9 9 Q THE 1937 CLASS HISTORY UR class, the class of l937, had its dim beginning back in the dim autumn of l925. Coolidge had been president for a few years, that great rise before the fall, those boom days of ,29 were just starting, and people realized more and more each day that everything would be utopian forever and ever. lt was therefore with a great deal of assurance that our parents some twelve years ago first bundled us off for our first taste of scholastic life at the Albany Academy. 1 Now on the night of Commencement, there are just seven of the original twenty or so of that E Class that have resisted those grim two-fate and the economic depression. Of the Old Cuard only Wheeler, l-lannock, Bedell, Bridge, l-leisler, l-lemstead, and Smith can receive their diplomas with our class. Nevertheless, that September Wednesday in l925 was a significant day for our class as we came together for the first time at that building on the corner of Lafayette and Park Streets-now known as The Old Academy. Quite uneventfully we spent our first several years. Our first memories are of a certain Dicky Niles who used to kiss our Miss Russell good-bye each day. ln those first years we did, of course, learn to ready we learned to write, we eventually became adept in arranging colored pegs to the effect of two plus two are four. On some occasions we were led in calisthenics by some very impressive Sixth Formers, although we were still utterly ignorant of the fact that a Sixth Form even existed. Finally, we were sent up to a little house on Elk Street, there to spend two seasons with the oiled floors and queer staircases of the place. Then quite unexpectedly we found ourselves entering the A Class with a crowd of strangers, boys who soon learned our ways and became an integral part of us. Faint recollections are brought to our minds: the antics of one Tarril Weaver, a movie show by Miss jordan's section for the bene- fit of the New Academy, and an even greater benefit produced by Mrs. Potter's section-that superb drama, Appleseed john with the title role played by one jacob VanAernam. Remember Miss Mills and Miss Marsh and l-lerman Lang? Remember chapel on the stairs and under the piano and how we used to sing about green leaves growing around, around, around about green leaves growing all around? Remember when Wilkins gave Mrs. .1 I Vx .il Potter the mumps? Remember C-rasshopper Creen is a comical chap, he lives on the best of fare ? ll Then, with our life in the Lower school concluded with fitting cere- ,tjjj mony at Commencement exercises in june of l93O, we returned to the WS Ljxjis ll twmmtmitimmftmwm-swf Page twenty-eight Nz, iggf-,f -' C
