Senior Class History There entered Winslow High School, four years ago a class that lias been distinguished as a most progressive one. While we were Freshmen we were afraid of the tenors of imitation, especially after hearing some of the threats of the Sophomores. We elected John Peterson president and Dayton Shields vice-president. The next year we entered as Sophomores with a determination to murder the poor Freshmen. When the class roll was taken, it was found that John Peterson and Mina ( '.allegos had left our class. Dayton Shields was president and Adelaide Martin vice-president this year. Lorenzo Cebellos joined our class this year and he has proved himself a very good student. When we entered as Juniors, our class had the same members as when we were Sophomores. We tried to boss everything including the Seniors this year and very nearly succeeded. The class proved its ability when the Junior Play drew a greater crowd than had ever attended a class play before. The Junior Prom, also, was the best ever put on in Winslow. Ruth Plaiss and Gilbert Scorse entered our class this year and soon proved themselves welcome additions. Finally, this year, the best in the history of our class, saw Seniors predominating in football, basket ball, track, and all other school activities. The Senior Play drew another crowd. This play equalled the high standard set by the Junior play of the year before. Andrew Williams, Charles McBride, and Ruth Plaiss dropped out this year but their places were taken by Charles Tackett, Nellie Olson, Lora Smith, and Clifford Bengston. We are very glad to have these new members in our class. They would be a welcome addition to any class in school. Dayton Shields is president and Ivan Hancock is vice-president this year. This year will see a class graduation with about the same numberof members as it had when it entered High School, a remarkable record for any class. PAGE SIXTEEN
