Edwin Bryan. Dale Bush. Robert Cheney. Gail Darby. Douglas Dillon. Douglas President’s Message We. the class of '38, are beginning to recognize the obligations that normal growth and advancement through the high school have thrust upon us. Consequently we look forward to the next year as one giving us op- portunity effectively to continue to enlarge our experiences through new and more advanced classes, new friends, and through the number of school activi- ties now denied us. It is our hope that as a class we shall be able sturdily to meet the prob- lems that always confront a class, and that we may discharge our responsi- bilities in such a manner as to reflect favorably upon the class, the school, and our community. However, it is with regret that we see the eighth and early ninth grade years behind us. After all. we have had a good time and expect to work together equally well in the future as we have in the past with our capable 1 faculty advisor. Frances Wildern. Dai : Bryan.

At the first of the year we held a meeting and elected the class officers as follows: President. Harold McGinnis; vice president. Chadwick Butterfield; secretary. Gordon Nielson: and treasurer. Marjorie Riley. We are very proud of one member of the class. Walter Crampton, who has been popular with the students with his guitar and cowboy songs. The class has not been very active in social affairs of the school, but I don’t think the class as a whole has caused very much trouble throughout the year. We hope to do better next year in activities and when we graduate. I am sure that we will be able to say that we have lived up to the class motto. We Do Our Best.” Harold McGinsik.
