maori QLASSYHIS om' N the fall of l934, the class of '38 began life at Shawnee-Mission as 234 inexperienced but willing freshmen. To lead their class they chose Virginia Brooks, president, Jesse Cox, vice-president, Dolores Tucker, secretaryg Wini- fred Alden, treasurer, and Bettye Lotz, historian. Rising to the rank of sophomores and having escaped the freshman state with their lives, new officers were elected to guide the now firmly established class. They were Albert Coates, president, Ed Linquist, vice-presidentg Niaurinc Russell, secretary, and Betty Curry, treasurer. Under the guidance of llfliss Beulah Wilcj', one cf the sponsors, the class presented a play entitled The New Coed . Clive Mae Quarrie: and Waldo Burger displayed their talents along with a very able cast. The fact that this play was the first to be presented by any class in sophomore history of the school was the pride and joy of the class for many moons to come. Activity began in earnest when the class of '38 returned as juniors. They were upper classmen then and officers took a place second to the National Honor Society members. Since five per cent of the entire class was permitted seats in the society, the nine persons to warrant this privilege were: Albert Coates, Betty Curry, Maxine Gilbreath, Esther Earnshaw, Virginia Brooks, Winifred Alden, Bettye Lotz, George Phillips, and Maurine Russell. The main social event of the year was the annual Junior-Senior Prom. It was held in the new school gym, which was decorated as a formal garden and deli! cately lighted with soft, pastel lighting effects. The year's officers as chosen by class vote were: Virginia Brooks, presidentg Bob Johnson, vice-presidentg Esther Earnshaw, secretary, and Warren Livengood, treasurer. The play presented by the class was a comedy, A Good Egg, and its leading roles were filled by Jimmy Lynn, Virginia Brooks, and Walker Vvharton. Miss Beulah Wiley again acted as the able director. After three years at the Alma Mater, the loyal members of class of '38 t d f re urne or a busy and important last year. The masculine influence exerted itself when officers were chosen and the following were selected: Albert Coates, president, Ed Linquist, vice-presidentg Robert Johnson, secretary, R b J ' - ' o ert ustice, treasurer, and Warren Livengood, historian. Being allowed ten per cent of the c Honor Society, the sixteen to be elected by the faculty and old members were: Norman Bruce, Waldo Burger, Betty Grace Dille, Ted Garrett, Jack Howe, Ed Linquist, Warren Livengood, Virginia Mayer, Mildred Petersen, Olive Mae Quarrier, Robert Singleton, Floyd Smith, Elizabeth Spencer, Ted Weber, Walker Wharton, and Betty Lou Zarn. lass as candidates for the National As usual, the class presented two plays directed by Miss Ruth Browne, public speaking instructor. The last program presented entirely by seniors and representing a farewell, so to speak, will be Class Night. Sho tl f r y a ter this, the class of '38 will become staunch alumni and will leave the halls for the oncoming freshmen. I0 ..,.-..., 's ...am---.-..s, .......s,.-f,s.,.' .- - -- TI-IE INDIAN
