SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1934 the upper classmen laughed and snickered at a new freshman class. But this class in the years to come was destined to become one of the leading classes in high school. Miss Ruth Holmes was the sponsor of this group when they were freshmen, and Mrs. John McIntyre was their class mother. Several parties were given celebrating the different holidays. Bridge became a craze and Mrs. John McIntyre's house was filled with bridge friends most of the time. The next year. ’35-'36, Coach John Nutting led them on. Bridge was still a craze and McIntyre’s house still a social center. Mrs. McIntyre was again the class mother and was to be the rest of the four years. The class did very well in getting the prizes offered by the P.-T. A. and other organizations. During its junior year the class really started to work. With Mr. and Mrs. Bryce K. Newell helping, they put on a western drama. “Digging up the Dirt, early in the fall. After the play, the class had a party at Bill Rector s home at Glen Haven. Several shows were given to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet, which was held at Stead's Hotel on May 26 and was a big success. The biggest year of all was the senior year. Three of the class had started in the first grade in Estes Park and attended here in all twelve grades. At the school carnival the seniors captured first prize for the best-decorated bcoth. In April they gave a play. “Fools’ Luck.’’ again under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Bryce K. Newell. During the last month of school the senior class was very busy. They went to Denver on Sneak day and had a very good time. The last week of school Class Day exercises. Commencement exercises, and Baccalaureate Services were held. The junior class gave them a nice banquet and so ended four of the happiest years of their lives. —Earl Baird and George Watson.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT All seems dark and gloomy, but it is just the hand that fate has dealt out to the class of '38. The class knows well of its passing from the present high school and is mournfully giving its vital things to the needy persons in the up-and-coming classes. It is only with great sadness that the noble seniors will their prize possessions to their underclassmen. The will the class has to offer is for the future benefit of the Estes l’ark High School and each and every student inside its stone walls. We are only too pleased to see these fortunate students have these valuable gifts of honor. As a starter the senior class as a whole offers to the up-and-coming senior class of next year the ability to get cooperation during class meetings and any other activity in which they participate. They also leave the great number of A's they have gotten during their school years to the junior class. Earl Baird leaves to Bernerd Dannels his ability to get his women. Virginia Baxter leaves her ability to get A's to George Hurt. She also leaves her charming figure to Joe Fulton. Bill Haggerty is so kind that he wants Tommy Stith to have his ties to wear to school in the future. To Charley Robbins he leaves his levelheadedness. Bill Mantor leaves his studying ability to the will-be sophomore (maybe), Mr. Byron Sawdey. Ed Reed to Dan Byrd hands his he-man build so that Dan will make the football squad this fall. To Alvin Mundt comes George Watson's long legs and broad shoulders. He also leaves his driving ability to Eleanor Brinkley. (She needs it.) Jean McIntyre would like Darlene Carmack to have her necking ability. She also leaves her scholastic ability to Harvey Hurt. Bill Waite should like J. C. Caldwell to have his marvelous crop of red hair. He would also like Dean Cole to have his athletic ability. Joyce Sawdey leaves her ability to hook a man for good to Eleanor Caldwell, her typing fingers to Miss Hayden. Jack Stith would like to see Warren Hurd take over his ability to dance, not walk, at public dances. And now that the senior class has given forth its will, it is not only ready but anxious to leave this beloved high school for good. Good-bye, school, and success to you and your students. Jack Stith.
