Arlene Stewart (Helen Hamilton) Yes, said Arlene when the ;enorter asked her how it felt to be a senior. It seems swell to be a senior, but it makes me feel sad to think my school days are over. 'Then asked about her activ- ities during her four years of high school she hesitated and then replied with a smile, Oh a few of them were: playing on the basket ball team and serv- ing on various committees. I was a AH member, assistant ad- vertising manager of the year book. Arlene recalled that Helen and she had served cocoa and doughnuts at ball games. Oh! what fun we had, though some of it was a military sec- ret! This interviewer followed her about her boudoir and ask- ed her this question. What she expected to do after being graduated? Well, as my plans arc rather indefinite I cannot sa.y for sure but I think I’ll go to Florida and take up ra- dio work. year. The P, T.

On the average the food was not bad. At first it was fun, but after the third week, boy, did we ever get sick of +hir! It was a dreadful bother. No, peeling potatoes for a mill a day was not so much fun as we thought at first. We were ve- ry glad when the last week of our work came.

 Verna Kings ton (Ardis Wicks) Oh, boy, said Verna when asked how it seemed to be a senior, I would not miss it for anything;it's a swell year and a busy one. ’Then asked what her class activities had been, she replied, Cheerlead- er; class officer during first three years; treasurer of the Senior Class;co-cancy manager; editor of the PACEMAKER;treas- urer of Athletic Council, for freshman year; president of Athletic Council, senior year'.' Then she continued, I sang in glee club; played the part of Mrs. Hudson in the senior play and was chosen by the class and teachers to write the es- say for D. A. R. and I an the Valedictorian. Verna said that ten years fron now according to the law of averages, she’d be married. But between now and then she would like to work either for the telephone company or in a newspaper office pounding a typewriter. The high light of the year that Verna recalled was the senior play. I remember the difficulties that Mrs. Keeler had when the parts weren't learned, and when the refresh- ments were missing; how Philip hated to .acquire gn.y hair by the use of powder puff! I re- c .11 ho tine when Lyle and I weye on the stage, talking to Raymond who was still behind the curtain and the improvis- ing we did; the time the furn- iture arrived; (it was later given to the school as a tok- en of appreciation). I also recall the surprise of the class when we learned, that a profit of $63 had been made! ’Then asked what she would like to will to the pupils of the Theresa High School she said: My figure in slacks and sweater to Geraldine Vfalsh; rry long distance telephone call to Eleanor Vock; an imitation of my fraternity pin to Flor- ence Shannon; my long finger nails to Barbara Griffin; my typing tactics to Raymond Bar- tlett and Glen Decker; my ac- robatics to 3har3.es Stewart. Yes, I've certainly enjoyed my senior yc ir!
