CAMBRIDGE HIGH LATIN SCHOOL ‘Prologue “All the world’s a stage.” The moment so long awaited had at last arrived. In awed silence we of the Class of 1937 came together to take our parts in a more important drama than any we had yet known. To an undiscerning eye that drama was vastly different from the pageant of a century ago. The manners and speech of 1837 would seem quaint and even absurd to a modern audience, yet the meaning behind the performance and ours is essentially the same. The desire for approval and success prevails among the youth of all times, and in this respect the young men and women of 1837 were no exception. So did we of 1937 desire earnestly to win approval and applause, especially trom that part of the audience who had our welfare closest at heart. As Freshmen, we had merely understudied the upper-classmen, ad- miring the poise and surety with which they played their parts. In our Sophomore year our aims and ambitions were definitely established, and we were working toward a specified end. When our Junior year had ar- rived, we knew our fellow-players well, the outstanding stars were firmly established in their own niches of fame, and all, whether gifted actors or not, had learned that generous cooperation is the most important factor to be considered in making the play a perfect whole. Then at last we were Seniors. We were wiser, more mature, more confident in ourselves and our abilities, more determined to realize the high hopes placed in us; and we were especially eager to face the glorious new future which loomed, with intriguing nearness, just beyond the foot- lights.
