the reflector senior c lass The purpose of this history is to trace the story of a people, not through a century of progress, but four years of progress—the class of “33” through its high school years. This class, composed of approximately two hundred students, entered high school life in September, 1929, and proceeded through the year with the following leaders at its head: president—Catherine Ribovich, vice-president—Paul Haluska, secretary— Justine Dado, treasurer—Mike Martich. The only outstanding social activity of this first year was the Freshman Reception, with which they were honored by the Seniors. With a number of new students from the Franklin School added to the ranks, the second year was begun under the capable officers elected by the class: Bruce Avery— president, Virginia Gilbcrg—vice-president, Carl Buchlcr—secretary, Ruth Zweig— treasurer. In March the class sponsored the annual Sophomore Party in the form of a St. Patrick's dance. This affair earned the class the reputation for giving successful parties, which it has retained. During that year, Caroline Zimmerly creditably represented the class in the State Latin Contest in which she received second place. In the third year the members of the class took a prominent part in outside activities as well as in school affairs. Kenneth Malick won first place in the saxophone divis'on of the National Instrumental Solo Contest, Gene Melvin took first award in the State Piano Contest, and Martha Broderson was awarded first prize in the National Red Cross Essay Contest. With Lucille Bailey as president, Mike Fowdy as vice-president, Lois Brown as secretary, and Paul Martich as treasurer, the class was ably guided. The Junior Play and the Prom were the big events of the year. The play, “Those Lovely Ladies”, with Evelyn Shinn and Wilbur Boland carrying the leading roles, afforded a hilarious evening’s entertainment to the enthusiastic audience who witnessed the performance. The Prom was the one gala social function on the school calendar, when about two hundred couples danced in the rainbow decorated gymnasium to the rhythm of Milton Zeitlin’s orchestra. When the Senior year was reached Kenneth Malick was elected to the position of class president. Those chosen as his aides were: vice-president—Gene Melvin, secretary— Mike Martich, and treasurer Emajean Purinton. A dramatic success was recorded with the Senior Play, “The Whole Town’s Talking”. A more enjoyable play could not have been selected, and it was very well presented by an excellent cast headed by Mary Ccngel and Russell Carnagcy. The class had the largest number of students in the history of the school to receive their fourth scholarship W’s. Roy Green and Albert Elders brought honor to the school by their accomplishments in swimming, as did Paul Walsko in football. Bruce Avery, Eugene Gambril, and Mike Fowdy proved to be outstanding performers on the basketball floor. The class was also well represented in the field of girl's sports, those most active being: Lucille Boland, Harriet Doll, Hazel Helton, Elizabeth Jaroscak, Gene Melvin, Edith Matis, Wilma Pemberton, and Ruth Zweig. The class is proud of its achievements in all lines of endeavor—social, scholastic, an athletic. sixteen
