THE SENIOR CLASS
ORGANIZATION

Has the Academy senior class of
'23 any pep? Well I'll just let you
judge for yourself. A few days after
school began, the class met and E.
lected the class officers. / am sure
that you will agree with me that
they used good judgement when
hey elected the following officers:
Miss Mary Faulkner, president.
Miss Clyda Nelson, secretary and
treasurer.
Our president is working hard
with the support of the others mem
bers to make this class the best that
has been graduated from the U. c.
Academy.
The Seniors have taken the en-
tire responsibility of the Stespean
this year, Miss Flossie Turner being
editor in chief and Mr.. Charles
Heidrick business manager.
The class has organized a girls
and boys basketball team.
The Senior class is very proud of
the fact that it has so many talented
members. Leila Vincent and Opal
Gray have charming voices: Flossie
Turner. Evelyn Black and Carolyn
Stanfill are the readers; Ted Davies
is the violinist and the star spell
er" of the class.
Now do you not think the class
will succeed in making itself one Of
the best that has ever graduated
from Union Academy If it keeps up
the spirit with which it has started?
