As we were freshmen we were compelled to get off at Green Island.” There were thirty voyagers, who were headed for The Land of Graduation. While here, we were under the direction of Mr. French, Mr. Wilson, Miss Holtz, Miss Thomson, Miss Meline and Mr. Cannon. During the year Margaret Behrens, Evelyn Newman, Marzata Jacobson, Vesper Moe, and John Olson dropped out. Second semester Adrian Miller, Joe Montgomery, and Arley Nelson became members of our crew. After a vacation of fun and work we set sail for the Isle of Wise Fools, which was the second port on the way to the Land of Graduation. This year Mr. Wilson, Mr. Cannon, Miss Meline, and Miss Thomson deserted our ship. Mr. Sherman, Mr. Peart, Miss Beyer and Miss Ware took their places. Lawrence Johnson, Phyllis Peterson, and Elizabeth Sibley did not come back this year, but Olin Strole and Ben Butler became members of the ship’s crew. Elsie Hard and Dorothy Palmer embarked on the ship, during the second half of this year's cruise. After nine months on this island, we set sail once more over the sea of knowledge for Junior Island.” This year Captain French left us and assumed command of a larger boat. Mr. Hake took his place. This year we put on the play Girl Shy ; also, we had a sleigh ride. We gave the Seniors a banquet of which we are justly proud. Ona Smith, another of our class members, responded to the call of Cupid and after school was out in the spring we heard that she and Paul Anderson were married. The last and possibly the most important of all our stop-overs was that of Senior Island which we travelers reached in safety. Mr. Taylor, Miss Nelson, and Miss Wulz became officers of the crew in place of Mr. Sherman, Miss Holtz, and Miss Ware. Our stay upon this island has been marked by a multitude of responsibilities and business affairs. Above all, we have labored hard to put the finishing touches on our training period which is soon to end. Dramatics, and literary pursuits such as an annual and a weekly publication have claimed much of our extra-curricular time. We have frequently been examined in order that an estimate might be made of our academic proficiency and this has spurred us on to greater endeavors in order that none might be left on the Isle of Wisdom.” Thus the long four years have passed. The Freshies of 193.3 are the Seniors of 1937. The coast seems clear and our crew, now twenty-four strong, is getting ready to sail into the harbor which is full of mystery and uncertainty, proudly bearing aloft the banners of Red and Silver. It is our hope that all members of our crew may forever cherish the principles of worthy endeavor and fair play which we have received while on board ship. Storms there will be, blasted hopes are quite probable, but it is the successful man or woman who is able to season his efforts with patience, and fair play. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, - Learn to labor and to wail.” Longfellow 14 CLASS WILL « We, the class of 1937, in twenty-four individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour.

To Ford Jacobsen—hearts—a constant reminder of Betty. To Marvin Clary—coffee- -to stay awake in class. To Letand Dabler boxing lessons, to better his fighting career. To George Kates- jokebook, to spring some new jokes for a change. To Charles Jones—trailer, to haul his girls in. To Verne Olson—matches, so his search for a match will not be in vain. To Bernyl Sanden—brilliantine. To Harold Slier- hair wave, to keep in style. To Kenneth Slrole—broncho, to ride to Texas. To John Wright- rubber tire, for his limousine. To Lawrence Van Meir—mouth organ, to finish his musical career. To Litvin Thompson—(white) elephant. To Clinton Thompson—life savers. To Randall Jensen—Dick Tracy detective badge. To Neoma Barker—dog collar, to put on her barker.” To Gladys Conley—Windmill (er) . To Norma Lathrop -whistle, to master that hidden talent. To Dorothy Roush—a watch, to get in earlier at night. To Miss Beyer Miss Nelson Miss Wulz Mr. Hake Mr. Peart Mr. Taylor To the faculty, the senior class gives its honorable record and hope they may find another class as good in athletics, Studies, loyalty, and conduct as that of Thirty-Seven. To Air. Johnson—Any stubs of pencils, erasers or scraps of paper that we may inadvertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof. We, the Class of 1937, the testators, have to this, our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this twenty-first day of May, in the year of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven. « 15 2nd CLASS PASSENGERS ] SECOND CLASS PASSENGERS Top Row, Left to right—Erwin Thompson.

