to the Master, may the accomplishments of our lives prove these sacrifices were not made in vain. Class of '35 Page two - .

C. W. McCleary EDUCATION in a democracy, both with- in and without the school, should de- velop in each individual the knowledge, interests, ideals, habits, and powers by which he will be able to find his place, to shape both himself and society toward ever nobler ends. In order to accomplish this, careful train- ing of the student throughout his school career is essential. Only through coopera- tion between the student and the faculty can this goal be attained. The administra- tive body is continually striving to fit each graduate for his place in life. We, as graduates, are grateful to the faculty for their efforts and will do our best to live up to their expectations of us. ADMINISTRATION I Page five Board Of Education Mr. l,evi Hilty Mr. Francis George Mr. John Beerman Mr. John Goodwin lir. I. C. Stayner, President Mr. H. B. Sunderland, Clerk The American High School is one of the few billion dollar industries. Its successful management requires the beast minds that society can provide. No other busi-- ness can compare with the high school in the difficulty of its problems, because it deals with the most delicate of all things, the human being. This nation is deeply indebted to the officials and teachers who face the prob- lem of running our high schools. The class of '35 is indeed grateful to our Board of Education for the successful management of the school, thus enabling us to complete our full term. Standing - Mr. Reerman - Mr. George Seated - Mr. Hilty - llr. Stayner - Mr. Goodwin l'11.gv six . i Mr. McCleary Mr. Kurth Miss Deemer Mr. Hausser Miss Reiner Faculty Raises School Standard At the head of our school is C. W. McCleary, B. S. and B. S. in Ed., who re- ceived his training at Ohio Northern and Ohio State Universities. Superintendent McCleary teaches World History and Civics. During the five years that he has been here, Mr. McCleary has shown that he is interested not only in educational advance- ment, but also in the development of a fine school spirit. One of our new teachers is Frank E. Kurth, who holds the degree of B. S. in Ed. and is a graduate of Wittenberg College. Through his efforts, one of the strong- est basketball teams in the county has been built up. He has won the respect of the entire community by his encouragement of good sportsmanship at all times. He also coaches the volleyball and baseball teams. The subjects which he teaches are Ameri- can Government, General Science, Commercial Arithmetic, and Commercial Geography. Miss Bonnie Deemer, who received the degree of A.B. from Ohio University, teaches Spanish II and English II and IV. She has been with us for seven years. During this time, Miss Deemer has endeared herself to the hearts of her pupils through her cheerful ways and her understanding spirit. Mathematics and Physics, the terrors of most high school pupils, have been made interesting and practical by Mr, Hausser. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baldwin Wallace College. In the subjects which he teaches, his aim is to impress upon his pupils the necessity of clear and logical thinking. The senior class play, 310,000 Reward , was directed by Mr. Hausser along with Miss Deemer. Miss Aileen Reiner, a graduate of Ohio State University with an A.B. degree, is the teacher of Latin and English I and III. Through her teaching of Latin the pupils have learned of the customs of the early Romans and have received a better understanding of the English language. She has proven her dramatic ability in her direction of the glass plays. The Junior-Senior Prom, under her supervision, will always remain a pleasant memory in the minds of the class of '35. Page seven Miss Townsend Miss Rickenbacher Miss Miller Mr. Balo Miss Hursh Our other new teacher is Miss Mabel Townsend, a former graduate of Spencer- ville High School. She attended Miami University where she received the degree of B. S. in Ed. This year the girls' basktball team, under her guidance, was declared County League Champion and was runner-up in the tournament. This proves her coaching ability. Her chief desire in school teaching is to develop a democratic and cooperative spirit among the students. Commercial subjects are taught by Miss Wilma Rickenbacher. She holds the degree of B. S. in Ed. from Ohio Northern University. Her aim is to help prepare the student for a business career. Miss Rickenbacher resigned and her place has been filled capably by Miss Florence Bancroft of Urbana, Ohio. Miss Ruth Miller, the home economics teacher, received her degree of B. S. in Ed. at Bowling Green College. Her subjects are practical because they prepare the stu- dent for later life. The cooking class, under Miss Miller's supervision, has proven its merits by cooking for the various social functions of the year. Vocational Agriculture is efficiently taught by W. L. Balo. Here the students are prepared for a vocation which will prove useful to them. He is the director of the Iluture Farmers Club. Mr. Balo graduated from Ohio State University where he received a B. S. degree in agriculture. The close of the '35 term marked Miss Elinor Hursh's fifteenth year in Spencer- ville schools. She is our music and art director. This year the operetta And It Rained was' successfully given under her supervision. Her patience and kindness have won for her many friends. Page eight Senior Reminiscences Four years ago we started climbing the steps of high school to a career. At last we have reached the summit of our school education, but let us tarry awhile. As we look down the stairs we are reminded of many profitable and entertaining happenings. As Freshmen we were as green as the majority of them. At our first enrollment we numbered 56. Through our Digging and working together, we came up the steps as Sophomores. At this stop we were well represented in athletics and the musical organizations. We were privileged to have one social affair which was the annual Weiner roast. Through the careful guidance of Mr. Pennington in the first two years, we were again led up another Hight and we paused as Juniors. Our Junior year proved our power to Dig . Our first big event was the class play, Speeding Along . The dramatic ability of our class was well exhibited. The Seniors invited us to their rabbit supper and at the close of the term we entertained them very successfully. We have reached the top with Miss Deemer as our sponsor. Durng the first semester we met the Juniors at the weiner roast and rabbit supper. The initation of the new members on the school enrollment, also Miss Townsend and Mr. Kurth, was enjoyed by everyone. We presented the plays Dumb Do1ivar and 5B10,000 Reward with great success. For the second year the girls have won the school championship in the Intramural Tournament, and this year our boys received the honor of being the winner. The Juniors receive our regards for the fine reception they gave in our honor. Our class was again represented in the athletics, glee clubs, orchestra, and band. Now, as we enter the corridor, the Alumni are bidding us welcome, but as we glance down the steps we see the faculty standing below us with underclassmen whom they will bring up the same flight in the coming years. Many are the times we went to class unprepared, but the faculty stood by with patience. The underclassmen who are watch- ing will soon be following in our footsteps to a commence- ment. Our part is finished but theirs is yet to come. With regret that we must part, we bid the faculty and those who take our place a kind Farewell .

