Hzwwffd QlI A I - DlNE BANISTER, Senior. for secretary, Madolyn Addison, Eleanore Bennett, Leota jean Long, Virginia Schmale and Gertrude Sten: for treasurer, Bud Boddington, Xarifa Gale, Richard Perkins. The election results made Roy Larson president, Doris Shull vice president, Leota jean Long secretary, and Richard jenkins treasurer. The sophomore class has an advisory couneil of twelve members. They are Donald Gosney, jcannette Cooper, Bette Van Payne, Thomas Ross, Eugene Peck, Lois Wlitte, Madolyn Addison, Eleanore Bennett, Virginia Sehmale, Gertrude Sten, Bud Boddington and Xarifa Gale. Another eommittec is the representative eommittee, appointed by second hour teachers to represent sophomores of that class group, They are jaek Lawton, Elaine Palmer, Betty jean Doran, Agnes Weltei', Emily jean Baker, Robert Noss, jack Bailey, Mike Corup, Billy Swan, jack Laster, Bob Campbell, Herbert Blessman.

The eommittee already has met and talked things over, dis cussing the talents of the class. The sophomores do not have many activities, but they do sell wine halls on Friendship Day. They also will take part in assemblies with the freshman class. The sophomores seem to be eoneentrating their energy on making good grades, for the first six weeks they tied with the seniors and the seeond six weeks they were ahead of all other classes. FRESHMEN The freshman class of VVyandotte is the smallest because pupils eligible to this class are divided into three groups. Those going to Northwest, to Central, and to Vifyandotte. This class may be small in numbers but it has an advantage over the other classes in one respect: It will be able to attend the new sehool for four consecutive years, whereas the others will have three years or less. Candidates for president were Robert Edwards, Virginia Lou Huston, Samuel Lund, jo Ann Roherts, Esther Mae Williainisrmiig for vice presidentg Betty Lou Frohwerk, Peggy McNeil, Albert Pillsbury, Kenneth Riee, Kenneth Stamps, for secretary, Betty Frank Carey, Betty Ruth U'Neal, Donald Richardson, Rose Mary Tophekerg for treasurer, Earl Living' ston, Albert Vodapest, and john Wiitters.

They sell wine balls and hold joint assemblies with the sophomores. The freshmen were on the same level with sen iors this year in the matter ot' getting lost in the building. They could grin so eondescendingly when they saw a senior searching for an out-of-thefway classroom.

Hoofray! Christmas is here and no more school until 1938. Had a grand time at school but there is nothin' like home. Say, Mom, what's Santa gonna bring me? D A SENIOR' DILEMMA These F uture Events Will Come Perf https Too Fast for the Uppesrclassmen Dear Sue, Well, I thought I'd scribble you a few lines before The Quiverian is published. My, but this has been a busy month since our return from the holidays. When I look to the future it does not seem possible that I have only about sixteen more weeks of school, How time does fly! It seems only yesterday that I entered Wyandotte for the first time. What happy times I've had during the past years. Each year has brought new experiences and new friends. It makes the seniors sad to think that before long they will be turned out into the world either to go on to college or enter into some occupation, But let's look on the merry side of life, What are you planning to do in the months to come? We students have quite a future ahead for awhile yet. On Feb. 1 and 8 the ParentfTeachers Association has meetings planned. The first is to be an afternoon meeting and the second a night meeting. I suppose some of our students will take part in the program for one of these. Did you see our fine swimming pool when you visited the new building? The girls' swimming classes are planning a swimming demonstration for Feb. 9. Maybe you can come up an see it, If you can come that night you might as well plan to stay over and see the junior College play to be given in the auditorium, Feb, S and 9. We have two more fine assemblies planned. On Feb. 18, the Misner players will present Shakespeares dramatic triumphs in a concentrated form. Mr. Misner, head of this group has studied in Shakespeares hometown, Stratford. On March 23 the program will feature the Chicago Civic Opera Trio. Also while you're here you might get to see ai basketball game or two. March 4 is the end of the fourth six weeks. That's one way to celebrate one's birthday, don't you think? Goodness, but there are a lot of things to go to, The junior class is having its play March 23, 24, and 7.5. If it is as good as our senior play, it will be a dandy. The big Kay Cee basketball banquet is to be held April 2. -by JEANNETTE SMILEY We hope they will be able to celebrate many victories. The music department may later in the year haw YWU programs that will be worth attending. The glee clubs have been thinking of presenting an operetta and the band may give a concert. Have you read in The Pantograph of the Dramatics club? It has about 75 members. They are to present a play April 26 and 27. Each year the journalism instructor recommends a num: ber of journalism students for membership into Quill' E! Scroll. This is an international honorary journalism society for high school students. We staff members will need to be up on our toes until the first of April when Mr. R. A. Heady, instructor, sends in the recommendations. May 4, the boys' and girls' gym classes are to give another gym show. When we draw near to the end of April and the beginning of May, we begin to think of graduation and all the ceref monies that go with it. The junior'senior reception is to be held May 6. I sup' pose this year we will be able to have it in our new building. Many students will be watching for their letter on Good Friday telling them that they have been named for the Na' tional Honor Society. That is the highest hope of many seniors, The National Honor Society ceremonial will be held May 10 and the reception May 12. Well, toward the end of May we really get into the idea of graduation. When that time comes, we won't be seniors of Wyandotte much longer. Instead we will be alumni of Wyandotte. When we walk down the aisle to get our diplomas grad' uation night, many of us will have tears in our eyes. It will be the last thing we will have to remember of our school days, But, let's think of the present. When we do, we find there is much to be done, So, you go to your work and I'll go to mine. May I see you soon. Lovingly, June.
