The Class of 1937 When we want to examine a large oil painting with a view to determining its beauty and perfection, we cannot stand close to it, but must withdraw some distance from the picture. And so it is in judging the class of 1937. We are too close to it to discover or estimate its true quality. We do know that it presented leadership in its president which we believe to be equal to the leadership found in any similar officer anywhere in the country. We further believe that for honest effort to achieve, on the part of several of its members, has not been surpassed by any former graduates. We prophesy that a comparison of the achievement of classes made in years to come, will reveal the Class of 1937 to be high on the scale. Seniors page fitjeen

Here we find two post graduates mingling with two juniors in search for more scientific know¬ ledge. Faculty Members (Continued) Miss Mary Morse is warm-hearted and kind as she administers to the students as school nurse. She hath beauty, charm, grace, and a keen intellect; what more could any damsel ask? Round her neck she wears a yellow ribbon. We mean Miss Garbrick. She perfects, as nearly as possible, the cheerleaders ' skill. She takes a keen delight in riding a bicycle around town. Music hath charms for everyone. That ' s what Miss Koontz says. She is at peace with the world when directing a chorus. She has a ready smile but sometimes becomes disgusted with the way the students sing on Monday morning. No wonder! Coach, like all the other artists, is temper- mental. Without a minutes notice he loses his temper and just as quickly he forgets what he ' s angry about. Like any good coach he is optimis¬ tic. He is never discouraged by a defeat and is always ready with words of encouragement to spur his gallants’ on. Mrs. Faust is a substitute teacher for Miss Brice. She is well liked by all of her students. This apparently sweet and demure person with the black hair and dimples is Miss Brice. She is quiet and dignified and yet a certain something in her manner makes it difficult for us to deter¬ mine whether she is sophisticated or naive. Well my gracious! This is Miss Bell’s favorite expression. This teacher is the small, dainty, extremely feminine type. She likes her work and particularly likes to give big assign¬ ments to little Freshmen. Miss Mary ' s greatest interest seems to be her Senior High Art Class. She takes a very keen delight in training her artists-to-be, in fact she likes boys and girls and is a pal to them. Miss Mary has the respect and admiration of us all. page fourteen
