Senior Class History Seniors....... The Class of 38 . It seems like years since we were freshmen, so little and scared. Remember how everyone laughed when we walked across the platform in the assembly? That was the year everyone was so excited when our basketball team went downstate ”. The next year we were a little more at home and our grades were better (thank goodness). Remember the party we gave for the freshmen with Fuzzy Stevenson and Bob Gilmore welcoming the newly-arrived immigrants ? We ll never forget our junior year—Eastern Division Champions—football was the thing . Remember Jim Carlisle twirling his torch at the La Porte game—and the way we beat the Slicers? Arthur Greenburgh is still trying to explain some of the things that happened in the Junior Play. Although our basketball season “wasn’t so hot , it was thrilling just to go and sit in the new Auditorium after suffering in the Barn all those years. We really gave a Prom that year, and in a beautiful Hawaiian setting of colorful leis and flowers we spent an unforgettable night. But now we’re Seniors. Being president of the Senior Class seems to run in the Gropp family—Evelyn last year and Don now. After the election of class officers we began the busiest of our four years in high school. The Elstonian staff was chosen in the fall, and during the winter months we put on record-breaking advertising and sales campaigns. In March the Senior Play cast and Class Day committees were chosen, and from then on the bustle of commencement activities began in earnest. But now our high school days are practically over, and soon everyon will be traveling a different road with only the memory of Th 1938 .
