THG SHIELD 19)38 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1938 In September, 1924, one lone member of rhe illustrious class of 1938 started on her Seminar) ' career — Joan Burmesiter. In January, however, she was joined by Margaret McGinnis. The fol- lowing September our numbers were increased by Anne Murray and Frances Young. Thus with these early founders and with Martha Turner, Jean Hutchinson, and Mary Jean Morris who soon joined them, began our history at the Seminar) ' . The years passed with surprisingly few mishaps. In June, 1934, we received our eighth grade diplomas with proud hearts. Among these gradu- ates were Mary Nasmyth, Shirley Robbins, and Judy Fraser. Joy complete! Now we were Freshmen. Vir- ginia Crowe, Lois Parker, Virginia Humbird, Frances Sanborn, and Joan Hopkins joined our energetic ranks that year. We took active parts in sports, and were enthusiastic participants in all school activities. Anne Murray as our president led us successfully, and it was said that we showed promise of future renown. As Sophomores we certainly began to fulfil that prophecy. Martha Turner was our leader that year. Lois Jannsen was our only new member. In the fall we distinguished ourselves in athletics by winning the hockey championship. After Christ- mas we gave a carnival which is not yet forgotten. It had all the concessions, barkers (shall we ever forget Parkie?), balloons, food of a real carnival, but it was free. After Easter came our Hop which, we are told, we handled remarkably well. The night of the Prom we had the traditional theatre party and feast. What quantities of food we did consume that night! Then came the climax of the whole year, the Athletic Banquet, at which we were much in evidence. With spirits high, we strode into our junior year. It was a thrill to be upper classmen, especially since our increased numbers added to our import- ance. Ann Huston, Bette-Jo Simpson, Patricia and Phyllis Fraser, Marjorie Beam, Cleo Garber, and Constance Franckum had now joined us. Anne Murray was again our able engineer. The first semester fairly flew, sports being uppermost in our minds. Before we realized it, Christmas was upon us, bringing with it the Carol Service and a jolly party in Miss Wilsons apartment. In almost no time at all we were planning for the Frolic. We chose valentines as our motif, and the gymnasium became a bevy of red hearts. Then came the most important event of all, the Prom. We transformed the Great Hall into a Dutch garden and the Freshmen attendants wore Dutch costumes. Surely there never has been and never will be such a dance. When May Day came, Bette-Jo Simpson was our lovely representative at the Queen ' s court. Commencement passed. At last we were ready to assume the honors and responsibilities of seniors. When we returned in the fall, it was hard to believe that we really were SENIORS. As soon as elections were over, however, Ann Huston hav- ing been elected president, and Martha Turner, vice-president, we began a short search for the spade-short, because within three days Lois Parker found it. For the last lap of our journey Eleanor Godfrey and Barbara Roberts joined us. The next important event of the fall term was the sorority dance which more than fulfilled our expectations. Before the Christmas holidays came our last Carol Service at the Seminary. Afterwards we met in Miss Wilson ' s cottage for a festive party and at midnight we sang carols in the corridors. Then in April the Juniors entertained us at the Prom. The first week-end in May was set aside for Dad ' s day, and surely the dads have never been so jolly as they were this year. A week later we joyfully crowned our lovely May Queen, Frances Young. Her charming Junior artendant was Sheilah Sulli- van. We could not have asked for anything more beautiful than our May Day. Commencement festivities began with the Junior-Senior banquet after which we held the formal sorority initiation. Then came Class Day with the planting of our tree, the willing of our prized possessions, and the bonfire. The Senior Play, The Cradle-Song, was a triumphant suc- cess — we thought. The Great Day finally arrived. After working and waiting for it during so many years we could hardly believe that it was now a reality. The story of the Class of 1938 is now another colorful page in the annals of a wonderful school. Our motto, Esse quam videre, and that of the Seminary, From strength to strength, have been our guides. And now with many a backward glance of longing we say, Farewell.
