THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1938 Compiled by Vernon Ilupp, Raymond Ellir, Greta Oknzan, P. Lupien From 1934 to 1938, vast changes have altered the course of the world, nation, city, and school. During that period, our class of more than four hundred students have beheld great changes in our school. During the same period the people of the world have seen the map of the world made over, science and transportation advance, and new arts and music appear. Let us consider these in our review of the past four years. Burnside, Curtis, and lyfount Vernon four years ago received the students with whom we are concerned. The IVorld's Fair of 1934 was drawing to a close, but the UI willf' spirit of Chicago as advocated by the Fair was retained by the new freshies. That this indominatable spirit has lived on is shown by the large honor groups, the many awards gained, the school letters earned, and the outstanding achievements of the 4A student body. During our first semester the Fenger football team fought its way into the City Finals and then was defeated by Lindblom. hfany of those fellows who were spectators at this game were to battle in the semi-finals and finals against Tilden and Austin in '36 and A37. The Curtis branch contributed its bit in the presentation of 'fThe Chimes of Normandyl' with Dr. Knight at the baton. In doing so a musical precedent was established which has been followed annually. The Courier and Quill and Scroll Literary Contests drew many of the new members of the school, who meeting with success, have continued from year to year to carry off many literary awards. In the Courier Literary Contest Robert O'Brien, George Lockwood, Royce Bfunro, lifarie Ryan, Nfalcolm Stephen- son, and Nicholas Vanderhfeer received recognition. A group of earnest musicians began their musical careers in the Nfount Vernon junior band in the fall of 1934. Under Mr. Burnhamis direc- tion, they rapidly advanced in musical ability and, upon entering the main building, joined the Senior Band and Orchestra. Those members graduating from the band who were members of that begin- ning hlount Vernon band are Betty Archibald,Raymond Ellis,Alvin Friedsarn, and Theresa Klaus- ner. In the consequent contests both the orchestra and band were each awarded two excellent rating plaques. In the main building they were soon initiated into the mysteries and life of an actual high school. Sorre entered clubs, a number of the boys joined the R. O. T. C., while those boys especially fitted tried out for the various teams, football, basketball, swimming, and wrestling. The newly formed Girls' Cheering Section received a number of the new sophomores and, as each semester has passed, this club has grown in numbers and importance. In the musical group many students who progressed rapidly later, shyly sought membership in the glee clubs and choruses. Their debut was made November 16 on radio station VV. D. when they sang with the Rfixed Chorus. In 2A the school work took on a new and interesting aspect. New and varied courses were open to them and thus an era of greater enjoyment and achievements began. Extra-curricular activities and recognition of outstanding attainments in scholarship took on a new meaning for many of the sophomores this year. The first annual Amateur Show was given with great success. The Youth Wieek program, with a large representation of sophomores, was a great success. Our football team and junior Basketball Five both captured the South Section Championships for'36 and '37. The junior swimming team also took the section in I35. The year before, second rating in the city was the award won by Coach Palmer's wrestling team, and last year they took second place in the city, and third in the state competition. Thus time rushed on. New clubs were formed and prizes won. The R. O. T. C. unit at Fenger for the first time in its history became an honor school. The debaters met Hirsch, hforgan Park NI. A., Parker, and Lane, sometimes victorious, sometimes defeated, but always undaunted. The Stamp Club carried away all of the stamp awards each semester from the Lion's Hobby Show. Band concerts and Orchestra Varieties shared honors with the 2nd and 3rd annual Amateur Shows. These events became more spectacular and many of their musicians, dancers, singers, and comedians claim membership in the '38 graduating class. The Drama Club contributed its share in the successful presentation of The Eyes of Tlalocw and The Youngest. In this same period certain students achieved other honors for themselves and their school. john Ryan won the Lincoln Essay Contest, Charles Kiefer the Washington Essay Contest, and George Olson the William C. Gorgas Essay Contest, Raymond Ellis and Nadia Charydchak in the League of Nations Contest. Four of our group, Patra Bauer, Raymond Ellis, Greta Ohman, and Sam Zafros, have kept the record necessary to retain permanent possession of their Phorex pins, no mark below E for seven semesters, while one of these, Greta, is the only tri-honor student graduating with our class. Alvin Friedsam was elected president of the '38 chapter of the National Honor Society, to which eighteen 4A's have been chosen. Robert McConnachie took over the duties of vice-president, Charles Kiefer secretary, and Constance Guyatt those of treasurer. Cffontinued on page 321 fs 7 GE S ag, 1 f
