History of the Class of 1937 Do you remember September 1933 when we entered high school as Fresh men? It hardly seems that four years have intervened since that time, and that we are now on the threshold of graduation. Our high school life extended over that period of time will be a treasured memory in years to come, one in which we have mingled both our joys and sorrows. Flipping hack the pages of our school calendar to our Freshmen year, we come across those unforgetahle days when we received our first schedules, signed up in our first classes, and witnessed our first assemblies and pep rallies.

Nelson Groome, president; John Robins, vice-president; and Louise Masters, secretary-treasurer, were our class leaders. In June of that year wet took our last examinations, as they were dis¬ continued in the school the following term. With the turning of the pages of this historic calendar we entered upon quite an exciting year—the time when we were Juniors. Our class roll was in¬ creased then with new students from Phoebus and other schools. It was during the first part of this year that student activities tickets and a new grading system, in which numbers replaced letters, were instituted in the school. Many of us
