SABATTIE ANNABELLE SALLE LUCILLE SCHROEDER ll'IAROLD SPEARS JTUNIUR CLASS Three years ago the members of the class of '38 were shy, timid freshmen just beginning their high school career. Now, enrolled in the class of '38 are one hundred sixtyffive Juniors, who have almost completed their third year of high school. During all this time, our faithful and capable adviser, Miss Cronacher, has worked diligently. The counsel she has given and the time she has spent toward the betterment of the class of '38 is noteworthy, and we are truly grateful for the interest she has taken in us. During the past year, Miss Cronacher has acted as chairman of an advisory committee, consisting of the Junior home room teachers. These teachers, also, we wish to thank for their services to us. The president of the Junior class, john Sweeney, has also been a worthy leader. Bill Cox is the vice president, as secretary, Audrey McKee has taken the class notes, Rosemary Roberts has filled the position of an able treasurer. The Junior Class is well represented in the athletic field. Its athletes are Carl Terry, Glenn' Barber, Stanley Lynd, Raymond Jarrell, Ralph Payne, Charles Lanham and Max Myers. These boys have been both football and basketball heroes, X flll!'j'1'JJ if 'IVA Scholarship is one of our outstanding achievements. The Class of '38 has particif pated in the district state scholarship tests for the past three years, each year doing its best to help Ironton High rank among the first. A great deal of business ability was displayed in the refreshment stand during the football season. This business venture was continued throughout the basketball season. The junior dramatic ability was brought into the spotlight with the presentation of the class play, Girl Shy, April 2. Many hours' toil on the part of the cast, the stage help, the advertising committee, the ticket committee, Miss Cronacher, and the other members of the class of '38 made the Junior play a great success. Do you remember the evening of December 4? Think hard! Of course you do! How could anyone possibly forget that gala occasion? That was the date of the Junior dance. It was one of the most outstanding social events of the year. Every' body had a grand time! The scene changes. Everything has turned vvhite. The winter wonderland was the setting for the Junior Senior Prom., held in the high school gymnasium on May 28. The Juniors were hosts and hostesses to the Seniors, and the members of the Faculty. Dancing to the strains of the King's Jesters Orchestra continued from nine till one. XSUPHUMURES President ....., . . .BILL FREEMAN , Vice President .. ...MARJORY WALLER Secretary .. .....

Mr. Gallagher has been our head coach for four years, and in that time he has built up our teams from a comparatively average standard to heights attained by few schools of our size in Ohio. He has been the boys' ideal and will not be forgotten by any who have Worked under him. Sereno Shafer Mr. Shafer came to us the same year that Mr. Gallagher did. Mr. Shafer acts as line coach and has proved himself as one of the best. He has been a shining example of capability and loyalty.

S. football team is a unit. Each position is filled with a boy who is doing his best for the team. In the above picture, the 1937 unit is shown. This unit consists of many more than eleven boys. In the picture you can see the thirtyfseven boys and the coaches, all of whom are responsible for the successful season. The extra players form the part of the team that takes daily punishment from the varsity and it is through their opposition that the rough edges are shown and erased from the varsity team. Among these reserves there are several seniors. In order that these seniors may not graduate Without receiving the credit that is due them, and, in order to honor these reserves with the varsity, the group picture is taken. These boys deserve much credit for the season they had. They played eleven games, won eight, tied two, and lost but one. They upheld the record that was made by the great team of 1935. In the eight home games, they were undefeated, and in sportsmanship, clean playing, and ight they were unsurpassed by any team. The schedule with results follows: Ironton ............

