Tl-TE WI-IITEFEATI-TER CLASS ln fhe fall of fhe year l925, fhe doors of fhe Buckland School opened, and a group of wide-eyed youngsfers, eager fo learn fo read and wrife, enfered and be- gan fheir school career. To mosf of you fhis is nofhing special, since if is iusf a yearly occurrence, buf in our memory if will sfand ouf as our firsf day af school. Affer eighf years of sfudy, fhis group enfered fheir firsf year of high school. Oh no, nof all of fhose who had enfered in '25. Some had leff fheir imaginafions wander and, only seeing fhe brighf side of life, decided fo disconfinue fheir school days. We feel confidenf fhaf fhe class of '37 consisfing of fhe persons who had cours age and could foresee fhaf in fhe fufure fhey would be benefifed by confinuing fheir schooling, will, in one way or anofher be rewarded for fheir efforfs needed fo gain an educafion. Even fhough small in number, fhe class has fried in every way fo raise fhe sfand- ards sef up by fhose who have gone ahead. We have been represenfed in mosf' of fhe school acfivifies including: baslcefball, glee club, orchesfra, shop clubs, dramafics, and fhe paper sfaff. We have worked hard fo malce our class plays successful, which has been improving each year. The class-chosen moffo, Up The Lad- der Sfep By Sfep is well suifed fo fhe class. ln order fo build fhis ladder, we reguired fhe use of fools. These fools l-HSTGRY were represenfed by fhe faculfy and ofhers, who have faifhfully sfood by us when we were discouraged and greafly needed fheir influence. Now fhaf we are passing from fhe guiding hands of fhese people, if will be necessary for fhe indi- vidual fo decide whefher he will go on and force his way a sfep higher, remain on his presenf level, or gradually decline fo a level we have passed fhrough our rise fo our presenf sfanding. lf would be well if we all could rise sfeadily higher and higher. Amid fhe happy remembrances of our school days fhere will always be a sad fhoughf caused by fhe facf, fhaf, of fhe fwenfy-fhree people who enfered high school, only fwelve are going fhrough fhe graduafion exercises. Almosf half of fhe former class have dropped ouf. Nof fhaf rhis occurrence affecfed fhe class in a greaf way, buf fhinlc how much be-ffer if would be if fhere were fwenfy-fhree peo- ple seafed up here fonighf. Neverfhe- less, fhe fwelve graduafes are going ouf info fhe world as fwelve faifhful friends and face life's problems as fhey come. By fhese advanfages we hope fo prove fhaf an educafion will enable us fo con- finue our growfh, if is so easy fo quif when fhe going is hard, and fhen wanf fo place fhe blame on someone else. ln our four years we have found fhaf we musf worlc and puf forfh an efforf af all fimes if we hope fo succeed. lvlay fhis class confinue fo malce ifs hisfory in life. -Darrell Binlcley.
