THE RDEK-I9Z8 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES Mixed with the sweetness of education is the taint of bitterness caused by the financial interests created by the various classes' zest to do big things. Every class wants a year book, but doesn't realize that a year book costs money until the senior year is all too far on its way. Suddenly there is a rush of hurried activity as the sad realization comes long after it should have Everyone moves sullenly about muttering figures and quoting prices under his breath. Dark days seem to loom ahead until some fertile brain evolves a set of plans which finally saves the day. The senior class of 1938 has had such a rush to harvest its meager crop of funds that it would like to preserve for posterity its efforts, so that like good historians, it has set them down in as clean order as possible The only purpose is to let other classes profit by old mistakes!

I I THE RDEK-I When the senior class held its first real financial venture, a cake sale, its hope was high. They thought there was nothing to raising money except getting everyone to bring a cake, which the class would sell at a clean profit. But the trick wasn't that easy. On the appointed day, a store was secured and cleaned. The hopeful salesmen sat back and waited for cakes to arrive, but few did. Near hysteria reigned. After much calling and running, enough cakes were secured to prevent a complete failure. A Christmas dance and several tea dances followed which stirred up little interest and less money. Tasty Jell, pencils with basketball schedules upon them, Christmas cards, and motion picture presentations followed to add their little bits to the class treasury. The senior play made the first large solid contribution to the class treasury. This play, however, was done under the direction and auspices of the dramatic club and, therefore, was not entirely a senior effort. With the dual purpose of starting a precedent and also making no little money toward the yearbook fund, the class planned and had the first Senior Prom. Although the plan was new to this school, the dance was conducted exceedingly well and a surprising amount of money was added to the little nest egg. When all the returns were finally counted, much to the amazement of all concerned, enough money had been earned from the activities and dues to make a yearbook possible. In order to avoid a similar rush in other classes, the class of 1938 wants to issue a fatherly warning to all its successors to act immediately and not wait until the final semester to do what should be done over a period of several years.
