GIRL ELECTED PRESIDENT
OF NJ. 7. H. 5. SENATE
Miss Mayme Klentschy Honored
by the Students of South
Side School.
PROMINENT IN HER CLASS

For the first time in the history of the
Manual Training High School Senate and
probably any other senate, a girl has been
elected to the presidency of that body. The
one chosen to control the somewhat turbu-
lent lawmakers is Mayme L. Klentschy,
prominent member of the June, 1904, class.
For some time she has regularly attended
the Senate meetings and served as secre-
tary for two successive terms When her
name was proposed it was easily seen that
she would be elected and in few moments
the quiet Senator Hansbrough was ele-
waited to the rank of Miss" President She
inaugurated her administration by declar-
ing that the action of the Senate was quite
mean"
Besides being a member of that body,
Miss Klentschy is connected with many
other lines of school life, such as the Shak-
speare Club, in which she recently gave an
excellent portrayal of Juliet; the Annual
of which she is poetry editor, and the Mir
ror, the official school paper, TO which she
is a regular contributor. She has received
unusually high marks in her studies, near
1y all of them consisting of A and a plus
In English and composition she has dis
played marked ability and next September
intends to take up a special English course
at Indiana University. She has chosen liter
ature as her profession.
Miss Klentschy is a member of the Ire
definite sorority of the June class and a
likely candidate for salutatory honors.
