1 T HE' SHENANDOA SHS Rural Students V One group of students in the Shenandoah High School of which we should be es- pecially proud, because of their intelligence, honesty, dependability, and interest and cooperation in the school activities, is that of the rural students. Approximately two hun- dred rural students are en- rolled in the high school this year most of whom are pic- tured at the left. Many of these students live a great distance from school and on many occasions it is a real hardship for them to get to and from school. In winter they have snow blocked, ice covered roads over which they must travel, and in spring they drive through rain and mud. These con- ditions necessitate the early arising of the students in order to avoid tardiness. In spite of these handi- caps many rural students in the past have been valedic- torians and salutatorians and many students on the honor rolls have been from rural districts. When possible, rural students have entered into extra-curricular activities whole heartedly and eflicient- ly, showing a marked spirit of enthusiasm and coopera- tion. As perseverance brings success, many of our rural students after overcoming hardships will have obtained a stronger character and will be better able to cope with the battles of life. 4+ee as e 1 937,

Miss Mabel Hunter and Mr. Robert McMullen are our class advisors. The freshmen party was great fun. Life wasn't all fun, however, as there was a lot of digging-in to be done in order to master such dif- ficulties as algebra equations, Latin etc. Under Miss McCauley's leadership we entered the world of business, and by hard work and excellent cooperation made our advertising sale so popular we managed to pay our class quota to The Shenandoah. In music we are proud of our achievements in both band and or- chestra. We are also gaining recognition in vocal and declamatory divisions. It really seems we have grown overnight, mentally. Since enter- ing S. H. S. most of us have gained a broader perspective. All in all we think that high school is grand and we look forward with eagerness to that happy event in the future, graduation. We thank you, ladies and gentlemen. You have been listening to station FROSH, broadcasting from Shenandoah High School, Shen- andoah, Iowa. Emily Murray - - 1 n 2 l 1 I 1 4 ' 7' ' 1 9 3 7 V - 'W I
