SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year 1926 approximately fifty students started their school life in the first grade under the instruction of Miss Pauline Kiess. Of this large number only SEVEN have become Seniors this year. These are Ann Burrows, Amy Wood, Ruth McCoy, Raymond Hays, Agnew Hils. Donald Catterall, and E. G. Bailey. As we advanced to second grade with Miss Leta Schlager as our teacher, we added Pauline Miller, Florence Raines, Lloyd Hartwig, Edna Bash, and Mavis Cline to our number. Our next year was a hard one in which we wrestled with multiplication tables which were taught by Miss Nuhn. We also added at. this time Edward Bash, Harry Hinesley, and Caldona Humphrey. During the next several years, we went steadily on until the year 1932 when we were proud to find ourselves in high school, at least it was Junior High School! And then-Freshmeng and the fun began. Here we lost E. G. Bailey for a year, but added Doris Baker, Mildred Barkley, Kenneth Barkley, Marion Risk, Frances Hoff- man, Harold Davis, Reta Milburn, Henrietta Gaines, Donna Gruber, and also Caldona Humphrey, whom we had lost in the third grade. In our Sophomore year, E. G. Bailey again joined usg while Marion Risk attended another school. to return in his Junior year... In our Senior year, Harold Keck and- Theodore Predmore became members of our class. The Class of 1938 have cooperated with the school in social events such as the' Junior-Senior Banquet and Junior Play, The Tin Hero, which they sponsored in their Junior year. This year, we are editing the Flash, as well as producing our Senior Play, Cyclone Sally. As Seniors, we can look back on our school life as having been a great source of pleasure, together with our scholastic pursuits, and feel that in going out into the world we are stronger because of the splendid guidance that has been given us by the faculty. The Senior Class officers are: President-Raymond Hays Vice President-Agnew Hils Secretary-Ann Burrows Treasurer-E. G. Bailey Reporter-Lloyd Hartwig Student Representatives-Caldona Humphrey, Donald Catterall

CLASS PROPHECY As we look to the tomorrow and see through the cities in the clouds, through the glass houses, through the cellophane, we find the Class of '38 scattered to the five corners of the world. Edward Bash we see dashing down the street, riding in a chariot of gold, drawn by sixty beautiful girls, and sitting beside him is his Juliet. Ah, Romeo! Ah, Romeo! Amy Wood, we find is private secretary to that great Radio Sponsor of Best Cake Flour-none other than Prof. J. Russell Ellis. We finally row into Mavis Cline, who is not Cline any longer. She is settled quietly in a cottage small with many-curtains at her windows. Reta Milburn is President of the w0rld's greatest and largest Information Bureau at Washington, D. C. The Bailey and Hagen family are located on a large dairy farm with a. sign out in front saying Horse Doctor and Nurse. What is this? Why it's Edna Bash. with seven feet of hair done up in a knot on her head and black rimmed glasses. She is teacher of What better students wear' and de. Raymond Hays is head of the Strikers Corporation for longer hours and less pay. We find Agnew Hils has achieved fame as Conductor of the C.H.S. Dance Or- chestra playing every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. in the H. S. Gym. Next in line we see Betty Harness with her husband-or should we say husbands- wearing those ultra-modern cellophane clothes. l Well, well, if it isn't Donald Catterall with his television radio station. He wears a mask to keep customers on the air. His fan mail averages 100,000 letters per day. And then there's Doris Baker, now only sixteen inches around the waist and grow- ing thinner every day. She does it by that well-known remedy Exercise, Mildred Barkley and brother, Kenneth, have purchased a plot of' air at S75 an acre, planning to build air castles. Next we find the three Harolds-Richards, Davis, and Keck. They are now Holly- wood's three greatest stooges. Frances Hoffman, Florence Raines, and Donna Gruber run a day nursery, taking care of small children, white mice, and poodle dogs. Pauline Miller and Ruth McCoy run a matrimonial bureau, Cures for Lonely Hearts? Any marriage arranged for 325. As we live and breathe. there's Lloyd Hartwig and Max Bozarth running a training camp for strong bodies made weak in less time. In a glass house we find Caldona Humphrey reclining after an hour of heavyf Torch Singing. About six miles from nowhere we find Theodore Predmore and Marion Risk run- ning a chicken and grain farm. Henrietta Gaines owns her own Pharmacy-serving the kind of ice cream sodas small boys dream about. . And last of all, we find Ann Burrows recuperating from the effects of beingq editor of the Annual of '38. We sincerely hope she recovers.
