Football '37 THIS year's football team has proven the most successful yet. What started out as a small scrub team several years ago, has at last taken its place near the top, winning every game but one this season. Always in the early fall, the team mate- rial is raw, but at the end there are more good players and more boys who have learned to love football as a sport, both as a game and as an opportunity to express sportsmanship and cooperation.

Hockey '3 7 EVER since there has been a Sunny Hills High School, there has been a Sunny Hills Hockey Team. As the school has grown, so has the team, with more coopera- tion and teamwork among its members than in the years before. At the beginning there were many who had never played, and so the few games we did were against us. The next year found the same members on the team, and there was more unity. There were more outside games, and we were not beaten by so much of a margin as before. We tied one game, and then worked harder than ever, so that this year we had something definite to build on. Practice became much. better, the players more experienced and adept. We played several games with other schools, scored every time except once, won two games, and tied one. Thus has the team grown. In gaining a more successful season, we have also gained better sportsmanship, and learned how important it is. It took a fairly long time, but it was worth it, and this year's hockey team leaves to next yearis hockey team the bottom rung on the ladder that leads to the best.

Class Will ofthe l938 . Seniors to the luniors THE remarkable, talented, and hard-working senior class of this year wish to present to their juniors such gifts as we think will be needful for their last year at school. Although we realize that the oncoming seniors do not have the won- derful capacity and will to learn and work as this year's seniors did, we will tolerantly overlook their shortcomings and fervently hope that they may follow to a small degree in the glorious footsteps of the seniors of 1938! Now on to the will! To Betty Harrington we leave all the stage properties in Sunny Hills for her to preside over and revel in. We want Betty also to inherit all those cute little jobs that belonged to our Senior Gavel Girl, Frankie, of chasing people to bed on the dot of ten-thirty, or pulling their warm covers off them every gray, freezing winter morning around 7 A. M. and barring the delights of breakfast to poor souls who have failed to finish their jobs when the mess call sounds. To Constance van Roden we leave julea Stad's male mania to further enchance her own, also julie's stargazing capacities so that Connie may be a more ardent astronomy student next year. To Bill Webb we leave Dick Geigerls quietness dur- ing classes in which looks like he always knows a lot, which he really doesfwell, we don't know! Randy Clark wishes to leave to his successor the habit of forgetting all Gavel Boy jobs, and so to come through an otherwise strenuous year with no worries or cares about anything. Billy Aydelott's post as class artist we turn over to Bill Webb, and with it all Billyls fast disappearing brushes, paints and rulers, to further his art, and also Billy's artistic temperament to hold it back. To Kimberley Doorly we leave all Nettie's boxes, papers, and numerous books for him to gain the knowledge worthy of a senior. We give him Barbara's studiousness everlasting classes and College Boards. And we give him a loudspeaker through which he will read to the world passages from his own work: Why I Am The World's Greatest Antagonistf' All revolutionary ideas and wild theories for this book will be donated by Ginny Daugherty. And lastly we give junior a complete set of new encyclopedias for him to correct and improve upon. To Bob Russell the Senior Class leaves enough money to supply Alice Thayer with candy for the whole of next year. Nettie leaves Bob Russell her physics- mindedness to console Len for the loss of all the brilliant seniors in next year's physics class. To Alice Thayer we leave all the alarm clocks in the school, and we give her free permission to set them back an hour or two whenever it's time for classes, meals, and bed, so she will have ample time fwe hopej to get 16 lotions on hands and face, 20 growing pills swallowed before each meal, and 15 thinning medicines drunk before each class. We donate to her 25 hair-dryers, one for each hour of the day and the ones to be used at 12 P. M. and 1 A. M. in the morning shall be stronger and larger than all the rest to save the war and tear of strenuous
