From the Cradle Up We oT The class oT l937 have had a re- markably TasT and Turious Time oT iT. We were born in The Time oT greaT prosperiTy immediaTely Tollowing The war, and dur- ing our grade school days we lived Through The boom Times oT '27, '28, and '29, Then The crash. We were here Tor iT all, and we have iusT come Through The worsT depression in The hisTory oT our counTry. We are now on our way To new liTe and prosperiTy in college. ThaT, in brieT, is The hisTory oT The class oT '37. We sTarTed To work TogeTher Tor The TirsT Time in The presenTaTion oT The opereTTa, Oh DocTor! while in The sev- enTh grade. Then in The eighTh grade. we made our debuT in The Tield oT liTera- Ture by publishing The grammar school SpoTlighT. We began To show our aThleTic abiliTies, even as Treshmen, by winning The disTricT baskeTball TournamenT and also placing Three members on The all disTricT Team. The oTher Treshmen who were noT so well supplied wiTh aThleTic prowess wenT ahead and won The sTunT aT The annual high school parTy by The porTrayal oT The Then popular song Who's ATraid oT The Big Bad WolT. OT course, oTher mem- bers oT The class came Through when iT was Time To puT on The chapel program. The seniors Themselves admiTTed ThaT iT was one oT The besT programs during The year. During The sophomore year The sTudenT council sponsored a carnival aT The high school and again The class oT '37 came To The TronT by elecTing one oT iTs mem- bers. Miss BeTTy Carmean. as queen oT The carnival. Our class has always been TorTunaTe in being well supplied wiTh Two Things, TirsT an excessive number oT brillianT sTudenTs and second wiTh Those who were ouTsTand- ing in aThleTic abiliTy For The sophomore year, we had a combinaTion oT These Two Things, wiTh Neva Karrick as presidenT and Don Ehlen as vice presidenT. STrange To say we were again TorTunaTe in being able To presenT one oT The ouT- sTanding, in The way oT humor, assemblies oT The enTire year. You all remember The panTomine Tilming oT a moTion picTure. The evenT oT The iunior year was The play, Leave iT To PsmiTh. During ThaT year we were able To come ouT unde- TeaTed aT The end oT The TooTball season wiTh nearly The enTire varsiTy Team com- posed oT iuniors. During The early parT oT our iunior year The class oT '37 again won The sTunT aT The high school parTy, making The second Time we copped The prize by presenTing The besT sTunT. This same year our TooT- ball players became sissies Tor a day in our chapel program, We've GOT RhyThm in Our Nursery Rhymes. Well Tilled coT- Ters produced our prom which was a glori- ous ending Tor a bankrupT beginning. On The lasT day oT school The iuniors again were vicTors by scoring more poinTs Than any oT The oTher classes aT The an- nual Tield day held aT Lake Idlewild. And now as seniors, under The leader- ship oT Joe Prybylski, we have enlarged The record oT our accomplishmenTs by again having an undeTeaTed TooTball Team. The band will miss The TwenTy-Two seniors who so proudly Tilled iTs ranks. This year The seniors underTook a new venTure in The Tield oT debaTing. AnoTher new proiecT aTTempTed was The sTarTing oT a home economics class Tor boys only. Our year is drawing To a close and we see commencemenT, baccalaureaTe, and graduaTion in The near TuTure. Then iT will all be over, and we will deparT Trom The same old building ThaT we enTered such a shorT Time ago as Treshmen. We all can say ThaT we have done much To- geTher in These Tour all-Too-shorT years. Now we are ready To Take The long march To geT our diplomas, Then we shall sepa- raTe as a class, never again To be working as a uniT. We all have a brighT ouTlook Tor The TuTure, eiTher in The business world or in college. -RoberT WinTers
