THE CALL O'PAN • 1937 .................... team and the rest on the “C. Hockey and baseball were also well supported. For a term we led the school in scholarship. Another year passed and now watch us go—we’re third formers. Our ranks were augmented by Thomases Charlton and Spencer. We were well represented on both the “A and the “B” coefficient teams. Our interests were now beginning to expand. Whew! here we are way down here at the bottom of the Upper School. Lockers and study halls change. Our class is now beginning to take shape. Gale Burton, the versatile athlete, and Jack Youngquist were added to our numbers. Already we had two or three men on the varsity squads. We find Bean getting his letter on the “A football team, and Peddie. Thompson. Youngquist. and von Kuster doing likewise on the “B team. The story of our Sophomore year was much the same. We had several men on the varsity, though no one received a letter. The list of “B” lettermen was repeated on the “A” team. Burton took both hockey and tennis letters. Rosen-berry also received a tennis letter. Michelson and Clark did likewise on the swimming team, and Chuck Thompson and Peddie on the golf team. The years are slipping steadily by. and our time is approaching—we’re already Juniors. Three additions were made to the class. They were Chuck Thompson. Hank Hibbard, and Ralph Rosenberry. We had three varsity lettermen—Bean. Bissell. and Rosenberry. Burton again made the hockey and tennis teams; and swimming letters went to Michelson. Thompson. Clark, ami Thomson. Charlton was the only one to make his baseball letter. Rosenberry did the same on the tennis team, and Peddie and Thompson on the golf team. Bean, Clark. Oakes, Thompson, and Andrus were in the Glee Club. On the Publications Board we had Oakes, Peddie, Andrus, and Cook. In the Union we were represented by Bissell. Bean, and Rosenberry and on the Council by Bean. Rosenberry was the only member of the Junior class on the Debating team. Andrus. Bean, Cook, and Thompson were in the play. Finally we reach our last year—we’re Seniors. To tell the story of this year would for the most part be a long ami uninteresting list of activities and offices. There are eighteen of us. ft is really a rather motley group. We have our athletes, our scholars, scientists, orators, actors, and musicians. But few of us really excel. It’s just a group of boys. “Average you may call it. but steady— and in that we take pride. 18

THE CALL O'PAN 19 3 7 History of the Class of I ft.'t 7 The history of the class of 1937 is not startling, and in several years it will become obscured along with the stories of the other classes. But in that obscurity we shall take pleasure, for only then shall we be a true part of the school. If we were to go back to that well-known dreary September morning, to Miss MacDonald's first grade room, we could find but one member of our present class, namely. Charles I)avenj ort Cook. But by the time we reached Miss Sherin's room on the second floor, two more had been added—Bob Thomson and Steve Andrus. We made Viking paper ships, we played soccer in the yard, and we had milk and crackers at recess. After live years of this sequestered life, we were at last ready for the “Big School. And we did reach the ‘‘Big School, a bit dazed perhaps. Why, look here! We now have J. B. Bean, a little fellow with pink hair. Don Peddie of sports page fame, and Bob “Mique. We all went out for the “C team, and most of us made our letters. This was Mr. Bittinger's first year, and ours was the first “Death Valley team. Several were in the choir, and a few of us were in the orchestra. That year “Ped took the scholastic honors. The following year we had several additions to our number—Jack Bisscll, Tom Oakes, and Paul von Kuster. That fall we had fifteen men on the “B Burk How: Rosen berry. Cook. Bissell. Mr. Cleveland. Clark. J.. Hibbard, Mirhelson Second Row: Burton, (i., Peddie, Thompson, ( , Thomson. R.. Spencer, T.. Purdy, Oakes Front Row: Bean. Youngquist. Andrus, von Kuster. Charlton 17

THE CALL O’PAN 19 3 7 • • • • • llourno Steve Andrus joined the class of ’37 in the first form and lias been studying ever since. His ability to skip lunch in order to study has astonished the school, and during the exams he has been the envy of every other boy. Steve’s particular field seems to be English, in which course he amazes Mr. Cleveland with his original discoveries in the line of orthography. The vice-presidency of the Junior class was held by “Andy” and in the year 1036-37 he succeeded to the office of Senior class president. He was a member of the swimming squad this spring. He also held the presidency of the rather intangible but none the less existent Camera Club. He was an officer in both the Glee Club and the Dramatic Association, a t nion member, and the important work of the Press Club was intrusted to him. Haverford, in case you have not heard of it. is a college, and appears to be the lucky one to secure Steve. If. after due research, he manages to discover the locality of this college, he will undoubtedly graduate with high honors. in