S. colors through eleven games and also carried the orange and black to the most distant scene of battle in the history of the team, It was only through a frown of Lady Luck that these boys lost their only game- Portsmouth. Their hardest game was with Dayton Steele. This was one of the tie games and showed that I. H. S. produces plenty of determination. The team includes. ENDS: JOHN SHAFER- Shafe was captain-a good one too. It was his backing up the line that spelled doom for many smart plays. STANLEY LYND-Buck played the type of football that netted him the honor of cofcaptain for next year. TACKLES: CHARLES HERRELL-The Blonde Bomber smeared many a play for I. H. S. He will be missed on the forward wall next year. DARRELL CALESH-Cales played as a reserve for several years and took his opporf tunity when it came. He developed into a valuable man. GUARDS: FRANK VALENTINE-Ffamk drifted in from Tiffin, Ohio just to help us in the fall of '36. He has drifted out again and is now in Akron. Good Luck Vall DICK PLEASANTE Pleas. played with the undefeated team of '35 and was well trained for the good work he did in '3 6. A CENTER: JOHN HAMILTON-Hamilton played several reserve positions before he found himself at center. Once there, he did a great job. QUARTERBACK: WESLEY MCAFEE-Dubby followed in the footsteps of umpteen other Mc' Afees. He had a high mark tolshoot at and aimed well. HALEBACKS: GLENN BARBER- Barb was small, but full of iight and dynamite. His playing A earned him the honor of being cofcaptain in '37. HOBART ROYAL-Hobe could produce more thrills than a pack of race horses. His running was a feature of many games and he was backed by many for ' AllfState honors. FULLBACK: CARL TERRY-Terry is the fullfback who runs the 100fyd dash for the track team. His name was dreaded by many teams. Watch him next year! 4 Highlights of 'che '36 Season The football season in '36 opened with something new in the way of football games. A double header was played. In one evening the Tigers defeated Kermit, W. Va., and Pedro, Ohio. This game gave the coaches a chance to loo k the boys over and to determine which ones would be the most useful in the didferent positions. The boys played in fair weather until the night of the Jackson game. On that evening they had a swimming meet on a football field. The slippery ground put every one of Terry's 200 pounds in the height of its glory. He played bne of his best games to help Ircnton defeat a stubborn Jackson team. The Dayton S also played in the mud. Will those Tigers ever forget how heavy nl 1' 17 CE. The week following the Steele game Ironton played Portsmout came at a bad time. The team was in poor shape for a major game ai The Portsmouth game is an example of what coaches often tell game is never over until the gun has been shot. In that game, Iron and failed to convert, Portsmouth scored and added the point, th scored to lead 12f7. But in the last minute of play a costly fumble, report of a gun, gave the Trojans the final tally, ending the game 14-' that were shed in the Ironton dressing room that night probably caus flood. The season ended successfully as the Tigers journeyed to Ellwood teele game was uddy uniforms h. This game 'ter battling the Dayton footballers. However, they went to Portsmouth with the id ea of winning. players, The ton scored first, e Tigers again and the false 12. The tears ed the January City, Pennsylf vania. The team played on frozen ground in Ellwood City and all should be proud of the showing they made. Cheerleaders: Waldo, K. Hudson, Syar, I. Bellamy ' Z.. 3 K- rovv, H. Spears, C. Herrell, J. Student Managers The managers have a position which is considered easy work by some and which is not even considered by others. In reality the manager has numerous jobs which require 'him to be the first one to every practice session and game and the last one to leave.i The football manager must see' that advertising schedule cards are distributed throughout the city. He must furnish the linefup of the team to the press and to the announcing booth at the stadium. He must keep all equipment in good condition. He must see that the equipment is taken care of by the boys and must see that game equipment is issued and collected at the right time. He is responsible for seeing that regular cleats are replaced by mud cleats. He sees that the muddy uniforms are dry' cleaned and returned for the next game. ' The basketball manager, among other things, must see that all equipment is taken on the numerous trips. He must keep the balls pumped, andpshined and see that practice equipment is kept in -good condition. N , The student managers have worked with the team. They lose and win with the team and def serve all the credit that is given them. This ear's mana ers are: To Y 'x Butler. Front row, F. Wise, J. A. Hannon. 9 I N xx K BASKETBALL The boys pictured above constitute the I. H. S. Basketball team of '3 693 7. These boys had a hard road to travel. From the preceding squad, only one player was left, Captain Dubby McAfee. From the last yearis reserve team only one was left, Binks McCarthy. The I. H. S. coaches have a habit of remedying conditions like that, and the team made a very creditable showing. The fact that they lost a month's practice during the flood did not seem to disturb them and they continued the season after school reopened to show a better brand of ball than before. The followers of the team were confident of a victory at the District Tournament. The boys in orange and black won their way to the consolation game, and were without a doubt the most popular team in the tournament. THE SCHEDULE PLAYED Ironton Chesapeake . .

