Senior Graduating Class of 1938 SENIOR CLASS UFFICERS Stanley Mcck ...,....,.......... President Thane Tegetholf ......,...., Vice President Martha jane Abercrombie ..... . .Secretary XVcslcy Friek ............ .,.,., 'l 'reasurcr Our Freshman year found many students enrolled in our class. Although many new friendships were formed, the year passed without any social function being held. Some of our more ambitious classmates joined the various clubs in the school and thus initiated the beginning of their social life. Those of us with journalistic ability joined the staff of the school paper, The I-li-Life . During this first year we set the mold for the career toward which we were striving. Our Sophomore year began with various new faces among our classmates for we welcomed many students who had spent their first year as Penn High Freshmen at Thad Stevens School The class enrollment reached its peak during this year but receded during the next two years. In the middle of the year a class party was held in the gym where radios furnished the music for dancing and refreshments were served. Our first social gathering was voted such a success by everyone that we enjoyed another party. As juniors, we considered ourselves the treasure of the school. It was during this year that we made our debut as performers in the annual junior class play, Marry Before Midnight . Shortly after the presentation of the play our class sponsored a Valentine Dance. Many of us joined various clubs which extended to us their privileges. The election of class officers took place early in the year as we needed to have class representation at various meetings. The social event of the year turned out to be the junior-Senior Prom which was held in May at Alcoma Country Club with Art Giles' Orchestra. The junior year closed with us making plans for our future responsibilities as Seniors. Our Senior year commenced with classes in the new school building, where we all experienced thrills in finding our way about at first. To set the social whirl in motion our class held a party in the new gym with an orchestra furnishing the music for dancing. Many of us joined clubs and those who belonged to the Glee Club had the opportunity of taking part in an Operetta. A dance was held early in the year which was the first important social gathering of the Seniors. Our class sponsored a Year-book which was a new venture. Some of our classmates exhibited their skill as performers in the Senior Class Play at the close of the year. KND GOLD 15