People coming and going. Trains arriv- ing and leaving. Here are two busy girls at the information booth in the Great Eastern Terminal Station, New York City. On the first train arrived the great nationally known woman lawyer, Helen Rider. She came for the purpose of settling the disputes between Angela fRuth Mackl and Wuggins fPaul Mitchellj which originated in Speeding Along . About ten minutes later, Lorene Shaffer arrived on the liner Rex from a ccnrert tour abroad with her husband, who is a great band master. Later, with Berniece Craft as their private secretary, Margaret Steiger and Mar- jorie Miller were embarking for France. They are planning to take vocal training for opera. While looking around the Terminal, we saw Pepper fNormanl Martin saun- tering around, awaiting the next train which was to carry him to Chicago, where hc was to join the Cubs as a pitcher. He told us that our classmate, Maurice Macklin, the great reporter, was to cover the story concerning the arrival of Carl McMichael, recently titled World Champion Light-Weight boxer. At noon we went to lunch with Josephine Swartz and Lucille Augsburger who were working in the secretarial department of the station. We ate at a neat-looking coffee-shop whose proprietor was Austin Hoverman. He had employed as waitresses, Mary Myers and Caroline Ward. We hired a Yellow Cab to return to the Terminal. The driver of the taxi was Charles Sandkuhl. . On entering, Thomas Bassett, the porter, brought us the New York Daily in which we read about Vera Moorman and Dorothy Sherman, who had become great actresses. They were being featured on the stage at the Roxy Theater in the new stage hit, Breakfast at 5:30 , written by the now-famous author, Ruth Kennedy. On the science sheet, in headlines, we saw that Wayne Sutton had at last found a scientific way of taking the aches, pains, and bores out of Spanish. We are sure that our former sponsor, Miss Deemer, will be glad to know this. We also read of Ruth Keller, the expert hair stylist, who had just returned from Paris. At 4:10 P. M. a special train arrived, bearing contestants who were to take a speed test in typing. Among them were Mary Brandyberry, Laura Moorman, Mary Grandstaff, Catherine Beerman, and Mary Rigdon. As we were awaiting the arrival of the next train, we found in a remote corner, asleep on a bench, Paul Haver. Across from him was Willard Miller munching pea- nuts, with his newly-wed wife, Pauline Fissel, asleep on his broad manly shoulder. The next train, arriving at 4:30, was delayed ten minutes, while fmuch to his disgustl John Wolfe, the nursemaid, helped the famous Lowry children, ftwins, triplets, etc.,l disembark from the train. Following were the proud parents, the formsr Mary Doughty and Robert Lowry, smiling as if they hadn't a care in the worl . On the way to our apartment, we came upon a very excited and noisy group. After inquiring, we found that Pauline Lusk, Rose Mueller, and Esther Beerman, three school teachers, who were taking a trip through the eastern states, had been seriously injured and were rushed to the Riverside Hospital. Since they had been our classmates, we went to the hospital for further information. We found that the attending doctor was none other than Raymond. Johnson and the nurses were Lois Gallaspie, Bernetta Harter, and Retha Seibert. On leaving the hospital, we met Blaine Brincefield, the widely known insurance agent. He escorted us to the famous Jones and Coil Circus . On entering the large tent, we bought our tickets of Adrian Grassley who was screeching, tickets sold here. In the first ring was Milo Shobe performing all kinds of stunts, while in an- other ring was Jack Roeder performing tricks and tight-rope walking. He seemed to be quite nervous, no wonder, for there sitting on the front row was his wife, Helena Zuber! She was so excited that she didn't even speak to us. The center ring attraction was Edward Post, commanding his trained lions to do the most difficult tricks. Although we had spent a pleasant day, we were glad to get back to our apart- ment where we could rest. What a day! What a day!

