CLASS I-IISTCBY ORE than four thousands years ago the Egyptians reared a new civiliza- tion on the banks of the life-giving Nile. These ancient pioneers wor- shipped the sun with its light and warmth, symbolized by Horus, god of the rising sun, and the sun-god Ra and left as even today rival our architectural attainments. Vtfe, the class ot 1937 A.D., are firm believers of the theory that history repeats itself. We do not claim to have a new cradle of civilization on the shores of Dickson Avenue, but we, too, worship light and are nearing the completion of a pyramid which shall be an obelisk to our memory. After twelve years of darkness we have resurrected the school annual, an unfailing source of light on the year 1936-37 at Ben Avon High School. Ours is a pyramid of forty-live stones, polished, although somewhat impervious at times, by four years of high school experience, the tomb of some 17,000 hours during which we have been exposed to education. On September 5, 1933 some iifty students resumed studies at Ben Avon High School and became the freshman class. That was a rather eventful day. our lirst day as senior high school pupils. VVe met for the first time some lifteen new classmates from Emsworth. Wfe also entered upon a new course of sub- jects. Each of us sat in a cold sweat during that lirst Latin class, overawed by Miss Bowlin's stern mien and impressive reputation. tl-Ter reputation sulicererl none that yearg for Room E seemed to be a congregating place for freshmen at numerous ten-of-eight and after-school sessionsj English under Mrs. Hill, general science under Miss McClelland, algebra under Mr. Nolstad, a new in- structor, and a course in vocations under Pop Mason rounded out our stand- ard schedule. Mr. Mason had acquired this moniker when report-room teacher to the boys of the class two years before. At the first class meeting Dwight Merker became Ramses I g Marjorie Todd was elected vice-presidentg Roberts Karn. treasurerg and Don Reniers, secretary. Two members, Bennett and Duff, represented the class on a football squad dominated by seniors. Duke Black was our representative on the basketball squad, While some of the other boys played on a rather punk junior high team. Our only social event, the class party, 18
