Whitten High Seniors Celebrate Banquet at Ella’s Tearoom
The Whitten high school seniors of 1851 and teachers gathered Thursday at Ella's Tearoom in Marshalltown for a formal banquet in the Pagoda room. Mervin Baker opened with a welcome, answered by John Goodman and Robert Bavender and Supt. Arthur Paulson. A brief musical program followed with songs by Norma and Chris Schwark, a boys’ quartet, and remarks naming Katherine Bavender salutatorian and Robert Bavender valedictorian. The group also visited Jerry Rogers, the student council president, at Deaconess hospital before heading to the theater. In music contest results, Gary Ridout and Anna Marie Paulson earned II1 ratings at the State Music Contest for small ensembles in Grinnell. Edwin Brehmer of Liscomb is at his mother’s home.
