Just as staterooms, decks, captain's quarters and a ship's auditorium are kept spotlessly clean for long voyages, so are our classrooms, corridors, offices, gymnasium, and athletic field kept in excellent condition by our janitors. The staff this year includes Charles Hirtman, William McChesney, Harry Hudspeth, and Russell Rankin. Mr. Hirtman, who serves as head janitor, has been on the staff for thirty-eight years. These men are always more than glad to comply with the requests of teachers and students. Realizing that the janitors deserve recognition for their consistent efforts to maintain a neat building, we gladly dedicate this page to them. THE LINCOLNITE 1937 PAGE 14

I.ily-of-tl1e Yalley The Senior Class of 1937 has always been well represented in school events and activities throughout their four-year course. As freshmen, six re- presented their class in the Lincolnite play, The Comedy of Errors, and also in the one-act plays, Gammer Gurton's Needle and As the Tumbrils Pass. Eight freshmen girls were chosen for the contest glee club, and the freshmen girls' glee club sang for baccalaureate services: The band and orchestra also gained freshmen members. Many of our present varsity stars were already active in their first year. As sophomores, several of the present seniors were entered in the state meet of the National Forensic Leauge. The class was again represented in the Lincolnite play, The Perfect Alibi, and in the girls' contest glee club and mixed chorus. Last year the class was highly represented in the Lincolnite play, The Streets of New York, and many, as juniors, were entered successfully in various speech contests. Through the efforts of the juniors now sen- iors, the first junior-senior prom in the history of the school was staged. Tiny Hill's orchestra was secured for the gala event, but before danc- ing, the students were entertained by Hubert Petrie and his White Hussars. Wafers and punch were served throughout the evening. Many students will retain a pleasant memory of their first prom in high school. v All in all the class has been very active, contributing much to the honor and high standing of the school, cooperating with their class advisors and faculty. They have gradually built up their reputation, and as seniors, were thoroughly prepared to maintain responsibility in the way of student help. The seniors have aided as hall monitors, session room assistants, and office assitants. This year the senior class were guests of the school at a festive prom at the Lincoln Country Club, immediately after graduation exercises on May 31. Larry Gibson and his International Orchestra played for the dan- cers from 9:30 to 12:30. The prom was the first one for seniors ever sponsored by the high school, and it shall probably be made an annual affair. THE LINCOLNITI-Q 1937 'PAGE I6 .
