It was nCome Out of The Kitchenn by A. E. Thomas. It dealt with the Dangerfield's home life in Virgin- ia and how the children managed the home while their parents were abroad. The fam- ily was in need of money so the idea came to the children to rent the home, ppt the servants had left also. Well it happened that Burton Crane, a man from the north wanted to rent the house and wanted the servants to go with it. So the children had to assume the roll of the servants and it so happened that Mr. Crane fell in love with the cook, Jane Ellen, who was Olivia Dangerfield.

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! John Satterlee John Lindeberg

JHUWUCCD WHS The members of the '38 junior class are a little proud of their accomplishments, and justly so, we think. The incidents that have happened--picnics, parties, money-raising projects during the last three years within our class are unforgettable to the juniors. However, we would like to remind others of the things that have entertained and impressed us. We take this way of doing it--a Junior Class 'HistoryH. We begin the history the day we proudly entered the freshman room, and we were proud although a little frightened, too. WE STILL REMEMBER! Oh yes, that Freshman class of '36 had heard and seen a great deal of Freshman initiations--painted noses, parades, scraps, etc--, and we were doomed to hear much more and see a little more. Our fears were un- founded, however, because the initiation consisted of: a Senior warning to us to wear very short dresses Cor gym clothes? and an asslmbly with recitations by the freshmen and enjoyed by all--yes, even the NFreshiesn. we Freshies were practically certain at that time, that the H1936 Freshman Initiationn should go down in history. We still are in the memory of it. In our Sophomore year there were several outstanding things: our successful money- raising Wmovien, our Nfloweryn Navy Ball, but most of all we enjoyed the NScavenger Huntn. Perhaps, some of you Hgrate your teethn just at the memory of it, but to us--nearly all of us were there--it was glorious fun. Each one could invite a friend, there were bushels of refreshments, and best of all was the wild race after pine cones, wigs, silver-colored slippers, and the like. That was more than a year ago. We built our HCastles in Spainn then, and watched them develop. Now we are Juniors--NBui1ding more castlesu. Yes, those castles are still in Spain. As Juniors, we've had the Hi-Boys in the way of money-raising entertainment, and a St. Patrick's Party in the way of money-spend- ing entertainment. And now--the Juniors are dreaming of going to the World's Fair in '39. Maybe we can build that castle too! 111111111 GIRLS GLEE CLUB The girls glee club was organized in September, under the direction of Miss Denham. The members include Jeanne Fowler, Anne Parker, Evelyn Frasier, Joyce Groff, Betty Marlett, Nona deynolds, Helen Hopkins, Eleanor Jensen, Dixie Edwards, Elizabeth Brownell, Bessie Knowles, Vivian Tange, Mary King, Rhoda Lado, and Gretchen Van Avery. One night during the Christmas season the Glee Glub sang Christmas carols, and met after at Miss Denham's for refreshments. They also took part in an assembly program, when they sang two numbers, NAbide with Men, and 'Sometime I feel like a Motherless Childn. It is hoped that there will be increasing interest in the glee club next year, so that it may develop into a larger and more active organization. Miss Denham Rays of Sunshine Behind the strong characters of the men who lead the world are stories of self- discipline. Each day lived truly is more than a day well spent: It is another stone placed in the cathedral of character we erect with the years. 111111111 How slow we are to learn that half the woes we dread do not come upon us at all. How much wiser it is to take things as we find them, making the most of the present with a view to building more wisely for the futures: In this philosophy we greet you. 111111111 Why should we not begin a new life with a song in our heart---a song as rich and full and free as the birds in summertime? For all that, no matter how meager our sub- stance, we have sufficient, and perhaps to spare, and that is all the most rich of us can have and keeps: so let us mount unto the highest reaches of thought and deed, that we may impart to others the good that has come to us 111111111 Few finer things can be done in human life than to greet the new day with hope. It is good for man that he cultivate within himself a desire to think and speak with faith. Yesterday may have been hard, but yesterday is as certainly past as in the year 1492. Today is here, and its charact- er is not yet determined. There will be shnshine or showers according to the oper- ations of laws which we may well control:: Was yesterday a disappointment? I am sorry. But this is another day. The earth has turned around since yesterday. Face the new day with gpod cheer! 111111111 The lazy and idle man does not count in the progress of this nation. 111111111 A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody 6188. 111111111 Nothing ventilates the mind like a resolutin ion. 111111111 Sometimes, when things seem to be going against you, they may be coming your way. x+a+vvmmx The world is a camera- keep smiling, please. 111111111 Think fifteen minutes a day, the results will surprise you agrzeably. 111111111 The best things of life are free--sunshine, the song of birds, the air we breathe, the fragrance of flowers, the joy of help- fulness. 111111111 Never be ashamed to do right, wherever you are. 111111111 Whatever you have to do, so it with all your might. 111111111 Never putjyour hand out farther than you can draw it back again. 111111111 It is the cleanest mind that lives the longest. 111111111
