ll-lllESPlElRllAN 1938 Introducing the Senior Class After much burning of the midnight oil, we hav-e come to the con- clusion that ours may not be the smartest class, yet it certainly isn't the dumbest class in the annals of Hoquiam high school. Variety is the spice of life, so when the police force suggested that we have our finger prints recorded and convinced us that the oper- ation was a painless one, we complied with alacrity. It may have been a premature case of spring fever that caused a sudden lapse in class attentiong however, th-e teachers had the idea that it might be defective hearing. Before we knew it, Mrs. Hood bore down on us with some queer-looking gadgets similar to earphones and proceeded to test our hearing. It soon became known that there was nothing wrong with our ears- the teachers won again. The adjective monotonous could never be used in describing the activities of the class of '38. We were not content with conventional class colors, but we chose brilliant gold, with a slight touch of brown. After this beginning, the entire year seemed destined to be a parade of flam- boyant colors. As one would expect, the girls were the first to appear in gaudy, multi-colored apparel in the form of peasant scarfs. The boys j eered at this feminine whim, but they must have thought it a good idea for soon they were wearing bright plaid shirts. At this point it became a battle royal. To begin the fireworks, the girls wore exaggerated peas- ant dresses, the boys, not to be outdone, but feeling just a little self-con- scious, appeared in loose beer jackets. The climax was reached at the H club dance when both boys and girls came clad in wildly colored pa- lookas. Such lack of convention is to be expected of girls, but the pay off is seeing dusky maidens under swaying palm trees, or vivid pansies on a deep blue background adorning brawny shoulders. As the years progress we shall remember a few outstanding mem- bers such as Eldon Reece, who stands head and shoulders above everyone else. If our memory is at all trustworthy it seems that Eldon Reece has always towered way up that, and for that reason he has been sergeant- at-arms for the past four years. Running a close second is long-legged, smiling Norman Walker, who, in his junior year, caused both coaches and fans to sit up and take notice as he fought his way up to center position on the first basketball squad. Norm kept right on fighting, and this year earned for himself a place on the all-state second team, plus the honorary captaincy of the Grizzly squad. In football, Sam Satlow distinguished himself by being chosen as all-southwest guard. This is an honor, indeed, for you may remember that Sam was always handicapped by a bird cage which he wore to pro- tect his glasses.