FEATURES May Queen - The month of May in the year 1937 marked a double coronationg the King of England, George VI, and the Queen of Ironton High School, Miss Lucille Schroeder. The Ivlay Crowning is always a major event to the seniors and introduces the most colorful of all the senior activities. With a blue sky overhead, a background of newly leaved beech trees, and a carpet of grass, the fairest of the fair senior girls was crowned in a typical May Day fashion. The Queen, Miss Schroeder, a very active member of the senior class, particif pared in nearly all school activities and in the high school May event, reached the height of her career. A A May festival would not be complete without the attendants to the Queen. The Maid of Honor was Miss Marie Stone, and the other members of the Queen's Court were: Miss Neddie Thompson Miss Marijane Hoffman Miss Opal Peters Miss Eileen Rust Miss Ruth Cox Miss Marie Hardy Miss Mary Lou Howell Miss Sara Carolyn Murdock Miss Helen Hughes Miss Evelyn Whaley Miss Jane Smith Miss Betty Rowe This school among Ohio's hills On river bank doeth stand These lines were to become amazingly true during the 1937 flood. Boats docked on the high school steps instead of on the customary river bank. The building was occupied by relief forces and refugees from the surrounding inundated territory rather than happy students hustling through the halls. Meterologists state many a cause for the 1937 great deluge, but let's just say it rained a lot-the river began to rise-the rain kept coming down-we had a flood. The flood started in the manner of all its predecessors by isolating West Ironton and Sedgewick. Then it did the unexpected-the water continued to rise. School was dismissed Monday, January 25 th. Then people began to see the serious side to a big flood. The schools were thrown open to the refugees and also made headquarters for the military units which were on hand to assist. High school students worked at distribution centers issuing Red Cross blankets, stoves and what have you? And did you ever stand in a bread line? Lots of us stood in one while the Red Cross had control of all the bread entering Ironton. T Who will forget taking typhoid shots? The first one made your arm sore, the second compelled you to stay in bed a day, the third--well if you had taken two why not take the last one-it just made you feel ill. Or maybe they affected you in the opposite order. . The town really engaged in a cleanfup campaign when the flood water receded. The flood had left mud everywhere and had washed away many buildings. By February 15th, the townspeople felt they were in a position to reopen the schools. Again Ironton High School was filled with students hustling through the halls, but somehow Ending time to tell each other all their flood experiences. PHOTO BY PAT DELANEY 5.

MEARANS QUALITY CLOTHES You'll Be Well Dressed Prophecy of '37 While walking along La Rue 47 in St. Nazaire, France, one sunny afternoon, I decided to stop in a very unique Tea Shop to quench my thirst and to rest. Upon entering the shop I was seated at a most inconspicuous table. It was surrounded by tall plants, forming a very secluded spot. Having almost finished drinking my tea, a tall and very dark lady approached me and said: Child, I have the power to present to you facts and scenes concerning the future. Of course, being very amazed at this most unusual experience, I quickly asked her to demonstrate to me a hit of her intellectual ability. Seating herself at my side, she laid a large piece of heavy material before me and began: This is a screen on which appear scenes that will yet come to pass. The first scene to appear was a French Beauty Salon. The proprietress, of course, was Madam Betty Byers. Betty was in the midst of a group of onlookers. Three of her victims were Mafie Stone, Martha Heacock, and Harriet Keaton. Martha Lowe was sitting over in the corner at her desk, chewing her fingernails and trying to get her budget to balance. Martha was Betty's bookkeeper, and was making the large sum of 350.00 per week. The next scene to appear was a Spanish Night club. 