THE STORY OF THE CLASS OF 1937 W gl -W V M.-,,. .,., .,t,. When seniors realize that memories are all they,ll soon have left of their school days, they realize how precious memories are. At times we were quite slceptical, hut now that we have reached the cross roads and loolc over the paths so far traversed, we conclude that the happiest stage ot our life has passed. Xve, the Class of 1957, can truthfully say that our school days have heen happy ones. Perhaps the memories we record seem trivial to an outsider, hut we are confident that those most concerned will see them as a joy forever. One day prominent in reverie is the day we entered high school. We recall the nu- merous teasings we tolerated while endeavor- ing to get started toward a goal of heing the most energetic, amhitious, and cheerful class. Qur first Halloween party was quite a delightful event, novel to all of us, and we froliclced to our hearts content with the witches and ghosts. A genial and lively class, we were also quite studious. On the honor roll were Paul Ganzar, Gerhart Guclcel, Emily Stopyra, Arthur Durinslci, and Flor- ence Szczesny. IH OLII' SOpl1Ol'I1OI'C year WC I'G3.llZeCI WC had gained a foothold and were a Full- lledged part of high school lite. Many of us lvelt that in athletics lay the chance for us to show our ahilities. Qutstanding sopho- more players in haslcethall and toothall were James Lecelc, Chester Raclcow, Matt Gina- liclc, Ernest Martin, and Paul Zurn. l2lJ Others toolc part in orchestra and glee cluh.
