Signed and sealed this fourteenth day of May in this year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-one. In witness whereof our names and seal are hereby attached: 5 I I I I Claire Kellogg Marion Bulow Catherine Zeier SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1927, the present senior class entered high school. We were taught all the things needful for freshmen to know. and some otherslj By October of that year we were deemed capable of electing officers, and selected the following people: Dorothy Anderson, president, Harry Seanor, vice-president, Iola Berndt, secretary, and Sterling Naill, treasurer. Even as freshmen, we took part in a large number of school activities and so were particularly well-equipped to become sophomores. The officers of the class during the sophomore year were: Allan Bunker, presidentg Marvin Fish, vice-president, Sterling Naill, treasurerg and Paul Mefferd, secretary. Dur- ing this year, we had the opportunity of teaching the class of '32 what the class of '30 had taught us by initiation. Also during this year, we presented an assembly program, produced some first place speakers, and edited an issue of the We-Go. When we became juniors, we again elected members of the male sex to conduct class affairs. Marvin Fish was elected president, Kenneth Curran, vice-president, Ed- ward Fairbank, secretary, and Thomas Lynch, treasurer. This year was marked by much participation in athletics, oratory, and other extra-curricular activities. When jun- ior play time came, we inaugurated a new idea by putting on three one act plays instead of one three act play. The plays presented were: The Boy Comes Home, Grandma Pulls a String, and The Valiant. The final event of our third year was the junior-senior pro- menade. For the first time, it was held out of town,-at the St. Charles Country Club. September, 1930 began what has been the biggest and best year of high school- our senior year. Again it was decided that girls were too weak to hold office and thus the boys manfully took up the burden. Edward Fairbank was president, Sterling Naill, vice-president, Ernest Benson, secretary, and Marvin Fish, treasurer. Among the things accomplished during our last year were a reception for the fresh- man girls, a return tea for the juniors and faculty, participation by many boys and girls in athletics, public speaking, and club work. Most of the organizations were headed by seniors as presidents or captains. The senior play was presented on class night and was the three act play, Mr. Pim Passes By. The final thing for which our class considers itself outstanding is the fact that it is the largest class to be graduated from West Chicago Community High School-forty- seven members! VVe believe that much of our happiness in high school has been due to the advice of Miss Koupal who has been our class sponsor for the past two years. ll
