THE TRIDENT 1937 Greetings The Class of 1937, through the medium of the 'l'1zlmcN'r lloard. takes great pleas- m'e in presenting to the public the 32nd annual edition of the TRIDIQNT. As our yearbook goes to the press. the Editor and his colleagues are holding their breaths and plugging their ears in antici- pation of the criticism which must inevi- tably follow: however, it is hoped that the l937 edition of the TRIDIQNT shall command a just amount of appreciation. Pl' HK Pk A Vote of Thanks XVe wish to thank Mr. Gordon, our Prin- cipal, and Mrs. Lawrie, our Faculty Ad- viser, for their efforts and cooperation to make this edition a success. A Club Period Among the students of Brewer High School there is a great lack of interest in clubs. ln the past several have been organized, but they have eventually become nonexistent. This con- dition is undoubtedly due to the scarcity of time in which to attend meetings and to par- ticipate in the functions of the various organi- zations. The idea has been suggested that there be a special period each week devoted entirely to club work. This period should be of forty min- utes duration and. of course, come during the regular school session, though it should not. however, occur at the same time each week. The first club period could be the first forty- minute period of the Monday morning session! and next should follow the second forty minute period of Tuesday's session of the following week and so on throughout the year. Such a system would serve to restore inter- est in club functions and should provide more social activities for the students. -o-o-o-o-o- Sportsmanship Every school has its faults, both large and small, and dear old Brewer High isn't any exception. Most of these faults are so deeply imbedded in the traditions of the school that it would be impossible and perhaps undesirable to eradicate them. There is, however, one blemish on the char- acter of our school, which must be eliminated if we are to be respected by other schools. This defect is poor sportsmanship practiced by some students while attending athletic contests, es- pecially basketball games. Several times dur- ing the season the referee was forced to delay the game in order to request some over- enthusiastic fans to stop booing the opponents. Strong school spirit is much desired, but it should not be allowed to violate the laws of respect and honor. I,et us endeavor to maintain friendly and respectful affiliations with the neighboring schools, and not mar our relationships by un- sportsmanlike conduct. The Editor.
