.412 jaezfrospeczf . . . gba graduating ass As high school life for the class of 1937 draws to a close, they look back over the events of those four years which they spent at the Mason City High School. From associations and acquaintances during that time they have gained greater determination to achieve success in life. The days have slipped by without those students entirely realizing the significance of the social and economic changes that have occurred in that span of time. However, contact with the leaders of M. C. H. S. has pointed out to them the necessity of enthusiasm and ambition in becoming a leader in any phase of life. They have seen in their period as high school students the role that modern rhythm is playing in daily life. It is to this rhythm that they are setting their goals for the future. -5 -. When freshmen, the mode of time at which world activities moved seemed unimportant to them. As sophomores, they were gripped slightly by that force of rhythm. During their latter two years in high school theyyve realized the part modern rhythm is playing in everyday life. Poise-an indefinable word-is the characteristic high school life has made each' graduate strive to attain. They can't tell just what it is, but know that the Apefsbnalities that make things hum in the world today possess it. The value theyive got out of these school years cannot be weighed by ounces df English and mathematics-but rather by the knowledge the grad- uates have gained in respect to how life should be lived. Donning caps and gowns thy receive a diploma-a symbol which each senior alone can evaluate. What now? New hopes, new courage, and new determination to further the rudiments which lie behind the wheels that pro- duce this rhythm. 60 Qorofby . . i ppreciafiozz Among the happiest memories of the class of 1937 are the occasions upon which Miss Dorothy Pagenhart, their sponsor and friend, became one of them. During the time Dorothy worked with them in helping to put over their projects she was a true pal to them. Her sincerity and just plain self, gained the con- fidence of the entire class. An air of swingtime characterized anything that Dorothy did. Page Z9
