Pella High settles class dispute and elects officers
Last Thursday the senior class unified with the Progressive Seniors to form The Senior Class Association of 1925. Officers elected include Robert Beyers as president by 30 to 9 after three ballots, Betty Butts as vice president, with secretary and treasurer seats undecided. The new constitution requires a three fourths majority for bills and officer elections. The issue followed a split over voting rights, and Prof. F M Frush chaired the officer election.
