NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGHT MEMO Senior Class History HE Class of 1938 launclled its meteoric career in high school as Sophomores of the Fountain Hill Junior-Senior High School. At the outset of our initial year as high school students, we, as undergraduates, were deemed too lowly to aspire to the privilege of electing class officers for the current year. Thus, when we entered our Sophomore year, we were at a twofold disadvantage since, besides the above, we had no senior class to guide us along the way. 1 The inauguration of the twelfth year of high school at Fountain Hill severed all hopes that our class would follow in the foot- .steps of our predecessors. In accordance with the custom of junior classes the following ofhcers were elected for the ensuing year: Chester Klotz, presidentg George Spangenberg, vice presi- dent, Marion Muhr, secretaryg James Moyer,'treasurer. Our Junior year was a most exciting one, with thelfollowing events standing out in our memories: the Jundra Club production of three one-act plays under the able coaching of Miss Kathryn Deily, and the high-light of the entire Junior year, the Junior Prom, which found most of the Junior debs in their first evening gowns and the boys in their best bib and tucker. Our Junior year was brought to a dramatic close with the receiving of our class jewelry in time to sport it at our Junior Prom. seventeen

MEMOIRS NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGH September 8, 1937 ushered in a new era of learning for us as Seniors, when we marched through the portals of the new and magnificent Fountain Hill High School for the first time. Our entrance into the new school also ushered in a new set of student rules and regulations such as: no loitering, no gum chewing, no date making in halls, and no two-way traffic. All in all we had a swell time. With the aid and assistance of our ever-faithful faculty we finally mastered the one-way traffic and learned how to jimmy our lockers. After the first few days of hubbub had subsided, we settled down to real business and elected the following officers for the Senior Class: Frank Mohap, president, Edward Mittal, vice- president, Marion Muhr, Secretary, Francis Bender, treasurer. Our Senior year at high school was the most enjoyable of all. We sponsored many successful functions including the sensational Class Minstrel, Shirt Sleeves, Geraldine Snyder's Dance Revue, theater benefits, and the Senior Ball. The close of the Senior year found us in the usual hustle and bustle of being fitted for caps and gowns, thus consummating our high school years, which, we are sorry to state, went faster than anyone had anticipated. It is with regret that we terminate these happiest days of our lives, bearing this thought in mind - that we, the Senior Class of 1988, are the first Senior Class to graduate from the newly erected Fountain Hill High School.
