Class of 1938 Officers lohn B. Carpenter, President: William W Davis, vice-Presidentg Constance Davies, Secretary, Marion T. Bowen, Treasurer. JOHN CARPENTER President T was only yesterday that the Class of 1938 entered Harris Hall, a be- wildered, rather frightened group of typical Freshmen. A few of us denied even to ourselves that we were scared, and determined to show how confident we were. Freshman Week undermined that resolution and soon we were reduced to a state of less than a Freshman class, if possible. After the first skirmish with the Sophomores was over we began to lift our heads and try to assert ourselves as an organized body. We elected Almon Smith our president: Carl Barba, vice-president, Marion Bowen, secretary, and Fred Phillips, treasurer. Later, Almon Smith left school and Carl Barba suc- ceeded to the office of president. When, later in the fall, the class of '38 caused the Sophomores to retire in defeat in the annual Freshman-Sophomore football game, we were jubilant for the Freshman customs were now lifted for two weeks. Altogether, our first year at Keystone was a happy and profitable one. ln retrospect so many things pass through our minds: the basketball games, the mid-semester exams, the winter carnival, skiing down the front campus, tobog- ganing, the back campus in the spring, swimming, and finally Commencement week, during which we presented Keystone with the steps to Bailey field, the pillars and the plaque, in hope that we would be remembered as long as they existed.

Class of 1938 cconfimat Our Sophomore year began with a gala week of persecuting the incoming Freshmen. Gradually the novelty of being upper classmen vanished and some of us even had the temerity to sympathize with those who were at the end of the whip. As the time approached for the annual Freshman-Sophomore football game excitement ran high but true to tradition, and much to our disgust, the Freshmen emerged as the winners and a victory dance was held in their honor. Under the guidance of our officers, we insisted that the Freshmen benefit by our experience at Keystone and we attempted to develop and broaden our own intellectual interests and knowledge with the excellent assistance of a willing faculty. With but little time left to us of our college days at Keystone we sigh a bit, furtively brush away a wistful tear, and wish we were entering the gates rather than closing them behind us.
