17 Green had been on the faculty only a year and a half when she transferred to Mt. Mercy College, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Chemistry is one of the most popular courses in school among the college pre- paratory students. Mr. Little, the instructor, also has charge of the modern history class and a class in vocations. A new member of the faculty this year is Mr. Wendholt, director of our manual arts department where both shop work and me- chanical drawing are taught. The library, one of the most frequented rooms in the building, has steadily pro- gressed under the supervision of Mrs. Jacobs, who took over her duties in 1923. Including the duplicated, there are over four thousand books on the shelves. Music has taken a definite step forward this year. Besides the boys' and girls' glee clubs, the girls' chorus, and the orchestra, all under the direction of Miss Hougham, a school band has been organized. Its sixty members, under the direction of Mr. Lou Waterloo, have made several personal ap- pearances. Miss Gisolo is another new faculty mem- ber. Under her guidance, the Girls' Athletic Association has prospered, and the physical training classes have taken on a new appearance. Mr. Eveland has again been in charge of the basketball and track teams. Although this is his biggest job, he still finds time to teach classes in junior business training. The football squad, which recently completed a very successful season, was coached by Mr. Sweeley, whose proficiency as a history teacher is equaled by his ability on the gridiron.

SENIORS 19 • ••••••••• CLASS OF '38 • The fourth and highest rung of the ladder of high school achievement has been attained, and the freshmen who started the ascent in the autumn of 1934 are now seniors. They are doing their best to make this, their last year of high school, memorable. They began the year by furnishing a large per- centage of the team that won the E. I. League football cham- pionship. In basketball we are furnishing forty percent of the team that is well on its way to success and honor. Next will come track, and again the sen- iors will be represented, one of the co-captains being a mem- ber of the senior class. As usual, the CLASS OF '38 is represented scholastically as well as in athletics, twenty-three per cent of those on the honor roll being seniors. In music they are represented in the orches- tra, band, and glee clubs, two members having attended the All-State Chorus. They are also looking forward with determi- nation and hope to the E. I. Literary and Music contests. This year a carnival proved successful, largely through the efforts of the CLASS OF 1938. They also helped in presenting a pageant, commemorating the signing of the Constitution of the United States. They are ex- pecting to show their dramatic talent when they present the senior class play next May. After this come Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises, and this CLASS OF 1938 will go out into this world of wonders to make a name for themselves as they did in Paris High School.
