Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1937 volume:

I o A J. i w m ° a w H 'V ? S J V 5 O 1 J° 3 n ss i When the senior class of 1936 published tl® first annual ever to be issued at Adair Community High School, they entrusted us with the job of per- petuating it for the year 1937. In this the second volume of the Reedor, we have tried to uphold this trust. We have made every effort to put into our bock a record of our intimate high school associations so that memory, uncertain and unreliable as it is, would not have to be depended upon to preserve the undeniable beauty of our friendships...THIS...that our future reminiscences may be brighter because of these efforts. We wish to sincerely thank our teachers, the students, our advertisers, and all who have in any way aided in making this year s book a success. The 1937 Staff IX So long as sll the increased wealth which modern progress brings, goes but to build up great fortunes, to increase luxury, and make sharper the contest be- tween the douse of Have and the House of Want,progress is not real and cannot be permanent. Social progress makes the well-being of all more and more the business of ouch; it binds all closer and closer together in bonds from which none can es- cape Wc Ve Progress, man's distinctive mark alone, not God's and not the beasts: God is, they are, Han partly is and wholly hopes to be. -- Robert rowning P R I M C I P RALPH ft. WALJ(£ ft In the spirit of appreciation and good-will we, the Class of 1937, do here-by dedicate this volume of the REEDOft to our principal, Mr.Ralph R,Walker who has served as our leader and coun- selor for the past seven years.(Principal since September 1932.) A D M IMIS T K AT I O M Ouk Faculty It isn’t an awful faculty, It Is our teachers dear Who have bolted us. . .one and all To climb from year to year. While in school we may censure them For reasons they do not know; But after all they have taught each one How to live, act, think, and grow. It is really quite impossible To put in this epitome. All the things that oOfcld be said About each of our faculty. —Lois Lee Wherley p r U L'f Y W. F. 3JNLLLL AVIS McCUTCHAlJ. B.E. Kaella Conserv. of 1-lusic, W. I. S. T. C.

Fight it with a will; Never stop to look behind ’’hen climbing up a hill Trudge is a slow horse, friends, Made to pull a load. But in the end will give the dust To racers on the road. When you’re near the top, class. Of the rugged way. Do not stop to blow your horn. But climb, climb away Shoot above the crowd, class, Brace yourselves and go] Let the slower people, class Hoe the easy row. Success is at the top, friends.

D. b E A N The basket ball season of 1936-37 opened with a defeat at the hands of Vermont. Losing this game must have put the boys on edge for the next one with Colchester, which they won in a nip and tuck affair by the score of 14 to 12. It was the first game in which Colchester had been beaten by Adair for more than ten years. Losing a number of close games this year made the lost and won column rather unbalanced. A total of twenty-one games were played, Adair winning se- ven and losing fourteen. The team this year was an up and down team. When the boys went on the floor determined to give their best the opponents knew at the end of the game that they had lost to, or had won over a good team. Games of the above type were few—we wonder why, boys??? The team this season was made up of the follow- ing boys: Harold Rutledge, forward, a dead shot at the basket; Millard Bayless, forward, always came through with a good performance, especially, if the game was played at Industry; Lee Stockham, center, what a defensive player he was; Orion Shiriberger, guard, a clever ball handler and a good dribbler; Charles Conner, guard, could always be counted on when the going became the hardest. At the close of the season Charles was developing into quite a long- shot artist. Wayne Pugh, Lysle Moore, and Dale Jones, with the boys mentioned above will be lost to the squad for next year. When the call comes for the opening of the season next year, not a letter man will be returning; but one can never tell about the yield of a corn crop until after it is gathered, and the same holds true with basket ball. The 1937 track season ----- opened on April 14 with a meet in which five schools took part. Avon won the meet r Adair, second--Academy, third HLandinsville, fourth,—and Industry, fifth. The next meet was the county meet and it was held at the Western 111. State Teachers College. There are ten schools in the county and Adair won fifth place. The boys winning points in this meet are as follows: Name Junior Solomon Lee Stockham Harold Rutledge Orion Shinberger James Solomon Event 440 yd. dash High jump Pole vault 880 yd. run Broad jump Javelin Points 5 4 2 1 1 ©ATHLETICS Members of the track team and events in which they took part are as follows: Lee Stockham—high Jump, pole vault, broad jump, and relay.