[ � - r, ] 2nd CLASS PASSENGERS • In the year 1934 twenty-five students came to Manlius High School to form a new Freshman class. After the usual ceremony of being initiated, we, as a class, began to appreciate the nature of high school life. During the first semester we were given a party by the members of the Sophomore class. Three of our members dropped from our roll during the second half of the year. Some of our number accompanied other classmates on a trip to the World’s Fair in Chicago. We started our second year at Manlius High with a little more confidence and eagerness to take up our school work. During this year we lost another of our members. Our second year went along smoothly and came to an end before we were quite aware of it. We soon entered our third year of school with more plans and work to accomplish. Several Juniors with other students took a trip to Chicago as a history project. The Juniors also purchased their class rings. A Junior class play was presented. One new member joined the Junior class another member left. The Juniors planned and financed a Junior-Senior banquet. This was the last social event of the year.

We had as our pilot, Helen Lathrop, who deserted us this year for the Walnut airlines. As co-pilot, Vcrla Smith held the controls; as secretary, Ronald Anderson; as treasurer, Opal Conley. At the head of our company was Miss Jessie Ware, our adviser, who also left us for a larger company. We flew through the clouds with the greatest ease,” testing the patience of teachers and ourselves. About May 30, after a year of fun and frolic and hard work, too, of course, we settled our plane on the landing field of Vacation,” to get rested to take another hop on our journey. After three months of rest and preparation, we took to the air again and soon were on our way. We have this year, a new set of people at the controls. As pilot, we have chosen Jean Allen Van Ormer, as co-pilot, Ronald Anderson, and as secretary-treasurer of the company, Leah Alters. Although we are in the second year of training, we still have as much fun as ever before, and disappoint the teachers occasionally, so they say. Our plane, the Sophomore Sea-gull,” has its ups and downs but Miss Virginia Wulz, our adviser, has managed to keep us right-side up. Although the year is not yet finished, we arc progressing rapidly and hope to reach our next landing field on schedule. [ Freshmen ] STEERAGE PASSENGERS • On a bright sunny day last September, a black and maroon airplane landed on the Manlius High School Athletic field. The upper-classmen rushed quickly to the scene and beheld 29 youngsters who claimed to be freshmen. The pilot, Jack Swanson, and co-pilot Marilyn Spratt, were piloting their passengers on the first lap of their journey of four years. The stewardess, Sadie Whipple, made sure that the new students would be comfortable for their coming journeys through the school. On a black rainy night the crew were guests at the Freshmen initiation party. Although the weather conditions weren’t favorable, a good time was had by all present. Four of the passengers lost their tickets and two more bought tickets for the four-year trip; nevertheless we are still flying high. SEMOfc-CLASS PICNIC r J k AxXMAi Friendship ASSEMBLY • The assembly is probably the most important room in the building. It is the largest room excepting the gymnasium, and in it independent and supervised study is carried on. The student library consisting of approximately one thousand volumes is found at the back of the room. Nearly all classroom entertainment is presented in this room, and a ping-pong table near the bookshelves furnishes a great deal of recreation for the students and serves as a reading table, as well. The assembly contains one hundred and four students this year. This group was divided into two literary societies and each has given a program alternately every two weeks. STUDENT COUNC II.

Bernyl Sandcn Members—Jack Swanson, Jean Allen Van Ormer, Kenneth Smith, Ruth Butler, Gladys Conley. Faculty Members.....Miss Beyer, Mr. Hake • The student council is in its second year of successful operation. Its main duty is to organize activities within the student body such as the carnival and school parties. This council is composed of two members from each class, and two members of the faculty who act as advisers. One illustration of the helpful work of the council was an assembly program which it conducted consisting of a short dramatization of several discourteous acts followed by a summary of proper conduct. THE MIRROR ST A El- Editor________________ Stanley Miller White, Margie Carlson, Verla Marine. Business Manager Edwin Mullin Robert Jensen, Paul Butler, Thelma Hartz. Associate Editors—Dorothy Palmer, Maxine Faculty Adviser Mr. Hake • To portray in the most fitting and best way the annals of the past year is a task which involves much time, arduous labor, and a spirit of cooperation even to the extent of sacrifice. There are two factors essential to the completion of the task. One is a willingness to work, the other is cooperation. The members of the Mirror Staff have enjoyed working together in the production of this annual. Several underclassmen have been very generous in the giving of their time and effort. To all who have rendered assistance in compiling the Mirror, the editor is very grateful. THE MAROON STAFF Editor.

