CLASS HISTORY H It was in September, 1937, that this graduating class first came shakyflegged and starryfeyed through the portals of Old Male High. We had heard of the spirit of Male and were quickly enveloped by it. Most of us entered into different fields of activities-athletics, clubs, and other organizations which have helped in many ways to develop us. Out football coaches, under the able Wallace Butts, greeted us by putting a smoothly running footballfmachine on the gridiron to meet and defeat twelve conf secutive teams, including Manual. That Thanksgiving Day's score was 2520. By the close of our Sophomore year we were all wrapped up in activities and were feeling a great deal more important than at the beginning of this three' year period of our life. Our next year was heralded by the acquiring of the stately title of Juniors. As befits the dignity of that title, we worked willfully to fill our places in this great institution. Many of us had entered into extrafcurricular activities. We were well represented in the clubs, on the athletic teams and in all organizations. Many of us in the R.O.T.C. were wearing stripes on our arms, with the outlook of someday wearing discs or diamonds on our shoulders. Colonel jordan left us to go into retirement and was replaced by Major W. E. Bashore, who was received with great approval by the school body. Under Coach Homer Jackson, a fine gentleman from northern Kentucky, we had a fair football season, winning six and losing four. We fell victim to the Nationalf championship Manual eleven by the score of 4097. In the early part of 1939 the best addition to Male was being started-the new gymnasium. This was taking form after many years of planning and hoping by the alumni and athletic department. In addition to the new gym, six new classrooms were being added, along with a first class R.U.T.C. department. Came june and we as Juniors realized that the following September meant all the world to us, for we would be Seniors. Well, it came. The final episode of Male High was being unfolded before our very eyes. Under a very capable coach, Mr. Stovall, we lost to Manual this last year by the score of 2043. Other than that, we had a splendid season, losing to only one other team. This fall the gym was completed and our basketball team under Frank White enjoyed a very successful season, winning over Manual four successive times. The organizations of which we were members, honored us with official posts. Editors, presidents, officers, and captains fill our ranks. We really appreciate these honors and are very grateful. This last semester is one of sorrow and yet of gladness-of sorrow because we are leaving, of gladness because of our accomplishments in this historic institution. We are now prepared to go on, thanks to Male and its able faculty, therefore we, the graduating class of 1940, wish to express our sincere gratitude for all that Male has done for us. To all undergraduates and future students of Male High we wish a hearty wel- come and good luck. Now we say goodbye to Male, and become a part of its history. By JACK Ross
