CLASS I-IISTGRY HERE have been many famous dates of History: 1066, the battle of Hast- ings, 1492, the discovery of America, and last but certainly not least, 1932, the organization of the Class of '38 of the Ben Avon High School. This class started that year off with a bang under the helping hand of its president, Fred Evans. It wasn't until 1934, however, that the school began to realize how important this class really was. Football season started with Charles Hilf, class president, Fred Evans, George Boyd, Lindsay Vlfolfe, Bob McBride, Harold Xvatson, and Arthur Burki on the squad. The girls didn't do so badly either, for Donna Doerr and Betty Hazeltine came into Girls' Sports Club that year. As we look back, we recall that a group of that class, in Mr. Mason's report room gave a March of T-imc. Those live adorable quintuplets, Bill Webbe1', Steele Sellers, Lindsay l1Volfe, Heber Harper, and David Smith, became the whole school's darlings. In fact, some of the quints took quite a liking to their nurses and are still under their care. During their Sophomore year the members of this class burst into all school activities. Peggy Forsberg- became Secretary of Girl Reserves, while Girls' Sports Club membership increased with the addition of Mary Arnold, Peggy Forsberg, Betty Jane- Robertson, 'Virginia Lewis, and Har- riet Conley. Alvin Thomas and Lindsay Wfolfe earned basketball letters, and Charles Hilt, Dick Batchelor, and Lindsay VV'olfe received them for football. VVhen the curtain of the High School play Big-Hcczrtcd Hcrbe1't rose, the audience saw Lindsay Vlfolfe, Tom Bright, Mary Arnold, and Paul Heisey in the cast, with Peggy Forsberg backstage as promptress. By the end of their Sophomore year Donna Doerr, Betty Hazeltine, and Mary Arnold received Sports Club Letters. These letters were for participation in all sports. That was the year Peggy liorsberg was president of the class. The beginning of 1936, Junior year, found, among Hi-Y officers, Tom Bright, as Treasurer, Lindsay Wolfe, as Vice President, and Paul 1-leisey and Louis Grier as Councilmen. The Girl Re- serve cabinet is pretty well filled with Juniors. Virginia Lewis, Peggy Forsberg, Donna Doerr, Mary Arnold, and Betty Jane Dill, all are coming to cabinet meetings. Lindsay Wfolfe, class president, predicted some new Prom decorations this year, so out came crepe-paper. During their Junior year Betty Phillips and Joanne Schott entered Sports Club. In June 1938, Mr. Beattie will wave good- bye to this class, a little sadly and proudly, as he sees its members marching out into the gre-at, wide beautiful world to make their respective ways. Don't be surprised if you see, while browsing through l'Vlw's lfVh0, some of the names of the members of this class. Vlfe Have Hopes!! 27
