WHO WE ARE As the clock continued on its last round of high school life for the seniors, the students gazed into future days, hope- ful that the solution of their problems today would lead them to progress tomorrow. , Skiis dangling from feet perched high in the air with their riders having a drift full of fun explained the old tradition of sneak day. The clock mea- sured exactly February lOth when the Seniors ditched school for an escapade at Fish Camp. Springtime changed the tempo as dramatists of great ability helped the clock speed up its journey. The Seniors swayed their audience with tears of laughter in the production The Ghost Flies South. Dreary books and ink stained fingers faded into the past as the younger set entertained at the annual formal Junior-Senior Prom in honor of the out- going official Seniors. Juliettes floated across the floor bedecked with frills and flowers while Romeos felt chivalrous and dashing in their best duds. With the tickings of the school clock almost complete the impressive baccalaureate service was given. The Seniors looked back with graveness through their four progressive years in high school as the Reverend Father Dowling spoke. The mightiest and most inspiring event of the year-graduation? What responsibility for future hours and minutes lay on those Seniors as they heard their names called to receive diplomas? First semester scholarship seal bear- ers were: Joe Halloran, Jack Bick, Charlotte Hardin, Miriam Munter, Mar- garet Potter, Viyian Clayton, Helen Kobayashi, and Mary Nishimoto. The school clock for the Class of '38 had run its course. Next year the class of almost highest, or Juniors to you, will watch the hands of the clock spin around to their tune. lf the hands stop on a play as good as Spring Fever , which was put on by the Juniors this year, it will have to be super-super! Working hard in a school play had its compensations, for after the Junior play a dancing party was given for the cast and commit- tee members. Sophs proved themselves quite up and coming with their assembly consisting of a short comedy and musical talent from their class. Even the Juniors remarked how well it was put on, and did they have to go some to hit the mark set by the Sophs! Greenies of '4l were thrilled and felt quite prominent at their first of- ficial high school social activity when they were entertained by the Sophs at a reception held early in the school year. On April Fool's Day isounds badll the Frosh returned the party with a bang, and a big dance in the cafe- teria with all the fixinsl An assembly sponsored by the Freshmen proved talent unknown was nestled in the depths of their large advancing body. Darwin Shebelut and Florence Walker made the minutes count for the Seniors as class officers both semesters, while Buddy Stephenson and Allen Carter wound up the Juniors when they became dull. Jack Washburn and Leland Edman stood up for the rights of the Sophomores, and J. B. Lynch and John Mollica slowed down the eager hands and tickings of the daring Frosh when they set the pace too fast for one of their rank. t 4 T.. B.
