AFTER FOUR LONG YEARS JANUARY 1937 We have the distinction of being the first 1937 graduates, and we feel that we are signally honored in being chosen to graduate in the middle of the academic year. Our hopes, we believe, are somewhat the brighter, because, in the world into which we have come, every advantage must be seized and made the best of, and we like to think that we are, to put it succinctly, one up on some of our fellow students, for we shall have had several months of being out of high school to our credit before the May class has graduated. Nevertheless, even with our high hopes and plans, we have our moments of regret at leaving school, because we realize that we are leaving an old friend, one whom we can always trust, and one on whom we can always rely. MAY 1937 To the Class of May, 1937, the heading of this article would be more appropriately titled, AFTER FOUR SHORT VEARS, because, even though some of us would not admit it to anyone except ourselves, there is a certain regret as the time comes for us to leave D.C.H.S. We have begun to realize that, even with all our upsets and a certain amount of hardship, these four short years in high school will, in after years, be looked upon as among the happiest years of our life. And so it is, with a tinge of reluctance that we say adieu to our teachers, our friends and our high school career, to begin the business of life in earnest. JANUARY 1938 Throughout our four years in school, we have always looked with longing anticipation to the time when we too should be graduated. At first, when we were freshmen, that time seemed far away, and four years did seem such an age, but as we progressed, that time became remarkably shorter and shorter, and now we come to the full realization that within less than a year we too shall be receiving our eagerly awaited diplomas. We have made the most of our high school career, and we have no regrets, nor shall we have any, only pleasant and happy memories. We regretfully take leave of our classmates each year as they go away from us, but nevertheless we still have that eager look when we think that in just one more semester we shall be the graduating class of January, 1938.
