SENIOR CLASS HISTORY by Anna Marie Menefee The class of ' 38 entered high school four years ago as a scared, green little group of freshmen. They had enthusism and original- ity, though, and proved it by overcoming their stage fright sufficiently to win first place with Barbara Root’s original class skit the night of Lemonv.lle. Under the able leadership of president Joseph Ganahl, the freshmen suc- ceeded in being well represented in almost every school activity. Six of our class mates became members of the scholarship society. Freshman girls also formed a large part of the membership of the Girl Reserves. Lc- land Cole was a most satisfactory executive board representative. Mary Joy Jameson and Jeannette Shepard upheld our reputation on the school speedball team, while we Freshies were well represented on the girl’s tennis team by Maudie Clark, Margaret Dixon, Barbara Root, and Anna Marie Menefee. Freshman boys were outstanding also. Notable among these were Lawrence Key and Billy House. Gaining rapidly in self-confidence, mem- bers of the class of 1938 were to be found in prominent positions in almost every school ac- iv ' ties included participation in such organiza- tivity during their Sophomore year. Their act- tions as Girl Reserves, Hi-Y hobby clubs, G. A. A. girl’s pep club, the A Capella Choir, girls and boys glee clubs, and in various school sports. President Kenneth Kilday showed ath- letic promise, and Delbert Cleveland and Bob Otto became our brightest stars by making the varsity football team as Sophs. Cleveland also proved his athletic prowess by entering varsity basketball and track that year. Joe Ganahl, Kenneth Kilday, Wilbur Joy, Wilbur Tomer, Ted Anderson, and Terry DeBeal al- so showed promise of future athletic fame. When we of the class of 1938 gained the rank of upper-classmen, there was no limit to our self-esteem. We find Juniors, led by Joe Ganahl again, represented in all fields of school endeavor. Our first, and probably most important act’vity was the presentation of the annual Junior play. We chose The Thirteenth Chair, a most successful mystery play. Barbara Root, Mary Joy Jameson, Virginia Norton, Robert Tilson, Terry DeBeal and Leland Cole deserve especial praise for their capablv portrayed leading roles. Two Juniors, Wilbur Tomer end Wilbur Joy were vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respec- t vely, of the lettermans ' club. Barbara Root served admirably as editor-in-chief of the Cor- onal, with efficient aid from Terrv DeBeal, Jeannette Shepard, Anita Seelye, Ellen Fr’e- stad, Margaret Dixon. and Leland Cole. The business of the Ko-Hi-Nur staff was ably man- aged by Wendell Ogden, and his assistant Bill House. Mary Joy Jameson, Marion Hendrick- son, and Maudie Clark held offices in the Girls’ league Cabinet, while June Armstrong and Jack Murray represented the Juniors on the executive board. Members of the class of 1938 also entered prominently into sports, for Junior lettermen were; in tennis, Lawrence Key, Joe Ganahl, and Bill House. Ted And- erson and Wesley Schneider proved their ab- ility in baseball, while “Turk Joy shone in track. In girls ' sports, Virginia Norton, Mary Jov Jameson, June Armstrong, and Jeannette Shepard were outstanding. As Seniors guided by Robert Tilson, the class of 1938 has ample right to feel proud of its record. Our student body president, Jean- nette Shepard, with vice-president Kenneth Kilday, secretary Maudie Clark, and treasurer Lorraine Conklin, have left a record in execu- tive ability which will be difficult to equal. The Seniors contributed several outstanding actors to the school play in March. Notable among these players; were James Pate, Harold Sullivant, Terry DeBeal, and Lou Mae Ander- son. For the first time, our class was represented on the debate squad. This was done by Mar- garet Dixon and Anna Marie Menefee. Outstanding football players were the Sen- iors Captain Kenneth Kilday, Wilbur Tomer, Wilbur Joy, and Jack Murray. Among bas- ketball s famous we rank high this year’s cap- tain, Jack Murray, Joe Danieri, Turk” Joy, and Joe Ganahl as well as the B stars Wen- dell Ogden and Wesley Schneider. Wilbur Joy. Terry DeBeal, and Jack Murray held up most of the Senior honors in track, while Ted Anderson and Wilbur Tomer showed their old technique on the base-ball field. Lawrence Key, Wesley Schneider, and Bill House were outstanding in tennis. In girls’ tennis we find the same four that began as Freshmen; Maudie Clark, Margaret Dixon, Barbara Root, and Anna Marie Menefee. Jeannette Shepard, Mary Joy Jameson.Maudie Clark, and Lorraine Conklin shared honors in other sports. G.A.A. was commendably led by the pres- ident, Virginia Norton while Barbara Root made an excellent Girls League president. Thoms Barber, Robert Neutzman, Wendell Ogden, Virginia Bess, and Raymond Harris still formed the mainstays of our excellent school orchestra. Hi-Y was ably led by presi- dent Leland Cole. Ko-Hi-Nur editor-in-chief Ted Anderson gave us a most satisfactory paper, while Ellen Friestad, as editor-in-chief of the Coronal was responsible for a very ex- cellent annual.
