3. 4. The food, fun, and fellowship of fhe banquefs sponsored by fhe Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y climaxed fhe close of our Sophomore Year. 2. A growing feeling of responsibilify, fogefher wifh more parficipafion in school acfivifes, were fhe facfors in making fhis second year a success. Wifh John Aungsf as major-domo, and wifh our emblem of whife and black flying overhead, we valianfly fackled fhe fhird year. Early in Sepfember we delved info fhe elusive mysferies of geomefry and physics. Befween fimes, we landed a neaf profif by fhe sale of sweefs af fhe various public funcfions of fhe school. Nafurally we fook much pride in fhe presenfafion and success of our Junior Class play, Oh, Professor! We also derived much pleasure in parficipafing in fhe lighf opera, The Pirafes of Penzance, by Gilberf and Sullivan. ln fhe Lancasfer Counfy Swimming Meef, fhe confesfanfs from our school, mosfly Juniors, scored second place. ln lafe May of fhis year, we enferfained fhe Seniors of fhe Class of '37 af fhe fradifional Junior-Senior Banquef. Planned wifh greaf care and anficipafed by many a fluffering hearf, fhis was fhe crowning social evenf of fhe year. 3. An increase in class spirif, and fhe realizafion of fhe nearness of our goal, gave impefus fo The work of fhis year. I937 - and for fhe lasf fime we approach fhose familiar scenes of downsiffings and uprisingsl Buf whaf a difference our feachers per- ceive in us! Insfead of fhe incorrigible freshness of youfh, behold fhe sfafus and imporfance of fhe Senior! Again we chose John Aungsf as our leader. During fhe foofball season our valianf feam baffled for vicfory on a mud-bedecked field. ln fhe realm of sfudies, many a weary hour was spenf by many a weary Senior laboriously faking Problems nofes, seeking affer fhe nuggefs of knowledge. On fhe ofher hand, fhe bloody scenes of Macbe+h afforded us relaxafion and delighf. ln lafe November, fwenfy-one Seniors gave venf fo fheir dramafic skill in fhe spirifed play, Growing Pains. The scenery for fhis pro- ducfion, made especially by fhe Senior boys, was somefhing of which we were iusfly proud. A successful baskefball season was followed by fhe presenfafion of fhe opera The Golden Trail by fhe mixed chorus. ln May of l938 fhose up-and-coming Juniors fefed us af fhe Junior- Senior Banquef. As in former years, fhe program and seffing for fhe banquef were secrefs jealously guarded in Junior circles, and so fhe occasion was especially delighfful fo all. The mulfifude of acfivifies of our Senior year was broughf fo a close by fhose long-anficipafed days, Class Day and Commencemenf. Wifh fwo emofions, gladness and sorrow, sfruggling in us for masfery, we fook leave of our High School, never again fo refurn as sfudenfs. 4. Thaf imporfanf roll of paper, fhe diploma, was fhe chief incenfive fo labor fhis year, nof fo menfion a burning desire fo fake our places in fhe world and apply all fhaf we had learned. CONCLUSION ln fhese brief years we have learned fo work hard, fo play equally hard, fo cooperafe, fo love fhe finer expressions of arf, and fo know fhe ups and downs of life. May we, no longer as a class, buf as scaffered individuals, carry on wifh fhe besf fhaf is in us! '23
