DEDICATION Mr. Beckwith As the outgoing cast of another of Blume High School's pictures, we wish to dedicate this review of Technician Beckwith for his interesting and valuable aid in our climb to stardom in the film of 1936. Throughout his schedule with the numerous branches of the mechanical role of the studio, he became respected by many understudies. It was through his efforts that the auto-mechanic's script was brought from the background into the spotlight. His studio has been developed until the equipment is remarkable for its size. Behind his twinkling eyes and comic character is the common sense and tolerance to do justice to any philosopher. His role in the drama of school life is underestimated; but his character is not daunted. Therefore, as we leave the stage, we take great privilege in showing our appreciation of him on the screen of this preview.

FOREWORD You have before you a presentation by the senior class of 1936; the purpose of which is to portray, represent, and tell you of the doings of these students and their colleagues, the under-classmen. This book catalogues all events of interest and importance. The staff has diligently and laboriously given all their efforts to this Retrospect. They have tried just a little better than their best to acquaint you with our school. In the pages following, you will see pictures of our teachers, our smiling seniors, jocund juniors, fearless freshmen. Then there are plates of Boosters Club, Commercial Club, G. R. Club, Hi-Y Club, and every kind of club or organization in the school. You will notice with pride our band, all shiny and bright, in their new uniforms; our orchestra, realistically snapped with their instruments, and our football and basketball heroes standing straight and grinning into the camera. The duties, purposes, and accomplisments of all societies have been duly set down. Outstanding pupils have been given their proper place in school life. All contests and sports have been thoroughly outlined. A short record of our scheduled basketball and football games has been written for your benefit and convenience. And a summary of our many victories and few defeats is also contained in this 1936 Annual. Our snapshot page of both students and faculty at play will make everyone remember those good old school days . We have new, original jokes and old, favorite ones to provide fun and comedy. And then there is a complete directory of each senior in the school—every office he has filled, every activity in which he has participated, all honors he has won, and the organizations he has supported. And, of course, that's not all, because we have numerous new features which can't be mentioned due to lack of space. Therefore, as you pursue the seventy-odd pages in this 1936 Retrospect, we hope you will get a general conception (behind the scenes, so to speak) of the happy school life of Blume High. EDITOR
