AN EMON E STAFF In answer to your request for an annual, we have tried to supply your wish by publishing the 1938 Anemone . We wish to thank everyone who has contributed to the making of this year book. With- out the support of the student body, the merchants, and the faculty, it would be quite impossible to have a year book for our school. One person alone in this world could accomplish little. Su it is with the editing of a year book. We gladly give the credit of publishing this annual to all the members of the class, who cooperated with the staff. Page Tliirly-sc1'4'11
