A HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF I938 Four short years ago, a group of boys and girls from various states of the Union enrolled in W. M. C. as members of the freshman class. From this motley group, some have fallen and others have joined our ranks. until today, we have a groupi of serious and energetic seniors, The Class of l938. Our first problem in this. new-atmosphere was to become acquainted with high school routine. It was not as difficult as was expected because of the pleasing contact with students and faculty. Many interesting activities occurred during our first year at Central, such as mountain trips, hikes, socials and other joyous occasions. Finally the months rolled aroundg examination were over Qpassed or otherwisebg and we bade farewell to NV. M. C., books, and friends for a few months. September opened the doors of W. M. C. and it was surprising what one summer could do to a freshman class. Here was a most intelligent group of sophomores, looking down upon those froml whose shoes we had just stepped. Our class was organized and many happy festivities were enjoyed, but with sultry days came the intense desire to be elsewhere than in the classroom. Our wishes were finally fulfilled and we again turned homeward to pursue our various means of obtaining and enjoying vacation. Surviving spring examinations and the relaxation of the summer months, the majority of the class of '38 returned as juniors in September 1936. In the organization of our class we elected Mrs. Betty Wooldridge as our President, Dorothy Lee Harrell, as Vice-President, and the offices of secretary and treasurer were filled by Mabel jenkins. Our classl sponsor, Professor C. G. Lawrence, capably filled his place and cooperated with us. Professor Lawrence gave us a lovely outing near the close of the year. Finding it customary for the juniors to entertain the seniors at two social affairs during the school year, we were soon lost in plans and anticipation of the coming events. This culminatedl in a social and a mountain trip to Lays Bridge which was enjoyed by all. june found us assuming an air of seriousness and responsibility, since we were left to take the places of the seniors then graduating. june turned to September as if by magic and we returned to pick up the reins of the senior class, and to assume as much dignity and pride as was consistent. Mrs. Wooldridge, because of her capable efficiency in leading our class the previous year was again elected president. Dorothy Lee Harrell. was elected vice-president, Geraldine Bailey, secretary, while Karl Johnson held the office of treasurer. Mrs. J. B. Childs was elected class sponsor. Our mountain trip due to unfavorable weather was enjoyed on College Hill. A fall social was a festive affair and the bacon' and egg fry proved to be a delightful event. We are looking forward to the Junior Senior affair which promises much. Our schooh days nearly finished we must? close our episode and take this opportunity to extend our heartiest good wishes to our successors. May every graduate this year, by facing life squarely and being honest with ourselves and with the world we meet, make our Alma Mater proud to call us her children. W. M. C. now you're part of us, It will be different-when zt'e've gone d lot . . We'll miss being here,' And then All the old days 'will become colorful and gay and happy Will forget all the sad things Only reineznber the glad things. Thafs as it should be Isn't it? Greater doors than these can open wide to us And may we climb for steeper broader steps But if these echoing halls could talle We would not let them say That we forgot you. Twenty-six
