CLASS HISTORY Evenlt of great consequence often spring from trifling cirr1m1xtances.U-Livy During four varied and colorful years the class of 1938 has progressed through Gettys- burg High School, devoting many hours to study, work and play. We realize that we have found pleasure, knowledge and experience in this Hall of Education, and hope that we have left it enriched by the contact. Surprisingly rapid has been our progress from initiates to potentates. There was a time, fresh in memory but immeasurably distant, when we were Freshmen, when we first made uncertain entry into the awesome High School. Class spirit was kindled that fall. Under the sponsorship of Miss Spangler we effected organization and chose as officers for the year, president, William Waltemyer, vice-president, Anna Larson, secretary, Lyla Mary Smith, and treasurer, Jean McC1eaf. With spring came the annual party. This event was first postponed due to a measles epidemic. Late in May, however, we had our good time, increased by the enforced delay. The next year, another period of steady plugging, brought more class projects. Robert Troxell was elected president, Betty Frazee, vice-president, Lucille Grimm, secretary, and Paul Fox, treasurer. Our slogan became Find a way, or make one. We chose the colors, brown and gold, and the brown-eyed susan as flower. Class pennants and emblems were secured. A second time the class party was postponed, this time because of bad weather, and once again the success of the affair was unquestionable. After the summer's refreshing vacation the class of '38 vigorously renewed its high school work. This year brought a change. Routine studies were off-set by extra-curricular activities. As a class we hrst selected officers: President, Arthur Roth, vice-president, Charles Bollinger, recording secretary, Jean Zeiglerg corresponding secretary, Anna Larson, treasurer, Paul Fox. Next we entered into a spirited discussion over the selection of rings. This year we were for- tunate in having a Christmas party prior to the traditional class party. On the day before the Christmas vacation an exceedingly happy group of Juniors met in the cafeteria to eat, sing, and enjoy the entertainment provided. Pollyanna, the junior class play, was an important event in the year's activities. Before a capacity audience Jean McCleaf starred in the title role, ably supported by the following cast: William Waltemyer, Lyla Mary Smith, Dorothy Dunkelberger, Viola Hess, Doris Ann Day, Kathryn Warner, William Rice, Robert Deardorff, john Saby, Frederick Wentz and Lawrence Eckert. This old-time favorite depicted the adventures of the Glad Girl as she spread cheer in the lives of all the folks with whom she came in contact. In the realm of sports Robert Deardorlf, Walter Maust, Samuel Swope, Winton Redding and others represented our class well. Lucille Grimm and Robert Deardorff with a number of helpers took over the editorship and management of the Maroon and White. Arthur Roth assumed the editorship of the paper in the fall of 1937 when Lucille Grimm transferred to another school. With these and similar service projects the class of 1938 brought to completion three fruitful years of progress as underclassmen in Gettysburg High School. Within this book will be found testimony to the varied activities that our class members engaged in during the last year spent in our be- loved high school. 1121
