Valedictory Carol Erlenbach E, THE class of 1937 stand before you tonight, as Seniors, for the last time. Already others are crowding to fill our places and we must join the other alumni of Liverpool High. During our stay here many privileges and advantages have been conveyed upon us and we thank the faculty and all the others who have helped to make this a memory to cherish through the years. Tonight our class has been likened untoa fleet nestled together for the last time and for this last meeting we have chosen the harbor at beautiful Hawaii, for reasons already related. For four years our little fleet has been sailing calmly in the harbor, riding the ripples of work and pleasure, basking in the sunshine of our teacher's commendation and - occasionally in the clouds of their wrath. Tonight we weigh our anchors and begin that voyage into the sea of action where each one of us must steer his craft toward the goal of the future where we will encounter storm, fog, and shipwreck, mingl- ed with joy, happiness and, we hope, success. There shall be the ship that will sail, with colors flying, for Hollywood, where its pilot will en- deavor to be an actress, perhaps one craft will skim the wave as it travels to Europe where it's pilot may study art. Undoubtedly, some of these ships will dock for a time at college so the pilots may become better fitted for the voyages that lie before them. We may only predict what may happen but we know our ships will drift and might become grounded before success is achieved so we must be efficient captains to chart our courses. It will take courage to overcome the difficul- ties but we must remember that the graduates of Liverpool High School are well equipped to become capable of withstanding storms. We wish to improve our ships so we may surpass the power of the Queen Mary on the voyage upon which we shall embark. We have given you a glimpse into the future as we see it, and before we, the class of '37 set sail: We pledge a smile to the future And what it is to be. Wish us God speed and bon voyage, As we bid farewell to Thee. A Junior All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players, They have their exits and their entrances, O YOU remember these lines? How well we all do. We Juniors learned these same lines as part of our English course in our Fresh- man year. We repeated the lines in a monotone and were very bored with the whole procedure. We weren't the only ones who wondered if Shakespeare knew what it was all about. Some- Page Eighteen 9 S Memoirs how, though, these self-same lines lost their monotony between our Freshman and junior years in high school and took on a new meaning for us. Of course, when you're a Junior you're expected to know more than when a mere Freshman. All the world's a stage. how true, our world has mostly been made up of school life with LHS as the setting. We started playing our part as Freshman on the stage of LHS three short years ago. Will you ever forget the thrill ,f

Virginia Barker and Dorothy Crowell, two of our most ardent historians, thought they would investigate the foreign affairs. They began their investigation by way of theirfmouths with which they attempted to taste a Cuban Sandwich that they ordered the night of their arrival at the Capitol. They found to their dismay that it was composed of Virginia Baked Ham, American Cheese and Salami. Virginia seemed to be jinxed during our stay in VVashington for one night this lass tried to exhibit her super-sight in getting to bed without the aid of light. She maneuvered around until she had awakened her room mates - just as she very gently folded herself in a suitcase. Ruth Naumann and Margaret Loop also were among those to talk of their experiences. One night the house detective let himself into their room and nonchalantly made his presence known by snapping on the lights and waking them out of a sound sleep by inquiring if they were the party that were annoying the people across the hall. Ola Kentner and Harold Schreiner made any guide sure that his talks were interesting for their facial expressions always portrayed deep concentration and when their eyes became focused on something which took their interest there was no doubt that the crowd dispersed while they remained gazing upward.

A Juniors Memoirs - Confcl of your Hrst high school days? Then everything was new and exciting. You were eager to ex- perience high school life to the utmost. Have you ever forgotten the thrill of receiving your first seat in study hall along with the rest of the students-your self-consciousness as you walked up the long aisle for the first time flanked by Seniors or perhaps they were only sophomores- your first encounter with a paper borrowing Senior? After the first novelty of high school life wore off you settled into an everyday routine along with the rest of your classmates. Then came the troublesome exams in january and later in june which you easily passed-not without extra cramming, of course. Next September you came back with more confidence as a Sophomore, ready to play an increasing part in high school activities which the distinction of being a Sophomore gave you. As you were no longer a Freshman you looked pityingly at them, but looked with awe and admiration at the Juniors and Seniors. As life goes on, so did your Sophomore term. With fast beating heart and the candle burning at both ends you studied diligently for your first high school regents. They came soon enough and your fate was decided-a Junior of '37. VVith this promotion came an increased confidence in your own ability and one step nearer the center of the stage which the Seniors always hold. Needless to say your Junior year was more exciting. You were no longer in the lower half of high school but almost near the top. As you became better acquainted with the Seniors your admiration for them increasedg inspite of their tasks they still retained their confidence. The june finals topped all your efforts and decided whether you were to be or not to be-a Senior. A few lost out but most of the Juniors came through with flying colors ready to take their place in line back of the present Seniors. Then came commencement night. There was no envy in your heart as you saw the Seniors take their place upon the stage where they would hold everyone's interest for the last time as students of LHS. You knew that this wasn't the end but only the beginning for them as they were about to play a larger part upon the stage of Life and where they would bring honor upon the name of LHS as alumni. So you and all the members of the junior Class bade farewell to the Seniors and were now in full possession of the stage. What awaits us as Seniors next year? With- out a crystal globe it is hard to answer but we are ready to add our names to the ever growing list of Seniors who have played their part for one year and played it well. We now take our exit as juniors and entrance as Seniors-next year. SNQQQFJQPEQ QWQSWQ Page N incleen
