Advisor----- Dorothy Spcncor •Hiss Hankins Besides these officers our class consisted of Helen Allen, Francos Danner, Florence Drake, Donovan Herndon, Dale Jones, Dorothy Seymour, Dorothy Long, Duane Smith, and Maxine 'Vilson. Perhaps our proudest achievement of this year was tho winning of the Honor Class trophy for tho last semester. This trophy is awarded on a basis of cholastic and oxtracurricular activities. 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

How important we felt and how eagerly we sought to reach all our anticipationsJ But, alas, it is not with the supposed joy but with real sorrow that we've come to realize that the pleasant hours spent here are through and we are about to join the bank of alumni.