Junior Class History In September, 1934, fifty-six Juniors trooped into the Spencerville High school to start on the third lap of their high school education. This year's census showed that eleven students had dropped from the roll of sixty-seven since the beginning of their Freshman year. We regret the loss of Carl Davies this year, who is now it the Lima Tuberculosis Hospital. Our best wishes for his early recovery go to lm. We felt the usual importance of being upper classmen, and started at once to take up our responsibilities. At an election of officers the following were chosen: Dean Deniston, Pres.g John Cochrun, V. Pres., Mary Maurer, Sec'y.g Frank Mar-k, Treas., and Robert Townsend, Reporter. The class of '36 has always been active and is proud of the talents of its mem- bers. This class is well represented in our School Band, Orchestra and Glee Clubs. lThe High School Boys' Quartet, which has taken many honors, is composed of Junior oys. We have furnished many winners in the County Scholarship Tests, and also have the honor of having a member of our class represent Spencerville in the County Peace Declamation Contest this year. We were also very good athletes. Our athletic ability is shown in our repre- sentation on the Basket Ball, Volley Ball and Baseball teams. As no varsity team members could play on the Intramural teams, we were handicapped in the tourna- ment. The boys were defeated in their first game with the Freshmen by a score of 26 to 21. The girls were more successful and although they were defeated in the finals by the Seniors, they were no easy mark. On November 9 and 13 our class presented two plays, Huburt the Great and Hero by the Hour before packed houses, and proved that they were actors as well as athletes, musicians and scholars. As for our social activities, we have enjoyed our Weiner roast, rabbit supper and athletic banquet. But the climax of the year came on April 18, when we gave a farewell banquet to the Seniors. Fine things may be expected of this class another year. Page fifteen Y Roberts. Ned Miller, Vera Plikerd. David Fisher Mabel Stelzer, Roger Reynolds. Second Row: Robert Miller.

