1939 Cedrus Yearbook

SENIUB 1111A0UATIS CLASS OFFICERS Orval Labig, Clyde Walker, Jane Frame, Bennett McNeal. We don't want to go. Some of us may say the last sixteen years have made us tired of school. Inside us our true voice keeps saying, "It isn't so." We want to stay. We want to keep our friends, our books, our life. We've worked with friends—the students and professors. We've lived with friends —this whole friendly community. We don't want these friendships to fade to chance or annual meetings. We want to stay. Don't the years slip by swiftly? Only yesterday we were sixty-five strong. We pulled the typical freshman boners, perhaps a little more than we do now, but we have memories too, fine memories. We danced around the ball diamond, aided by the touch of upperclassmen's belts, splashed across Willow bend, and "tooth-brushed" the front steps. Our class was prominent in sports and other extra-curricular activities. In the fall of '36 we weren't so green, not so scared as we had been the year before. During our sophomore year we worked harder,—played harder, for we realized our ranks were to be divided. Seventeen Juniors registered for the next fall term. When we weren't worrying about our candy money we found time to make up two-thirds of the baseball nine, and two-fifths of the basketball five. The class was also active in social clubs, singing clubs, and the eating club. This year, John Fox is President of the Student Body and Y.M.C.A. Benny McNeal is Editor of the Cedrus and Steward of the Boarding Club. Clyde Walker, a scrapper who has stayed with us in spite of serious injuries, is our class president. Jane Frame, Bea McClellan and Ray Sisson are three- fourths of the Mixed Quartette. The girls have been active in sorority work. Cecil Thomas, member of both ball clubs and Steward of the Boarding Club for half the year, left us to teach at Arcanum. Ken McNeal is our ball star. He set a new record by scoring 27 points against Wilberforce. Angus Murray is our World Affairs man. Noah Sharpe is our Mr. Fixit. Mel Page Eighteen
