SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was a sunshiny September day in l9hl when, eighty strong, we caught our first glimpse of the Uparlorn and, like the classical fly, soon found ourselves entangled in the web of school life. Norman Stanley, Joan Butterworth, and Jim Power, with the aid of Mrs. Garvin and Mr. Ostrom, guided us in our first feeble flights. Our buzzing was soon heard on the athletic field, in G. A. A., the Pep Band, and Debate. We began our sophomore year by electing Bob Nordby as commander-in-chief. - A sophomore line dance, The Hop Scotch Polka, was one of the hit numbers of that years Polka Dot Revue. Nancy Blair, Clara Jo Williams, aid Jim Power brought us further fame when they were elected school yell leaders. Bob Brenno, Bob Nordby, Wayne House, and Alex Kusulos also earned their letters on the gridiron that year. At last came the day when we could proclaim to the whole world that we were privleged upper classmen. Billie Wilber led'our swarm this year. NBerkley Squaren, a drama of the 18th century, was the title of our junior play. The cast readily came to the con- clusion that eloquent bowing and flirting fans were not as easy to master as they appeared. The mysticism of the Orient was felt by all those who attended our prom, WNight in Shanghai.W Ah--seniors! And our last and busiest year began. We were well represented with senior members in Honor Society. That our class was not without beauty as well as brains was proven when lovely Patricia Kennett was elected to reign as Queen of the Homecoming. Once again there was a play and a formal dance to plan and present. There were football and basketball games, Friday night mixers, the semi-tolo, Polka Dot Revue, and, finally, climaxing them all, graduation. Fbur years ago we became entangled in the web. Now we are leaving it with the sincere hope that the :nowledge of books and people we have gleaned here will speed us on to a successful future. 1 4 1 1 1 1 ? I 1 3 1 .J
