eniou lack Bohnenstiehl, and Lew Taggart were on the team. Bill Shea, Kenny Bloomer, Orville Heinicke, Russ Giger, and Norman Paul represented us actively on the basket- ball floor. Norm Paul and Kenny Bloomer earn- ed letters in tennis during this y'ear. While our interests in athletics and social life were being cultivated, Estelle Christopher and Bob Greaves upheld our fine scholastic standing. These two people had receivel straight A's since they had entered high school. Tempus fugitl Even though half of our high school days were gone, pleas- ant memories would always remain. Miss Weber was appointed as one of our class sponsors for this year. The first action taken by the class as juniors was the election of class of- ficers. Paul Pfaff, president, Kenneth La Surs, vice presidentp Regina Wenzel, secretary: and Deloris Block, treasurer, were elected to serve us for this year. The social highlight of the year, the Coronation of the football queen, took place in the football bowl the evening of the twelfth of October. Lovely Doris Bieser, escorted by Paul Pfaff, was sec- ond maid of honor as representative of our class. On March 19 the juniors held a lively and gay class party in the gym. The greater part of the evening was spent in dancing. Dramatic talents were displayed with our class presentation of Remember the Day, on December first and second. Then came the incident we had been dreaming about since we were fresh- men, the junior-senior prom! On May 6 the upper-classmen entered the gym which was hardly recognizable, for it had been transformed into the garden of a Southern mansion. Dancing to the tuneful music of Boots Wilhauk's or- chestra was the principal entertainment of the evening. Paul Pfaff, a star football player since his freshman days, was elected foot- ball captain for the '38 season. Paul was also named on the all-conference football team and Lew Taggart re- ceived honorable mention. Orville Heinicke was elected captain of the basketball team for the '38-'39 season. In tennis Norm Paul and Kenny Bloomer again earned letters. Bill Shea and Russ Giger were also given letters for their fine Work on the courts. Tempus fugit! On September first, one hundred eighty-six would-be sophisticated seniors entered this, our last year in C.T.H.S., with the desire to make it the most pleasant and memor- able of our high school career. To guide us through the year Ray Castello was elected president: Frank Smith, vice president: and Emil Biett- chert, secretary-treasurer. On the afternoon of November 23 the heralding of trumpets announced the coming of the new football queen, charming and vivacious Irene Iokerst, escorted by Captain Pfaff. That evening, Thanksgiving Eve, the annual class party was held. Dancing was the principal entertainment. Orville Heinicke was awarded a berth as guard on the All-Conference basketball team, and Kenny Bloomer gained honorable mention as forward. Miss Weber and Miss Brede, with the aid of Mr. Koelling, have very ably guided us through the year. The annual home-coming dance, class play, junior-senior prom, and hobo day brought this year almost to a close. Commencement is the final school activity of the seniors. Whether we enter college or go into the business world, we are approaching new fields of opportunities. These ventures may be more successful because of our activities in high school, both academic and extra-curricular. To the juniors we leave our scholastic and athletic abil- ities. May they use them wisely and well! -MARY IANE RANKIN SEVENTEEN

en ZOU W is FRANK SMITH ' RAY CAsTELLo EMU. BIETTCHERT Four very short years ago we, two hundred forty-nine young and frighten- ed individuals, registered as freshmen, anxious to begin our high school career. Miss Dodd and Miss Schroeppel came to our rescue and very ably helped us make adjustments to our new and strange surroundings. After we became sufficiently acquainted to call each other by name we elected Albert Bethel, president: Irene Iokerst, vice president: Doris Bieser, secretary: and Bill Shea, treasurer of our class. With October came all the weird ghosts and goblins and with them the traditional freshman Halloween party. During the formal ceremony of the crowning of the football queen, popular Loretta Metzger served as third maid of honor. limmy Condometti earned a varsity letter in track during this year, a rare achievement for a neophyte. SIXTEEN Tempus fuqit! We began our sopho- more year with more poise and self- assurance, for we were no longer un- accustomed to our environs. And weren't we proud that now we were al- lowed to sit in the opera seats during assemblies! This year Orville Heinicke was elect- ed class presidenty lohn Taylor, vice president, losephine Tonso, secretary: and Saleska Pederzolli, treasurer. Miss Brede replaced Miss Dodd as one of our class sponsors. Miss Schroeppel carried on from last year. Because our social as well as our scholastic activities must be developed, all the sophomores gathered in the gym on February l3 for the annual dance, the Valentine party. Interest in football was heightened by the fact that such athletes as Paul Pfaff, Wilfrid Hess, Albert Bethel, Mel- burn l-laneline, Bill Shea, Bob Greaves,
