I TO THE CLASS OF 1937 Skoal to you who sail on the full of the tide, Faring forth to new lands from the sheltered haven; Warriors all, embarking eager-eyed— Skoal, Thirty-Seven! Cut toward the sunset sail where Wyrd shall steer, Seeking new fame with shields and swords untarnished, Bearing high hopes of all who hold you dear, Talismans burnished. Far, fare far, wherever the whale’s path leads. Valiant, triumphant Here in the quiet haven We shall recall bright dreams of our warriors’ deeds Skoal, Thirty-Seven! Harold Willard Gleason. 8

Regnar E. Bird “Tweet entered the school in the fifth grade and was soon known for his quick mind and vivacious personality. Having lived in Switz- erland for some years, he at first knew French better than English, but it did not take him long to enter into the life and spirit of our group. Besides distinguishing himself by his brilliant French. Regnar has been a very good student in all his subjects. He won the Dux Prize when he was in the eighth grade, and maintained a respectable stand- ard of scholarship in the third, fourth, and sixth forms. Regnar decided to graduate in three years, as he felt that he was a little older than the average in his class and was able to do this without any difficulty. “Tweet won the tennis championship in the junior school and captained the school team in his fourth form year, proving himself a valuable asset to the squad. This year he again represented the school in this sport and his playing has been consistently good. In the fall “Birdie took up soccer under the coaching of Mr. Greene and proved to be one of the finest goalies the team has had in recent years. His spectacular dives and stops will always be remembered by those who saw the home games and also by the members of the team. During the winter months he plays hockey. There is no doubt that he vies with other hockey greats for being the most out- standing player to ever represent the school. In spare time he likes to ski. Public speaking events have al- ways received Regnar’s loyal sup- port. He won the public speaking prize in the eighth grade and was given Honorable Mention in the third and fourth forms. “Tweet also has shown keen interest in publications and edited the Wyvern and the Senior Class Book in his final year. 10
