HIGH LIGHTS OF 1937-38 MAY 3rd: We wondered what it was 11 about when those class bells seemed to go hay wire, the schedule shifting a couple of times during the morning After the third period Major Brown told us that we were to march down to the Main Street theatre where we were the guests of Earl Ebert's mother and dad. They showed us a number of pictures taken on their trip around the world. What a blessing indeed I Much better to sit here and watch the kaliedesopic universe pass in review than to sweat on the drift field MAY Kith: The Kansas City mother arc Wentworth's guests for the day. Mrs Craumer prepared an extra fine dinner and wr all had a good time. Most of the mothers report that they arc pleased at the fine work their sons arc doing. MAY 14th: Colonel R. F Palmer, formerly P M S. A T. here, now with the Adjutant General’s office in Washington drops in for the day. After seeing that look of approval on his face, we need not ask him what lie thinks of the 1938 battalion. MAY 15lh: Extra’ Extra! Major Wikoff is full of smile . For a while we thought he had beaten Colonel J. M. Scllors at tennis again, but upon investigation we learned that Wentworth has just purchased the country club property. This is a big step forward The board has definitely approved horse back riding for next year ... so, here's your chance fellows. Practice up this summer; and next year you can give us a lesson or two, MAY 17th: The Wr Club members surprised us at the special assembly this morning. Bill Kramer, in behalf of the “W Club group presented the school with an electric scorer ami timet. Colonel J. M Selleis accepted the gift in the name of Use Academy. MAY 21st: The Marine Corps of Kansas City swooped down out of the blue sky in their second annual air raid upon the Wentworth corps. Nine planes and their pilots led by Captain Peters, U.S.M.G, attacked our boys about two miles outside of town. We made a fine showing this year. Last year those Marines did catch us off guard, hut we fooled them this year. Everyone enjoyed the raid except Dick Estrin. and no wonder, you should see that poison ivy that he contacted out in the fields! MAY 21st: The High School W Club banquet is held tonight, just another event to make us mine that school is nearing a dose. MAY 25ch: The photographer was up on the campus today taking pictures of Captain Pike's invention, the alto horn. Later on in the day Dr. Lewis G. AJlcn, University of Kansas, came down to lecture to us on radiology. The doc was a good snort and he let us toy with his equipment, to give each other X-ray examinations. Thank the Lord the instructors don't have one of those machines around when they give us those final exarm. MAY 28th: Cadet Major Royal G Danlcy and his snap drill squad and King's Honor squad go up to Hamburg, Iowa, where they have a prominent role in the annual Peony Festival. The boys put on three drills a day, and they even managed to crash the radio and the big city newspapers. Was Ken put in his place when he attempted to make the queen! At least we am t help but give a fellow credit for trying, even if he doesn't get to first base MAY 29th: College W Qub banquet at the Victory. JUNE 1st: Comcmncemcnt Day. Dr. Harry lee of Kansas Gty speaks at the ceremony. A grand day ... a grand year . . . yes, I was so anxious to have the O. G check me out . . . but now that it is all over, I wish that I were bock at old Wentworth once again!
