Senior Hisiorg As the school bell rang for the first time in the autumn of 1937, there were sixteen papooses enrolled in the freshman class. Of these, five were girls and eleven were boys. At the beginning or the second semester, another student, Thelma Tolles, joined the class, rais- ing the total membership to seventeen. The class, as a whole did not accomplish much but the members established themselves for a successful career throughout high school. In th fall of 1938, a fewer number of students of the class of '41 returned. The class gained another member, Marv Avey, but during the year lost Harold Potter, Frances Chenetski, Charles Porterfield, and Elmer Green. As in the freshman year the members showed their ability to take part in school affairs. Then came the Iunior year. The class again lost a member, Shirley Sangston and gained Twilla Lambert. Delvin Stone was forced to withdraw because of ill health. After elect- ing officers, they began to think of selecting class rings. Their junior play, Girl Shy, was given late in the year with much success, and the Iunior-Senior banquet was given. The Senior year, their final year, came at last. During the year Twilla and Evelyn Kidd dropped from the list and at last a total of eleven, the smallest class ever tio graduate from VY. H. T. S. was left. They elected officers, had their pictures taken, selected invita- tions, and selected a class play, Look Out Lizzie . They presented their play early in May. Their main obiective throughout the year was to raise money for their class trip and for that end they took part in many activities. The class is looking forward to Commencement and the members are each hoping for as successful a future as has been its history.

Hazel meets Richard Biltmore, a .stranger from the city. They fall in love with each other. This is an awful- according to 'Minnie Hall, the neighborhood gossip. However, Hazel's parents finally permit Richarii to come to see her. Hazel insists upo nreceiving him in style, so she makes the family doll up .
