POTTAWAM Senior Class History At last we are seniors. After four years we have reached the height of our high school career and soon we are to launch our ships upon a new ocean of life. To come of us this will be a great task but to others it will only be the beginning of a very colorful career in our own respective fields. During the past three years we have built many dreams of our senior year. Some of them have come true while others have turned out to be just air castles. When we leave this building for the last time as students of Tekonsha High School we will take with us many memories of our school days. No one will ever be able to take those from us. Since we began as a class of twenty seven in nineteen hundred thirty-four some of our group have dropped out but others have taken their places. That year Fred Millard was elected president, Ray Shedd, vice president and Howard Main, secretary and treasurer. We were formally initiated into the school as brechmen at a banquet given in our honor by the Sophomore class. This proved to be a very entertaining affair. As sophomores our number had decreased until only twenty four remained. Lloyd Jenkins acted as our president during the sophomore year. John Denbrock was elected vice-president and Harold Vincent was elected secretary and treasurer. Later, after Harold left school, Della Dean took over his duties. The main social event of our sophomore year was the Freshman-Sophomore party which we paid tribute to the Freshmen as it had been paid to us the year before. When we reached our Junior year we were just one step from our goal. We all worked hard in order that we could reach the top. Ray Shedd prov- , 21

POTTAWAM ed to be a very good president and guided us through our many disputes. The other officers were Boyd Blashfield, vice-president, Virginia Walter, secretary, and Hazel Greenawalt treasurer. The first big event of that year was the purchase of our Junior rings. We purchased these on November fifteenth, nineteen thirty-six. We were all well satisfied with them when they arrived. The Junior Play, “The Red'Headed Stepchild,” was the second big event. We all worked hard to put on a good performance and when it was all over we felt that we had done so. The third great event of the year and the first social affair was the Junior and Senior Prom. This was held May twenty-eighth, at the Lyon Lake Country Club. The Juniors gave a banquet in honor of the Seniors who were graduating. Dancing was the main entertainment of the evening. And now comes the most colorful year of all— our Senior year. At the first class meeting Carol Culver was elected president, Virginia Walter was chosen vice-president and Howard Main, secretary and treasurer. This year has been completely filled with important events. On October sixth, our Senior pictures were taken. Everyone was well pleased with the results. Our Senior Play, “Crashing Society” proved to be a huge success. This was presented on October twenty-ninth. We netted about thirty-five dollars. This was to be used for our Skip Day. We had a class meeting March sixteenth, at which we decided our class colors, motto and flower as follows; royal blue and gold as our class colors, yellow rose as our class flower and “He conquers who endures” as our class motto. At the same meeting we picked out our diplomas. They are royal blue smooth leather trimmed in gold. We all will be pleased when we receive them on our graduation night. 22
