CPIHQCB The Garfield Record NO. 1, VOL. I. JUNE 4, 1937. SGHUUL UALENUAR UF 1937 HE school reporter ran a tempera- ture as he vainly awaited that tiny spark known as inspiration , He was thinking, at least assumed he was thinking, for he wasn't doing anything else. How he could best record the high- lights of the school year had put him in a quandary! Diaries had so often proved incriminating that he absolutely refused to even take a chance on a Simon-pure school diary. Why even waste time on a school calendar? he sighed. For after all old calendars are about as stale as last year's crop of kisses and are always thrown in discard and immedi- ately forgotten. Not that the 1937 Gar- field-ite isn't interested in dates , but whe1'e he was and what he was doing on said day of said year fades into utter insi nificance as he lans ho efull fm g - P P Y ' the coming week-end. So why should your reporter sit here with quill pen poised high in air over a sheet of fools- cap recording dates when Benny readers won't even work up a yawn over it? In fact, as the matter stands at the present, it is about a fifty-fifty bet whether to write up a review of the year and throw it 'away or have it p1'inted only to see fellow students leaf hurriedly by to look at school pictures and read the class prophecy in rhyme. But perhaps when this yea1 s graduates may be in a rem- iniscent mood, they may enjoy glancing over some salvaged memoirs of high school days. The Benny staff does not boast a Walter Winchell, so nothing new and startling will be revealed nor will any attempts made by wise students to put something over on the unsuspect- ing faculty, be aired. The school year started September 1-1 with students and teachers all a-flutter. Mr. Bowles, who had replaced Mr. Royer, was the only 'addition to the faculty. The school kept one jump ahead of the students by having some of the registration completed before the sche- duled opening date. The plan seems to be a paragon of efficiency, for before the girls had had half time to confide all their summer romances, classes were functioning in mid-semester form. Of course students still continued to rush about as frantic as Bluebeard's wife, but after all a student has to be stepped up about 40 per cent in order to enroll with all the teachers that understand and appreciate him. Alas and alack! Perhaps after all this burst of speed he finds that the schedule has been 1'ear- ranged. Future classes should have something done about this trying situa- tion. The medal fo1' the biggest smile open- ing day went to our esteemed coach, Mr. Pike, who had slipped one over on the students by becoming a happy bene- dict during the summer vacation. The freshmen as usual looked so small and insignificant to upper classmen that they began to worry for fear we are rapidly developing into a race of pyg- mies. However, there was some excuse if this year's class seemed a trifle di- minutive, for old Sol's 1936 fury would have reduced an Aesop fable giant to the size of a Christmas candle. New students seemed a bit worried and per- plexed even as you and I did at the be- ginning of our freshman year. After all whether to take Latin and be able to read the dates on public buildings or to study French so as to more intelligently decipher a menu card is a pretty vital and weighty problem to solve in your young and tender years. But cheer upg in another year these same little fresh- men will be so smart that you can't sell them a second hand geometry unless all the corollaries have been carefully worked out. The registrar's report showed our en- rollment to be smaller than last year'sg in fact we had become the smallest but most select high school in Terre Haute. But who wants an enrollment that reads like a war debt, especially when one considers the size of the as- tContlnued on page 695 t 'x-is 9 N fl el -N I Xl YW :ITF fl .bg fi' f i':- Yi 'V' 1 9 3 7 T Ning E' 4
