HISTORY OF CLASS ,BS We, the class of 1938 were among the charter members of Harry P. Harding High School. XVe have grown with the school. As the walls and curriculum of our school expanded and im- proved. so we increased our learning and activities. Harding High School, which then contained only grades seven through ten. was opened September l8, 1935. We were in the tenth grade-and the seniors of the school . Activities started right away and soon we had a dramatic club, public speaking club, creative writing group and honor society organized. The senior class sponsored for the school an antienoise campaign and courtesy week . . . the president of our class was Dennis Scruggs, and our adviser. Mrs. l.ois Roach. The fun we had that year was really worth remembering. On Valentines Day we had a candy pull-boy, was that fun! For once. we got all the candy we could eat. On St. Patrick's Day we gave ourselves a big party in grand style . May 22, we joined the ninth grade in a picnic at Bryant Park. In June we had a formal party . . . to make money for stag: footlights, the school gave its first 'AAmateur Night . The winner was a member of our class-Maxine Watterson. ln May the senior dramatic club presented a play entitled A Scheme That l7ailed . . . as a climax to this first year at Harding. the ACORN, our year book. was published by the creative writing group. :ic vk :ir be at The next year the eleventh grade was added for our particular beneiitz and so we were again the seniors of the school . Harold Watt was our president . . . another important milestone in the progress of our school was the first publication of the Harding Hi-Lights, our monthly newspaper. There was a poem in it by Martha Mcliroom, our class poet: and Coit Troutman, our class prophet, was editor. . . Evelyn King, our great violinist, won hrst honors in that year's Amateur Program. . . ln the spring we had a weiner roast at the river. XVe had a grand time- despite the fact that we invited our teachers. Vw'e think they enjoyed it too. . . The second edition of the ACORN was published May 1937 with Doris Kleckley, editor and lirances Ramsey. business manager. . .The end of the year was filled with exams and elections for this, our senior year. Margaret Caudell was elected president of the Honor Society. The senior officers were Frances Ramsey. president: Annie K. Miller. vice-president: Elizabeth l.ail. secretary: and Harold Boyd. treasurer. Coit Troutman was elected president of student government. . . XVe closed our junior year with aswimming party at the Willimette followed by supper at the Kleckley's cabin on the river. - Pk at 1: ak ak Our senior year has been very full of plans and preparations which seniors. and only seniors can know and enjoy. Our class has learned to work together. We know what it means to share each others sorrows as well as joys. . .Here are some of the FIIOSI important events of the year-the full significance of which are our personal and prized possession: and which we will always keep even Without the aid of this printed page . . . our school paper is always important and we are very proud of it. This year the seniors have had a big part in its publications. Robert Bailey was editor. Other seniors who were on the staff are: Mary Padgett, .lohnny Mitchell, Coit Troutman, Maxine XVatterson, and Claude Kelly. .At our hrst class meeting. we elected our class day officers and appointed our commencement committees. This whole year has been devoted to the exciting tand sometimes hardl business of graduating Our senior rings arrived in October, and with them a thrill comparable to nothing else. . .Our first get-to-gether was a skating party and weiner roast . . . in November we went for a tramp through the woods . . . on De- cember 28. we celebrated the holidays with a progressive party-what fun we did have that night. . In January, C. Ci. Long. Jr., was elected president of the Student Government for the second semester. . .the senior play. one of our biggest events was given March -l. The title was Second Fiddleug the characters. C. G, Long. Jr.. Annie Miller. Mary Padgett. Doris Kleckley. Harold Boyd, Marjorie Nluse, Rebecca Oliver. Margaret Caudell and Coit Troutman. XV.: hnally got our National Honor Society charter which was granted us a year ago but through some misunderstanding had been delayed. The seniors of this society are llvelyn King, Martha McBroom. Doris Ramsey, Frances Ramsey. and Margaret Caudell. This, the third edition of the ACORN is the most important edition-at least for us it is. The seniors who worked on the staff are: Frances Ramsey. Doris Ramsey. Doris Kleckley, Martha Mcliroom, Marjorie Muse. Coit Troutman. C. Ci. Long, Jr.. and Margaret Caudell .The juniors had us fooled for a whilei but they made up for it. They entertained us royally. Vvfe thank you. Juniors. for helping to fill our senior year with more happy moments and memories The crowning events of our high school education were the commencement sermon by the Rev. XV. XV. Akers. May 19: the senior breakfast and class day May 30: and finally that one great day-May 31. l9'58-we donned caps and gowns and ruled supreme. In parting we would say. Thanks, dear Harding, for the knowledge you have given us. for the fellowship. for the joy. and for the memory of three of the most meaningful years of our lives.
