Ney High School 1937 - 1938

 

Coach Dudley Ebersole led the basketball team to glory, and the high school music students rated Excellent at their district competition in Bluffton.  The 1938 Valedictorian was Gladys Walters and the Salutatorian honors were taken by Lawrence Billow.  Midwinter carnivals, class plays and skating parties filled their days.
