FRANK SPOHRER Vice Prendent A man s reach should exceed his grasp; else whit’s a heaven for? ' For twelve years or moret the class that is now to be graduated has been ever reaching higher towards the summit of achievement and success. The climb has been long and in some places we were tempted to give up; but now, at the peak of our triumph in school, we, the great and near-great, are proud and happy for all our strivings. Nevertheless, this is only one high place in the hill of life; we are bound to experience a temporary drop at our graduation before we start our upward way once more. Wc are high enough, though, to turn to view the ground over which wc have come— and to see the juniors toiling up the same hill not far behind us. We can see also the obstacles which have built our characters, the pleasures which have made us eager to reach the top, the encouragements which have been offered us by our teachers and friends. Although after our graduation, most of us will split and go our own ways, now we are a group which has grown up together, worked together, and played together. To achieve this unity we had need of the capable leaders with whom we have always been blessed since our first year in high school. Efficient and thoroughly likeable, our class officers for this year are as follows; Bob Spengler, president; Frank Spohrer, vice-president: Frank Chamberlin, treasurer; and Pat Clutts, secretary. Bob, whose personality has won him friends all over West Orange High, was a natural choice for president, especially since he is an active participant in many of our activities and really knows what is going on around school. Frank Spohrer is as capable in his executive office as he is on the foorball field; we feel that our choice of vice-president was a good one. FRANK CHAMBERLIN T reds am PAT CLUTTS Secretary I remember Frank Chamberlin's ability from ’way back when wc were sophomores in plane geometry. He was the obvious answer to our need of a good treasurer this year. Pat is a well-known, well-liked girl in school and a secretary as attractive as she is capable. Who knows to what heights we shall yet reach? There will be no limit if our aspirations continue to point skyward. Page 27