Dear Echo Fans: As you haven't heard from our class since we were Freshmen, we thought per- haps you would like to hear the latest news. ' On September 3, 1934, we started to school as very sophisticated Sophomores, with Mr. Hausser as our sponsor. We had an enrollment of 76, which was seven less than we had as Freshmen. Our class elected Ned Roeder, president: William Foster, vice-presidentg Jean Mack, secretary, Betty Clantz, treasurer, and Jean Neidhardt, reporter. On the afternoon of September 21 the Sophomores and Juniors watched the honorable Seniors initiate the little innocent Freshmen. On the follow- ing Iirlday the Freshmen and Sophomores held their annual Weiner roast at the high sc oo . Although our class teams, after a hard struggle, were both defeated in the first round of the Intramural Tournament, we were exceedingly proud of the three girls and three boys who represented us in the County Tournament. Our class is well represented in baseball this year. Special notice should also be given to the four boys from our class who had the honor of singing in the High School Glee Club. Many Sophomores were also members of both the band and the orchestra. Two members of our class took part in the Musical Contest at Ada. There are also five Sophomore boys who belong to the Future Farmers' Club. We hope to be more ex- tenslvely represented in all these activities next year, but we think that we have done exceedingly well, this being our second year in high school. Until you hear from us next year, we remain Sincerely yours, The Sophomore Class Page six teen First Row: Betty Clantz, James Hooker, Joline Harold Augsburger, Mary Grassley.

Freshman emoirs On the third morning of September, seventy-six meek Freshmen cast inquiring frlances toward our superiors, the upperclassmen and members of the faculty, as we began our high school career. . ' The first outstanding event of the year was, in our estimation, the Freshman initiation. We were received with much informality on the part of the Seniors. The Sophomores welcomed us into the fold by sharing their valuable time with us at the Freshman-Sophomore Weiner roast. .At the half of the year we elected Stewart Spray as our President, with the assistance of John Stoseuas Vice-President, and Mary Mack as Secretary-Treasurer. Later we chose the class colors of Red and White. I We take off our hats to the Seniors as a tribute to their victory over our girls in the preliminaries, and also over our boys in the finals of the Intramural Tourna- ment. . Our class was well represented in the orchestra and band. We are exceedingly proud of our brilliant classmates who competed in the Scholarship Test. Miss Townsend was our capable sponsor. Under her supervision we spent a very enjoyable year. We are all looking forward into the hazy future when we hope to become the class of '38. Page sefventeen AUTOGRAPHS Today activities play a more import- ant part in school life than ever before. Great educators realize the need for whole- some recreation and intelligent use of leisure time. Modern high schools offer a varied recreational program which meets this need. These activities not only pro- mote a desire for wholesome associations and recreation, but also develop courage, self-control, self-sacrifice, courtesy, kind- ncss, loyalty, obedience, honesty, coopera- tion and initiative. These qualities enable the student to live a fuller and more use- ful life.

The combined Boys' and Girls' Clubs presented the operetta, And It Rained , which was very successful. On March 22, the club took part in the Allen County Music Festival at the Memorial Hall in Lima. Also on April 12, it took part in the Northwestern Ohio Graded Festival at Bluffton, where it received the rating of Very Good. May the Glee Club continue to improve and obtain success in the future.

Boys Receive Valuable Training In September the Boys' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Hursh, started out to achieve a reputation of which they could feel proud. Margaret Reynolds was the pianist. In February the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs presented the operetta And It Rainedu. In this they gained a good reputation. It was directed by Miss Hursh and Miss Reiner. They also took part in the Allen County Festival and in the Northwestern Ohio Graded Festival in which they received the rating of good. Let us hope that they will continue to improve so that each succeeding year we may say that they have reached heights never before attained.

We played for many High School activities and other events. On Friday, March 23, we attended the Allen County Music Festival, and on Friday, April 5, -ve received third place in the Northwestern Ohio Music Contest at North Baltimore. We regret the loss of our Senior members but hope for a successful year in '35-'36, l'n,yc fwwnfy-four Band Continues Splendid Work At our first band meeting .50 members signed on the dotted line and began to practice for the band. Under our talented leader, Mr. Pearce, we prepared a con- cert which was given in the high school auditorium. On February 16 we broad- casted over station WOWO in Ft. Wayne. On Easter Sunday we presented a con- cert at Lima for the inmates of the State Criminal Insane Asylum. Here we were iirst rigged up in our new uniforms. To finish up the year we attended a band festival in Van Wert, Ohio, on May 3 and 4. Here we gave a concert under the direction of Henry Fillmore. We look with regret to the loss of our Senior mem- bers, but we wish them lots of luck and hope we may have another successful year in '35-'36.

