Miss Boruff and Mr. Wilson SNAPPY SO PHISTICATED SENIORS The senior covered wagon drew to a stop, and we all hopped in. The trip was fast and our gold shone in the near distance. Two late comers joined us in that last year. These were James Brier, and Dale Gcodwine. Among the important events of the year were Catastrophe Days . We had burned hands, sprained and broken ankles, and bro- ken arm. We were cursed, we thought. CT'he freshmen felt as though they were, too, when we had finished initiating them.j Remember the Junior Prom? We were honored t?J guests! With a sigh of relief, the Stevens Hotel and Chicago as a whole bid ug fare- well when we came home from our trip. Eat and be merry for tomorrow we must go home. Eva Rainwater and Winnie Brantley left us to be married. Baccalaureate was May 17. Commencement was ,May 20. Those were rainy days, fthe torrents sped down our cheeksj.

May the names be far from few That shall psss from out your portals And go on to life anew. - BYE NOW.

Class History tcontinuedb Our dancing feet flew up and down the stairs after we were promoted to the sev- enth grade covered wagon. After a little while we overcame our confusion and learned the names of all our new teamsters. Our exzitement grew, as we were permitted to give a party or two. This was the first of the two Junior High covered wagons. The eighth grade covered wagon found us more grown up than ever. With great reluctance we bade good-bye to our leaf houses and other kid stuff . The annual wein- er roasts hed begun. tMarvin Mounce, deceasedj. FUNNY FRECKLED FRESHMEN On a dark day in September, 1938, we shook down to the gym to be initiated as freshmen. We were entering the fourth covered wagon on the side of our gold. Our fright proved in vain, however, for the initiation was very gentleg and we suffered no more than a few regurgitations. Several new members entered from the hills of Warren county, and southern Benton countyg and our class numbered 49. The loyal ones of these new'uns were Mildred Hogue, Norma Smith, Thelma Redwine, Jim Orr, Ola Peterson, Edgar Dalton, Delmar Nowicki, and Bob Boswell. Mary Agnes Brouillette, and Ervelene Dowling, the flaming duet, also threw in their knapsacks with us. CLASS ORGANIZATION President ........................., Bill Lawson Vice President ....,.

Our prom succeeded, though: and, regardless of the early time it was over, many parents wondered at the late hours of their little lads and lassies. Two more- gold-seekers, Maxine Lockhart, and Helen Gottschall, tripped into our Junior covered wagon with us. What experiences they had to tell. . .,,. Aw . N Q V' 'i ' r ff: I ..
