We, the class of 1937, entered the high school in September, 1933, with 130 members, one of the six largest classes in the history of our high school. Under the sponsorship of Miss Brecht and Mr. Boswell we elected the following class officers: James Cain, president; Mildred Heck, vice-president; Grace Allsman, secretary and treasurer. James Grant, winning his basket ball letter, brought the Freshman class into prominence in the school life. At the beginning of our sophomore year, 1934, we elected class officers as follows: James Grant, president; John Falter, vice-president; Tom Davies, secretary and treasurer. The sophomore class continues to play an important part in the school sports, Frank Elam winning his football letter and James Grant both his football and basket ball awards. Miss Betz, taking the place of Miss Brecht, became class sponsor with Mr. Boswell, and under their guidance we decorated the auditorium for Baccalaureate services and commencement exercises. Returning in the fall of 1935 quite to resume our activities in our school life. We elected the following class officers: James Cain, president; Frank Elam, vice-president; John Falter, secretary and treasurer. Early in the year we selected class rings and pins. During the year, several members of the class took part in a series of one-act plays and in the operetta.

Basket ball letters were awarded to John Falter, captain-elect, and Frank Elam. In the last year of our high school career, we elected Robert Goldsmith, president; Tom Davies, vice-president, and Mary Davis, treasurer. Having secured the permission to publish an annual, we selected the following staff: Charlotte Prather, Ruth Faucett, Emagene Foster, Tom Davies, Robert Gold- smith, Mildred Heck, Mary Davis, Jim Cain, Charmian Bloom, John Falter, Clarence Simon. A one-act play under the direction of Miss Wakelin and an operetta under the direction of Miss Cochrane were given.
