THE CLASS OF 1937 On .1 September afternoon in 1935 we entered the portals of Riverside lligh School, and as the doors tlosed behind us we entered upon the second chapter of our eventful lives. A new existence beckonedf But high school was not to be a bed of roses. Homework was the hrst thorn. The aloof- ness of the Lipperclassmen and the taunts of the superior Sophoniores served to prick our pride. A terrible obstacle towered menacingly in our path. the january examinations. Although we skated on thin ite at times. we managed to survive, Our real trouble was yet to come. june rolled inevitably nearer, and with it came our tirst taste of Regents. A much welcomed vacation followed. Refreshed by the vacation we returned in our sophomore year with a grim determination to im- prove ourselves. But a false feeling of superiority took possession of us, which we duly exercised over the new Freshmen. Our members became active participants in school affairs, and now more than ever before, we felt ourselves an integral part of the school, Witli a commendable amount of success, the year slipped quickly by. Our junior year was a succession of pleasant surprises, Our relations with the faculty became more intimate, and we lost our former feeling of restraint in their presence. As we progressed in years, advancement in physical as well as mental ability made itself manifest, and we shared the school's athletic limelight together with the Seniors. The arrival of spring brought with it vivid thoughts of the junior Prom. In anticipation of this resplendent affair, we elected the following othcers: Fred Smith, president: livelyn LaVere, vice-presidentg Thelma Stacey. secretaryg Williaiii Stenson. treasurerg Myrtle Graf, girls marshal, and Robert Sheehan. boys' marshal. A colorful auditorium program featured our class day exercises. On this day our class was the cynosure of the entire school. The close of this eventful occasion marked the culmination of our junior activities. As Seniors we were to set the example for the rest of the school and throughout the entire year we have striven gallantly two publications The early March vigorous of the friendly battle Stacey, vice-presidentg marshalg Henry Rauch, to live up to these expectations. At the same time we strongly backed our Pile! and The Skipper. The year passed without any serious mishaps and in campaigning for the election of senior otiicers was begun. When the smoke cleared, tabulation of results disclosed Leon Moulin as presidentg Thelma Evelyn Nuchereno, secretary: john Polanski, treasurer, Helen Limburg, girls' boys' marshalg jerome Robinson, prophetg and joseph Kish, historian. For maintaining the highest scholastic standards in th: class throughout their high school years, Pearl Mclntyre and Henry Tesluk were chosen valedictorian and salutatorian respectively. Now, as the year is rapidly drawing to a close, we sadly look back upon the many happy hours we have spent within these walls. But although we shall be no longer students here, our spirits will live and our achieve- ments will win for us an everlasting niche in the schools hall of fame. As a fitting climax to our successful career at Riverside. we look forward with great anticipation to a glorious Commencement.
