Our senior supper was cancelled due to the shortage of food. Harry Playdon, our class president, resigned from office so we were forced to elect a new president. Wallace Kimball, our vice president, was elected to fill the ofiice, thus leaving the vice presi- dent's office open. Robert Martin was elected to fill this office.
