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

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.
