President Gillette THE CLASS OF 1937 Having struggled bravely, we, the remnants of a freshman class of 160, find our- selves ready to receive our rewards. As Commencement approaches, we view the fate- ful day with feelings of joy and regret, but full of confidence we face the world. How- ever, we will now in retrospect determine hovv indispensable we have been to Hamil- ton College. First come the scholars. With almost half our number on the Dean's List and a sur- prising number of high honor men, our class is outstanding in the Held of scholastic attainment. Our athletes occupy the key positions on all the teams. In the Charlatans, in the Choir, in all extra-curricular activity we are outstanding. In short, we might believe that we have carved an enviable place for ourselves in the Hamiltonian Hall of Fame. We were instrumental in liberating succeeding students by establishing a Dean's List and reducing the number of compulsory chapel services. We were unable to leave you a new gymnasium. No class ever gathered more slivers from a gym floor or more patiently endure P. T. classes than we. What more could We do? Our four-year stay comes to an end and we leave our tasks and traditions to our suc- cessors with best wishes. Although it is too much to expect Hamilton to recover quickly from the blow incurred by the loss of such a class, perhaps, in time, another great class will rise, and it is with this cheering thought that we leave Hamilton College. 18
