Uandl I938 iiflitodzy. of the CiZa,M, og 7 938 N0 lfour years ago, we, the class of '38, embarked upon a long, and difficult voyage. During the first year we chose Bob llunn, captain, Carl Hansen, first- mate, Howard Bowden, purser, and Ruby Lees, scribe of the log. These four were a very efiicient crew and helped the seamen on the ship of eduction to become recognized. The first event which ofiicially initiated the newcomers into the activities of the school was the Valentine party. The Sub-Freshmen served as deckhands in this event. The rest of the season the Freshmen devoted them- selves to the study of their lessons and to acquainting themselves with the school and its activities. Vyhen the class of '38 re-entered the next fall, they were a very changed I - rs - - y rw - - group ot voyagers. l his time they elected W alter lerpennmg as captain, Dorothy Huntington as first mate, Ruby Lees as purser, and Byron Martin as scribe of the log. They became active in athletics, dramatic productions, assemblies, puppet show, and many other extra-currricula activities. Again they carried off the honors at the Valentine party, which was their big contribution. On the third year of their voyage, the seamen had earned their stripes. Tom Munson was designated captain, Edward Bussman, first mate, Byron Martin, scribe of the log, and Ruby Lees, purser. Departing from their tradition, the crew sponsored the Christmas party instead of the Valentine party, as was pre- viously the custom. The first dramatic production which belonged to the crew exclusively was the class play, The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Vyilde. The play was both a financial success and a dramatic triumph. The event heralded as the biggest in our third trip was the farewell banquet and dance given for the Seniors. We closed the year looking forward to the last year of our voyage with confidence and hope. Seniors 2 The name sounds like music, a little sad and a little glad, for we have only one year left on our beloved ship. To man the vessel this time, we chose -lean jacob, captain, Tom Munson, first mate, Cornelia Green, scribe of the log, and Jerree Adams, purser. The first date of importance on our calendar was Hallowe'en3 at that time the Seniors gave the first all-school party. The Senior year is always the busiest, and our last year was no exception. In De- cember we presented our class play, Philip Barry's ever popular, The Young- est. The Seniors figured prominently in basketball with Tom Munson as their captain. lt has been the custom of the Seniors to sponsor the annual puppet show, and this year the play was, Snow Wliite and the Seven Dwarfs. The script was written by Phoebe Vestal, and the production was managed by .lo Ann Munson. Something a little unique was offered by the class of '38 this year. NVe or- ganized the talent of the group and displayed it in the Senior Talent Assembly. Another assembly sponsored by the Seniors was the U and l Assembly for the purpose of advertising the yearbook. The highlight of the voyage was the mid- shipman's swing, known to the land-lubbers as the Junior-Senior Prom. Although we have docked at last, we survey the ship with the sadness of farewell, regretting to leave the docks we once scrubbed for new ships to sail. Sarah .lean Gray Pays .Sii'1'c11rt'm1

Uandls, C 1933 Gian Yhovfafreay, W0 Vyhen we fell off the back end of a truck, striking our heads on the pave- ment, we saw stars in the future. Here they are: Marge llacon, a member of good old Uni High, has just invented and pat- ented a new tennis racket. lt is a combination baseball bat and old-faslzrioizva' racket. You swat the ball with both hands. lt is dedicated to the three o'clock gym class of Uni High. .lohn Klurphey is now running the lfresh-Air Taxi Cab Company. He rents out bicycles, tricycles and roller skates. tAlso kiddiecars.l Margaret Burlison is now the much publicized cello-soloist with the Phil- harmonic Symphony. The national president of the Society for Stray Canaries is the Ethel Rose Scott of the '38 class of Uni High. After six years in the University, Hal llilyeu finally attained a position on the fifth team. The manager of the Burned-Steaks Cafe, Vesta Stovall, serves axes with each steak because the gravy can't be cut with an ordinary knife. Hear ye, hear ye, calling cards made while you wait, on the Midway, Silch- llottom Circus grounds. Ah, what a fate for Eddie Bussman. The dynamic Speaker of the House, Old lron-Head to friends and rivals alike, is the Stuart Tanner we all knew so well. The second secretary to the assistant pen-holder of the Tasteless Chewing Gum Factory is none other than lsabel l-lutler. The famous Monsieur lfaux l'as, VVomen's Hairdresser of New York, Paris, and San Francisco, is none other than Hob Clevenger. Dorothy Huntington of Miami, Florida. Long Beach, California, and Nice, lfrance was seen in her newest creation of an evening topper at the Children's lleneht Show. The famous creations are sold under the name of Horsey-Hats by Huntington. The leading woman physicist of Common Trolley Lines lnc. is Nina Cofhng, who spends her spare time playing the piano. lean lacob, the American-born genuine French governess of the Smythe Sextuplets, has, at last, something to worry about. llernice Cook has taken the place of Dorothy Lamour in Hollywood. lt'S because of her long, wavy hair. She usually plays opposite Robert lirabbe who is the new-found Tarzan of the Yipee Picture Corporation. The organizer of the llig Sister Movement in Middleberg for the reduction of delinquency among girls is the -lane Creighton of Uni High days. l ayv lf1'y1lm'rlx