'AEI Club de Noche was owned by Binks McCarthy, Chas. Herrell, and Albert Chinn. Horace Hill was leading diverse couples to tables. Paul Williams and his orchestra were pouring forth melodious new song hits while the following couples flitted gracefully along the dance floor: Bill Bivens and Jane Smithg Johnnie Shafer and Mary Frances Brown, Marijane Hoffman and Crayton Burns: Eileen Rust and Johnnie Butler. Albert was just getting ready to cut in on John. Paul, because of his ability in leading an orchestra, had been termed His Symphonic Majesty. Slowly the scene faded away. The next one proved to be a magnificient hotel. Such extravagance had never been witnessed. Earl Fletcher was the door man, and was doing an excellent job. In the coffee room were Arline Howell and John Hamilton: Phyllis Eakins and Hoyle Banton. Phyllis was drinking a new drink called a uhuckleberry phoscoke while the rest were drinking limeades. Hoyle was telling the girls how he won his latest political victory. Looking very closely at the screen I noticed a newspaper lying on the counter. Luckily, the social page was exposed. The first thing of interest was an engagement announcement between Jack Allen and Jenora Allen. There was also a marriage announcement revealed, that of Billy Jo Green and Mary Lou Howell. I looked at the lady at my side and asked her who owned this hotel. She immediately replied It shall be owned by Ted Howell. Curiously looking at the screen again, the nation's White House appeared. Seated in the President's seat was Harold Spears. The VicefPresident was none other than Harold Brown. Don Litle was the chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and he was wearing a white wig in order to look more dignified. Chief Justice Litle had never married, for he felt that he could not support a wife on 518,000 a year. The scene was next changed to a large, exquisite opera house. The opera was being sponsored by the General Federation of Women whose president was Sara Caralyn Murdock. A symphony orchestra, under the professional leadership of Laramar Karnap, was playing the selection Orientale from Kaleidoscope, Some members of his orchestra were: Paul Bierley, Leon Everly, William Cardwell, Donald Casey, and one noted saxophone player, Ferne Fisher. My eyes fixed on the screen, a theatre in the heart of Chicago became visible. This theatre was owned by Wallstein Grayman. Seated behind the ticket window was Evelyn Fletcher. Vv'hen the cast was flashed upon the screen the stars of the play were Anna Rue Trigg and Clifford Lacy. Other supporting members of the cast were Virginia Lynd, James Waldo, and Margaret Persons. The screen became blank, but in a few moments a cafeteria appeared. The owners of the cafeteria were Dorothy Emmett, Carol Jean Hunley, and Jean Pyles. Neddie Thompson and Keith Pratt were seated at a table devouring a piece of Thornbury pie that Lulu had made. Lulu had become quite famous for her pies, when she was not digging up murder stories for the Hollywood Star. Helen Hughes was just getting ready to join Neddie and Keith. This cafeteria was located in Beverly Hills, California, and was patronized by all the famous movie stars. The next scene was a barber shop located on Court Street in Athens, Ohio. Jack Pope was standing on a step-ladder, giving Darrell Cales a shave. Charles Banks was just getting ready to shine Fred Bragg's shoes. - THE Diamond Lumber Co.

