HANN AH REBECCA MITCHELL Woodside Emmy, Hockesrin, Delaware Born May 30, 1919 at Wilmington, Delaware HANNAH has the genius of being a cook, and a good one. Her chocolate cakes fwhich to the Senior Class are few and far betweenj, are truly marvels. That is the culinary side of Hannah, correct to a crumb. From another perspective, she might be found knitting sweaters of mysterious shape, which, when finished, turn out to lit or not to fit the future owners. On the hockey field, she stands stolidly between the goal posts, gripping her stick with shaking hands and trying not to be nervous as the wild, stick-brandishing team sweeps down upon her. This is only on fall afternoons. At other times during the day she is helping with the nursery school. Her spare moments are taken up with hunting pictures and quotations for her ethics notebook and raising velvety dahlias for the living room tables of Sunny Hills.

She is forever singing the praises of every orchestra anyone ever heard of, or singing all the popular songs. julie carries a general air of joviality with her, and drops it wherever she may happen to be going. Hockey playing holds no terrors for her, rather it holds terrors for her opponents. Her baseball throwing is really something to marvel at., She has gained recognition by her renderings on the piano of all the latest jazz pieces, spirituals, and slightly-jazzified-classic music.

History of the Class of l938 IN 1933, the present dignified, and much revered Senior Class had its beginnings in a small, round, red-haired boy, whose curly mop was the delight of the adoring women faculty, and who submitted, in a wriggling way, to being kissed goodnight by them. This was Randy Clark. The class also included a lanky, precocious female child with pigtails, who was in a lower grade, but who forged ahead to her present status. Thus was Ginny Daugherty, and all this took place in the dark ages before Sunny Hills even had an upper school. The next arrival, before the high school was formed, was Gwinnett jones, who startled the conservative peace with offensive bangs oozing down her forehead. In 1935, the comparative quiet was again broken by the arrival of the first Upper School students, who thought they owned the world, and first in this wonderful ownership was Barbara Beranger, openly scornful of everything below and above the exalted rank of a sophomore. The class was complete for that year. By the time next fall rolled around, Randy had shot up and become wary of admirers of his red hair, Ginny was as wild as everg Nettie, formerly Gwinnett, had had her first permanent, and Barbara had abandoned lipstick for classes. Then came three new arrivals: Hannah Mitch- ell, who told us all about farms and Quaker meetings, julie Stad with violin in tow, whose numberless musical family figured in every other sentence, and Dick Geiger, who never said a word. That spring came Mae Frank Pickering fFrankie, after the first dayj, from New Orleans, with that soft southern accent, and a new way of fixing her blond locks in a topknot. The members of the Class of 38, as juniors, grew and waxed strong. Hannah became famed for her birthday parties at her farm, julie for her uproarious laughter and piano jazz, Dick for his ping pong and latent ability to dance to the fastest rhythms.
