A small group of students, consisting of the English IV class and three Juniors, com- prised the 1938 Tomahawk staff. They feel the work they have done is but a minor contribution to the good of the school. It is only through the cooperation of faculty, student body, and community that this yearbook is possible. Another function of the Senior English class is the publishing of the Cats, Meow in cooperation with the Ferndale Enterprise, which furnished several columns of free space weekly. The Cats' Meow staff was changed about every six weeks so students could gain experience in all phases of journalism. Eight Club meetings each month at the respective advisors' rooms gave students a chance to participate with groups in which they were most interested. The Service Club sponsored an Old Clothes Day, sent greetings to ill members of the student body and ushered at programs. The Foreign Exchange Club held a Valentine Party and Christmas Party at the high school and started correspondence with foreign countries. The Stamp Club showed much interest in the special Ferndale cachet issued Air Mail week. Recreational Club initiated mixed sports. Photography Club developed several hun- dred pictures, some of which are shown in this book. Other clubs are discussed on pages devoted to their fields.

E llllt CLASS Ill TIIRY We go with the well wishes of the Faculty, may we carry on the ideals which they have instilled in us. We leave the shelter of our friendships with school associates, but the memory of fellowship will ease the jolts on the rough road of life. We enter business and independent citizenship in a community that welcomes our coming. Let us bring to this situation the same interest, effort, and ability that we demonstrated during our four years at beloved Ferndale High. As Freshmen we came to high school eager to explore the store of knowledge and cooperate with other students to make this a span of life we would remember forever. After being entertained by the Sophomores, our first extra-curricular activity was a dance succeeding the football rally. The following October, a class party was held in the gym mainly to create better acquaintance and closer relationship between the members. Our Sophomore year found a group wiser in the ways of good sportsmanship, well mannered citizenship, and finer scholarship. It was then our turn to entertain the incoming Freshmen, which we did with appropriate ceremonies. Of more lasting things, we purchased a large picture of the Redwoods and hung it in the library in memory of Paul Christen who drowned in Eel River in the summer of 1935. Keith Nicholson received the advisors, cup for Future Farmers, a purely scholastic award. Our Junior year probably contained more activities than any other. Pioneer Days in California was the theme of one of the most successful Junior Proms ever held at Fern- dale. Later in the year the Junior assembly program was presented before the student body. Our last act of benefit to graduates of that year was the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Ferndale Village Club, May 18. Frances Flowers received a medal for all- around activities. Campbell Miller was presented an athletic medal, a tennis cup and Block F sweater. Harlan Hansen won the California Bankers' award for FFA members. During the current year the class decided to buy a perpetual cup to be given to the most athletic girl every year, which was to be called the Alice Oliver cup, in memory of this classmate who died during her Sophomore year. Seniors have been represented in every organization in the school. They have profited from these many opportunities and also helped to build and strengthen the structure of the functions in which they participated. Awards received this year will be found on the pages devoted to the respective subjects. GRADUATION SPEECHES Science Transforming the World .......
