YOU ALL KNOW Superintendent J. E. Bohn Wfhat are the signs of promise for the graduates of the class of 1938? The signs still point to the tact that it is the active minds who are producing results during a period of economic stagnation. You have developed mind activ- ity in school. Keep it up. Go to college, or learn all you can about a trade or a vocation. Always keep on learn- ing. Develop practical ideas and nurture them so that when your chance comes you may put them to work. The signs also indicate that spiritual stagnation in- creases material depression. Grow spiritually. lV1an's spiritual nature has carried him on though the sands of the ages have buried his material developments. Hope remains while mental and spiritual growth and activity continue. Were it not for these signs of promise how drab would be our outlook! And now-Good luck and farewell. I. E. Bohn AND OUR PRINCIPAL . Mr. Jameson Congratulations to the Class of 1938 for providing this splendid pictorial tour of 1937-38 Ashland High School. During the past three years I have learned to know many of you quite well and have enjoyed my associa- tions with you. It is my hope that your high school career has en- abled you to exercise independent judgment and that you have secured the information necessary for an un- derstanding and appreciation of the opportunities open to you. Your time and effort here has been worthwhile it all of you continue to be desirable citizens leading happy successful lives. S. F. Jameson GUI 10

9 11 The Dean of Girls . Mrs. Mandeville AN APPRECIATION OF A FRIEND RS. Adelaide M. Mandeville, Teacher of English, Dean of Girls, General Counsellor and friend of young and old, nurse of wounds both physical and mental, mother of many, friend of all and enemy of none, is retiring from an honorable profession after an honorable career. Financial riches she has not achieved. Otherwise she retires with wealth such as only a few people are able to accumulate in a lifetime. She leaves us whom she has served with an abounding faith in the general goodness of high school youth. She leaves a community that appreciates her ability, and her integrity, and her strength of character. Many citizens have asked us to prevail upon her to stay on. These requests are indeed a tribute, for her task has not been easy. Many times firm stands had to be taken. Ofttimes righteous indignation had to be expressed, but in the end her judgment proved to be for the best interests of all concerned. Mrs. Mandeville, you are taking with you a wealth of friendship of both young and old. We want you to do now those things which you would like to have done had you followed a less strenuous and exacting career. We need not ask you to remember us. You cannot forget the school and the community to which you have given so much of yourself. Neither can we forget you, whose minis- trations have always been in our interest. NVQ pray for God's richest blessings in the years ahead. -I. E. BOHN
