THE WIN-NEL 1938 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 27, 1934 twenty-seven shy girls and boys entered Winslow High School as 'tgreen freshmen. Nevertheless they were willing to learn. During our first year we lost five members. Lela Schwitz entered from Freeport in November but transferred back there in a few months. Although we lost these members, our first year proved very successful. We entered again inthe fall of '35 one step higher. We were sophomores. Our number of students was again decreased, by four. Dur- ing this year the upper classmen didn't seem so high-up . In the fall of '36 nineteen juniors returned to school. This year we added three more students to our class but we lost the services of our star pupil, Elizabeth Zipse, who transferred to Freeport. Two other students also withdrew. One of these was our red-headed student, Alden Campbell who attended school off and on. In December we presented a comedy, The Tin Hero, in the gymnasiun.. It was acclaimed a howling success by theatre fans. The cast cer- tainly enjoyed every moment in the production of the play, from the first practice to the final curtain. Our athletes, Lisle Wire and Delbert Lynch, secured positions on Mr. V Poe's basketball team. We might add, our class was the first to use the new gymnasium all foul years. In the spring of '37 Robert Schwartz another athlete, transferied to our school from Darlington, Wfis. .In May we honored the graduating seniors by presenting a ban- quetxat the Y.W.C.A. in Freeport. At last the goal is close in sight for the remaining seventeen of the Frosh of '34. We chose as our leaders Harold Ellis, president, Mary Evelyn Klontz, vice-presidentg Cathryn Fisher, secretary and treasurer, Mr. Clarno is oui advisor. We placed the responsi- bility for publishing this Win-nel in the hands of Carol Wells, and what a grand task she-has accomplished. Now that we have climbed those long steps that covered four years of hard work, we all feel as though it were worth our while. We are very proud of our class and we think we have a right to be. Teamwork and sportsmanship have been predominant in our actions. We offer this advice to future Seniors- Be modest and friendly . Page Fourteen
