, A... CLASS WILL Before we break the seal and read the will of the Class of 1938, perhaps it would be well to explain the means by which we have acquired the possessions we are about to will to our successors. When we entered Marysville High School in 1935, we possessed nothing but a great deal of energy and an idea that we knew all there was to know. But the honorable Juniors and Seniors iwith the help of some of the teachers! very quickly put an end to this idea, leaving us with only our energy. This lamentable state of affairs was soon remedied by these classes leaving us many of the articles which we now will to those who remain behind. . To the Class of 1939, party of the second part, The Class of 1938, party of the first part, does herein will the best seats in the auditoriumg an invitation to be guests at the Junior-Senior Banquetg to be producers of the most outstanding drama of he coming year lThe Senior Playl and to have a hand in governing the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y, publishing the Mosaic and Key, and generally taking charge of the activities of the school. Those Seniors lucky enough to have the last period study hall on Friday, will have as an additional priviledge, that period free. To the Junior Class falls the responsibility of preparing a Junior-Senior Banquet, after the standards set by the preceding classes. Picture shows, dances and other am- usements are suggested as sources of revenue. We have but one request--that at the dances something besides ice cram bars may be served. To those who inherit the name, Sophomore, we will the privilege of being allowed to attend classes in the Senior High School Building, and of associating with their elders. We trust that they will recognize this as the great honor it really is, and will try to live up to all that is expected of hem. ' Many of our outstanding traits we would like to have interred with us. These are namely: the habit of arriving at school about two seconds before the last bell rings, the reckless, breath-taking driving of some of our boys, the B-'s in conduct. To those who intend to take Chemistry, we leave the doubtful privilege of making as many disagreeable odors as they can. They may try to the best of their ability to blow themselves up. They also have the right to experiment in the laboratory and make many cosmetics and toilet preparations which will never be used. Our excess energy we divide among the three classes according to the needs of each: 7521 to the Senior Class, 2076 to the Junior Class, and the remaining 502 to the in- coming Sophomores. We leave behind us the Key to Success. This Key will insure the bearer of perfect lessons and teachers' smiles. Unfortunately, however, this key was lost at the begin- ning of last year. Therefore we leave this key to whomever shall find it. To the Three Classes to divide as 'they see fit, we leave the faculty, textbooks, and schoolhouse, for their use during their stay here. We trust that they will take good care of them as the preceding classes have done. In addition to the above requests, we leave certain possessions which have helped us in the past, and perhaps will help some of our heirs in the future. These are to be giv- en to the ones having the greatest need of them. Said possssions consist of: one pack- age of large sized notebook paper tfor use in any of Coach's classesl, one slightly us- ed ink eraser tfor use in typingl, one pony to use in the translation of Caesar, one almost empty pad of detention slips, some old football jerseys, debate boxes and bask- etball suits. If no one has use of these articles, they are to be given to M. W. Hatha- way, Berry Thompson or John Rausch, who will dispose of them. Signed: THE CLASS OF 1938 ' This will be subscribed and sworn before me, on this 26 day of May, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight. BETTY LIGGETT, L. D. Attorney for the Class of 1938. George Samuel Ager Nelle Kloepfer

