CLASS OF '38 On September 5, 1934, 75 Freshmen entered Navarre High School. To say we were green is putting it mildly. It was then that Ice in- formed us that in a few years we might f?l be considered high school students and being our class sponsor he probably knew. We proudly elected our first class officers. They were: Presi- dent, Iohn Haas: Secretary-Treasurer, Norma Booth. Blue and silver was chosen as our class colors, the selection of class flower and motto being postponed until we had more mature ideas. So passed our Freshman year. Our Freshman year in the hazy past and our mistakes and blunders forgotten or politely over- looked-we hope-we enter our Sophomore year. Sophomore is a Greek word meaning foolish- more well draw your own conclusion. Our class sponsor was Miss Nydegger. We held a Halloween party. This was our first social out- burst. Our class officers were: President, Iohn Derfery Secretary, Arline Fettersp Treasurer, Iunior Hay. We're luniors now and getting up in the world. Shorthand and Typing eventually led to the Com- mercial Club-for some. We had a party, the main feature of the evening being a Scavenger Hunt. Lady, do you have a black cat or a map of some place or other? We'll bring it back. CP. S.-The prize was Va bag of peppermint pat- ties.l We ordered our class jackets in the class colors in September. Our class play, 'Who's Boss, was given February 12. It was quite a success, thanks to the able direction of our class sponsor, Miss Drawe. We stepped into society by giving a banquet in honor of the Seniors at Orchard Hills Country Club. Our Girls Basketball squad had the pleasure of wresting the inter-class CHAMPIONSHIP from the Seniors. Our class officers were: President, Iohn Derfer: Secretary, Norma Booth: Treasurer, Irma Smith. Our Senior year has arrived at last. Resolved: To get a lot out of this year-at any cost. The losers in the Annual contest gave a Hard Time party for the winners. No one had a hard time havingmfun, however. Our rings were selected unanimously teveryone in the class voted for the same ringl on September 21. Evelyn Whitmer was chosen Editor-in-Chief of the Annual staff with Iohn Haas as her assistant. An Annual staff was appointed. They were: Blaine Sterner, Har- old Shreffler, Florence Manack, Iosephine Cin- cinnat, Iune Seneften, Iunior Hay, Betty Deed, Virginia Thornberry, Irma Smith, Virginia Beem, lane Lash and Russell Sherhag. Iunior Editors were Ruth Hammel and Blaine Kime. On Febru- ary 23, we treked to the Lucerne Studio to have our pictures took. tBetween us, the motion pic- ture theaters of Canton were quite prosperous that fine day. Our Commencement Announce- ments were decided upon after some debate. The Senior Boys and Girls B. B. squads won the inter- class championship. Our class flower is the rose and our motto is Onward Regardless. Miss Bremer is our sponsor. Our class is well supplied with athletes. The boys who have aided Bridy are: Red Agler, Eddy Boughman, Don Brown, lohn Derfer, Quentin Evans, Iunior Hay, Barney Iogerst, Bert Le Vem, Dave Meyer, Harold Shreffler, Buck Stemer and Steve Stoner. lohn Derfer won the County Scholastic Contest in Chemistry and placed third in the County Scholastic Contest for Seniors.

TO MILDRED AND HARLOW We cannot say, and we will not say That they are dead,-they're just awayl And now, Farewell! Think not too harshly of us, fellow-students and teachers. We have done our best. -C. M. K.

CLASS PROPHECY Iune 1, 1958. MR. MILES HAY, IR. No. 3482109 Federal Prison Alcatraz, Califomia Dear Iunior: lt's sad the warden wouldn't let you have a few days off for good behavior to attend the reunion of the old class of '38. There certainly was a mob there, practically everybody except KATHLEEN BLACKBURN, who ran away to Borneo with a sailor. MARY IANE KELLER, that talkative gal, asked about you. She wondered when you would be out. Plans for our reunion were made weeks in advance and invitations sent to old grads all over the world. And then last Tuesday they began streaming into Navarre from every direction. An- other absentee was IOHN DERFER of the Derfer M nufacturing Company, who was expectedly devained in Iustus on urgent business. Mayor BERT LE VERN and his chauffeur, MILES OTT, were kept traveling back and forth in a squad car in Bottle's usual terrifying manner to wel- come home-coming celebrities. .Tuesday, however, most of the reunioners had arrived, and the reunion began in earnest. The Very Rev. Bishop ORVILLE ATKINSON opened the meeting with a prayer and someone started the old N. H. S. school song led by RUSSELL SHERHAG, that crooning sensation of the Smel- lum-plenty Cheese Hour over the Coasty Coast, Network. The speed demon, HAROLD SHREFFLER, was arrested ten times getting here. He was bringing MARY BURTON, opera singer, who was afraid she might be late for the opening song. On Tuesday evening the old grads again gath- ered at the school building. IOHN HAAS, Rub- inoff II, opened this session by playing Sweet and Low as Lawyer EDWARD BOUGHMAN, who has an established business at Cross Roads, chatted loud and long with old school pals. After this the best swing music of the event was sup- plied by FLOYD STONER'S Band, featuring VIR- GINIA BEEM as a blues singer and dancers 'IANE LASH and BLAINE STERNER. tBlaine only moves when he's truckin'. l The next feature was a different sort of enter- tainment presented by the dancing team com- posed oi FLORENCE MANACK and IOSEPHINE CINCINNAT. They've just completed a movie for Super-Stupid Productions with VIRGINIA THORN- BERRY as the new Zasu Pitts. A terrible accident happened when WILFORD AGLER, Red sox pitcher, was demonstrating a wind-up and sprained his arm and assorted nurses made a rush for him. HARRIET CULNON and IRMA SMITH fought over him while MAE KEEHN, who specializes in wounded hearts, looked on. Eventually his fiancee, BETTY DEEDS, repaired his arm. Perhaps you would be surprised at the number of the old gang that stayed at N. H. S. to teach. ARLAND MEYER seems to be making quite a success of cramming Cicero down little ones' necks: IUNE SENF TEN has trouble keeping Fresh- men out of her kindergarten classes: DOROTHY LIEGHLEY is the Commercial Instructor. NORMA BOOTH and ONITA HOLL were kept busy taking down importantnotes of the event for the nationally known newspaper, The Na- varre Blabbler. DOROTHY EBERLY has considerable trouble to organize a Seamstress Union, and also has OUINTEN EVANS with the United Brotherhood of Grave Diggers. The longest speech was made by DAVID MEYER, he's some sort of a national big shot in the B. S. A., and talked on the subject of doing things for boys. After he was finished EVELYN WHITMER, who has risen to great prom- inence in the State as a 4-H leader, gave a short address. After surveying the old bunch we find that CLARENCE IOGERST and DONALD BROWN are. now, working very hard. They are concerned with the large Bird House Construction Com- pany. RUTH RAY and MAE RUMBERGER have risen in the ranks and have become well-known social workers. And this is about all I can remember of the happenings we had here in the school that has replaced old Navarre High, and last of all the reunion ended with the Big Apple with WIL- FRED OWENS as the man of swing. As I must clean my kitchen cupboards I must close. As ever, Arlene Marie Fetters.
