CRUX-HI-SKAN At the middle of the year four boys were taken into the Hi-Y Club. These four were Jerrold Roush, Marion Wolfe, Bob Fleming, and Herman Walsh. Several of the girls were taken into the Sokol and Future Homemakers clubs. In all sports this class was represented by several of the members. Genevieve Kuhn won first place in the sectional contest for Typing I. Five of the students took part in the Athens Dis-trict Scholarship Tests. Four out of five of the contestants placed. In the transition from the sophomore to the junior year the class again lost members. The enrollment was forty-five. This year the girls were eligible for membership in the Ifka Club. Early in the fall 25 were taken into the club and during this year worked hard to make the club a success. James Eveland was taken into the Hi-Y Club and two of the boys made officers. As junior class officers Herman Walsh was elected president; Harriett Keates, vice-president; and Lucille Boone, secretary-treasurer. One of the outstanding events of this year was the Junior-Senior Prom. Again this class helped to make up the team for the Scholarship tests at Athens. Those who participated were Lucretia Bess, Virginia Ellis, Marjorie Flickinger, Bob Fleming, Herman Walsh, and James May. Virginia Ellis took first place in the Sectional Commercial Contest for Shorthand I. Three of the students were given parts in the glee club operetta, “The Dizzy Baton.” The class has been well represented in both the girls’ and boys’ glee clubs all during its high school history. Those students interested in dramatics were thrilled when the announcement was made for the try-outs for the junior class play, “The Million Dollar Butler”. Eleven students were given parts and the rest of the class worked hard to make it a success. The proceeds were used for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. For the third year the girls were interclass champions. Many fast and exciting basketball and volley ball games were witnessed by spectators during the year. The year of dignity, the high-school end of the road, found forty-three members of the Class of 1937 enrolled. Dale Allton entered the class at the beginning of the second semester. Carroll Steele decided to work for the completion of certain courses rather than a diploma. Lucille Boone was absent all year for treatment at the Rocky Glen Sanitorium but kept up her work and graduated with the class. In all there were 43 candidates for diplomas. Herman Walsh was elected president of the class for this important year; Robert Fleming was elected vice-president; and Joan Brown, secretary. The class chose as its colors, silver and blue; the flower, American beauty rose; and the motto, “Small is the diploma, but mighty is the effort to win it.” The next most important event was the organization of the History “B Club. The officers were president, Marjorie Flickinger; vice-president, Virginia McKinney; secretary, Elizabeth Bauman. Four more members were taken into the Hi-Y and Herman Walsh, president, was the senior who headed all the activities. Again they were outstanding in the extra curricular activities. They had several members in the glee club and orchestra. Several of the students portrayed parts in the glee club operetta, “Shooting Stars.” One afternoon three persons were honored by being taken into the National Honor Society. These three were Lillian Frash, Virginia Ellis, and Herman Walsh. Only too soon were they coming in their travels close to the cross-roads—each student going straight ahead on the road to success, hoping that all underclassmen will follow in his footsteps and remember that— Lives of great men all remind us We can ma e our lives sublime. And departing leave behind us. Footprints on the Sands of Time.

SENIOR OFFICERS HERMAN WALSH, President. ROBERT FLEMING, Vice President. JOAN BROWN, Secretary-T reasurcr. CAROLYN DILLEHAY, Advisor. WALSH FLEMING DILLEHAY BROWN HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Let us pause for a moment in the whirl of this busy world and look back upon the record of the class of 1937. From the east, west, north, and south came fifty-four happy children to enroll in the seventh grade. Going to school beside the high school made them a proud group of children. They had no more than settled down than they were called to go on to the eighth grade. This year a few new pupils were added. Five of the members portrayed parts in the junior high play, “Pollyanna.” This year the students worked hard to prepare for the thing which they had looked forward to for eight years, a high school student. In 1934 there were sixty-eight freshmen to start on the race for that worth while goal, a high school diploma. This was a large and intelligent class, which seemed worthy to do battle for its Alma Mater and early showed signs of that spirit that was later to make it respected by the underclassmen. The first job of these timid freshmen was to organize. As president they chose as their leader, Virginia Ellis. Herman Walsh was made vice-president, and Mary Thompson, secretary and treasurer. In that year Harriett Keates, Virginia Ellis, Robert Fleming, and Herman Walsh were elected to Student Council. The class was well represented in football and basketball. This same year the girls won the inter-class volley ball championship. Some of the class were seen in the glee club “Garden Minstrel”. When the class returned in the fall of 1935, there was the usual decrease in the enrollment, only fifty-three began the sophomore year. In the process of reorganizing the following officers were elected: Mary Thompson, president; Harriett Keates, vice-president; Lucille Boone, secretary-treasurer. Again Virginia Ellis, Herman Walsh, and Robert Fleming represented the class in Student Council. June Day was the fourth elected member, and Billy Kenny was there as basketball manager. The sophomores were very proud of June Day, Elda Oakley, Robert Fleming, and Jim Eveland for their fine performances in the glee club operetta, “And It Rained . Again this year the girls won the interclass basketball and volley ball championships. 1957
