I THE SENIOR CLASS O It seems but a few years from the time we entered on the terrifying adventure of our first day of school---now we are graduating, one big, happy family of undig- nified seniors who have obtained just about all we can from our twelve years in Homer Academy. But before we separate on the high roads and the low roads, let us loolc baclt and see what we have accomplished worlcing as the class, by the class, and for the class. I Of course, we may be wrong in saying so, but we feel that all our Financial undertalcings have been successes in more than one way. At our Junior Prom, we inaugurated two new ideas, a prom Icing and unique decorations consisting of hundreds of colored spotlights. The Senior Boll was a major event directed by Frederick Briggs. Throughout our four high school years, a date has been set aside each year for our class dances. O It seems proper, although rather unnecessary, to say right here that our Senior Play, 'fGoing on Seventeen , was really quite a success. As for our assemblies, we have twice come out close seconds with our travelogue and Big Broadcast of 1938. I This year, we have also followed the precedents set up by former classes in holding a Senior Mothers Banquet and in wearing caps and gowns at Com- mencement. O But now, our wandering memories have completed the circuit of our high school career, and we must return to the present. However, we hope that we have set up a few customs worth following and a few standards worth living up to in the future. ln the meantime, we have considered it an honor and a great deal of fun to be members of the Class of '38 of l'lomer Academy. Time Marches on! OFFICERS President ................ Gerald Burgett Vice-President .......... Norman Wolcott Secretary ............. Marjorie Schweirs Treasurer .... ....
