SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1931 began its career in the United Township High School in the fall of 1927. The officers chosen were Robert Smith, president; Charles Filbert, vice president, and Hilda Wright, secretary and treasurer. Sponsors of the class were Mr. Hainline and Miss Washburn. During this year members of the class participated in the glee club, band and orchestra. The boys’ interclass basketball tournament was won by the Freshmen. In addition to these activities several social gatherings were held. During the Sophomore year Miss Eckerman and Mr. Rozeboom proved to be excellent sponsors. Bud Bisher, Charles Filbert and Helene Gaumer served as officers of the class. The members of the class continued their fine work in the music and literary departments, aiding materially in the production of the operetta, “Miss Cherry Blossom.” The most outstanding event of the year was the party, at which the Sophs entertained the Freshies. The boys were again victorious in the interclass tourney. In the Junior year, the class of ’31 extended its activities into every field under the able direction of Miss Calvert and Mr. McCreight as sponsors, and Ramona Allen, Donald Smith and Charles Filbert as class officers. Juniors were prominent on the football squad, the basketball squad, and in track. They were also taking their responsibilties in music, literary and commercial activities. The Big Nine representatives for boys’ and girls’ declamation, and for extempo were Juniors. The class was also represented on the debate teams, and in shorthand contests. The Junior play, “The Goose Hangs High,” was a huge success. Two members of the class placed in the Edison Essay Contest. The leading social event was the elaborate Junior-Senior banquet held at the Fort Armstrong Hotel. The Senior year of the class of ’31 was the greatest of the four years. All the members of the debate teams were Seniors. Winners of the first three places in the declamatory contests and the boys competing in the oratorical contests were from this class. In football, eleven Seniors earned letters, and three Seniors served as regulars on the basketball team. “The Key,” the school paper, and the “1931 Skyline” were made possible by the Senior class, with noble aid from the class of ’32. “The House of a Thousand Thrills,” the Senior play, was very successful. The class of ’31 was again active in music, helping to present the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover.” This year’s graduation class was sponsored by Miss Eckerman and Mr. Stevens. The class officers were Charles Filbert, Catharine Gainey and Donald Smith. Fifteen
