I-listory of the Class of M938 - - Time, unheeding and relentless, rushes on, now as the class of '38 stands on the threshold of departure, its history has been written and we can say with pride that it has taken a prominent and con- structive part in high school life. May the following lines be, in the future, an aid to our recollections of four happy years together. In the fall of the year 1934 there entered the portals of Washington High School 675 seekers of knowledge to be hence- forth known as the Class of '38. Talent and ambition walked hand in hand and it was not long before the members of the Class made their presence felt in ath- letics, in drama, in forensics, and in all student activities. The Freshman foot- ball team, under the excellent supervision of Coach Bill Hawke, turned in a fine record of ten wins and two ties, topping the season with a spectacular 6-0 victory over the highly touted Centerville eleven. In basketball our team repeated their performance by winning the intra-mural league race and defeating Freshman teams of other cities by outstanding scores. The Copper Call, the Freshman publi- cation, under the sponsorship of Miss Lucille McQuaig, showed that the Class of '38 had literary talent and business ability as well as physical prowess. The year passed quickly but the Freshmen had established the.mselves well. Returning as Sophomores to old Butte High, their number somewhat thinned but with the same old pep, the class immediately organized and elected class officers. Later in the term Bernice Archer, the President, left school, and Vice-President George Watson took over the office. Miss Elderkin and Mr. Brad- ford were elected class advisers. The members were as aggressive as ever and the names of our classmates shone bright- ly in school activities and in scholarship. The Junior year was one of the most successful. At the first class meeting held Bob Sparks was ele-cted Presidentg Margueritte Kane, V ice-President, Eliza- beth Goyette, Secretary, and Ruth Han- son, Treasurer. It was during this year that Betty Raymond won the first award in the State Declamation Contest held at Missoula, and Tom Wilkinson was a member of the Butte debating team which narrowly lost the decision in the State finals. The Junior Prom, a social event of the School year held at the Columbia Gardens, was the scene of gay music, flashing colors, pomp and splen- dor, an occasion of much enjoyment long to be remembered. The class assembled for its final year 385 strong, the same class officers being retained. The football season was one of continuous victory, thanks to the abil- ity of graduating seniors, ably assisted by underclassmen. Butte High was again State Champion. The Senior play, Pride and Prejudice, was a brilliant success. At the close of the semester, the old Butte High School, occupied since 1896, was left behind, and students and teach- ers took up their work in the new million dollar building. It was the privilege of the Senior class to be guides during the Open House held there January 8, 1938, and theirs the privilege of being the first class to graduate from the new building. In sports, as in social life, the Senior class was the leader. The captains of all sports were seniors and the class was well represented in band, glee clubs and orchestrag they were leaders in the Senate-, the Science Club, girls' clubs and all school activities. Bohunkus Day, the Seniors' own, was fittingly and hilar- iously observed. They did more than uphold tradition with their unique pro- gram and costumes heretofore unequaled in cleverness and originality. And so with the Senior Banquet and graduation approaching, four years of labor, joy, and excitement draw to a close and we leave this unparalleled record as an inspiring example for other classes to follow.
