Class of 1938 On Their Way

The Class of 1937–1938 has started on its road out into the great unknown of the world. Their commencement exercises were held in the high school auditorium Tuesday night, and thirty‑two students who have stuck to the boat and completed the voyage are now ready to go forth in their several ways and meet the grim old world and tell it to its face that they are ready to do their part in solving the many problems which have brought gray hairs to the head and caused many a headache to this grim old brother.

Rev. Preston Taylor preached the Baccalaureate sermon at the Methodist church Sunday morning. On Tuesday night the commencement exercises were held in the high school auditorium, and Mr. Frank Jensen, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad, gave the address to the class. The diplomas were presented this time by J. T. Vandergriff, president of the board, and there were thirty‑two to receive these coveted receipts of work done in the school of years. The list of the graduates is given below.

Tyler Harrison of Coppell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Harrison, won the coveted honor of valedictorian, having an average grade for the four‑year work of 94.37.

Salutatorian was Loise Glenn Maberry with a four‑year average of 92.30. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Maberry, 2919 Elgin, Dallas, Texas.

Patti Loise Perry was in third place with her four‑year average of 88.128, and Harriet Vivian Lehman was fourth with a four‑year average of 87.75.

At the baccalaureate services a packed house greeted the student body in this their day of presentation. Rev. Preston Taylor had a message of merit and one which, we believe, went home to almost all of the students and will add to their stature in citizenship and enable them to attack with greater confidence the problems of life with which they come in contact.

The program, we are assured by those who are competent to judge such events, was the best that has ever been put on here in Carrollton, and that it was appreciated and that the singing by the glee club was highly regarded was evidenced by the many high compliments expressed.

At the close of the baccalaureate exercises last Sunday the Senior class and the faculty were entertained by Miss Stark at the Stark home on College avenue. After partaking of a wonderfully fine luncheon the class drove to Dallas and attended a show. This is an annual entertainment graciously given by Miss Stark to her class. This time it seemed the refreshments were above the customary excellence - could it have been the punch?

Tuesday night: The end of the school exercises, and a full auditorium greeted the students, faculty, and the speaker of the evening. The graduates were ranged on a pyramid on the stage and there with the faculty and the speaker they closed the evenful series of their final high school days by their "commencement" Exercises.