LUCK TO YOU BOYS I |jr -' J£ N N I S This fall our lone coveted tennis court be- came a reality. The students showed their appreciation by taking an enthusiastic liking to the game. It was almost an impossibility to find the court when it was not occupied. At the last of the season when the game was learned by every one a tournament was arranged for the boys to de- termine the on coming champion. Although the weather turned rather disagreeable, they man- aged to reach the finals. Dale Hamm and Mil- lard Bayless were the winners of the doubles. Pius Wherley and Donald Miner placed second. For the singles Dale Hamm placed first and Charles Conner second. The students were so enthusiastic about it that they arranged for playing table tennis a while during the winter months. A table inthe science room v as used until weather permitted playing on the outdoor court. ©ATHLETICS CLASS Thrills cane during every game in the 36 37 class tournaments. The S enior-Junior girls’ game started things off v ith a bang. The Junior girls defeated the Seniors in an overtime after the Sen- iors had led during the entire game. The Junior arji Freshman boys played a hard game but the Freshies finally won. The most thrilling game of the tournament was without a doubt the championship game between the Junior and Sophomore girls. Who sold gills' basketball was slow’ With everyone hoarse from cheering and yelling, the gamo ended in a tie. According to the girls’ basketball miles a tio game remains a tie. At least, the girls proved that they could, jrca 11 y take it. GIRIS Junior 27 Senior 2 Sophomore 50 Junior 15 Freshman 1 r Soohomorc 18 Junior-Soph, tie « Senior 27-0rd.

Individual lessons were con- ducted by Mr. Bunnell on Thursdays with the entire band meeting for rehearsal at 3:15. The band play- ed at the Teacher’s Institute and the Spring Fest- ival in Macomb and at the Concert held in Adair. The band is a wonderful opportunity for students a wishing to play instruments and we hope it may be continued in the future. The 1936-37 Glee Club met regularly every Tues- day at 4:00 o’clock. During the course of the year several quartets and trios were trained in addition to the group training. The club sang at the Teach- er’s Institute., at Macomb, Spring Festival, and the Concert presented by the Glee Club and High School Band. The students have enjoyed their work this year and hope for a larger and better club next ;vear. President Helen Dean Secretary.

This year the county adopted a new plan of poetry readings to take the place of the former dramatic and humorous decl a- mation. This brought out several beginners who real- ly produced the goods but the upperclassmen weren1 V so enthusiastic. Hie boys’ contest was cut short of o ne of our best soloists by the fact that Charles Conne r was nursing a good crop of MUMPS at the time of the con- test. Hie girls’ contest was larger than usual with eight contestants. Helen Camp is the cnly one of this group to be lost by graduation so we are look- ing forward to some very fine singing next year. It is very encouraging for freshmen when they note that second and third place in the girls’ vocal went to freshmen entries.

I be- lieve that we have produced a very good book, one that will preserve the many happenings of cur high- school days. The credit for this, I wish to give to the fa- culty, the members of the senior class, the staff, and especially to Mr. Landis who has worked untir- ingly and without complaint. The trials of an editor are usually many, but this year I have been most fortunate. The book was typed almost entirely by the advancod typing class, composed of the senior girls. We wish to take this opportunity to explain that in our .tLUMNI section under the Class of 24 the following names: Derry (Sullivan), Lucy......................Adair Wilson, Cecil,.............................Canton were unavoidably and unintentionally omitted from their proper place in the biok. Do's AMD DoM'TS FOR f R £ $ rJ jV) £ Some of the new students seem greatly embar- rassed when they do not know what to do. For the benefit of these we suggest? Always come late to school. You will be made fun of if you are an early ''ird. Do not bother to take a whole book from the library. Tear out the sheets you need. It's much handier. See how many days you can chew your gum with- out being caught. Have a race with your friends and teachers. It is hard or the nerves to whisper,so do not do it. Talk out loud. Tf the� , teacher calls you down, do not become offended, because she or he is getting paid for it. If you do not like a teacher never recite for him. This will hurt his feelings. Always deposit ■'•our gum in the water fountain so it will be fresh after school. Tear uo your friends’notes in as small pieces as possible, and scatter them on the floor. This will save the janitor from emptying a waste-paper basket so often. Put off reading all book reports until about the last day; then ask the English teacher for a short book to read. Make yourself as comfortable as possible even if you must occupy two or three chairs. When in class,if there is something you don’t know, look in your book, or tell your friend be- fore class that if you are called upon, he is to tell you, and. you will return the kindness. Never arrange the books properly in the lib- rary. Make the other fellow look as long as you did for the book. A L U jV) MI AUTOGRAPH 2, jVI I SC. rl. r V� ,.
