S. life on August 29, 1938, when three freshman boys, John Mi'ler, Bernard Hershberger, and Edwin Moore, enrolled. After about 2a week, Velma Bontrager joined us. We had representat-ves in declamatory, plays and athletics during our first year. In the fa'l of 1939 only the three boys returned to continue their search for knowledge.
