1 9 37 The Harrodian Page 27 SENIOR CLASS As we turn backward for a final survey, we cannot keep a bit of sadness from our thoughts as we realize our four years at Harrodsburg High School have passed. We glance back with both pleasure and regret at our high school days, with their joys and sorrows, their triumphs and failures. We know’ we can never relive these four years which we. with one accord, acclaim the happiest years of our lives. Each year has marked some change in our development—freshmen, trembling; sophomores, overcome with the ‘‘know-it-all spirit; juniors, important; seniors, proud, but blushing at the little we know’. Graduation seemed a dream four years ago when we were a class of typical freshmen. We feared that we would never find our place as a part of the high school; however, w’ithin a few months not even the required attitude of submissive obedience was able to keep the talent and ability of the Class of 1937 from appearing and from being appreciated by upper-classmen and faculty. We put forth every effort to become organized, and soon we were securely established as a class. We soon found ourselves represented in athletics, and during the four years members of the Class of 1937 have given full support to every organization of our school. We have never failed to execute capably our duties. When school again opened the following September, there were very few’ of the old class whose names didn’t appear on the class roll to claim the glory of being a sophomore. Before many days of our second year had passed, w’e initiated the incoming freshmen, and we did it well. We are extremely proud of the excellent record made by our sophomore debating team who won first place in the district contest. Although not all of our members were permitted to take active part on the athletic teams, our class had charge of the coca cola sale during the athletic contests, and thereby added several dollars to the athletic association fund. We feel as if we had a part in our school’s athletic victories. Another high light of this year was the never-to-be-forgotten class picnic at the Nicholasville Bathing Beach. Our sophomore record shows we did not lack self-assurance as in our freshmen days. We were wide awake, but we were not quite ready to be leaders. In the junior year our responsibilities increased by leaps and bounds. As a class, our thoughts were centered around promoting the Junior-Senior banquet at the close of the school year. With hearty cooperation from all our members we w’ere successful in giving a play which proved to be a dramatic success as well as a financial success. The money made by sponsoring the Tennis Club also added to our much needed bank account. Again in our senior year we found we had lost several old members, but new members have added strength and vigor to our class in its last year at H. H. S. The uppermost thoughts in our minds, as soon as we realized we were seniors, was the publication of our yearbook. The Harrodian. of which we had been dreaming for four years. Wc found it necessary to work hard in an effort to earn money to publish the annual. We presented a play, sponsored a movie, sold coca cola at athletic contests, solicited orders for pioneer jerseys, and took advantage of every opportunity in order to finance the annual. Again this year our dramatically talented members made a further record for our class. In the District Forensic Contest we won two first places and two third places. In the State Forensic Contest the editor of our annual won first place in discussion. On April 1, instead of the traditional kid day, we came to school dressed in tacky costumes and accessories. Needless to record, the faculty is glad that April the first comes only once a year. It is with heavy hearts we tnink of leaving our school, but leave we must and pass on our unfinished task to another class. Our one wish is that we may be worthy representatives of our school. We know that our responsibilities will be many, but we believe that the knowledge we have gained through the patient instructions of our teachers and the association with our classmates will be priceless in helping us overcome the problems of life. Our hearts are full of love and gratitude for Harrodsburg High School. To our high school will be due many of our ideals, our inspirations, and much of our future success. We, the Class of 1937. bid you adieu. JUNE SCOTT. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS— Catherine Roederer, President Hazel Fultz, Vice-President Virginia Phillips, Secretary Vivian Horn, Treasurer
