E201 Q Q Senior Class History T T The Class of '38, having used school spirit as a radius during the three years spent at Middletown High, will soon be closing its circle of high school activities. Many have been on the honor roll each time so that our class has always ranked high in scholastic endeavor, but Edward Moritz, Marjorie Jacoby, Sam Elam, Mitchell Page, Howard Robertson, Norma Patton, Sarabelle Dennis, and Eleanor Barnard have especially well represented the scholar- ship arc of our circle by winning high honors in the contests at Oxford, Ohio. Most of our boys on the athletic teams have worked and played together since their Junior High days. Especially in our junior and senior years the football and basketball teams have made an enviable record, so their team work is rewarded by giving them an arc in our orb of activities. The artistic arc of our circle has not been neglected. In our Sophomore years the play Seventeen was presented, and the following year, Big Hearted Herbert . The musical organizations have been active outside of school as well as inside. The Art Department, too, has had very successful art exhibits in the last few years because of the talent of some of our classmates. The Public Speaking activities well deserve a place in our circle. For the Erst time this year an extemporaneous speech contest was held for this district, at which time we were well represented by two of our members. In the debate tournament which was held at Wyoming, our teams took second place. Those who attended the Junior-Senior Prom will not soon forget dancing under the beautiful grape arbor decorations to the music of the Campus Owls. Many happy memories also are recalled when we think of the Senior Dance which completed our social arc in the circle. Our high school days will soon be over, but looking into the future, We hope that all of life's circles of problems may be completed with as much satisfaction as this one at M. H. S.
