Senior Class History CLASS OFFICERS l3residentfEugene Peduzzi Vice President-Edward Ryan Secretary-Antoinette Gunia Treasurer-john McLachlan lt was on September 3, 1935, when we first trudged up three flights of stairs to the third floor of the High School building. One hundred and twenty wide- eyed, half scared boys and girls filled our ranks. ln a few weeks the novelty wore off, and we buckled down to further our education. After a genuine bawling out by the seniors we elected our class officers. The freshmen showed their mettle in downing the sophomores in an intramural football game. Shortly after this victory we had our first party at which many C71 enjoyed himself dancing. At last the long awaited day came, and we were graduated to the sophomore class. After a three month vacation we again hit the trail to education. Many of our number, now accustomed to high school life, began to display their talents. At the mid-term we regretted very much to see our Latin teacher, Miss Haddock, leaving us. The term ended with the annual Kennywood Picnic. On August 31, 1938, the school bell was heard again. We were very much disappointed to see that Mr. Wieland was not to be with us. The style of dress and dancing at the class parties took a drastic change. We discovered some won- derful talent in our class in the dark face comedy, Dixie and the operetta, The Mikado. The time for work on the prom crept around, and Mr. Kelly and lvlr, Schrock with the support of the class put it over with huge success. Seemingly out of nowhere popped up our last and final year. Before we had time C75 to completely settle down we had selected our graduation announce- ments. Did this mean lack of work and study? Well, to the students, yes-but on the other hand the teachers did not seem to think so as we saw when report cards arrived. Well, this meant business and we did settle down fOr a few weeks but soon the Senior Class plays overthrew the studiousness and WC UCVCF did fully recover. The largest undertaking of the year was the RefleC!0ft The C001- mittee C771 after many tiresome and painful hours of work has PUC OUC 3 100014 which we believe is the best in the history of the school. We had our election of May Queen, and Elizabeth l Godich was victorious with Emma ,lean Beswick and Pearl Atwood as attendants. We are now ready to be graduated with all the usual ceremonies. We may be leaving in body, but our mem- ories will often stray back to think of the wonderful times we had together in T.l-l.S.
