That Girl Patsy deals with Mrs, Warren, a wealthy society woman, who has taken into her home an eighteen-year-old girl from the slums known as Patsy. Patsy is coldly received by lulia, Mrs. Warren's daughter, and her young friends, espe- cially Violet Manners who sees in this youngster a potential rival for the affections of Bob, Iulia's brother. Patsy, however, with her quaint and humorous antics soon wears down the family reserve and endears herself to everyone, particularly to Mr. Bob. The excitement comes in the second and third acts when a plotting criminal attempts to blackmail lulia. His actions are checked, however, by the clever thinking of our heroine which causes her to be misunderstood by the familyeall except Bob who by this time has learned that Patsy is the only one. The climax finds lulia confessing, the family repenting, and Patsy and Bob happy.

Standing: Marqaret Keller, Elmer Koellinq, Wilson Gibbs, Miss Ash, Robert Brindle. lTl-1 the election of the Senior officers in the spring of 1937, Senior activi- ties began early in the fall of 1937. To supervise these activities a Senior Board was formed consisting of the four class officers, the class sponsor and representatives from all other advisory groups not having class officers. The Board's duties began with the supervision of various activities which the class undertook. With the help of committees the Board was able to suc- cessfully direct the Senior Mixer on October 165 the Senior Paid Assembly on December 45 the Senior Class Play on February 8 and 9g the Senior Dinner- Dance on May 12: and Commencement on lune 3. The Board system made possible a closer relationship between the Senior activities and the students, since each meeting found the members ready to take back a report. With the nearing of Commencement various committees were formed, con- sisting of seniors who had volunteered their services. Some of the committees were Finance, Class Gift, Class Day, lnvitation, Caps and Gowns, Dinner- Dance, and Baccalaureate. These committees were subject to frequent reports to the Board.

SENIGR GRADUATES OF 1938 Bill Degits ...... ......... P resident Wilson Gibbs . . . .... Vice-President Frances Guy ........ ..... S ecretary Dorothy Malkewicz .... .... T reasurer Dorothy Malkewicz, Bill Degitz, Frances Guy, Wilson Gibbs. HREE hundred and four seniors, the largest class to ever don caps and gowns at Bloom, are passing through the portals of that institution into a larger and more complicated world of hope and opportunity. These seniors composing the class of '38 leave behind a record of great achievement. As freshmen in 1934 we entered the new Bloom building, establish- ing the record of being the first class to enter and complete four whole years in the new building. Not content with establishing one prece- dent we became the first class to organize as freshmen under the care- ful and efficient leadership of: Audrey Bahlman, presidentp Boy Tan- zer, vice-president: Iosephine Wickwire, secretaryp Mary Lennertz, treasurer. We came through the first year with flying colors. Even with such an outstanding beginning we did not find it difficult to keep up the enviable record. As seniors we find in our graduating class two City of Bloom mayors, lack Gierach and Glenn Pfeil, and two City of Bloom clerks, Mary Lennertz and Mary Rose Formentini. We leave large vacancies in such organizations and activities as the National Honor Society, National Thespians, City of Bloom, Student Affairs Board, Girls' League, Broadcaster, Bloom Annual, athletics, music, and dramatics. With such a record we find ourselves bidding adieu to the school that has taught us to strive for higher ideals and has brought us many happy memories of four short-lived years of preparation for the life into which we are entering. With Friendship our namesake we leave Bloom unwillingly but with new set hopes. Farewell, Bloom! . i11 A BOOK UF FRIENDSHIP ..l..l- Page 23
