Our destination in the tenth year was Chicago and the new comers were Roger Clossen, Norman Knuth, Robert Ryder, Eileen Stebbe and Hattie Harris. Claudia Brooks was elected as chief engineer, Jack Phinney as assistant engineer, Marie Baesel as secretary, Jean Brelling as treasurer, and Mr. Pelton as advisor. Our great events of the year were the party and winning second place in the annual stunt night. All of our porters were well represented in all extra-curricular activi- ties. Many of the boys were already win- ning fame and taking the headlines in the sport's world. In our eleventh and most memorable year we glided into New York with Don- ald Farnsworth as chief engineer, Robert Ryder as assistant engineer, Margaret udes as secretary, George Hoch as treas- urer, and Miss Keck as advisor. Joining us this year were Violet Ritchie, Harry Smith, and Robert Taylor. Scarlet and Gray being chosen as our colors, N. Y. City was dazzled by the array of scarlet and gray jackets. The honor of winning first place in the annual stunt night was bestowed on us for our amazing stunt. The play The Strange Bequest, starring Helen Pincombe and Robert Squire, and directed by Miss Smith was a great suc- cess. The Junior-Senior prom was one of the best ever held within the walls of the B, H. S. Our most outstanding porter, Claudia Brooks was also elected President of all the railway corporations for the next year. 1936 and Berea again! Back where we started from to settle down to our last year in earnest study. Helen Pincombe was elected as c h i e f engineer, Clarence Judson as assistant engi- neer, D 0 n al d Farnsworth a s secretary, John Blazek as treasurer, and Mr. Pelton as advisor and advocater. Jack Grimes of Indiana, Frank Kathe, William Neiheiser, of West Virginia, joined our ranks this last year. One of the high spots of the year was the selection of silver rings with a ruby setting. The senior play directed by Miss Keeney was a smashing hit. The climax of the year came in the editing of our streamline Berean which will remain in the history of Berea forever. Class of '37 Berea High School Our happy days aboard the B. H. S., much to our regrets has come to a close. In May 1937, the porters received their diplomas and left the streamliner to em- bark upon a new and different train of life which we can only hope will bring them success and happiness in the future.

CLASS Remember our first year at school, We learned the A B C's, And numbers too, Along with philosophy of the Golden Rule. The second year brought us something more, How to read Mother Goose and spell words like dog and door, These were foundation years, For that future shore. The third year brought us other things, More arithmetic, and how to sing, We even learned to read the clock, And that famous rhyme, Hickory Dickory Dock. The fourth year brought us division, Some history too, We learned that Columbus Came here in 1492. The fifth year brought us fractions, The use of common contractions, We acquired health advice So we would know how to keep clean and nice. The sixth year we wrote with pen and ink, Wrote letters to pals who had said goodbye, And looked forward to the day We would transfer to Berea High. The seventh year everything was new, We hardly knew just what to do! We made new friends And hope we'll keep them until the end. POEM The eighth year we began algebra, Determining the values of a through zg They were rather difficult at first, But soon we conquered all of these. The ninth year we had our choice, We might take a college, general, or comrnercial course, We seriously planned So that someday we would be able to take full command. The tenth year we entered senior high, We had a voice in our Alma Mater Song, We were very proud That we could sing Sophomore real loud. The eleventh year we held a promg For the 36 class that was to go ong It occurred on the fifteenth of May, In the orchards of scarlet and gray. The twelfth year brought us the goal of graduation, Are we prepared to apply - What we have learned in days gone by? To take our place in the nation? We are now at the close of our high school life, And we sail forth on unknown seas, May the waves not be too rough or high, So we can go sailing smoothly by. Marjorie Clough. Page Seventeen
