Of course we shall all remember the wonderful good times we have had in connection with this school, and I don't believe there is one of the class of ,37 that does not feel deep regret leaving, although we are looking forward to the things we are going to do and the good times we are going to have after graduating. Surely you will all back me up when I Pass on a word of thanks and appreciation to the faculty who have proved themselves real friends, always ready to talce a Iew niinutes to help any of us with our problems, in spite of the hardships brought upon them by the overcrowded condition of the school. I hate to think of the memories that the teachers will I-ave of some of us, myself included, but we will have to agree that all of our classes would have been less of a problem and therefore much more Profitable and enjoyable if we had realized the full importance of what Charles Steiuiuetz was talking about when he said, k'Cooperation is DOI a sentimentg it is an economic necessity. This seems to be one of our trustiest weapons in the hunt for that most elusive and most sought after of all quarries, success. Yours for lots of it, Ro1s151zT Tnoxms I7

CLASS HISTORY WE, THE CLASS OF 1937, are nearing the completion of four of the most exciting and eventful years of our life. It has been a period of mental growth for each one of us and the ultimate goal has, of course, been graduation, the most thrilling climax of all. The first stage of our journey was rather uneventful, since we failed even to elect class officers. Nevertheless, we became well acquainted with our surroundings and the tradi- tions of E. F. A. which prepared us for the future. In our Sophomore year, we elected Robert It-rome president, Mary Clarke vice- president, Margaret Hardy secretary, and Robert Thomas treasurer. As sophomores, we successfully celebrated a class day and gave an assembly. On the third lap of our journey, we chose Robert Thomas president, assisted by Elizabeth Baker, Frances Day and Robert Iszard. Gay red and white ribbons were con- spicuous on Iunior Day, which seemed to mark the beginning of real prominence for our class. The Inuiors collaborated with the Seniors to have a socially successful prom. Upon our return as Seniors in September, Robert Thomas was again elected president, together with klargaret Hardy vice-president, Iune Steen secretary, and Vinton Stevens treasurer. On May fourteenth, the Senior Play, 'LBig-Hearted Herbert, was presented under the able direction of Mr. Iohn Colgan. It was most amusing and met with huge success. The Senior Prom was not held this year, so the Senior Reception remains the sole social event on our calendar. However, Senior Day made some retribution for this disappointment, and the long awaited commencement is yet to come. Soon the members of the Class of ,37 will be making their individual marks in this world, backed by their friends and educators, the faculty of E. F. A. May they have success. 18
