Senior Officers Geels. Treasurer: Bill Edinpton. Athletic Council: Bob McFarren. : Emerson Schlotzhauer. President: Jack McCray. Vice-President. Four Eventful Years Four eventful years ago in September, 1934, we, the Seniors of 1938, attained the ninth link in our chain of education. Several of our members took their leave to continue in other schools, but our ranks have been replaced each year with new students. Until this time, we had been pupils of the grades, but now we were at last high school students. Although our grade school days had been happy ones, we now were to experience our best times since we had entered upon our quest for education. Those of our ranks who carried us through the year were Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pres.), Bette Wibel ( Vice-Pres.) , Edith Hayes (Treas. ). Jr. Lockwood ( Sec ' y. ) , and Richard Neff (Athletic Board). We, the so-called green Freshmen, were piloted by Miss Welthy A. Shively, Miss Margaret Powers and Mr. E. R. McNown. During this time, we celebrated our flighty freshmen year with a party at the old Cherry Street Gym, where we enjoyed refreshments and a thrilling time for all. In 1935 we again took another step forward when we reached the tenth link of our chain. This was to us even more interesting than the preceding link, perhaps because we had left behind the green Fresh- men of ' 34; however, we were still looked down upon by upper classmen, even though we had passed into the stage of the soft Sophomore. We had at the head of our group Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pres.), Bob McFarren (Vice-Pres.), Edith Hayes (Treas.), Valera Mock (Sec ' y.) and Bob Sawyer (Athletic Board). Thi.s was one of our big years, and we celebrated it with two smashing parties — one in the Cherry Street Gym and the other, a weiner and marshmallow roast, at Harriet Johnson ' s. We also sponsored a show, The Prisoner of Shark Lsland, which was quite a financial success. September of 1936 brought about quite a change in our high school lives. We no longer could be looked down upon, because we, the Juniors, were now upper classmen and enjoyed the privilege of look- ing down upon the green Freshmen and the soft Sophomores. But we still were the mere shadows of the mighty Seniors, our dignified elders. However, even the Seniors had to admit we had acting ability in our class when we presented our class play, Go Ahead ; and they also had to give us credit for a very entertaining Junior-Senior Reception. We were led through this eventful year by Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pre.s.), Bob Sawyer (Vice-Pres.;, Maro Bradburn ( Treas.) , Valera Mock (Sec ' y.) and Kenneth Marshall f Athletic Board). Now, we the dignified Seniors, have reached the twelfth link of our chain and are about to bring to a clo.se our happy high .school days. We have leading us, Emerson Schlotzhauer (Pres.), Jack McCray fVice-Pres.), Marj- Geels (Treas.), Bob McFarren (Sec ' y.) and Bill Edington (Athletic Board). We are proud of our class for their achievements. In a short story contest, sponsored by the Psi Iota Xi Sorority for Senior girls, prizes were awarded to Rosalyne Heller (First), Maro Bradburn (Second) and Mildred Pursley (Third). On February 10 the Snow Fe.stival, the first of its kind, was held in honor of the Senior cla-ss. Maro Bradburn was cho.sen as Queen to rule over the fe.stivities that were a part of the program. She was at- tended by fourteen other girls of the Senior class, having an average of 90% or above for their four years. Our Senior Class Play, Button Button, directed by Mr. McNown, was presented on March 17. Now, before leaving, it is only proper that we express our gratitude for the help and the guidance we have received from our teachers; and it is our hope and aspiration that we can go on achieving and helping others because of the .start that they have given us in our lives.
