Senior Glass Siistory 7 HE present Senior class entered the Westville High School in September, 1924. The first officers elected were: Anna Balser, President; Helen Hickman, Vice President; Pete Perona. Secretary and Treasurer. Even as freshmen the boys took keen interest in athletics and Stanley Golcynski and Allan Elliott participated in many games. The girls’ basket ball team won the Interclass tournament. The following year was accompanied by the loss of several of our members who were, however, replaced by a few new ones. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: John Vendelskas, President: George Meinart, Vice President, and Marjorie Buskirk, Secretary and Treasurer; Helen Czapski and John Vendelskas represented us in the Student Council. Several of our members were also in the Science Club. During our third year in school, we elected as our officers: Anna Tuvada. President; Vera Milewski, Vice President; and Gladys Boyd, Secretary and Treasurer. Anna Tuvada and John Vendelskas Student Council. In athletic activities Stanley Golcynski was chosen as the coming year’s football captain, while Allan Elliott, Joe Vanauskas, and Frank Razavich made their letters during that year. In December nominations for the Owl Society were held. The following members were elected: Gladys Boyd, Josephine Blass, Loretta Ber- nard, John Sharkey, Anna Tuvada, and John Vendelskas. The Junior play given that year was also a great success. During our Senior year, we elected as class officers the following pupils: John Vendelskas, President; Alpy Galinasusky, Vice President: Anna Tuvada, Secretary and Treasurer, Dan Kvetinskas and Anna Tuvada, represented us on the Student Council. Allan Elliott, Stanley Golcynski, Frank Razavich and many others were prominent in athletics. Members of the Senior Class can also be found in any club or society in school as well as on the honor roll. Contrary to the usual custom, that of giving a ball or dance, Seniors attended a theater party, chaperoned by Mr. Alison. The Senior play has not, as yet, been given but after such a favorable showing in other activities we are confident that it will be a success. The last year of school is drawing to a close. Perhaps for many of us it means the end of our school days. Yet though it is impossible for us to go back and live over those four short years in school, each in his heart has resolved to profit by his experiences and to face the world with a confident spirit and a determination to succeed.
