However, today serves a double function—its chapter is both an epilogue to a division called School Days,” and a prologue to a division called College and Life’s Work.” As an epilogue, its first duty is to make an attempt to express adequately our gratitude to the Board of Education, the community, and to our teachers and parents for the many benefits they have given us. Without these aids, today and its significance would never have been possible. It is beyond the limits of human ability to express sufficient thanks for their assistance, but the feeling is in the hearts of every member of this class. As an epilogue, it brings together for the last time all the characters of our association for a final backward look and summary of our achievements before plunging forward into our new work. Our one big achievement is the completion of a solid foundation upon which to grow. We take great pride in that foundation, and acknowledge that it was the result of inspiring supervision. Upon this foundation we now must build. Today, as a prologue, must indicate in some measure the nature of the finished product. The last decade has been a period of great change and reform. From out of this chaos we have emerged and must build upon our foundation a beautiful and impressive structure. From today on lies our future. We have a fine beginning; let’s make it an even finer ending. On behalf of the officers of the Senior Class, I wish to express our appreciation of those class members who have cooperated successfully bringing the Senior Class of 1937 to its final curtain. To all present I wish you continued success and happiness in the future. Page 8 Melvin Mann.
