Flower •Yellow tearose During this first period of our High School life, v e endured the usual agonies of initiation at the hands of the Sophomores. In point of scholastic attainments, our class’ did not lag behind other classes, with throe receiving honors in their Freshman year: Clara Louise Conner, Helen A lien, and Loland Graham. Socially our activities were all that could be expected of us and perhaps all it was wise for us to undertake without infringing on the more serious business of classroom. The girls joining G, A. A. were: Maxine Wilson, Clara Louise Conner, Darlene Lovell, Florence Lutz, Dorothy Long, Dorothy Spencer,.Dorothy Seymour, Helen A lien and Frances Danner.

Helping us toward our goal were: Scholarship awards v on by Clara Louise Conner, Frances Danner, Lcland Graham, Helen Allen, Dorothy Long, Dorothy Spencer, and Maxine il3on. Basketball letters by: Lcland Graham and Dnlo Jones; track letter by Lcland; and declaration awards by Clara Louise and Lcland. This year wo presented our first class play, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer . Wo feel that the play was very successful as well as fun and ed- ucational and that all erodit should be given to Miss Hoskins for her patience and ability in di- recting us. At Christmas time the High School and com- munity presented, an oporetta, An Old Kentucky Garden based on Stephen Foster'3 well loved tunc Donovan, Maxine, Dorothy Spencer, Frances, Dorothy Seymour, Lcland, Florence, Helen, Dorothy Long, and Clara Louise were chosen in the cast. As our token of farewell to the Class of '38 we entertained at the Methodist Church with a banquet in their honor. The motif carried out was Colonial and we hope the ir pleasure was as great as ours. At last the long awaited day arrived and we
