Senior Class History Class Colors: ORCHID AND GOLD. Class Flower: SNAPDRAGON. Class Motto: PAY ATTENTION. ln September, 1925, a band of small boys and girls, gingerly carrying their dinner pails, entered school for the Hrst time. Soon they learned the essentials of readin', ritin' and 'rithmetic. Even then these small pupils began to display some talent and ability along various lines. Uncle Jim's Birthday Party, written by the literary genius, Ruth Heyman, and produced by a brilliant cast of fourth grad- ers, was pronounced a huge success by the wide-eyed third graders. In the fifth grade we participated in the Eisteddfod. Picture in your mind Ralph Feasby, al- most bursting with pride as a blue ribbon was pinned on the lapel of his coat. And so the years passed. Already we had progressed into the giddy stage, when every- thing was so terribly funny. Soon we had mastered enough knowledge to make a good showing in eighth year tests. Now we were Freshmen! Twenty-one girls and eight boys dashed for the spe- cial seats bythe windows, much to the amusement of the upper classmen. Dis- carding all proffered advice from the Sophs, we left the fate of the class in the capable hands of Miss McCleary, sponsor, Esten Fortney, president, Ruth Jones, vice-president, and Bonita Clem, secretary-treasurer. Even though we studied hard, we had time for the many school activities. At last our hour for upholding tradition came and long will the class of '39 remem- ber its initiation which we administered without reserve. Also in our sophomore year we demonstrated our dramatic ability by presenting two one-act plays, Oh! What a Family and When Mary Comes Home From College. October 22, 1936, was a date to be remembered. Our Junior Play, Be It Ever So Humble, was given before a large and at times sympathetic audience. Then we sailed forth to make more money for the big event, the Junior-Senior Banquet. What a time we had when we started to decorate! Boys crawled fearlessly across gym rafters and girls were completely wound-up in crepe paper and paste! The effort was not Wasted, for the Seniors seemed to enjoy the evening in our Pioneer Camp. Feeling proud and a little bit sad, We began our final year in school. Skating parties, Wiener roasts, staff meetings, basketball games, not forgetting the inter- esting classes, will all be such pleasant memories. We have continued on our way giving our best in all the school's activities. As we grow older, we will come to realize more and more how important school is and how it has made us better able to cope with the problems of the world today. -ELIZABETH Moi-IR.

Prophecy Of The Class Of '38 It was a cool evening in August. After a long day under the broiling sun, I sank into an easy chair and, eyes heavy, reached for the daily paper. At first the page seemed blurred and then a huge headline leaped at me, Hanley Breaks Non-Stop Flight Record? An exciting story told of how the 27-year-old pilot, already fa- mous for his invention of flying flivvers, had catapulted his speedy Dynaflash from 'Frisco to London at 415 miles per hour. Why, even in Convoy High School jim had shown interest in aeronautics. As I scanned the paper, I found everyone of my old classmates in the news. There was Charles Sponseller, challenging heavyweight boxer, and still famous for his fights outside of the ring as well as inside. A huge advertisement pictured Val Crabtree as a perfectly dressed gentleman and proprietor of a select men's style shop in New York with branches in London. But that wasn,t so surprising, Val had been a veritable men's model at school. In the sport section, Bob Campbell's picture grinned at me. Ah! He pitched a no-hit game for New York Midgets. Spike had created a stir in baseball news in April by holding out for 545.-He took 538. And on the same page, racing news stated that Lola Sheets had set a new A. A. A. woman's record in the 300- mile cross-country run, using the standard stock model car-a V-8. On the photo page appeared a beautiful portrait of Dorothy Carrier, editor of the column, Advice to the Lovelorn, painted by Artist Vincent Muntzinger, who plays pro-basketball in the winter. Under a social heading, I saw the announcement that Paul Baxter, retiring farmer, had bought a luxurious mansion at the edge of Fort Wayne. RADIO PROGRAM: Miss Genevieve Klein will speak on How to Win Friendsf' Miss Klein has a large following and the listeners are attracted by her charm and power of speech. Then at 9:15 Annabelle Rummel, Metropolitan Opera Star, will give a concert from Philadelphia. Another interesting item was the description of Ralph Feasby's phenomenal success. Attracting the attention of a radio scout who heard his tenor solo on a local program, he was offered a position on a Sunday evening musicale with a nation-wide hook-up and millions of listeners. NEWs FROM HOLLYWOOD! Long-term contracts were given to Gladys Cox and Helen Savieo. Gladys is still the tiny, alert girl we used to know and Helen is equally attractive with her poise and quiet smile. Never very far from Gladys is Kate Krugh, who is employed as the star's agent, and Nora Etzler is Helen,s efficient maid.