Arleta Olson Advisers ............Miss Nelson, Mr. Hake • At the beginning of the year the school board purchased a new duplicating machine which has made our publication more easily printed and at a lower net cost than formerly. The Maroon” is being distributed without cost to the students this year. The aim of the Maroon is to foster and improve school spirit and to encourage any school activity which is worth while. 21 � GIRLS' GLEE CLUB • The girls' chorus of 1936-37 started with a membership of thirty-two. The three conditions under which the girls are to be presented honor awards at the end of the year are: appearance in public performances, perfect attendance, and attention in class. We are looking forward to the day when extra-curricular music may be organized as a co-curricular activity and credit toward graduation be granted for participation in it. The awarding of emblems promises to be a step in the right direction. BOYS' GLEE CLUB • About the beginning of the school year a boys’ glee club was organized under the direction of Miss Nelson. The large membership has functioned fairly well despite the fact that the club is newly organized. It is hoped that the present interest shown will be repeated next year and that the boys' vocal department which has been somewhat neglected in the past may prosper. Awards are to be presented this year to those members who through effort and achievement prove worthy. OCTETTE • The Octette was newly organized this year and great interest has been shown in the practices. Arua Hewitt has replaced Howard Butler since Howard left school. The members and their parts are as follows: First Tenor Kenneth Strole Killy Rudiger Second Tenor Adrian Miller Arley Nelson First Bass Edwin Mullin Paul Butler Second Bass Ben Butler Howard Butler BAND • Our band was not organized until late in the school year. Many students had expressed an interest in the formation of a band or orchestra by signing a petition, for organized instruction. Mr. Peart agreed to help in any way that he could, and was picked as leader. He is an accomplished trombone player but does not play in the band. Very few practices have been held because of lack of time. We have bought band books and some sheet music to give variety to the selections. If the band this year is a success, we hope it will lead the way to a bigger and better band or orchestra under a trained instructor. The members are: Saxophones Clarinet Trumpets Ethel Schmidt Rita Hewitt Charles Jones Maxine White Lawrence Van Meir Jack Swanson Mcllowphone Billy Rudiger Baritone Trombones Bass Edwin Mullin Ralph Jones Harold Andrews Hazel Riggs « 23 NEW FIRES ALL SCHOOL PLAY NOVEMBER 20 • The plot revealed how Stephen Santry, a Chicago author, realizing that the members of his family had lost their appreciation of the worthwhile things in life, took them to an inherited farm in the Missouri Ozarks, presumably for a week-end visit. At the first meal, he exploded his bombshell that they were to stay, and that to eat, everyone must do his share of work. Billy and Phyllis, adolescents of 15 and 16, scented fun in the new adventure, and the hope of being released from school, but Stephen found determined opposition in Anne, his luxury-loving wife, Olive, his spoiled 23 year-oId daughter, ; wife for his father's surprise and support.

One by one the former friends died until only Doctor Winslow and his son and the two Grey sisters were left. However, through the love and wisdom of the blind sister and the misfortune of the doctor's son, the two families were restored to former friendliness and happiness.

The strange house, they eventually discovered, was built over the shaft of an old mine, and was operated by a diabolically clever device which enabled its owner to move the building up and down the shaft as if it were an elevator. It was while the visitors were at the bottom of the old mine that Master Goeffrey wove together the strands of their tangled lives. The play was rich in comedy, thrills, and sane philosophy concerning the present social order. Cast of characters follows: Joyce Calvert, a successful young business woman_________Marian Christensen Loa, her maid and companion .

