Page 3 OUR ADMINISTRATORS SA Y: In the East the schools and colleges sometimes bask in- dolently in the summer sun of a long-time tradition. Some this tradition stimulates, others it strangles. We are in the middle period where we have the fine traditions of many High School generations of sucess ar-d achievementebut we also have the freedom of pioneers in the field of secondary education. We have the traditions, yet they are so fine that they do not bind our action to all the practices of two or three centuries. Such an enviornment must be a stimulus to the members of the Class of 1938. These fine citizens will assume their full citizenship responsibilities and go on to help strengthen the new traditions of the new school in this Great West in which we live. Itis great to be alive and have a part in the solutions of these problems our Democracy faces. - -Evan E. Evans, Superintendent. Board of Education ....,,,4,.,. Dr. M. W. Baden Mr. R. E. Greiner Mr. L. C. Barnard, Pres. Mrs. Paul Guy Mrs. R. B. Dzmlevy Mr. Ray Hill This publication coming as it does at the close of the school year is significant as it depicts in picture and story the history of a year's life in the career of Winfield,High School. An institution such as this willexist for many years, achievements will come, dramatic moments will occur, friend- ly rivalries will continue on stage and court, contests will be won and lost, students will bring great credit to themselves and their Alma Mater, but this one thing is significant. Never again in the history of this universe .will these ex- periences occur with the same set of actors, the identical participants as in the yearjust passed. Those moments have gone forever and exist only in memory. 1 It is fitting that we publish a year book, a memory book if you please that makes record of these happenings. In future years this publication will grow more precious, as through its pages our memories are stimulated to recall old friendships, tense moments of excitement, the glory of achievement and a thousand personal elements with their particular significance to the persons involved. To the staff and sponsor I wish to express my interest and commendation upon this splendid piece of work. 'Herbert C. Hawk, Principal
