Miss Leola Strickler Fourteen SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HE class of 1935 was organized in October of the year 1932 at a hilarious meeting in room 301. Under the advisership of Miss Leola Strickler, an election of officers was finally held, and when the ballots were cast and counted, Helen Capeti was given the presidential seat. The offices of vice president, secretary, treasurer, and assistant treasurer were filled by Roy Beaudet, Edward Cook, Dorothy 3 Miller, and Lorraine Bunde, respectively. In order to arouse a cooperative and active spirit among the members of our embryo class they planned a picnic, which was later held at the St. Paul Water Works. Soon came '33. How different from the preceding year! We are juniors now, we proudly boasted. Actually we were bigger boys and more mature girls. Two boys, Arnold Linder and John Bloemendal, served as president and vice president. Dolores Keis and Marie Welsch assumed the duties of secretary and treasurer. Our junior year was crowded with gay and exciting festivities. .We will always re- member the great time we had dancing with our arms full of balloons at one of our sunlites. In December we had a delightful party in the school gym, where we forgot our fshall we sayl artificial dignity and frolicked and danced. Hardly had-the din of that party subsided, when Lorraine Bunde and Helen Capeti were busily planning another. It was held some time later in the music room, where table tennis and games were played. Dancing and refreshments concluded the program. The days flitted by rapidly, and before we knew it, the Prom was on everyone's mind. To insure its success, we appointed Walton Roebuck, one of our most capable students, as general chairman, and John Schreier,afinished financier, as business manager. A Hawaiian setting was selected, and the spring months found the whole class gayly engaged in the many tasks which a promenade entails. But we had fun in doing it. None too soon came the grand climax, the night of our Prom, on the evening of May 18. It was gorgeous. If ever there was a perfect reward for effort, it was our Prom. Our big job in 1934-35, as seniors, was to edit this annual, and in order to get the proper spirit and cooperation necessary to publish it, we elected as president efficient John Bloemendal, vice president of the class of the preceding year. To assist him Virginia Anderson was chosen as vice president, Marie Welsch, secretary, and Marshall Anderson, treasurer. We certainly will never forget the interesting meetings that were held under their guidance. It was in 303, Miss Strickler's room, that most of their dues-getting schemes found their forigin. But besides the exacting work on the annual, we had our festive moments too. Re- member how good Santa and his wonder horse were to us at the Christmas party? The numerous sunlites in the gym after school hours will never be forgotten by those of us who liked to dance. Now, as we dry our eyes and fidget with our hankies, we want to extend our best wishes to the coming senior classes and hope that their high school days will be as interesting as ours have been.

Sixteen ELLA AKESON Sunny, true to her nickname, always brings sunshine into someone's day. Blonde and jolly, she radiates happiness. No one will forget her, even tho' some prince of Sweden should make her the mistress of his castle. VERNON ANGLE Don't be dauntled by the taciturn exterior. Silent Red proves really an interest- ing, gay sort of person. He prefers hunting and fishing as hobbies, and who are we to challenge his taste? FLOYD ANDERSON Gull never was much good at Whan that Aprille---, but he certainly showed his wares as a member of WashingtOn's softball team. His fine work at first base earned him a W in that sport. MARSHALL ANDERSON Marsh has shown leadership ability during his years at our school. His Hi-Y work and its social activities have bound his friendships more closely. His ambition begins with the University, he doesn't know where it will end. VIRGINIA ANDERSON Blonde, sweet Ninna is as nice a Big Sister as anyone ever had. Her amiable discharge of Council duties has netted her many friends. She has been part of most social activities, has even graced our stage. ALTA AUSTIN Finally a girl who IS her nickname-- Tiny , But small of stature, great in deed. She was Surveyor editor, Big CD Sister, Annual staff member. She hopes to rise in the world--not in importance--just ,in height. JEROME AVERBACI-I Although holding the national title for independability in spelling, Jerry has proved that we may aways count on him for a laugh. He divides h'is leisure among tennis, dancing, and relating the merits of the home product . LORRAINE BAHR Without even shutting our eyes, we can see Lorraine's fresh face under a white starched cap and her efficient, gentle-mannered self in the appropriate uniform. Girl Reserve, Council, and Big Sisters have offered her expression here. ROY BEAUDET Not too tall, not too short, Roy is a sports enthusiast, and has proved a creditable performer on football and basketball squads. Hi-Y, Student Council, and Science Club were his centers of interest. FLORENCE BECK A thoroughly friendly person is Beck, She has been a faithful member of G.A.A. where she majored in basketball, which is also her favorite recreation. She aims to become a neat, efficient secretary--perhaps to the President. DONALD BJORKLUND Doc is a bear for punishment: his hobby is keepin' company, his ambition nev- er to fall in love. Among his activities he lists orchestra, Student Council, Science Club, and swimming. Favorite recreation--school work!--lsee first sentencelj J OI-IN BLOEMENDAL Long, broad, brown-eyed, Joe is president of our class. He has been a tower of strength in all activities, including the job of photography. Science is his hobby. Who wOuldn't look pleasant at his gentle exhortation? JOSEPH BRISKEN Judged by his favorite Occupation here, Joe rates as a live-wire. Backstage he has charge of lights, elsewhere too he plays with electricity. Even in class he throws off occasional sparks. We'll expect a meteoric career. GEORGE BUMP Curly hair, laughing eyes, and shining teeth! We give you George! His immediate interest is machinery, though he spends a lot of time dancing. If our guess is right, smiling George will forget machinery but not dancing. LORRAINE BUNDE They call her Babe, but what a misnomerl She can act, and dance, and has made a success of editing the annual and acting as vice president of Dramatic Club. Grown up, really, eh, what? RAY BUNDE Did you ever see a dream walking? ---Well, Ray's one. Maybe he's just think- ing of how he can break 80, or how to increase his batting average, but we think maybe he's being bashful, or tantalizingly aloof. HELEN CAPETI G. A. A. president, Big Sister, Glee Club member, Girl Reserve, and a swell per- son. Besides, she has dark eyes and a lovely smile. She is interested in basketball, likes to dance--and does them both well. DEAN CARLSON His hobby, amateur radio operating, serves as a background to success in his big ambition, that of becoming a radio engineer. Dean being so VERY ambitious, we expect he will succeed. I-le ,is also an energetic swimmer.