ERWIN E. HAKE • All high school dramatics and public speaking activities of the year have been under the direction of Mrs. Hake. Much of her college work was done in the field of speech and the plays of the year have been of excellent quality. Mrs. Hake is a graduate of McKendree College, having received her degree there in 1929. She holds membership in Alpha Psi Omega, National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity. « ■ 25 � CLOTHING • With Miss Wulz as our instructor we feel that we have progressed very much during the year. Most of the grades have been above average. We have good equipment with which to work and only this year four new electric sewing machines were bought for our use. Our first project was a towel on which we could embroider either a design or our monogram. Then we made our pajamas, which were of cotton. This took us over six weeks. Just before the holidays we made a variety of Christmas presents. We then had the privilege of choosing between smocks and blouses. Dresses were next and by this time we were beginning to feel fairly well advanced. Our last project was a dress. PHYSICS • One of the main advantages in the study of Physics is the acquiring of ability to apply the general principles of nature to things one sees about him. Physics is often regarded as consisting of five separate fields. However, they must be considered as being definitely correlated with each other. The units takes up in our Physics course are: Mechanics and Properties of Matter, Heat, Magnetism and Electricity, Wales, Matter, and Sound, Light Waves, Electrical Emissions and Waves. Specific examples, demonstrations, and rules enable the student to have a better understanding of the fundamentals of Physics and the conditions under which they operate. AGRONOMY • The Agronomy class has covered a wide range of subject-matter about soil, legumes, orcharding, gardening, and hybrid seed corn. The students have gone on many interesting field trips on which they have pruned trees, picked corn, tested soil, and studied the nodules on legumes. They have learned many interesting things on these field trips. They have cut up seed potatoes and have also tested seed corn for the farmers who have brought in their seed for this purpose. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA • The Future Farmers of America is a student organization associated with work in vocational agriculture. To belong to the Future Farmers, one must be enrolled in one of the three academic vocational agriculture courses and keep records on a project. There are several degrees of rank in the F. F. A. The highest attainable is that of American Farmer, the next that of State Farmer, and the lowest is Green Hand. This year's officers are as follows: President................Lawrence Van Meir Treasurer.......................Wayne Mohr Vice President Marvin Clary Reporter Bernyl Sandcn Secretary ....................

The regular squad was composed largely of seniors, who, having the experience carried on a good share of the gridiron work. Manlius first tumbled Tiskilwa and then breezed along over Sheffield and Neponset and gained decisive victory over Walnut before a large Homecoming crowd. Coach Taylor's strong squad journeyed to Wyanet but met defeat at the hands of the conference champions. With only one defeat to mar their record, the team took honors of second place in the league. Manlius, always to be considered in the running, has hopes for a good team next year. FOOTBALL SCORES Here There Manlius 0 Alumni 0 13 7 Manlius 20 Buda 0 39 Sheffield 0 Manlius 40 0 . 0 26 Manlius 20 Walnut 6 BASKETBALL • The usual number of boys reported for basketball at the close of the football season but the squad was soon reduced to fifteen boys. The basketball season was not as successful as the football season. After winning the first few games, Manlius was defeated by several Little Eight teams. They did not reach the finals in any tournament. However, this is no discredit to the team for they fought hard against the strong competition. Manlius was host to the Little Eight Tournament, in which the strong Bureau Township cagers won. The basketball team will suffer a loss this year, since there were eight seniors on the team. There is, however, much talent returning for next year’s squad.

