The Microphone Published under the direction of the officers of the Senior class, May 6, 1938 Vernerd Fitzgerald President Wilfred McShane Vice President Mary Griffin Secretary-treasurer E. C. Ingvalson ....Class Advisor For the fourth consecutive year the Senior class of Ellendale High School is issuing the Microphone. The school has found in this little publication a practical way of bringing to the attention of par- ents and patrons some of the many activities of the school. Necessarily, the so-called extra-curricular activities have been stressed. Around these activ- ities the “life” and “spirit” of the school revolve. For the Senior, the Microphone will serve as an interesting and fitting souvenir of his sojourn in high school. In years to come it will revive for him memories of happy and profitable days spent in El- lendale High School. BOARD OF EDUCATION A. R. Amphlett President Edith McCoy Clerk J. V. Miles F. W.

Conferring of Diplomas Star Spangled Banner IN RETROSPECT We, the mighty Seniors of ’38, are coming down the home stretch of the road which all other Seniors before us have traveled. As we look back we see ourselves as we were in the four years of high school. As Frshmen we believed ourselves on top of the world. We tried to lord it over the eighth-graders and to appear grown up, but in the eyes of the Senior high school students we were inconspicuous. Here also we met with some new travelers who are still with us. As Sophomores we were taken down a little by the domineering Seniors of that year. They did everything possible to humiliate us and show us how childish we were. Then came the Junior year when we gained our place and stood firmly together to get the things we were working for. We became more settled and did our work well. Now we have reached the last lap of our high school journey. We are mighty Seniors and we are proud of it. We expect to do only the best things and to make ourselves successful. We are happy to step out and take our places in the world with the alumni. We are looking forward to graduation night with joyous anticipation. But, as good things come not alone, there are mingled with these happy thoughts many regrets.
