I, PREFACE 1936-A YEAR OF IMPORTANCE FOR MANY REASONS. IT IS TIE YEAR OF A GREAT POLITICAL CONTEST. IT MARKS THE RETURN OF AMERICA TO A MORE PROS- PEROUS CONDITION. IN' HYDE PARK HIGH SCHOOL. IT IS TIE END OF A LONG ROAD FOR OVER FOUR HUNDRED SENIORS. FOR ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED FRESHMEN IT IS THE TIME DURING WHICH THEY ACCUSTOM TI-IEMSEI.VES TO A NEW ENVIRONMENT. IN TIE POLITICAL CONTEST. ECONOMIC FIGHT. OR MARCH ALONG TI-IE ROAD OF EDUCATION. THE SAME CONCENTRATION OF EFFORT IS NECESSARY TO ARRIVE AT TIE TOP. ALTHOUGH THIS CONCENTRA- TION OF EFFORT HAS FOR MANY YEARS MADE HYDE PARK HIGH SCHOOL OUT- STANDING IN SCHOLASTICS AND INTER- CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. 1936 MARKS ONLY TIE SECOND YEAR OF '1'IE RECENTLY ORGANIZED BOOSTER ORGANIZATION. THIS GROUP OF SCHOOL LEADERS,FORMED TO BOOST ALL ACTIVITIES. IS NOT ONLY EXPERIENCING ITS SECOND YEAR OF OR- GANIZATION. BUT ITS SECOND YEAR OF SUCCESS. IT IS IN TIE SPIRIT OF TIE BOOSTR THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT HYDE PARK IN THE 1936 ESPRIT DE CORPS EDITION OF TI-E AITCHPE. WITHIN ITS PAGES WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PORTRAY THE IDEAL FOR WHICH 'I'HE BOOSTERS HAVE WORKED SO HARD.
