THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of '37 is the 25th in the history of F, L. H. S. It is. we hope, a finished pro- duct worthy to set a new pace along the walk of life. Stnit'ng ou' Freshman year on September E, v.-iZ 3, we were of the same green hue as preceding high school entrants, out not any greener. After being humiliated by upper-class men, Anally we were accepted as part of the assemblage. On attaining Hie distinction of being Soph- emeres, '-V began an era of achievements. We ersti-rtair.e-J and were entertained oy the Fresh- roi.n. on whom we had applied the art of ini- tion. As T uniora, we monopolized any current- money-making schemes in our attempt to raise money cq mortaln the departing Seniors in splendor. A successful basket social brought in ’unci to an amount which made it possible to do this in grand style. At last the ultimate goal—Seniors. Those coveted seats close to the windows were finally : cuned by us who had waited patiently for three years. Seniors excused for various rea- sons, stamped in and out of the assembly at ill hours. We knew it disturbed the study hall and the teacher in charge, but we were Sen- iors—privileged Seniors. Marion Shelander rind Glenn Waller, the long and the short of it formed logical begin- ning and ending in the line of Seniors. One member boasts a Ford that carried the burden of the Senior float, and rattled to and from class functions with remarkable noise and en- durance. (No offense “Barney”.) What? oh what? will the athletic organiza- tion do without the husky Seniors to can v the teams on to victory or at least a gracefully ac- cepted defeat? And what will the Juniors do without their guardian upper-classmen to tell them when It is time to vacate such premises as were inhabited after basket ball games, and such? Oh. yes, we, too. sought the bright lights! Ycl our search for knowledge was, we trust, more diligent than our search for what- cvcr-it-is you find in those places. The year now closing is one never to be equalled by an} other in our lives, or forgotten in years to come. From beginning to end it has been a banner year, We leave to the Juniors our honest endeavor to achieve our goal in an honest way.
