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.

KENNETH VAN KAMPEN- Van has many good ideas, but he runs on one track when it comes to his hobbies, vocations, and am- bitions. He draws, has chosen the career of draftsman, and would like to be a successful architect. TERESA WASHENBERGER- Tudy methodically plans to be- come a nurse on board a ship. Skating and dancing increase her endurance: Girl Reserves, her adaptability: Science club, her in- formational backgroundg Library staff, her skill in selecting her patients' books. WALTER WEGMAN--From Thespian plays to big time acting is Bud's idea of success: yet there may come a time when he'll be known as a great criminologist. His chief delight is pestering people. BEATRICE WELTER--Looking for Bee ? You'll find her over there, buried in a book. She'll be the kind of nurse who'll make you want to stay ill just a wee bit longer to enjoy her care. IOSEPH WELTER-To the Camera club and Surveyor staff, Ioe silently renders his services. He collects stamps from the four corners of the globe-hence his desire to see these distant parts. STANLEY WILSON- Bud hopes to graduate from a crack runner and bicycle rider to a railway mail clerk. Tirxkering with radios is an outlet for his curiosity. Assisting the All School Coun- cil satisfies the curiosity of others. EDWIN WINTER-If Ed ever crashes in the plane he's going to pilot, there'll be a quick repair job because he'll be a mechanic too. Don't forget his ability in football, swimming, band, and Student Council. HERBERT WINTER- To get there is the vocation of Winner. When he arrives, he will aspire to be like Sir Malcolm Campbell: while on the way there, he warbles with Washington songsters. MARGARET WISDORF- Marge is a sports star-belonging to G. A. A. and W club. Council, lr.-Sr. Sisters, Art and Travel club also claim her membership. To be a teacher of tap dancing is her ambition.

He's still debating his future. ROY ZALESKY--Football, golf, and track occupy this breezy lad's time, when he's not collecting pictures of fighters. Roy aims to fly high in the service of Uncle Sam's army when he graduates from college. GEORGE ZALTZ- Toughy, nothing daunted by his stature, begins at the top-managing football, track, and basketball teams. After working out in the Council and Science club, this would-be civil engineer relaxes by strumming his mandolin. BETTY ZANDELL-Versatile Bee, lr.-Sr. Sisters' president, G. A. A., Surveyor and Annual staff member, dreams of becoming a second Eleanor Powell and collecting more scrapbooks. She plans to earn her salary as a laboratory technician. Page 27