Hausser and Bonnie Deemer STORY OF THE PLAY Huburt Montmorency Qborn Henry Hicksj is the property man of the Curtis Comedians, a road show that does its best for drayma and the hinterlands. They have all the funny troubles of a road show, a manager who pays five down and five when you catch himg a leading lady and leading man who fall in love and out, a dour-faced comedian, and a sheriff who camps on their trail. He knows all about these-here-now theayter people by cracky! Then there are two wise and wise- cracking girls who can play-and say-whatever comes next, Elsie, who's all business over popcorn and peanuts and all heart over Huburtg and last and greatest trouble of all, there's Huburt! He has a heart as big as a mountain, a pump of conceit as big as two mountains, and a brain so simple a child could run it. The harder he falls the higher he bounces. He puts his lines over the footlights and over into the next county. We don't know which scene is funniest. It's a draw between his attempt to ask Hattie to mend his pants, when she thinks he is propos- ing, his collapse into the property trunk when he finds he's engaged, etc. It pro- vides occasion for continuous laughter, yet has tenderness and drama as well as humor.

Aileen Reiner and Wilma Rickenbacker STORY OF THE PLAY Ken, rich and bored with life, goes to sleep over a story, wakens to the sound of shots, and tumbles off his resting place into a fake mystery his friends have planned. But the fake mystery crosses wires with the real thing and shortly Ken is playing the hero in dead earnest. There are excellent parts for the leads, brilliant, witty, and sophisticated, there's dear old Katie, the nurse, who will be remembered a long, long time, and sure fire parts for the girls-an indignant colored lady, a military highbrow, and a team of entertainers. Other tempting parts are Millie, whom Walt lovesg Betty, whom Ken loves, and Gladys, whom everybody loves. There's a slow cop and detective that's brighter than usual. The play is fashionable in setting and everyone wears his best clothes and hands out his best line of re- marks, and what with fake mystery and real mystery and gem thieves and kid- napping there's enough excitement to last even Ken for the next five years. All the ingredients of success meet in this play-thrills, romance and unlimited laughter. Presented by special arrangements with the Dramatic Publishing Co., Chicago, Ill.

Josephine Swartz STORY OF THE PLAY Dumb Dolivar deserved his name. He shouldn't have fallen in love with Patty Hampton when her hot-tempered Papa had already picked his future son-in-law. Or, if he did have to fall in love with Patty, he should have married her first and tried to settle things with Papa later. But Dolivar comes to the Holly Inn to meet Papa. Then, thinks Dolivar, everything will be different. It is. It's worse. He tries to get into Papa's good graces, and he just gets in his hair. Papa and Doliver get along quietly-just like a boiler factory. John Hampton roars like a lion, but he's being led like a lamb to the slaughter, for a grass widow intends to marry Papa for his bankroll, and her ex-husband has convinced Papa that's he's just the husband for Patty. Then Dolivar comes to be Hampton's secretary. It seems like such a good idea. Of course, Dolivar has never been a secretary before, but then Hampton has never had a secretary before, either. When the curtain rises, Dolivar appears. He looks in the room and then puts his foot in it. He keeps right on doing the wrong things in the wrong way at the wrong time until the final curtain.

M aurice Macklin REVIEW OF THE PLAY So many things happen in such quick succession that to tell the story would require more space than we have. However, briefly: Take as an opening situation the following constituents: an actress trying to coerce the owner of Castle Rock Inn into selling her property to a.movie colony, the arrival by plane of a famous air hero whose mission, it is understood, is selecting locations for government airportsg and a posted reward of 510,000 for the capture of a gang of diamond robbers be- lieved to be in the vicinity of the Inn. Add to this the comedy, love interests, and counter plots occasioned by the actions of the many delightful characters, and top it with the numerous amusing situations resulting from almost everybody turning sleuth, in a mad attempt to win the 510,000 reward, and you have a play that is a continuous occurrence of merry mix-ups.

