I FOREWORD O The statt of the ODYSSEY present this boolt to show the school life during our Senior year. We have tried not only to paint the plain facts about that school year but also to portray to some extent those little incidents that stand out in our memories. I We hope that when you piclc up this boolc many years from now, it will carry you baclc to the school year of 1937-38. Perhaps you may recall laces of schoolmates you've lost traclc of through the passing years. Perhaps you may recall those long, dreary school days and the hard time you had doing your Latin or intermediate , but most import- ant ol all is that you will remember those little things which, put to- gether, made up the greatest days of your lives---your high school days. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll C THEME I Baclc in the 'l89O's Edward Noyes Westcott wrote a Hbest seller entitled David l-larumn. lts main character was a horse-swapping banlfer in a small country town named l-lomeville. The subject for this characterization was David l-lannum, a man who lived in our own town of l-lomer and who attended our own Homer Academy. O Since this is a boolc portraying the school life of our community, we have chosen as a theme the David Harum described by Mr. Westcott. We have presented this theme through slcetches and by the use of quotations from David Harumf' Page 3
