e the YP OLX Pt le JACK SHEPHERD POPE BENJAMIN EUGENE ATKINSON GERTRUDE ROMINSKI President Vike-president Secretary Treasurer A O44 LA Ps : v4 See , Senior Class OON AFTER school called in September, the Seniors held a meeting and S elected officers. Jack Shepherd was chosen to lead this illustrious class, with Pope Benjamin as vice-president. Eugene Atkinson found himself with the enjoyable task of correspondent or secretary, while Gertrude Rominski drew the difficult job of treasurer and along with it the problem of collecting dues. Throughout their four years in high school the present Seniors have always had good officers. The three presidents, Bernard Stitt, Freshman; Mar- garet Morrison, Sophomore; and A. W. Schrader, Jr., proved their worth, while their assistants, Nellie Balhoff, Freshman; Joe Max, Sophomore; and Vir- ginia Horton, Junior, although not in the foreground, were always ready to sup- port the class. Virginia Horton in her Freshman and Sophomore years, and Marian Downing in her Junior year, performed their secretarial work without reproach, while the treasurers, Eugene Atkinson, Freshman; John Skelt, Sopho- more; and Gertrude Rominski, Junior, were quite successful as collectors. The new school building gave the class of ’31 a wonderful chance to display their talents. They were very. gratified to be the first organization to present a play in the new auditorium. Two casts were chosen early in the year, and on the evenings of November thirteenth and fourteenth they displayed their talents in “Alice-Sit-By-The-Fire,” a three-act play. The play was a success both as an entertainment and as a money making scheme. Not satisfied with this one success, many Seniors took part in the Vodville and operetta. But the crowning event was graduation, since this class was the first to graduate from the new auditorium. The class of °31 wishes to express its appreciation for all the opportunities siven them and to extend the wish that the class of ’32 and each succeeding class may enjoy the same privileges.
