J ulia White AFTER a look into the yearbooks of the past three years it became apparent that a res- ume of the histories of the Class of '38 given in those books, plus an account of this year's activities might prove to be interesting. So going back to 1935 we read that our freshman historian sketched the class as a block of granite being prepared for the Norwin hall of fame. First year studies and a few activities polished the stone while engineers, John Stouffer, Carthrae Laffoon, and Mildred Medic, directed it into place. The ingredients mortar that we used came from all the ing districts of the Irwin borough. September 3, 1935, landed on a new planet, Sophland. Another ship coming from the junior Highland strengthened our numbers. A new class president, Charles Ridl, had Stan Thomas and Julia White helping him govern our stay on this fertile planet. Under this leadership the class gained a reputation of true Norwinites. 1936 and upperclassmen at last! The foun- dation of activitites we had gradually devel- oped during the last two years commanded our attention. Thirty-eighters earned places in football and basketball lineups. The staff of the paper and the annual found ambitious writers in our ranks. The shows and glee- clubs of the music department used many for the out ly- warbling juniors. Mike Karazin was the only new class oflicer. His majority of election votes made him vice president. The class officers planned a night in a Valencia garden with the music of jimmy Bray's orchestra for the junior-Senior Recep- tion. Juniors had their new class rings for jewelry that night. A telegram late in May told the Class of '38 that they had finally taken place of a senior group. We had a three-month vacation to gather the dignity we needed as the senior class. Early in September the class functioned as a body and selected Charles Ridl and julia White for their third consecutive year as president and secretary. Carthrae Lalioon was elected vice president. Activities invited the class to assume their leadership. Classmates starred in football, bas- ketball, golf and tennis. The paper flourished with '38 leaders. Sweet strains floated forth from tender senior voices in the music room. Seniors built the administrations' new activity program, a valuable foundation for their next year's work. Social programs crowded our last days. The Juniors feted us with an elaborate Prom. Bac- Culareate and Commencement ended our stay at Norwin. 19
