PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS There is a great deal of truth in the old English proverb—“Every man is the architect of his own fortune”. What we are and what we will be depends to a great extent upon ourselves. Others may help, but the final effort rests solely with the individual himself. The basis of our education has been formed. Whether we wish to add to this fundamental knowledge is a question each must decide. By “adding to it”, I do not necessarily mean a college course. I mean further development of the mind and intellect through intelligent reading, good living, and alert interest in world problems and affairs. I earnestly hope that the class of ’37 will not be remembered as the class in which a certain bank executive or railroad magnate graduated, but rather as the class that produced fifty-four good, steady, intelligent American citizens, which our country greatly needs. —Jack Dixon First Honor Group—general average above 90% Nelia Hazard—Valedictorian Katherine Powers Helen Jimerson—Salutatorian Beverly Dibble Harry Crandall Allen Furman Jack Dixon Doris Campbell Robert Howard Leslie Morris Second Honor Group—general average above 85% Floyd Spencer Joyce Brown Helen Phelps Alene Hughes Mary Cox Priscilla Watkins Pauline Chamberlain Edna Frisbie Max English Helen Matteson Hazel Rogers Betty Maguire Lorraine Dennis Thelma Thrasher Peggy Battin Hulon Smith Pape seventeen
