They have headed the senior executive council which plan- ned the skit presented at the All School Party, and also decorated a window at Homecoming. ' of 194.2 The seniors of 1942 have indeed made progress in many fields of endeavor. Band, chorus, and orchestra have been composed for the past three years of members from this class. The Tech has completed another successful year of publication under the guidance of this class. They have composed this Techoesg they have headed our ath- letic teams, and they were the foundation of the National Honor Society. Three years ago a new group of students entered Tech feeling very green. They chose as their officers for their first year in high school: Jack Sartell, president 5 Gary Davidson, vice president, Gayle Nelson, secretaryg and Keith Maurer, treasurer. During the year, they gradually entered into more activities. As their sophomore class play, the Thespians presented 'Op O' Me Thumb . In the Homecoming pa- rade that year the class entered a Hoat. The next year, this class returned feeling quite a bit more confident. Again Jack Sartell was chosen as president, while other officers elected were: Peggy Jo Guy, vice presidentg Gayle Nelson, secretaryg and Leona Almer, treasurer. The Junior Ball was sponsored successfully by the class that year, and they also had a fioat in the Homecoming parade. American Passport was the class play. Two members of the class, Ted McKibben and Ernest Porupsky were chairmen of the All School Party. Returning last fall, the group was now known as seniors. This year they had the annual Senior Party and the skit which they presented at the All School Party won the prize. Two seniors, Conrad Stockinger and Clinton Baker, headed the football squad which won the Central Eight Conference title, and Russell Hadden piloted the basket- ball team, which won the district championship. The achievements made by this class will long be remembered by the succeeding generations that will come to carry on the traditions that have been made. fficwd- Page I9
