HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1934
180 freshmen, just as bewildered and perplexed as usual, entered
The first important office of the class was held by Ira Carpe, the president who threatened to resign if called upon to speak in public.
This freshman year was destined to go down in the history of the school, it seemed. During the year the new Committee-of-One system was inaugurated, the Southern Indiana Band and Orchestra Contest was held at Bosse, and the first School Spirit spelling bee was held, Katherine Herbert being the winner.
With 150 newer freshmen entering the school in the fall of 1931, we felt quite elevated at not being frosh any longer. Another full year was in store for these new sophs, however. The first homecoming at Bosse was Meld November 31. Bosse was crowned football champs of the city. Hurst, Jaquess and Ashcraft were elected yell leaders for the coming year.
An excellent year was had in the field of basketball, Bosse winning the sectional, regional and going to the semi-finals at
Hugh Forster was selected for our class president in our third year at Bosse, with Margaret Hurst as vice-president and Alice Cabbott as secretary-treasurer
A rather sad year was scheduled for this third one. Jack Webb, a prominent football player, was killed in December while riding on a sled. His closest boy-friend, Henry Bickel, died ten days later following a long illness. The entire class was so stunned that they could not realize they had lost these two valuable and well-loved members.
Bosse was again given the football crown this year. The first Citizenship Week was held during the week of January 23-27.
At last some signs of the now close-at-hand senior year were beginning to appear. On January 30, we chose the school colors, scarlet and gray, to be our senior class colors also. The designs of our rings and jackets were chosen during the month of March, and before the close of school many of these rings were seen at Bosse. Our first junior dance was held February 17.
Bill Grote was chosen to guide our class affairs for our last year at Bosse. John Armstrong was selected as vice-president, Margaret Hurst as secretary and Albert Fehn as treasurer.
The loss of another well-loved member of the class was suffered in this senior year by the death of Jane Holzgraf. We were destined to finish without the presence of another valuable member.
Dorothy Boner was elected football queen at the beginning of the season. The class was truly taking the lead in all of the important phases of the school life at this time. Seniors were chosen as editor of the School Spirit, captains of athletic teams, president of the Student Council, president of the Red Cross, Girl Reserves, Hi-Y and Girls' Athletic Association.
Twenty-three seniors were included in the forty taken into the National Honor Society at its annual assembly held April 20.
The best dramatic ability of the senior class was displayed in the successful showing of "The Royal Family of Broadway," the class play, presented on May 10-11. This was capably directed by Miss Betty Weintz.
The faculty reception, a breakfast, class day, boat-ride, commencement exercises, and the prom filled the last week of school to the utmost, thus ending four delightful years for the seniors.
The senior class of 1934 has done its best toward contributing its share to the school and will always be proud to call
MARJORIE ELLIS.
