Senior class officers: Bernard Tschida, president: Alan Obst, vice presidentp Mae Gibbons, secretary, and Dorothy Klein, treasurer. Senior Class History EETING our adviser, Mrs. Emma Sanders, for the first time as an organized group in the fall of 1933, we promptly set about choosing student directors to serve during our sophomore year. As an impetus to our future undertakings, Ber- nard Tschida was elected president: Lorayne Sweeney, vice president: Rose Weiss, secretary, and Melvin Peterson, treasurer. The social event of our first year was the get-acquainted party given in the gym on April 6 which helped us know our brother classmates and incidentally start a class fund. One of our members with a yen for studying brought our class a step up the ladder of prominence by being awarded the All-School scholarship cup during her sophomore year. Her name engraved on the cup, is Edna Posteher. As the result of a year's unifying experiences, we' entered our junior year working more like a well-functioning organization. The first of a series of out- standing events 1n our junior year was the election of Bernard Tschida as pres- ident for his second consecutive year with diminutive Alan Obst as vice president an-d Mae Gibbons and Melvin Peterson secretary and treasurer respectively. Twelve formed the group in charge of our initial sunlite given December l4, 1934. March 1 and April 26 were dates on which other sunlites were given. We were responsible for the presentation of the ultra-important social event of the school year, the Iunior-Senior Prom. Work was started early in April, and Iames Staudenmaier, chairman, and a corps of assistants were rewarded by the happiness of nearly one hundred couples who danced the night of May 17 to the music of Merlin Green's orchestra midst the oriental setting. Dorothy Klein brought the last honor to us as the Iunior class by keeping the All-School Scholarship cup in our possession. For the third consecutive year we placed faith in Bernard Tschida's executive ability by electing him Senior class president. Other elected officers were Alan Obst, vice president, Mae Gibbons, secretary, and Dorothy Klein, treasurer. Sunlites sponsored by the class added to the fun life of this final year. Prominent seniors formed most of the cast for Streets of New York judged the best dramatic performance ever staged by the Thespians. The play was successful as a melodrama and from a financial viewpoint. Although it entailed the expenditure of a large amount of money, time, and effort on the part of the annual staff, this book is tangible proof of our largest enterprise. In retrospect we note that Charles Kreyer was acclaimed the best football man in the city last fall. Athletes from this year's class who also have helped place Washington above the average in the field of sports are: Victor Calloway, Kenneth Anderson, William Thorsen, Drexel Pugh, Richard Radman, Paul Selbin, Alex Hildebrant, Kenneth Gondek, Ray Schaaf, Alfred Denisson, Lawrence Olsen, Harry Chapple, and Edna Schwartz.
