It sets us forward with beating heart, For the time has come for our depart. That big event is Graduation Day, The biggest of all our life, we say. Some will say we're glad to go, But deep down in our heart it isn't so. Witli our heads up high, and heart down low, We,re ready to go, but, oh, how slow. Our hurried steps all just seem to drag As we ourselves behind do lag. Oh, how we wish we could go back, Start over with courage we once lacked. Promises to study, and do our part, Forgiveness, and pity, in our heart. Saying to ourselves, why act like fools When we could have worked with our tools. Instead we put it on a dusty shelf, Never trying to better ourself. But we are ready to struggle with work, Laziness never in our path will lurk. These are the promises we all will take, Something of ourselves we try to make. Smiles on our faces, diplomas in hand, Into our places we,re ready to stand. For now is the time to go our way, For today is our Graduation Day. I Page 721

Standing on the threshold of a new enterprise, we were going to attain the goal for which we were fighting. As our Freshman year passed, leaving its mark on us, we became accustomed to the new subjects and ways of learning. We are moving slowly forward. The first twenty-five yards were gained. Miss Thomas and Mr. Kilkuskie were added to the faculty our Hrst year. During our Sophomore year we reached the half-way mark. The operetta Iolanthe was presented this year with quite a number of our members taking part. Here and there we saw Sophomores peeking through the ranks of great athletes. Miss Holman, Miss Chesko and Miss O'Don- nell were added to the faculty our Sophomore year. Now, as Juniors, we find the athletes that were merely peeking the previous year, at the top of the rank. Two boys held regular positions on the basketball team and five were first-liners on the bootball squad. Also as Juniors, the min- strel, Land o' Cotton, was presented by the Juniors under the supervision of Miss Ryan and Miss Ball. Then, too, the Juniors have shown in other extra-curricular activities. One of our feminine members ranked very high in Pennsylvania in extemporaneous speaking. An athlete in our class created a new regional record in the half-mile race. The Junior Class is proud to include among its members two popular singers, who have sung over the radio several times. Although our Junior year was about over, we accomplished our purpose and a class meeting was held, with the following results: President, . . ,EDWARD DZIADOSZ Vice-Presialefzt, .JOHN GABUZDA Secretary ..... HAZEL SCHLEGEL Treasurer CHRISTINE CATTELL In addition to the election of officers, the members of the Junior Class selected class colors. Lavender and White were chosen as emblematic of the spirit of the Class of '37. Having com- pleted the regular business of the Junior Class, we are turning our attention to serious studying as we look forward to the future. With three-quarters of the way gained, we are waiting, looking back reluctantly, but for- ward with eagerness. We are lined up in position now, looking across at our goal. One-quarter of the way to go! With one more year of train- ing we hope to gain that yardage and then we shall be ready to face the knocks and tackles that make up life. -HAZEL SCHLEGEL. -SARAH TULIN.
