Twelve years hence: we now find the 1661 firstfgraders, who began their educational career in the year 1926, about to don their caps and gowns, insignias of their learning, to step over the threshold of life. To many people, the Class of 1938 is just another class, but to the graduating seniors, it is the greatest class ever graduating from B. H. S. Entering upon our higher education in 1935, we overwhelmed the greater obstacles Q juniors and seniorsj by our exploits, and proved ourselves to be model sophomores. Under the sponsorship of Miss Pagels, Miss Cingles, Miss Winsor, Mr. Chard, Mr. Benton, and Mr. Broken' icky, we organized as a junior class. Donald Asboe was elected president, Robert Sherwood, vicefpresidentg Lois Drake, secretary, and Betty Colgate, treasurer. In order to carry out the traditional banquet in honor of the seniors, the junior class play was pref sented December 4th, in the Junior High. The play was entitled, The Late Christopher Bean. The plot of the story revolved around some oil paintings, sup' posedly valueless, but in reality worth a fortune. After some exciting moments and narrow escapes, the plot straightened out and everybody lived happily ever after. fPage Twenty-fourl On May 7, we were host at the juniorfSenior banquet. The banquet was, even if we do say so our' selves, a huge success. A timely theme, in keeping with the Coronation, was carried out. Donald Asboe was the wisefcracking toastmaster, Jane Austin, Betty Colgate, and Robert Lee Wilsoii were the student speakers. Miss Johnson and Mr. Henderson spoke for the faculty. Following the banquet a prom was held in the Junior high gym which was appropriately decorated in the coronation theme. Seven Keys to Balclpate, a hairfraising drama, was presented by the Senior class. May 19, we will return to our childhood days and amuscments, and will have our Senior class picnic. The following evening, May 20, the Seniors will be honored at a banquet at the First Christian Church. Sunday evening, May 22, baccalaureate services will be conducted in the junior auditorium with the digni' fied juniors acting as ushers. The music is to be fur' nished by the music department, under the direction of Miss Barclay and Mr. Rennick. Class night will be Monday night, May 23. Commencement is to be Friday, May 27, in the junior high. Mr. Gilmore Roscoe will give the address and Mr. Henderson will present the class.

In honor of the graduating class of 1938, a junior' Senior banquet and prom will be held May 20, with Ernest Smethers presiding. Individual achievements by members of the Junior class were outstanding in all departments. In debate, Robert Brewster, John McCown, Jane Davison, and Marshall Zidell received excellent ratings and carried the heavy load in the contests. Besides Junior play, Juniors held important positions in Dramatic Club productions. Paul Theis was captain of the Patrol and six juniors served duty. juniors monopolized the ofhces in HifY, with Bill Best, president, and Eldon Chamberlain, John McCown and William Kilf patrick other oflicers.

Cn the varsity basketball squad were Ernest Smethers, class president and Raymond Boehmer. The tennis and golf teams were almost one hundred per cent Juniors. In tennis there were Neal Zimmerf man, Robert Brewster, Eldon Chamberlain, Roger Maxwell and Marshall Zidell. Golf took Clifford Veon, Loren Aldrich, and Paul Thies. Cfiicers of the G. A. A, included Adelaide Reynolds, Donna Ruth Wierniaii, and Wauiiita Cox. Swimming attracted john McCown, jack Sharrock, William Kilpatrick, Earl Crittenden, and Jean Haith. This class has distinguished itself in spite of a small- er enrollment than is common in recent years. Its contributions to the standards of Beatrice are import- ant, but more significant is the development and en' richment of the individual members. It is toward this ultimate end that all class activities have been directed. Junior Officers President, Ernest Smethcrs ViC6'PT5SIdEHl, Jack Sharrock Secretary, Adelaide Reynolds Treasurer.
