Foreword HE members of the Board of Editors of the Liverpool High School Graphic want this to be a publication that the older people of Liverpool will enjoy, and that the graduating class will keep and treasure as a memory of their high school days. We want it to be a source of pleasure to the undergraduates, and to serve as a reminder of their Freshman, Sophmore, or Junior days, as the case might he. With the idea in mind of making the Graphit' have some appeal for any person who might read it, the following have put in many long hours of energetic work. Virginia Barker june Parks Marjorie Glahn Betty Pease Margaret Viackerle I want to thank them for the splendid co- operation they have given me in the publication of this book, and Iknow that the junior class wants to thank them for the unceasing toil they have put into the 1936 june Edition of the Liver- pool High School Graphic, the first major effort of the class of '37. DOROTHY CROWELL Chairman of the Board of Editors

And Then What? S THE days creep on, and graduation draws nearer, the Seniors, respectively, begin to think seriously. CThe first time for some of themj. Do they think of regents? Perhaps, but most of them turn their thoughts towards leaving school, and what the future might hold in store for them. The choosing of a career should take place at the beginning of high school in order that each one might be better prepared for his or her vocation upon leaving the dear old Alma Mater. If, by any chance, their judgment proves disagreeable, they may change their minds and change their course without interfering with precious years of life following graduation. What course to take when entering high school, they ask? Liverpool High School offers a pre- paratory course for almost every vocation. The essential to almost 90'Z, of occupations is the knowledge of Latin. Doctors, lawyers, nurses, merchants, stenographers, real estate men, authors, artists and numerous others must know the meanings of Latin words and their derivatives. Too many are neglecting this because it is a little difficult and can not be con- sidered as a snap course. French, a direct opposite of Latin, in that it isn't a dead language, but very much spoken, is not essential, but may be considered a luxury, if one has time to take the two or three year course. English, of course, is an essential for every and any occupation imaginable. Although difficult for some students, they should be the ones to keep right on its trail and master it. Now for Math. Although I never could see any sense in Algebra, I've been told re- peatedly that it is essential, so I'll have to let it go at that. Geometry is compulsory before an architect can draw plans, and before a student can take Mechanical Drawing. I think everyone should have a good idea of geometric problems no matter what course he chooses to follow. In most colleges, two years of Latin and one year of Geometry is required before entrance, besides four years of English. So you see, these subjects really are necessary. As aids to the respective careers, one may interest himself in the commercial, science, history, home economics, English, language, art or musical field. If high grades are obtained in high school subjects, the students may sincerely feel that the first great step has been taken in climbing the great ladder to fame. So, to the Freshman, the juniors offer the advice of choosing now, and to the Seniors the hope that they have chosen wisely, so that they may all look at the future without fear, but with determination and spirit. BETTY PEASE Cut HERE is hardly a person in Liverpool that has not undergone that peculiar, indescrib- able feeling which is catalogued under the emotion of school pride. We are all proud of our school and greatly enjoy talking about it to outsiders. And if we are to talk about our house of learning, we should know something about its history. With that thought in mind, let's think about the very first school in Liverpool. The first school in the community was taught by a man named Connor who was engaged in the salt industry. As Mr. Connor worked, he also taught school and soon his school was given the reputation of being the best one in the School county. Other early schools were held in the buildings now occupied by Bassett and Godard's Store, while another stood in the center of johnson Park. These buildings were not official however, and not until 1839 was a district laid out that embraced all Liverpool. After much bickering and indecision as to where the school building was to be built, it was decided to choose the site where the present grammar school is now located. It was a very hard task to have a school meeting in those days, for some of the people never could seem to get there. A meeting would be called, ad- journed and called again only to be adjourned.
