ass History It was with light hearts that we, the class of 1938, impatiently awaited the opening of the doors of learning that September morn four years ago. As freshmen-104 of us-we swaggered about the school mighty proud of our contribution to the football squad-Leon Weaver and Carl Weid- man, destined to become co-captains. Of' the boys that were initiated into the Hi-Y this year, only the fittest survived. Eagerly we came back the next autumn to find ourselves one step higher on the ladder of learning-sophomores. It was in this year that our class received the twenty dollars award offered by the Ira Martin Grocery Store. In order to properly and legally guard our wealth, we organized, electing Robert Shrom, president, Nelda Keller, vice-presi- dent, Mary Jane Arters, secretaryg and Harry Steffy, treasurer. To bring about the effect of dreamy Hawaii in the 1936 Operetta, Miss Cress- man called for girls to learn how to plunk a ukelele, and boys to be pirates. The sophomores weren't missing in the production Love Pirates of Hawaii. We also responded to Tennis and Volley Ball Tournaments as well as Swimming Meets. h The maiority of us returned the following September as Jolly J uniors. What a busy year! First we decided to elect new class officers: president, Richard Ammon, vice-president, Carl Weidman: secretary, Mary Jane Artersg treasurer, Lorraine Buch. Next we selected our class colors-maroon and gold-and caps and emblems. Our pennant was designed by one of us, Olive Herzer. We started our social season with a Hallowe'en Party, and later held a New Year's Party. Then came the time to prepare for that momentous event, the Junior Prom! Committees were selected, ideas originated and plans got underway. Our prom was intended to suggest the seashore: how disappointed we were 'because the life boat wouldn?t stand! Will anything ever replace our first dance? Finally we, plus a few new members, came back last fall to bear a senior's burdens. Having chosen Earl Demmy as president: Robert Shrom, vice-president: Nelda Keller, secretary: and Romaine Hernley, treasurer, we prepared to take up our duties. We were in a social whirl planning a Hallowe'en Party, and super- vising the high school's first Christmas Dance. Laden with extra-curricu- lar activities, anxious to be present at all football and basketball games, taking care not to miss a rollerskating party, we spent a particularly un- dignified senior year. In Skidding, the first Dramatic Club production, the seniors were well representedg the Mikado boasted a large number of seniors in its cast. Many have seen their last days of fighting for the purple and gold on the high school gridiron and basketball floor. As the school year drew to a close we prepared our Class Day and Commencement activities, soon to leave the familiar cloistered halls of school to go forth into a new assignment--LIFE. 22