V w C ass rop ccy of 1Q58 These excerpts are taken from -the diary of Bob Griffith, which was written while on a trip thfrough the United Sta-tes with James Evans, on June 1, 1948. They were taking the -trip in an automobile designed and buil-t by James Evans who is a famous auto designer for Henry Ford. 'Bob Grlffi-th is taking a prolonged vacation from his luxurious optical offices located on Long Is- land, New York. They are taking -this trip to try and locate -some of their classmates of the Class of '38. June 1. Left New York at 8:30 a. m. Stopped to get gas and a bite to eat. Saw Lloyd Hornbeck and Doro- thy Coder who run a wonderful one -stop service station in New York Ci-ty. Stopped to inquire our way at a small shanty in -the mountains west of New York, and were sur- prised to find James Smith and Claude Belt runn- ing an illegal still. Took some with us for anti- freeze solution. June 2. Pittsburgh. Were pinched for speedingg luckily for us, it was a .motorcycle policeman who turned out to be our old pal Don Griffin. We were invited out to the for dinner with he and the missus. Surprised to see .the former Christine Schwartzkopf as the mis- susl with her seven children, three boys and four gn' s. Went to the Cat's Paw ballroom and saw Miss Bette Rhoades and Miss Betty Boyd in' Gold- diggens of 19483' Their parts were well played, 'thank-s to their experience in high school. June 3. 'Stopped in Colunibus, Ohio, on our way to our old -home 'town of Marysville. Took a run out to t-he airport in Columbus. Lee Kandel, famous avi- ator for T.W.A. landed his plane and we found Jean Smith and Richard Banks, who are now married, returning from Louisana where they placed an order for a large number of baby chicks to be used at their hatchery north of Marysville. Bill Robinson and Herbert Brose are still grease monkeys at Por-t Columbus after ten years. They learn fast. -On our way to Mary-sville, we saw Ben Cole- man and Rebecca De-twller, who are now running the Coleman farm on the Columbus road. Came on into Marysville and stopped in at the City Loan -to have a check cashed and was sur- prised to see 'the bright and smiling face of Dick Yeager who is now district manager for the said company. They say he is doing very well for he was an expert at making and taking loans in -high school. Later we went over to see our old high -school, M.H.S., whose outside appear- ance was -the same but were surprised to find practically a whole new staff of teachers. We found Ernest Yarrington sitting in the Super- intendent chair and Robinson Crabbe teaching history. VVe also found Rhea Keirns teaching Lat- in and French, and Ruth Wilson -teaching English. We then left and went back up town to get a shoe shine and found James Seward manager of a modern shoe repair -shoppe and happily married to Betty Fleming. VVe decided to get something to eat so went into a modern restaurant and found it to ibe managed by Marguerite DeGood and Mar- jorie Bowersmith and Catherine Vvilcox. The name given to the place was the Dew Drop Inn. They served very good food. At 7:00 p. m. we decided to go to the show which was still called the Avalon, and found Zel- ma Derr at the ticket booth and 'Robert Bower- smith in the projection room. We -saw the picture, Midnight in a Mad House . It was a good show. At 10:00 lp. m. -we went to bed at the Hotel Marysville, run by Phil Rupprighit and Pearl Tel- thorster, who are, of course, married. June 4, 1948. Up at nine o'clock and went out to look at Nestles Milk Plant before we left -town. Found Bill Crothers who is now Chief Electrical Engin- eer. Upon leaving town we stopped at Penn Oil Company for gas. It is now being managed by Tom Beck who, much to our surprise, married Mary Louise .Scheiderer in 1943. Also saw Donna Clegg who is married to Donald Thompson and they are now running the dairy together. Donna told us 'tha-t Bernice Nicol married a grocery man at Milford Cen-ter and that Eleanor Shaw married David Futhey and they are now living on the Fu-they farm. Leaving Marysville about noon and arrived in Cleveland at 2:00 p. m. CEvans drivingb. Here we found Joe Ferrell and Elmer Opphile as heads of an art school and they seemed to be get-ting along very nlcely. We were stopped by a police cruis- er who -told us that we were wanted at the Chief of Pollce's home immediately and they volun-teered to lead the way. We didn't know what to think or couldn't imagine what we had done. The Chief of Police turned out -to be Robert McCarty who had heard we were in town and wanted to see us. We found out that he had married Genevieve Titus and they have a very nice -home there. . .Tune 10. i VVe are now ln Chicago. We went -to the Aragon Ballroom last night 'to dance and found Dick Hartshorn and his orchestra playing there, his orchestra is one of the best in the United States and we fel-t overjoyed -to get to hear him. With 'him was the trio 'composed of his wife, the former Nadine Bensley, and two popular girls, Rose Cook and Frieda Streng. It is rumored that Frieda and Rose are married but we didn't find out for sure. While in 'Chicago we visited -the Swift Co. and Tren-ton Williams sitting in the president'.s chair fBig butter and egg many. He was married to Marge Aukland, but we figured out that