I-IE 1942 GRADUATE! SENIOR CLASS OFFIC ERS Left to right: John S. Harris, Treasurer, Sophie Shurmatz, Secretary, Robert Cor- coran, Vice President, Elaine Mclndoe, Ass't. Treasurer: James Jenets, President Senior C lass H istory When Guppy heard that he was to write the Senior Class History for the Reflector , he became panic stricken. His memory had never been any- thing to brag about, but now it was a complete blank. However, after giving his fellow Seniors the third degree, he recalled a few of the outstand- ing events of his high school life. For instance, he remembered the important feeling he had when Mr. Legory dismissed the Seniors from the chapel exercises before the others, at the beginning of his Senior year. The under- classmen seemed quite small and insignificant that day. Then, there was the day that jimmy jenets, who is everybody's pal, was voted Presi- dent of the Senior class. Bob Corcoran went along as Vice President just for the ride, and Sophie Shurmatz and john Harris were Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Elaine Mclndoe acted as assistant treasurer. Gallopin' Ghosts , the Senior class play, couldn't have been anything but a success with jane Feigert's contribution as Righty Marie . Guppy recalled, with pleasure, the operetta, Crocodile Island , in which Betty Brezovic and Bill Fleming played the leading roles. And of course, he couldn't forget the day that the Commercial Law Class toured Greensburg. Guppy remembered the fun everyone had trying to decide who our May Queen should be, and how thrilled he was when he learned that Betty Harris had been chosen. Her Senior attendants were Betty Zeravica and Dorothy Dubrave. Probing into his memory a little farther, Guppy could see, once more, the look of complete disgust I1 on the faces of the Junior girls during the pre' ceding year when they discovered that every office was held by a boy. Teddy Federonko was the President, Max Dorosa was Vice President until he was promoted and Tony Folino acted as Secretary-Treasurer for the duration. Guppy recalled the line performance given by Edward Josephic as Vaslav in the operetta, The Forest Prince . The junior Class was given the privilege of presenting as its class play It's A Long Lane , by John Hershey. The May Queen attendants were Elaine Mclndoe and Betty Zeravica. Guppy can still imagine himself in a Chinese garden when he thinks of the prom. During the Sophomore year, Leila Baker dis- tinguished herself by winning a place in the Forensic League contest for the county, as a pianist. Guppy remembered the May Queen procession in which Anna Radosh, and Catherine Wandless proudly represented the Sophomore Class. Elaine Mclndoe shouldered her responsibilities as President of the class, while John Bucar carried out his duties as Vice President, and Helen Zigarovich took notes and money as a good Secretary-Treasurer should. Guppy smiled to himself as he thought of the Freshman dance, with everyone jumping around on one foot and thinking he was doing the shag. When the time arrived for the election of officers, Sophie Shurmatz was selected at Presidentg George Bartakovich as Vice President, and Catherine Wandless as Secretary-Treasurer. After Guppy had finished reviewing his high school days he muttered quietly to himself, Those were the good old days . The Reflector
