Freshman Class On September 6, 1938, we, the largest class ever to enter Elkins High School, started our four-year journey. For the first few days we were so bewildered we could scarcely find our way around. Soon, however, we entered with a will into school life by electing our class officers as follows: President, Charles Kyleg Vice-President, Zan Whiteg Secretary- Treasurer, Carl Payne, and a bundle of energy, Lor- aine Snyder, as our cheer leader. We have accomplished much which disproves the idea held by the upperclassmen that we are below their notice. We have contributed two lettermen to the football squad, we gave a dancing act at Stunt Nite, more subscribed than any other class to the K'Tiger Cub, and in addition we have had a greater number of stu- dents on the honor roll than any other class. We firmly believe that Elkins High School should be proud of its 1939 Freshman Class. Our class advisers are Mrs. Irene C. Wimer, Mrs. Anna C. Moore and Mr. Iesse Stewart.

However, they have put forth their best efforts to make a book which will be of interest to the majority of people. Much credit is due to the staff which has labored the entire year to publish this book. Loud praise should be given to the edi- tors, leanne Albert and Margaret Mauck, who have worked untiring- ly doing the many tasks connected with editorship. The true credit goes to Miss Cleo Digman, supervisor of the staff, for, she is the essential figure in the publishing of the Tiger.,l The staff was chosen by Miss Digman last fall and since that time she has worked daily in order to make the project successful. She has willingly and wisely guided the staff through the entire year, giving valuable information and help to any who need it. The Tiger Staff, as well as the Senior Class, wishes to thank Miss Digman for her kind and constant supervision in helping to make this year,s book a success. Though the entire staff should be given full recognition for all they have done, we feel that special mention should be made of Dorothy Perkins, for she, as co-editor of the feature sections, has vividly portrayed her artistic ability in planning the features of the Tiger. She also Wrote all the poetry found in this book. The staff and the Senior Class recognize Dorothy's ability and wish to take this opportunity to thank her for her fine cooperation with the staff and her excellent contributions to the Tiger.,, Tenge Twenty Nzne