that was likely to happen :back in our school days, so we weren'-t shocked at the news. Stayed a-t the Sleepy Parrott Hotel which is managed by an- other of our old chums, Harold Parrott. It is a very novel ihotel because -he has an all gi-rl force dressed in parrott's costume-s. We recognized a few of -the girls as June Ford, who is ithe clerk: Myra Foreman and Miriam Griffith arelbell hops and Grace Morse was the bouncer. lit is the most comfortable hotel we have been in since we left New York. June 15. ' i We are in St. Louis, Missouri. We had a funny experience this morning. We were approached by a man selling -hair grower and since I am partial- ly bald I .suppose he thought I would be a good prospect. So I bought a bottle and took it to the hotel. Later I decided to use it and on' the front was a picture of Sam Miller in his basketball suit that he wore in -high school. The name of -the ton- ic was Mlller's Sure Grow Hair Tonic and Sam Miller was president of -the Co. VVe called on him and dined with he and his wife, Anna Marie Rog- ens. Later on we went to a party of Sam's and a fine time was -had by all. June 17. Arrived ln Oklahoma City' this morning. We stopped for gas and upon inquiring found out that .Bill Endres was running the Get Peppy with Pep Gasoline -Company. It seems that he and Helen Snyder struck it rich. Nothing more of interest happened so we lef-t for Pueblo, Colorado. June 19. Arrived in Pueblo about noon and looked the town over and then left about three o'clock. We were outside of the Pueblo about 60 miles when our car -broke down and we walked -to the near- est ranch for help. We found it was a very large and beautiful dude ranch owned by Rachel Ken- nedy, Fred-enia Smit-h, Anita Brooker 'and Elsie Bywater. It was a ranch for men only. We also found Ronald Walker who was foreman of the ranch. We stopped 'there all night and left in -the morning after our car was repaired. We left for the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and 'there we found George Porter who is in charge of it. NV-e went in-to -his exquisite office and saw Beryl Raley who was wpplying for a job. George gave him a job of being manager over the Janitors and caretakers. -Beryl was very well satisfied. We next left for Hollywood where we saw Dick Holycross, tha-t famous comedian, who is always different from other comedians. Instead of telling new jokes, he always tells old ones to see if -the peo- ple can still remember them. We also found Betty Liggett who is a dramatist for -the more serious side of life. W-hile we were in Hollywood we also discovered 'tha-t Alnet Mayer, Florence Nicol, and June Means were private secretaries to a Mr. Jones who is head of Paramount pictures. We t-hen traveled. -to Los Angeles and since I was naturally interested in medicine we stopped at the No Mercy Hospital. There, much :to oursurprise, we saw Ru-t-h Wil-son, Erma Zacharias, and Helen Beightler as nurses in the hospital. They were all looking very healthy. VVe had yet to discover Mary M. Scheiderer and our list would be complete of the Class of 1938. We looked -everywhere 'and finally when we were about to give it up we decided to -take an ex- tnded vacation -to Europe for -t-he balance of Surn- mer. We went into the steamship office for secur- ing tickets and lo and behold t-here was Mary M. Scheiderer, who was now a missionary -to India. We felt overjoyed to see her since we,had com- pleted our list in full. Now we felt that we could .spend the balance of our vacation in Europe with our minds at rest and peace in our hearts.

TVVELVE SHORT Y ARS E Schoolmates, our days are over In this wonderful school of ours, Like a lamb in a field of clover With you, we've spent happy hours. The time OH! it's been short, Since we first went through your doors, But just like good sports, We leave, to enter no more. Yes, you've given us knowledgeg Some, not easy to gain, Making us ready for college Though others at home will remain. Some think of school as a drudge Where they must study so hard, But later they'1l hold no grudge When looking at their report card. They'll be proud to know that in Marysville, They started their learning in life, They think, and always will, That study is not such a strife. School isn't all grind, As some pupils prefer to believe, For there's lots of things they can find, From which joy, they will receive. 1 Such as football and basketball, That provides us with fung And dancing in our hall Until almost one. So in closing this little verse There is nothing much to say, Then, if nothing is ever Worse We'll be happy just every day. -Anita Brooker
