end frosh FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Here we are again at Berrien High as dignified (and as green) as Freshmen could be. We're not the original eighth grade, however, because many country people joined us. We elected officers for the first semester. They were: Everett Anstiss, president; James Sommers, vice president; Nona Comstock, secretary; Junior Gill, treasurer; and John Perkins, reporter. Of course we had a class party at Hallowe'en. It was a success and everybody enjoyed it—the teachers too, we hope. Our thanks go to Mr. Hawkins, our sponsor, for a very enjoyable year. —Barbara King President..........Robert Robinson Vice President.........Dale Brenner Secretary.............Barbara King Treasurer..........Nona Comstock Reporter.........Mary Alice Metzger

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Launching themselves cautiously, in the ship Wise Fool, the Sophomores set out in September on the sea of school life. With Mrs. Crittenden acting as their able admiral and Nathan Patland as their captain, they found both fair weather and smooth sailing to be theirs. On November 17, 1938, a dinner party was held, the success of which was even greater than they had anticipated. To add distinction to their craft, class pins were purchased; they are the pride and glory of every Sophomore. On the second leg of the journey, Captain Richard Pennell took the helm. Under him plans are being made for the ordering of class rings, an event customarily belonging to the Junior year. On the list of events to occur before summer vacation summons them to lay at anchor a while, are a skating party and a class picnic. With these pleasant harbors in view, the Sophomores sail smoothly on. —Margaret Krug President...... Vice President. Secretary...... Treasurer...... Reporter.......

Grades SEVENTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY We started this year with a bang, because we were in the new building and that made us feel pretty big. Mr. Nelson was our sponsor and we enjoyed him very much. Our officers for the first semester were Kenny Murphy, president; Jame Stebbins, vice president; Thais Lucas, secretary; Pat Stein, treasurer; and Frances Allred, reporter. We had a Hallowe'en party the first semester which was enjoyed by all. The second semester we started by electing Roland Christl, president, Madelyn Shultz, vice president; Frances Allred, secretary; Barbara McCuen, treasurer; Kenny Murphy, reporter. We had a Valentine party this semester which was almost more fun than our other party. Before the end of the year we are going to have a weiner roast. EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY Well, it was fun while it lasted, and we are all prepared to wave good-bye to the eighth grade and to Mr. Gill, our sponsor. We are all gladly looking forward to our Freshman year with high hopes. We’ve had many good times even though the new rules stepped especially hard on the eighth graders. We've had a swell Spelling Club whose leaders were Marilyn Skinner and Donald Whetstone. The losers entertain at the end of the year.
