CLASS OF TlUUTY-EUniT History of the Class of 1 938 EilHh L. Long Four ycjirs have passed. Four liai ' d liut liap- py years have slipped (piiekly by. Our work has been tedious, our task a difficult one ; but now we ean view our finished Raneh with pride. AVe are full-fledged dudes at last! We have ])assed our tests and now are ready to ;■() on to l)i i i( ' r and better thinf s. But before we fio forward, let us trace the history of Kancho 11)3S. On May 24. 1934 we chose as our site, a likely sjiot. Memorial Hig-h school. Actual woi-k. how- ever, was not begun until September 10, l!):)4, when 204 tenderfeet reported to learn th. ' ro])es and become cpialified for graduation. Be- ing meek and green we did much as our foremen advised and worked vigorously to make the foundation of our raneli-house a sti-ong and sound one. After a f( AV weeks of tiresome work and ])uz- zled wandering we were invited by the kind upperclassmen to a fiesta at the auditornim. It was our first social event and after this we l)c- gan to feel more at home. In order that we might be better organized and accomplish more, we banded together and chose as our leader. An- drew AVood. As his assistants we elected Ijco ] reti. Vice-president ; Barbara Lamoureux, See- retary and Irving Jefferson. Treasui-er. At the beginning of our Freshman year, many of the fairer sex actpiired a great passion for the game of football — and the heroes who ])laye(l the game. Early in the season. Jane T ' lford made the greatest catch and hooked unattainable Cap- tain Cahill. It would ajipear that in so doing ] liss I ' tt ' oi-d has entangled herself for good. It was also during this year tliat we lost I ' U ' - tha IShaw ' s ai)pendix. Martha, iiu-idently. has l)roven the problem-child of the class. Each year we have been in danger of losing her — but the telephone poles have always given in and instead of losing Mariha, papa Shaw has lost anothei ' nice, shiny car. Our second year at the Kancho found us minus some 30 woi ' kers. A sinall part of this number, however, was made up in the person of one Dwight Fowler. If you remend)er. it was this year that Dwight came to town; and ju.st in case you don t know. Dwight has been going to town ever since. We were also sorry this year to lose liss Kathryn Trufant. Sophoinoi-e Fnglish teacher, llei- suecessoi ' pi ' oved to be a man worthy of the l)osition. Xo moi-e lovable and interesting a chai- acter could be found than Carlton Cuild. His typical sayings, peculiai- habits, and stiff courses will long be i-enuMubered by us. I Ir. (lui ' d ' s transfer this spring to Tabor Academy was a blow to all. but we congratidate Taboi- and wish Mr. (Jnild the greatest of siu ' cess ami happiness. Our first attempt at entei-taining was the S()|)li()more Social. Siiri)risingly. tliis lui-ned out to be a gala affair, possibly because we chose Fi ' iday the thirteenth as the date. Our Junioi- year saw a great many changes on the now familiar, and less frightening, Kan- cho, Due to illness our head foi ' eman, ,Mr, Ijind- say J. Alarcli. was unable to supervise our ac- tivities foi- a part of the year. IIi ])!ace was tilled by Spike. a lovable, kind, and hard- working chap, who won the hearts of everyone and under whose siipervision ranch life went on smoothly. Another los was the depai-ture of our young and peppy coach. Kuth Jenkins Jenny cantered off to Brockton where she taught for a year at Bi-ockton High and then took- on the difficult task of managing a hus- band. Her position as girls coach was filled bv Evelyn AVIiitty. Two other changes in the di- recting staff occurred this same year. Ir. Cox. (piiet. but well-liked Civics teacher left for other ])arts. being replaced by Mr. Hill. From Penn- sylvania came a timid little buri-o. carrying u])- on his back, Aliss Mary Clutton. who came to take liss Doris Ch.ase ' s ]i!ace as English teach- er. The football season saw not only oui ' brawny hoys jjerform on the gi ' idiron, but brought honor to the class in the foi-m of oni ' Football ueen ' . At the annual football So;-ial. Helen Kobi ' rts. that dark-haired beauty from Lakeville, was chosen Queen of the evening. It was just at this time, as we were get- ting along without any injuries, that Wilfred Silvia undertook too nmch and was rojied and thrown by Cai-ver ' s one and only, Kay ] Iajahad. Soon after this came our Junior Ki oiii. ] Iusic 20
