Mr. Young. Boys' Adviser, came to Davenport High School last year. Ho organized the Service Club, ond in his spare moments, if advisers have spare moments, he helps direct the wrestling team. May the memories recalled by this record of your high school days be ever happier as time goes on, serving to remind you of the high ambitions which are yours today as members of the class of '37. I appreciate the opportunities I have had of associating with you this past year. Paul A. Young Miss Soohrcn, who succcods Miss Esther Bissoll as Girls' Advisor, camo to us this year from Bluo Island. Illinois. Sho is also gonoral advisor of Student Club. The richest treasures you will know will be the friendships you have made. May you ever cherish the friendships you have formed here at D. H. S., and the associa- tions with both fellow students and mem- bers of the faculty. Just girls! Than to know them and to work among them, here is my own Alma Mater, what more could one desire?

Greetings From Our Principal To the Graduating Classes of 1937: The time has arrived when you have closed your books for the last time. Your tasks with us have been completed. Now you leave Davenport High School to take your place in life outside the school. Whatever your calling in life may be, you need to remember that the chief requisites to success are the old-fashioned virtues—accuracy, honesty, promptness, fidelity, the acceptance of responsibility—the virtues which we so often neglect as being out of date. They will go out of date with the multiplica- tion table and the alphabet, not before. Without them you cannot expect to climb to any worthy position whatsoever. The elevator to success is not running; take the stairs. Facts you have learned will soon go from you and often are not worth remembering. But methods, insights, appreciations, understandings, values—extracted from many studies, as attar of roses from many flowers—these will abide and travel with you through the years. My best wishes are extended to you for a happy and a successful life's voyage. May you find your greatest future joys in work well done and in a life crowned with good deeds. May you always experience that of which Robert Browning wrote:— I find earth not grey, but rosy The heavens not dull, but fair of hue; Do I stoop? I pluck a posy; Do I stand and stare? All's blue. Sincerely, A. I. Naumann 4
