Mr. Frank Seaman President: Dr. George C. Colyer Mr. Leo Giblyn Mr. Clifton Smith Mr. George Williamson o NCE again it is my happy privilege to extend greetings to a class about to graduate from Freeport High School. The undergraduate record of the 1937 Class has been one of accomplishment and your Board of Education rejoices with you in every success thus far attained. Let us not say that you are leaving us, for the recollection of every item of undergraduate activity, every friendship made during the past four years will keep forever fresh and unfading fond memories of F. H. S. These memories, we hope, will cause you to feel a part of the old school throughout your entire lives. As you enter upon another sphere of activity and interest—whether in college or the business world—may abundant success attend your every effort, may each of you be blessed with happiness and good health and may the future see each of you successful in obtaining every worthwhile thing you desire. Congratulations and God speed. GEORGE C. COLYER, President of the Board of Education. Ten

DR. JOHN W. DODD Superintendent of Schools C3 REETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1937: Freeport High School is sending forth the largest graduating class in its history—a class prepared for service to the community in business, social and civic life. This school serves a progressive and rapidly growing community, and it has grown with the community it serves. The school has won an enviable reputation for its organization, its spirit and the range and character of its work. And it must never be forgotten that the community in its generosity, prompted by high ideals and purposes and guided by good business sense, has made the school possible, supporting it liberally as its most effective means of service. If you would have people believe in you as men and women, develop those qualities that make for character. A good creed worthy of further thought and earnest endeavor might read something like this: I believe in generous comradeship, in the courage of high convictions. I believe in the inspiration that comes from contact in all that is truest and best in books, in people, in life. Some wise person has said: If I could give but one gift to my children, I would endow them with a liberal education. Through education, young people are taught to live nobly, to work valiantly, to think clearly, and to serve well. Best wishes to each member of the Class of 1937. May each of you have the satisfaction of well deserved achievement won. JOHN W. DODD. Eleven
