THE ANN UAL Senior Class History This June five hundred citizens will leave our community. This is the larg- est group ever to be graduated from Wilkinsburg High School. THE CLASS Besides the gradual increase in numbers with each year's suc- . ceeding class, the class of 1934 has, as an addition, those who otherwise would be known as mid-year graduates. Because of this union of mid-year and spring classes our recollections of the first day in high school are varied. For some of us it was a cold, blustering day in january, while for others, it was a warm, balmy day in September. The class departed from the usual routine of reelecting the officers of the preceding year. Instead, Eleanor Cowell was chosen as the first girl to have the honor of being president of her class. Qur first social venture was the Sophomore party. This dance proved to the upperclassmen that the sophomores were SOFT-ISU capable of upholding their responsibilities. The sophomores were also very prominent when it came time to elect members to the activity board, there were nineteen of us sophs running for this coveted office. As usually happens when the party has too many representatives on the ballot, the vote was split and the other parties carried the election. During our second semester two of our number, Louise Miller and Jack Annett, were chosen for the cast of Alice-Sit-By-The-Fire . We were slowly emerging from our shells and gaining recognition from the upper classes. We found ourselves being mentioned more and more in the Wilk Hi-Crieru, which had just been published that year in place of the Review , Much more was expected of us as we stepped into the role of juniors. VVhen the ballots were counted after a stormy election, it was found that Clyde Krug was chosen president. Contrary to popular opinion there was a certain serious- ness which came through added responsibility. We were now the backbone of the school, and it was our duty to uphold the high standards of Wilkinsburg High School by supporting all its activities. jack Annett proved his capability by his outstanding performance in Seventeen , Not only did we excel JUNIORS in dramatic ability but we were also prominent in all the athletics. Kenneth Shaffer, Clyde Krug, Nick Fusco, and Alex Hughes were stars in football, Frank Thompson, Richard Cromlish and Robert Burnett were basketball stars. Tennis honors were won by Robert Burnett. It was from our class too that Florence Inghram, David Farkas, Louis Bruning, and Robert Truxal were chosen to represent our school at the National Music Supervisor's Conference. It was during this year that the name of the newspaper was changed from Wilk Hi-Crier to the Wilkinsburg Hi-Ways . At last we were ready to step into the leading role, for we had finally reached the senior rank. It was now our duty to set examples for other students to follow. As leaders in the school, we gave the greater part of our time to our lessons, thus maintaining the high standard of scholarship set by the seniors of former years. Many of our classmates were chosen to fill positions of ,honor and responsibility. Frances Wynn was elected editor-in-chief of SENTORS the Wilkinsburg Hi-Ways . Elizabeth Coates was elected editor- in-chief of the Annual with Kay Glaesner as business manager and Joe Suter as advertising manager. The Student Council chose Jack Annett as its president. Qnce again members of our class were chosen forhleading roles in the school play, Tiger-House . Virginia Sleppy was chosen leading lady with Harry Sinewe and Jack Annett as supporting seniors. The Senior Prom closed our social year. Finally comes graduation. This will mean that each of us must go his own way to seek higher attainment. 30
