trembling voices we read our modest contributions, and here for a second time, you passed too slowly! In spite of the fearful excitement of the above- mentioned event, we fooled you and squeezed in the announcement of our class hymn, and rehearsed for the Magpie plays and fashion show. The Senior-Junior banquet again hurtled at us, but this time we were regretful to see it come, realizing that the end of the year was approaching. Nevertheless we found cheerful inspiration in Miss lidell's speech, and listened with pride to our class leaders. Miss Carrington added to the gayness, and we accepted our gifts with our accustomed jollity. But it certainly seemed strange to hear class history and phophecy read and to know it was our class! You rushed us all, all too rapidly into exams. VVe went down to the gym trying hastily to cram one more sentence into our already stuffed minds, then plunged desperately in. However, nothing fwell, almost nothingj is ever so bad as it seems, so the exams were soon happily over, leaving us in the midst of the mascot hunt. And oh, Father Time, you must have sprouted extra wings on the occasion, for, although we proved fairly able sleuths, we didn't exactly cover ourselves with glory! The Junior-Senior picnic was on our heels presently, and it really was quite a pleasure to be guests instead of hostesses. And now, Father Time, we wish to register our most serious complaint: a definite objection to the way you acted during commencement week- end! WVith only four days left to us you might have been more generous, but, no, you insisted on speeding up. Being the truly formal hostesses at the prom was fun but the hours sped too quickly. Baccalaureate with all its loveliness gave way to the joys and sadness of Class Day when we saw the new Seniors possessing our steps. The Senior play went oil without a hitch but its finale was the beginning of the end. VVe saw you pass clear out of sight as we felt the leather of our diploma and read our name upon its parchment. We sincerely hope, Father Time, that you'll take this epistle to heart and be a bit more generous to the class of '39. VVe know they'll appreciate itl Yours in a hurry, THE CLASS OF '38 ' iw lux g, A - 'xblrii ru , -1 1-. K .. i Li- P - 2 , ,f ,gr 38 21,55 'V V
