 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, ths Freshmen in 1934, entered the Theresa High School prepared f or new vvjrk,new interests, nev friends. We were very timid and bashful in our Freshaan year. We elected our class officers and chase the class colors, motto, and flower. Gladys Gilman v as elected president and Hilda Neuroth v as the Secretary- Treasurer. Green anu white were chosen as the class colors, the red rose as the class flower and Veni, Vidi, Vici as the class motto. During this year we gave money taward the cur- tain that was purchased by the scha 1 far the tewn hall. In our Sophomore year we had grown more courageous and ready ta have fun. Gladys Gilman was again elected president and Minnie Tawsley was the Secretary-Treasurer. This year v e held a successful party in the high schaal rooms. Our Junior year was similar to the first year with no activities. Our president was Lloyd Bartlett and Secretary-Treasurer was Ariel Wicks. The money we had in the treasury v as spent an a cup far scholastic ability. Now in our Senior year, Ruth Van Duzer was elected president and Francis Leesan, Secretary-Treasurer. This year many activi- ties were planned, but due to a fatal accident which took the life of a beljved student, Bernard Swanson, these have been cancelled. The Class does, however, intend to have its dance, and use what money it has earned up to now tav ard graduation expenses. Thus, the Class of 1937 will cl- se with sincere regret that high school days are finished.
