Clarence E. Furst. B. S.. A. M. Superintendent of Schools To the 1937 Graduates: You are now achieving one of the important goals of your lives — your graduation. The fact that you have endured to the end of the race indicates that you are endowed with perseverance — a quality that will go tar toward your attaining other even more difficult objectives. You have learned enough concerning the history of mankind to know that the greatest persons are remembered not because of their genius but because of hard work. Worthwhile accomplishment in any field is the result of great effort and continuous application. Do not feel that you have now arrived and that there will be no further need of study. In whatever sphere of endeavor your path lies, the one who succeeds in it will be he who will aim to improve his mind and his character and aspire to be among the best in his chosen vocation. I congratulate you on your graduation. It has been a pleasure to have been associated with you and I wish for you happy and successful lives. ilftHT »

Tribute to Faculty The Class of 1937 is grateful to you for all that you have done for us during our six years at Wilson Senior-Junior High School. From the time when we were mere papooses in the seventh grade until now. when we are senior braves and maidens, you have been one of the most import- ant influences in our lives. We appreciate the fact that we have been able to reap the benefits of your many years of training and experience. We have relied on your wisdom and guidance not only in the regular curriculum but also in many other activities which have shaped our characters. From you we have received the training and equipment necessary for life. When we have needed advice and assistance you have been our ready friends and advisors. Perhaps we have not always displayed our appreciation as we should have—in fact there may have been times when you have doubted that we have had any appreciation at all. But we assure you that we have always recognized our obligations to you. We hope that for many years to come you will remain at Wilson High School to give to our successors the same training and discipline that you have given to us. To Mr. Furst, our superintendent, to Mr. Dew. our principal, and to each and every teacher, we express our sincer- est thanks. We know that we shall be better citizens for having attended Wilson High School, and each one of us will do his best to be an honor and credit to your teachings. « StVSN

J. Harry Dew, B. S. Principal Wilson High School To the Class of 1937: Your principal is pleased with this opportunity to extend his congrat- ulations for the successful completion of your high school career. This ac- complishment. however, involves an obligation to your parents, your school, and society. You can meet this obligation by observing the rules of health and by respecting the virtues of accuracy, promptness, fidelity, and the acceptance of responsibility. — virtues which we often think of as out of date. All cannot win fame or position, but everyone can have success and happiness in doing a task well and in being a good citizen: each can thus make his contribution to society. Do not forget the following lines which you learned in English class: “This above all, — to thine own self be true: And it must follow as the night the day. Thou can'st not then be false to any man ' I wish you health and happiness. « NINC
