i = CLASS ACHIEVEMENTS A new record of activities and achievements has been made by the January class of 1938. On August 2 school reopened with a senior as Student Body president, Bob Hartwig at the helm. To help him govern the school were seven other graduating seniors: Jeanne Johansen, Virginia Falls, Remy Zuur, Theophilo Regello, Tom Whitesides, John Garvey, and Preston Sampson. Under their leadership many improvements have been made. The most important of all is the loudspeaker system by which our games are broadcast play by play. Also started this term is a different pin and ring selection plan. The senior class has had the pleasure of selecting the first permanent school ring and pin, and also of being the first class to wear them. Jeanne Johansen, social chairman, with the aid of Betty Louck and Kenny Speer, presented a splendid Student Body program. It was an impersonation of a radio “Jam-Session”, and was enjoyed by every- one. At the first senior class meeting the officers for the term were elected. They are George Lawrence, president; Junior Scott, vice- president; Marie Doney, secretary, and Verna Miller, treasurer. First on the list of senior activities was the Senior Party. An autumn setting, a program, dancing, and refreshments were included in the afternoon’s enjoyment. Senior Day was the biggest event of the senior activities. This year everything was in a hill-billy spirit. The play, with a large cast of forty-nine, was a huge success. On the committee for this feature were Betty Louck, chairman, Lillian Anderson, George Law- rence, J. Scott, and Louise Wilson. The Senior Banquet, held on January 6, was presented in a new way, with a nautical theme as a background. Chairmen for the different committees were: Jean Han- sen, decorations; Lorraine Merriman, will-and-prophecy; Anna Poage, food; Virginia Falls, program, and Remy Zuur, cleanup. In athletics, a new high was hit this year. The Oilers marched straight down the field to take the A.C.A.L. title. Seven graduating seniors showed great fighting spirit in achieving this goal. They were: Bobe Crane and Dante Lazzeretti, co-captains, Kenny Speer, Owen Henson, John Putkey, Walter Batchelder, and Jim Lowrie. Bob Crane, because of his scholastic ability and his good showing in athletics, was awarded a scholarship by the 20-30 Club. In the Honor Society this semester are five graduating seniors who have been awarded the platinum pin. They are Bob Hartwig, Wilma Brown, Lorraine Merriman, Lorene Prather, and Lillian Ander- son. Five other members of this January class made the Honor Society, and were graduated on the honor roll. CLASS OFFICERS GEORGE LAWRENCE JUNIOR SCOTT MARIE DONEY VERNA MILLER