The Dean of the University was Mr. Franklin Penney. His private secretary was Marie Hardy. A professor in this institution was Charles Hopkins. Professor Hopkins was laboriously working on a group of guide sheets to present to his pupils. Betty Rowe, the girl's athletic director, was teaching the gym class the art of reducing. john Pearson was in charge of the one and only study hall, and was trying in vain to quiet the class. Again the screen became blank, but in a few minutes, Madison Square Garden took the place of the blankness. A big prize fight between Robert Cannon, Heavyweight champion, and Howard Rowe, Lightweight champion, was about to be staged. Bob Pierpoint was the referee, and was jumping up and down shouting, as usual. Don Richards and Allen Jeter were two of the seconds. The scene vanished before the end of the bout, so the winner can not be revealed. The next scene to appear was the interior of dear old Ironton High School. Seated in the superintendent's chair was Bob Henry. Louis Bryant was teaching American History. The class was studying Muzzey Ir. When the scene disappeared, I turned to the lady at my side and asked where Miss Flower was, and the lady replied that she had gone on a roundfthefworld tour. james Pinkerman was teaching General Science. The screen became very blurred, and when it became clear again, the ball room in a large, luxurious ocean liner appeared. Within five minutes, the orchestra was scheduled to go on the air. The radio announcer was M.D.V.D.A. Dan Morgan, and it's needless to say he was doing a fine piece of announcing. After the orchestra's first selection, Dan introduced William Campj bell and Stewart Clark. William lectured to the fairer sex about the necessity of having thin figures. Stewart Clark then came to the mike and told of his adventures in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Abyssinia, Africa. ' The ocean liner was owned by Ralph Smitley. As they continued their broadcast, several people that I knew participated. Jean Keaton came forward and gave a High Hat and Tails dance. There was so much applause that she had to appear again. This time she rendered a snappy tap. Next on the program were torch singers who were Viola Ellis, Dorris Sabatti, and Rosanna Sanders. Cecil Beasley concluded the broadcast with an adept performance. The pilot of this ship, which was headed for Hawaii, was Charles Reynolds. As this scene faded away, an athletic school appeared. This institution was owned by Dubby McAfee. He was coaching boys in the art of playing football. Hobe Royal was showing the young prospects how to drop kick. Close by this school I descried a landing field. As the scene became closer and closer, I saw Stanley Roseberry stepping into an airplane to make his first solo flight. . After a brief intermission, a large department store was flashed on the screen. The manager of this store, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was Frank Hunter. The assistant manager was Opal Peters. There were many indispensable clerks. Among them were Dorothy Crank, Sara Frances Lyons, Irma Bridges, and Betty Hart. The head bookkeeper was Annabelle Salle, and the most efficient stenographer in this concern was Lucille Schroeder. A After this scene, the screen before me became permanently blank. Turning to the mysterious lady, I asked her to reveal to me the fate of the rest of my classmates. Agreeing, she began: Helen Campbell will be the owner of a large chain of Red Cross Drug Stores originating in Huntington, and located in the leading cities of the States of West Virginia, Virginia, and Ohio. Beatrice Hall shall marry a rich man and live in luxury the rest of her life. Anna Gannon shall become a great Latin instructor, and her leadership shall be unsurpassed. Ruth Cox shall be the smartest dressed woman in Paris, and shall be escorted to the most prominent places by a Duke from England. Helen Paul will be a second Amelia Earhart, flying a beautiful white streamlined airplane from coast to coast. Eloise Metz shall marry a tall, dark socialite, and will reside in Palm Beach, Florida. Together they shall fly to social fame. Waldin Fannin will follow in the footsteps of Walt Disney, compiling the future cartoons for the movies. Rose Lynd will become an author, and will write a history book on prefhistoric times. This book will be highly popular, and shall be studied to enlighten the minds of the future students of all the universities. Violet Sabo will be a nurse in the Blue Cross Hospital of Columbus, Ohio. Juanita Kelley will become a missionary, and will travel in the provinces of China. After this speech, I extended to her my appreciation, and she prepared to leave. I quickly stopped her and said, But you haven't told me my fate. She only smiled and said, You will reside in Virginia, but it is not my power to tell you more. With this last remark, she hastened away. After her departure, I left the Tea Shop very much enlightened by the know' ledge obtained of the fate of my classmates of '37. By PEGGY GILES.

Ironton High School Alma Mater Song -I When school days call us to the search Of knowledge from the book, There's only one place then to go- One school for which to look. This school among Ohio's hills, On river bank doth stand, And sheds its rays of light afar To brighten our fair land. - REFRAIN - O Ironton High, here's our acclaim, We'll try our best to bring you fame, Praises we'll sing, till echoes shall ring Of our love for you, dear Ironton High. - 11 - We pledge our faith to your support Of deeds of truth and right, . And freedom-liberty for all- We'll keep by our own might. No fear have we of dark defeat With hearts of loyalty To that good name of which we're proud- Dear Ironton High, 'tis thee.
