BILL SAVOY PAUL DAMM Vice-President Treasurer LEE BIRD DALE ENGLEMAN Secretary President THE CLAII DI: 1938 The class of '38 started its production in Great Bend High School with a cast of 130 mem- bers. The following stars were selected: president, Dale Engleman: vice-president, Bill Savoy: secretary, Lee Bird: treasurer. Paul Damm: cheerleader, Evelyn Yetschke. Our directors are Miss Truxal and Miss Shoemaker. The class of '38 sponsored a sandwich sale to earn money for their pages in the Rhorea. They also gave a one act chapel play entitled Queen Ann's Lace. The cast was: Alberta Lischcsky, Virginia Powell, Edna Mae Amend, Robert Bird and Gilbert Russell. The class has lived up to the standard of G.B.H.S. as we have a goodly number on the honor roll each six weeks and the fact that six of our boys made the football team and four the basketball team shows that we are not lacking school spirit. -LEE BIRD. 26
