VIOLET ANDERSON-Quiet but C brilliantl shy but friendly, Violet did all she attempted well. There wasn't an alge- bra problem that could stump her. HARLES ANDRASEN-Charles was the trumpet-tooting troubadour who played an extremely important part at all the mixers. JANE ALLARD-- Ianie's senior year at West can be scanned in three short strokes: An- nual office . . . Madison convention . . . De lVIolay. FRED AhIEREI.L - Freddie spent long and happy hours serving soup in the Cafeteria. He certainly looked hand- some in his crisp white uni- form. JEAN ANDERSON-Jean cer- tainly knew his figures -we mean math - but Trig al- most proved his Waterloo. GLADYS ANDREE - Gladys was a member of the salesman- ship classes. We often bought tickets for school functions when We could buy them from her. JOHN ANDRES-John was mon- itor of row 3 in the main. We always wondered just why his row was always al- most completely filled with girls. e JEANNETTE ALLlNTAN-JCHIP nette was the athletic chorus girl in Merrill's Green Hat lVIystery. Look out, Broad- way, here she comes! NANCY ANACKER - This pret- ty dark secretary of the June class was active in many ways, and can remember hap- py hours spent in prepara- tion for Merrill's senior stunt. MARY ANDERSON - Latin club and Merrill filled all of Mary's days. She was mon- itor in the main, and as such, merits a great deal of praise. CHARLES ANDREWS - He was the tall, handsome lad who managed! to liven up his Eng- lish classes with vigorous, but unprejudiced, argument. JEROME ARONSON-D0 you know how Jerome developed his vocabulary? Simple - he loved to use the dictionary - to sit on when he typed Comet articles. lSl

L une Class ln February, the graduating class of 1935 elected Thomas Wildrick,i president, Kenneth Stoper, vice-president, Nancy Anacker, secre- The June class triumphantly presented Tommy, this year's senior play, it was highly successful and very well liked by the student body. The class will be remembered for its high VVebber, sergeant-at-arms. This class will be remembered for two things: good politics, effi- ciently handled by some of our better known experts on political chicanery, and caps and gowns. The battle over caps and gowns was a vigoro'us one, to say the least. Since the students were not allowed to discuss the sub- ject in the class meeting, personal lobbying, with charges and counter-charges, libels and angry assertions, held the stage. When all the shooting was over, however, it was discovered that caps and gowns had won by a large majority. The class committees, appointed by the presi- dent, were able and quietly efficient. They did their work quickly, putting forth their best efforts. Under their direction, the gradu- ation was successfully planned and managed. The officers worked wisely and well, thus confirming the intelligence of the class that elected them. The social committee, headed by Dorothy Dona' vin, managed the social affairs exceedingly well. Under this group's direction, the class cele- brated its graduation with all due gusto. scholarship. This year, Aaron Sweed won high honors. Aaron should be congratulated par- ticularly for this accomplishment, because he was not only excellent scholastically, but also active in many of West's organizations. The same can be said of the others who won honors this year. This was the first class in which the Na- tional Honor society members were selected by a definite system instead of by a vote of the faculty. The class seemed very well pleased both with the new methods and with the results obtained. About June first, the seniors began to think seriously of graduation. Reviews began with little studying being done by the graduates. Clothes were purchased, caps and gowns fitted, Annuals distributed, programs and tickets sent out, then exams . . . On June twenty-first, be- fore beaming parents and proud relatives, the long line of graduates filed in. After the pro- cession, the honors were read, and, as each student filed across the stage, he received the diploma which signified a suc:essful comple- tion of his high school career.
