They are Lena Mam: Truelock, Glen Nelson, and Wanda White, All of these three go along, adding new members to the class at various times. Eva Nola Welch, Athenia Ebcling, and Eugene Cupp joined the class during the second year. During “he third year Thomas Trull was welcomed. The next stop, fourth grade.Weldon Barton and Billy Howard stepped up a grade and were joined, on coming aboard by Thorley Nanning, and J.E, Whi+'- Katheryn Sulser joined during the sixth year.

Daughtry, during our Sophomore year by Mr. Glen Reeve; in our Junior year, by Miss Wynona Swepstcn.ard the first half of our Senior by Miss Bortinia Howell and now we bid farewell with regret to Mrs. V.C. Bearden. Slowly but surely the grandest of all years has drawn to a close. The senior gang turns to graduation with regret, hope, and sincere fondness f:-r Spring Lake High. y 5SSK85 for pete's sake Friday evening, December 17, the Senior play, under the direction of Miss Bertinia Howell, class sponsor, was present- ed in the Gymnasium. The cast was: Miss Sarah Pepperdine, Peter’s aunt—Lena Martha Truelock Jasmine Jackson, Aunt Sarah’s darky cook---Eva Nola Welch Cicero Murglethorpe, Dean of Elwood College---Eugene Cupp Peter Pepperdine, Always in hot water---------Glen Nelson Bill Bradshaw, Peter's Pal-------------------Billy Howard Thorndyke Murglethorpe, A college grind----VTeldon Barton Mrs. Georgina Clarkston, A social climber-----Ruth Koonce Nadine Clawkston,Peter’a Sweetheart-------——Katheryn Sulser Peggy Clarkston, Bill’s Sweetheart——-Margarett Cranfill Malvina Potts, Muggsy's Goddess------------Athenia Ebeling John Boliver, A wealthy banker---------------—J.C. Wright Dupont Darby, Poet of Elwood College----------J.E. White Sarah Pepperdine decided to take a trip to the Holy Land and leave her nephew, Peter, in charge of Uiorndyke (Muggsy) lfcurglethorpe to study the course in Latin which he had pre- viously felled. Soon after the departure of his aunt, Peter began to form a plan by which he and his best paj. gJH, g9tlld n� ke some IM fo li Peter's plan was rental of nxs auntTs home to her worst enemy, Mrs. Clarkston. As his aunt has let all of the servants go for the summer Peter’s plans for Muggsy, Bill, and himself to act in disguise as servants for the Clarkstons fitted the picture perfectly. This would enable the boys to spy on Peggy and Nadine Clark- ston, with whom they were in love. Peter's plans worked perfectly until he received a tele- gram from his aunt telling him she had changed her plans and was coming home. This unexpected action presented a problem. He must get the Clarkstons out of the house before his aunt arrived. After Peter’s failure to scare them out of the house,he enacted a scheme which got him out of his complicated jam and restored his aunt’s faith in Bill, Nadine, and Peggy. Peter promised never to tell another lie and his aunt consented to his marriage to Nadine.

A hideous scarecrow with long straw fingers and e skull mask, appeared several times to choke some Victim, but each time some one would come in and the scarecrow would leave. Miss Amelia tried to speak to the ghost of her dead brother, and instead Roderick Gage stepped from the window. He proved to be alive, however, and in his fear the butler confessed that he had stolen the diamond in- stead of his master, Roderick. Roderick planned to build his home into a hospital and asked Kenneth to become superintendent. Kenneth accepted when his cousin, Norma accepted his proposal. They were to be made heirs to Roderick's fortune at his death. The play was successfully presented under the direction of Mr. V.C. Bearden on February 24 before a large audience.

The Basketball season started out very slowly by the Wolverines taking several defeats, but in the latter part of the season improvement was shown by defeating some of the best teams in this district. The boys were greatly dissap- pointed at the end of the season by not being eligible for the County tournament caused by the mix up in entry fees. In the last tournament of the season, the boys won the consolation in the F.F.A. tournament.

SPRING LAKE PAKENT TEACHER'S ASS'N. 19 3 8-1 9 3 9 President—-Mrs. J, L. Hinson; Vice President—Mrs. Herman Haberer; Secretary-Treasure-Mrs. N. F. Cleavinger. The object of the Parent-Teacher Association is to pro- mote the welfare of children and youth in the home, the school and the church. It is a non-commercial, non- political, and non-sectarian group working only for the best interests of childhood in each community according to the needs peculiar to that place. Our own local unit has a paid-up membership of fifty-six for this year. We are also a member of the National and State Parent-Teacher Association. We were on the Endowment Honor roll at Spring conference for having contributed two dollars to that form of extension work. Mrs. Haberer was the only one from our unti to attend the State convention held in Lubbock last November. How- ever we had our full quota of voting delegates at the spring conference in Crosbyton. Those attending wore Mesdames N.F. Cleavinger, Pete Parish, R.L. Drake, CJocll Parish, Herman Haberer, and J.L. Hinson. Money making should never be stressed too much in Parent- Teacher work but the needs of our children and school are always so numbrous that it is hard not ,o emphasize that point. We did purchase the bass drum for the band which was about the extent of our help in a financial way. The program committee is to be commended for the fine type of programs that have been given this year. The year- book committee also did a fine piece of work, winning third place at Spring conference. We are deeply grateful for the fine cooperation we have had from the faculty and rejoice in the friendly under- standing and support gigen us by the whole community.

Mr. Bearden (Just before the play was produced): Now then we're ready, run up the curtain. Elvis: Wot yer talkin' about—'run up the curtain'—Think I'm a bloomin' squirrel? It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. Modette Lewis said: When I am sad, I sing, and then others are sad with me.

During an exciting game of football Glen had two fingers of his right hand badly smashed, and on his way home from the ground he dropped into the doctor’s to have them attended to. Doctor, he asked, anxiously. When this hand of mine heals will I be able to play the piano? Certainly you will, the doctor assured him. Then you're a wonder, doctor.
