IANLIARY CLASS PGEM ' Mary Allred, Poet As we set out on life's great voyage, Some look back with wistful eyes At comrades and friends upon the shore. One smiles here, there another sighs. Then let us face the future cheerfully, For us much greater tasks await: The brave will carry on forever: The cowards shirk and await their fate. There will be storms and dangers near. Fear not, meet the challenge face to face Steer the ship forward, ever onward With the right and truth of the race. We need not glory, need not fame To make us strong, to make us grow. We need truth's universal flame To give us wisdom, might and glow. Always seek the pure, strive to attain itg Lose not yourself in the mire of earth. And when the journey at last has been ended We'l1 find our striving has been of great worth BLACK AND GCLD rv

IANUARY CLASS HISTORY 4.,4,, . Robert Shelton, Historian The long looked for event has at last arrived, and as yet we can hardly real- ize it. ln the year 1934, just four years ago, when we, as wide-eyed, bewildered freshmen entered these portals of learn- ing, the years that lay ahead of us till our graduation loomed far in the distant future. Now that we are looking back- ward instead of forward, these years seem all too brief. ln 1934, one hundred and forty green, young freshmen were initiated into high school life and struggled through the freshman year, which now seems to us the hardest of our school life. But with the help of Miss Heilig, our sponsor, and Albert Wilson, our representative in the Council, we finally pulled through the hardships of the first year, and stepped lively into the sophomore life. With Bill Cofer as president and Mrs. Reich as sponsor, we gradually assumed our places in school life. By our second year we had forgotten most of the bash- fulness that was characteristic of our freshman year. Betty Reynolds was elected president of the Girl Reserves and Helen Lewis was our star in athle- tics. Gwen Morris and Iohn Bryant were the class's outstanding musicians. Albert Wilson again represented us in the Council. Time marches on: therefore by lan- uary, 1936, we had developed into jun- iors. Age was telling on us and we felt very old and wise. ln this year we be- gan to feel it our duty to give advice freely to the younger people of our Page thirty-six school. We also realized that life was passing by and all work and no play makes lack a dull boy. With Albert Wilson as president and Mrs. Reich as sponsor, we passed one of our happiest years. We laid away our childish games with our childish clothes. The boys donned long pants. combed their hair, and began to slip notes to the girls whom they had thrown spit balls at and teased in various ways the years before. The social activities were climaxed by the long looked for Iunior-Senior dance at the Country Club. This dance made us realize that the curriculum of our high school will not be complete until a course in training the adolescent feet is made compulsory. It would be hard for anyone to ana- lyze the mixed emotions of a senior: the joy of achievement, the sorrow of part- ing from classmates and teachers, and the anticipation of a richer, fuller life ahead. The honor of being senior presi- dent was bestowed upon Rose Lefko- witz, and Council members were Richard Bean and Robert Shelton. To Margaret Moran fell the honor of being elected into the National Honor Society. Thus it was year by year, rung by rung, our members decreased until now fifty out of the one hundred forty who started out in 19311 have reached the top of the ladder on which we stand before you now. This is but a brief history of the class of Ianuary, 1938. Our future nows lies in the hands of fate and our class prophet, Betty Reynolds. REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL
