GPH ECW A little island some where on the Pacific is revealed. There's a man who seems to be preaching to the savages. Why does the globe deceive us or is it really Sig dictat- ing to that small group of natives. Oh well! we always thought he'd made a good dictator. The scene changes to Florida and we see Helgn Buyce riding on a serf board with a blond young man. For a minute we can't see if it is nHuskyH or NPeteH but as the crystal clears we discover that Husky must have won out. Again the globe clouds up and when it clears we see on the sunny banks of Calif- ornia Donald Kigggy, a tall strapping young man who has taken for a wife Clara Mae Simons the girl he admired so much while he was a senior in dear old Northville High. Some one else comes on the scene. Why it's Jeanne Fowler. We can hardly believe our eyes. Is that really Jeanne in the midst of a throng of natives. She has become a missionary in darkest Africa. Tskl Tskl How times have changed. A laboratory is revealed and we see a gray-haired old man hovering over some mechanical device. This man is non other than John Lindeberg working on his latest invention, a windshield wiper for his glasses. The next scene is a crowded court room where a lawyer is pleading for the life of an innocent man. It's John Dunham the world's greatest criminal lawyer. why the globe is very cloudy now. As it clears we find that our own high school is revealed. Let us see what is inside. Will you look at that. Don't tell us she's calwed down enough to be a commercial teacher bit so it is. It's Virginia Leete teaching the class of '46 all the little Uknocksn about keeping HOiled' up on business. A girl rushes into the room. why it's Dogig Wgitngy, our old school chum who is now private secretary to the principal. As we look again into the globe, we see a little light-haired school teacher teaching the children of Northville Central School their H 'readin 'ritin, and 'rithmeticu Why ive Emily differ-d. A mist comes over the globe and the scene changes. There is Betty Cggpenter--that win- der lust seems to have gotten the best of her. She's saleslady for a vacuum-cleaner company. What's this we see, a little cottage a- long the wayside? At the door stands a little red head with her husband, who is none other than our old class mate, Howgrd Barggr. Need we ask who the red head is? We again look into the globe and there is Mgggggll Robingon. He owns a small dairy farm just outside the city of Batchlerville. The scene changes to Madison Square Garden where the worlds championship of 1940 between Max Farr and Tommy Baer is being held. We hear the voice of Graham Macnamee. No, we are mistaken. As the globe brings the announcers box into view, we find Clggence Delbert gigg worlds greatest sports announcer and commentator! A moving picture theatre is revealed. We hear. coming from the stage, a voice that is strangely familiar. Stupefied, we gaze into the globe and see our childhood domeo, gg! 5. Seidl Qg.--America's newest and greatest screen lover. We see a white aproned clerk waiting on a customer. why, it's none other than Ggrgld Nillg. He is now manager of the 'Great Onionn chain store. A curly headed attendant runs out of a gas station to wait on a customer. As we look closer, we find it is gg! Burliggame. At present he has Just finished his invent- ion of an automobile that runs on air. We see in the Chrysler plant at Detroit a young man working laboriously on the plans of a new and utterately modern chrysler of '49, As he glances up, we re- cognize the familiar face of Zgke Wgayer. Sunny California is revealed. we see a cloud of dust and hear some yoddling. As the dust clears, we see a young man on horse back. We recognize him as Eggggt Tgggg t. He's making a wild west scene for the movie Nwestern Loveru. The globe clouds over. It clears! We see a large corral of stampeding cattle. A young girl dressed in riding breeches rides up on a beautiful saddle horse. why it's Anne 281522 on her ranch on the Mountain Road. Here is another member of the class of '38. The scene is in Amsterdam in a real-estate office. Why it is Lgg Ihitggg the private secretary of Floyd E. Lepper. Look, the scene is changing! We see a young girl seating herself on a log by a river bank, after a hard days work minis- tering to the physical need of the natives of India. She pulls off her shoes and stockings and dangles her dainty feet in the cool soothing water. We look more closely and recognize her. Why it's our old class mate Emgggggg Strobel. And there is Enog Mggphy on the sunny shore of NErinn. He has picked up a little colleen and they are living happily on the banks of dear old Shannon. Betty Carpenter Emily Gifford Virginia Leete

To the members of the Class of 1938: You are the fifth class of boys and g1T1S that have left this Central School. Fundamentally, you are similar to all classes that have gone before you. You have had the same type of training, have been taught by the same kind of teachers, you have used the same type of textbooks. You have enjoyed all the facilities that a modern school building can offer. Perhaps the four years environment of this fine building will have a material effect on you. Knowing the above, we can safely say that a few of you will make a success, and a few of you a hopeless muddle of the time allotted to you for the next thirty or forty years. The remainder of you will find a place on this earth that you can fill without any extra exertion, and you will exist. Individually, you are different from any pupil that ever attended a school. In some cases we are thankful for that. what you will be ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now, no one can safely predict. Know- inh some of your characteristics, we can almost place you in one of the above groups, although your environment and experiences of the next few years will still make an indelible impression on your character and personality. what you have done this past year, what you do today, is governed by habits that hold you in their grip. Have you in the past year given up a tough job? whether it be a math problem, a typing assignment, or a book review, that had to be in Monday morning, or did you give up a movie, a date, or put aside a hundred easier-to-do-things in order to master that particular job? It takes determination and tenacity to do that job. It will take the same kind of tools to do any Job--selling a washing machine or life insurance, getting three meals a day, day in and day out, rais- ing a family---everything that your mother and father do every day of their lives. Our civilization has been going along for about four or five thousand years, and what we have read in our history books and novels, leads us to conclude that human nature hasn't changed one iota. Naturally, there are a few rules in this game of life that we can glean from those who have travelled life's road before us who have been successful, and by successful I mean in other ways than financially. I would suggest that you read a few biographies of men and women who stand out from the millions of people who have existed in previous years. Read about Pasteur---Lineoln---Washington--- Jane Adams---Helen Keller---Florence Nightengale. I would especially recommend reading about a young man who lived in the old world about two thousand years ago, who laid the foundation of a way of life that if followed would produce a Heaven on earth. And now-the best of friends must part- I hope that you have enjoyed your part in the school's program as much as we of the faculty have enjoyed ours. Good luck and good-bye and may all good things come to those who deserve them. Sincerely, Prof. C A535 PQE The Embarkation I must check my rigging once more Before I leave this shore For some port in the distant blue. This last task I do with an unshed tear bedimming my eye. All too vainly I try To shut out those pleasant scenes of The past, scenes I love. They come back, marching, dancing, singing Joking, laughing, bringing One message, they halt my leaving, Set my soul to grieving. They ask that I leave a memory here, A little souvenir: We've had compatriots all The way, John and I, Each with his owh little yawl, Some with girls so shy-- Among whom we see our Friend, Clarence King, About whom praises shall ring Till his dying hour. In Ernie, we see not An earnest tenant, But one sowing his own plot, waving his own pennant. Enos was elected fairly As the head of our class, And he has acted squarely-- So we can't let him pass! Howard, Kinney, and Zeke Thru athletic prowess seek To wear on their name The garlands of fame. Betty, Ina, and Emily Are the pious maids, Who out of church see That piety never fades. There's Doris and Emmagene, Buyce and Leete-- Anne, of intellect so keen, who edits this sheet. And the girls have to take headache pills When they look at Gerald Mills. Ray plays trombone in the band-- And holds Grace Hayden's hand! Then there's Jean and Roy, Marshall, a little farmer boy, And Brooker, the lawyer's son-- John and Sid, whose job is done!