Through the able coaching of Miss Townsend, the squad was declared League Champions and runners-up in the tournament. Of their 21 times on the floor the girls won 16 and had one tie game. This year we lose four of our team by graduation. DOUGI-ITY-Captain and guard, always with her team when she was needed. Iler equals are few when it comes to playing basketball. REYNOLDS--Guard, she never shirked but played until the final gun was fired. Iler absence will be xery evident. MOORMAN--Forward, when it came to making baskets Vera was right there. She helped win many a game. MACK-Forward, even though Ruth was a substitute she will be missed. When- ever she was in the game she did her part. COACH TOWNSEND-Although this is her first year she has proved her worth. MANAGER SHAFFER-Also a Senior. She never refused to do her duty but worked faithfully with the coach and team. Those who will remain for the team next year are: Ruth Hayes, Evelyn Failor, Mary Stonehill, Jean Mack, Edith Hayman, Martha Stonehill Mildred Metzger.

PROVIDE THRILLS Under the capable guidance of the new coach, Frank Kurth, the boys' basketball team had a very successful season. Although they did not win all their games, they have learned many lessons in sportsmanship and fair play, which will help them in time to come. The team will greatly miss the excellent playing of Carl McMichael, the only player to graduate this year. He was chosen honorary captain for '35 and '36, With five lettermen returning next year, Coach Kurth thinks that he will have a very successful team next season. The results of this year's games are as follows: Spencerville Union Spencerville Beaverdam Spencerville Mendon Spencerville ......,..... ...,,......., G omer Spencerville Ohio City Spencerville .,.......... .............

Volleyball Team Holds Enviable Record In the fall of '34 Spencerville was invited to attend a Northwestern Ohio Volley- ball tournament held in Lima. For our first game we drew Lafayette, the winners of 1933. It was a double elimination tournament and each had had to win two out of three games before the set was won. In two games Lafayette came out on top, putting Spencerville into the loser's bracket. After an inspiring talk by Coach Kurth, we worked our way through the loser's bracket back into the winners, by defeating Lima South, Shawnee, Lafayette, Ilola, Piqua, and Coldwater. Because this was Coldwater's first loss we were forced to play them a second set, and came out on the small end 11 to 15, and 123 to 15. We are very proud to have Robert and Willard Miller placed on the all tournament team and selected as the best set-up pair. Here's three cheers to this year's team and best wishes to the team of '36.

In the fall of '34 Coach Kurth called for tryouts, and about 35 boys reported for practice. Out of this list Mr. Kurth chose a strong team and several good substitutes. Our Hrst game was with the strong Alumni team which we defeated 8 to 3. After two weeks' practice we left for Lafayette, determined to win. It was a good game and all the boys played their best. We returned home with the larger end of a score of 5 to 2. The next week we had a return game with Lafayette on the home diamond. We were just as determined to defeat them as before and did so, to the tune of 10 to 2. Again this spring about 30 boys reported for practice. A squad has been chosen and is working hard for the spring season. With Willard Miller, captain and also holding down third base, and a pitching staff of one right hander and three 'south paws , we are looking forward to bringing home the league cup. The following games are to be played this spring: April Beaverdam at Spencerville. April Spencerville at Shawnee. April Bluffton at Spencerville. Played in Lima. April Spencerville at Elida. April Harrod at Spencerville. May -Lafayette at Spencerville. May -Spencerville at Gomer. Page thirty-three INTRAMURAL TOURNAMENT Intramural Teams SENIOR GIRLS QChampionsJ First row-H. Rider, L.

The cafeteria was decorated in the school colors, purple and gold. Each player received a miniature basketball as a favor. After a delicious three-course dinner was served, Mr. C. W. McCleary related to the guests some of his former experiences. Following this was the election of captains and managers for the '35-'36 season. Then Mary Doughty, the captain of the 1935 team, gave a short address followed by a response from Ruth Hayes, the new captain. The boys' captain, Carl McMichael, expressed his best wishes for the teams of '36. This was followed by a response from the newly elected boys' captain, Dean Deniston. The coaches announced to whom the letters would be awarded. The main address of the evening was given by Mr. Harris Lamb, Whose fine address on sportsmanship will be remembered by all who attended the banquet. J unior-Senior Prom The Junior-Senior Prom was held in the High School Auditorium on Thursday evening, April 18, 1935. The auditorium was beautifully decorated to represent a Dutch Garden. At each end of the floor was a huge windmill in blue and white, the class colors. Inside the white fence, which surrounded the room, were long tables placed in the shape of sails. Each place was marked by a tiny blue and White wind- mill and a nut cup in the form of a tulip. Each senior received a white carnation his class flower.
