Looking Ahead HE act of looking ahead often necessitates the act of looking backwards. It seems advisable to look into the past and see what foundation has been laid for success in the future. As a class .who will someday be where the pre- sent Senior Class is now Cready to graduatel it is fitting to look back as well as ahead, which is the duty of this writer. To see our beginnings as a class you will have to look back through the years and see us as we just started school in the kindergarten as it was then called. Up through the years of grammar school and junior high school you will find us getting the background for a successful high school career. Now we are Juniors and are able to look back ourselves on the greater part of our high school life. All that is left to us now is to complete our record honorably and intelligently. Since we first started as a class many have found it necessary to drop out or move away but many new students have joined us to keepbthings even. We look ahead to great things for our class. The main achievement will be the trip to Wash- ington, of course. To obtain this reward, we will sell candy bars, hold dances and card parties, sell wreaths at Christmas, edit the Graphic twice, take dues, and work hard in addition to keeping up our studies so that we may earn our 16 units necessary to graduate. Perhaps you wonder what chance have we to succeed in these arduous labors? VVeIl, we have the first qualification of a good Senior class, that is, good students. Next we have a good 'faculty and principalg third .we have pep and stick-to-it-iveness, and other necessary qualities. We will try to be the best Senior Class this school has ever seen, because by looking at ourselves now with all frankness we see that we have the foundation upon which to build great- ness. We admit that we will have to step some to beat the present Seniors, as they have made a record to be proud of for us to shoot at, but we can and will beat them if we have co-operation among ourselves. In looking ahead to success as a Senior Class we would be seriously at fault if we neglected to mention and thank the Citizens of Liverpool who have so generously patronized the Senior Activities of the past. CWe hope you will continue to help us realize our ambitions for without your support nothing would be possible with usg we pledge ourselves to giving you,full value for your moneyj To those of you who have read thus far it is our belief that you now better understand the problems we face and the satisfaction we have in doing a thing well whether .it be selling a candy bar to raise money or editing a Graphic for the enjoyment of everyone. 012296159 Wfufif' Page Five

' A W I ,-l-lli Editor's Foreword E, THE June Graphic staff of '37, in our first big undertaking have attempted to make our semi-annual Graphic of interest not only to the students and faculty but also to the parents and friends of the student body. Have we succeeded? The answer lies with you- the reader. Without the help of the Juniors who have given their full co-operation, little could have been accomplished. Therefore, I wish to thank the junior class as a Whole and hope they will enjoy reading this book and treasure it in the years to come. The following members of the Junior Class deserve special praise for their artistic Contributions to this book: Helen Heid Kathryn Leaf Page Four We are indebted to Helen Heid for our at- tractive cover design. Our whole-hearted thanks are extended to Ellen Keefe, business manager and her two ad- vertising managers: Lena DeNeve and Henry Wiegand who by their efforts - assured the financial success of this book. Although not a member of the advertising staff, john Karl deserves credit for his sales ability, having sold more ads than other members of the junior Class. If this book lives up to your expectations, l will feel that our efforts were well worth the time spent in trying to give you a first-hand glimpse of LHS activities. MARY ADAMs Editor-in-Chief
