ROGERS BUTTON VETTER RYAN SENIOR HISTORY Dear Jerry: Graduation next week. I’m not in a mood for letter- ing. And so many affairs lately! But it has been fun. I remember when we were Sophs—the year Rud was student body president—what a clever hop we had. And Bill Hendry was our president that year, wasn’t he? And Lloyd Wynans, vice president; Marge Osier, secretary; and Ray Nei-nast, board of control. They told us we were the noisest class in school — what class meetings we had! That year we gave a one-act play instead of the annual assembly, because Mr. Bartine, our adviser, was ill at the time. Miss Appy coached the play. Isn’t it pleasant to recall all those incidents? And wasn’t our junior assembly a success? And the Junior-Senior formal! Richard Forbes was our president then, and worked pretty hard to put it over, with the other officers, of course—Marge Osier, vice-president; Pauline Huttula, secretary; Joe Ryan, treasurer; and Lloyd Wynans, board of control. Miss Rohrer was our adviser, succeeded by Mr. Hill at mid-year. But this year! Immediately I visualize (big words—class!) the Hi D play, Hi Jinx, senior mixer, Junior-Senior Snowball, announcement order, and many, many other epic moments. Don Rogers as president gave us really good meetings, assisted by Elmer Button, vice-president; Margaret Vetter, secretary; and Joe Ryan, treasurer. Ray Neinast was on the board of control. Joe was left holding the sack more or less, when our class funds went with the bank. It made the financing of the Quin-ault pretty hard, but we managed. Miss Pangborn was adviser. Our senior assembly, class night, and the last dances were so much fun—and ended so very quickly. And now baccalaureate is over and 1 feel grown up and I don’t want to. The responsibility mapped out for us is a little unexpected. Four years of work seem a lot for a diploma and a cap and gown, but it’s over with suddenly. [ Twelve ]