A. A. • Our G. A. A. was organized at the beginning of the year with twenty-five members and meetings are held once each week. Each girl keeps a weekly health chart—one means of gaining points toward an award. Other points are earned by participating in organized and unorganized activities. Three Senior G. A. A. members are entitled to State Awards. Other members will receive the smaller emblems. Our G. A. A. officers are as follows: President.......................Vcrla Marine Secretary................ Jean Allen Van Ormcr Vice President Dorothy Roush Treasurer Ethel Schmidt « 31 � $ ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS $ • On October nineteenth, the Reverend Mister Barrington, an evangelist, gave us our first assembly program of the year. Mr. Barrington spoke on the evils of Communism. We found his talks very educational and interesting. We found them to be so interesting that on the next day, by request, he returned to favor us with another program. Mrs. Barrington, also furnished us some musical numbers. On Armistice Day, we laid aside our books and paid respect to those who eighteen years before had given their lives for our country. After the sounding of taps, the program was begun. The speaker for the event was Attorney Joseph Peterson of Princeton. Marilyn Spratt gave the reading. In Flander's Fields, and Mrs. Jeannette Johnson sang the war song. Till We Meet Again. At the close of this program we were dismissed for the day. Perhaps the most humorous program of the year was given on December twenty-first by Mr. Hilkey. Mr. Hilkey was a reader of James Whitcomb Riley’s poems and also a humorist. He recited some of Riley's best known poems, such as When the Frost is on the Pumpkin, Little Orphan Annie, and Down at Old Aunt Mary’s. His impersonation of a bashful and timid little boy reciting Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, was indeed side-splitting. Bill Bone, an old friend to many of us, gave a very interesting program on January twenty-seventh. Mr. Bone recited and talked on the life of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Bone, at present, lives in the town of New Salem and knows many stories about Lincoln. Most of these stories he has set to verse. He told us many interesting events that happened in Lincoln’s life. A Courtesy program sponsored by the Student Council and the Faculty was given on February eighteenth. The Student Coun- cil and Miss Beyer re-enacted discourteous scenes that occur in the schoolroom. Then thev showed the courteous manner in which these scenes could be conducted. After this dramatization, Miss Wulz and Mr. Taylor spoke on the subject of Courtesy. Without a doubt this was the most beneficial program of the year. On Monday, March first, the Delphians of the newly organized Literary Societies gave the first literary program of the year. Some hidden talent was found in the school. The most humorous part of the program was the impersonations of the teachers by pupils. Weal 1 enjoyed this program and looked eagerly forward to the next program. The Philomatheans sponsored an amateur hour on March fifteenth. The acts which received the most applause from the audience were given prizes. First prize was awarded to the musical four of Mike, Ike, Shike, and Spike, who were no other than Ben Butler, Kenneth Strole, Harold Andrews and Howard Andrews. The Girls of the Golden West,” who were Gladys and Opal Conley won second prize. The third prize was captured by Verla and Bernadine Teske and Trcva Renner who impersonated The Three Little Maids. All agreed that they enjoyed this amateur hour as well as any that Major Bowes has ever sponsored. The most scientific and probably the most interesting assembly program was presented by C. H. Bcrglund of Minneapolis, Minn., on April 7. He gave a very fascinating demonstration of dry ice and liquid air. Liquid air, we were told is as yet of no commercial value but dry ice is becoming more and more widely used. Other student assembly programs were presented at intervals of two weeks but could not be described here because of the necessity of sending our copy to the printer in April. 32 $ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY $ • Listen, all ye mortals, and I will bring you words of wisdom for the future. 1 have had visions and dreams of the years to come of the class of 1937, and 1 heard the voice of the All Prophet, Amah, telling me to behold all things that shall come to pass for the young men and women in Manlius High School in the Class of 1937. So, if you students will listen to me, as a messenger and a prophet, 1 will bring you my visions of your future with the aid of the crystal glass. Ah—1 can see people. They are more distinct now. It is a social gathering, and I hear the strains of orchestra music and laughter in its midst. Now, the music is soft and melodious. Maxine, the leader, is playing her saxophone with her orchestra accompanying her. She has the undivided attention, ot all of her listeners. She has finished her number now, and I see several distinguished notables going up to her, asking her to play for them at other prominent affairs. One of the notables, who is talking to her, is Adrian, who controls almost all of the automobile factories in North America. He is a very diginified gentleman and distributes his wealth very freely. As the noise of the crowd is dying away, quiet seems to prevail. A huge modern hospital is before my eyes now, and looking into one of the operating rooms, 1 see Edwin performing a major operation. On all, sides of him, sitting in a balcony, are students from all parts of the country watching his skilful hands perform one of his important operations. One of the students is Dorothy, who has been studying nursing for four years and is now taking a course in medical surgery. The scene is now changing to what seems to be another large building. It is a very beautiful building—yes, it is a pent-house— the home of Marian. She has followed the career of an actress and has been very successful. Now the hum of an airplane seems to be getting closer and closer. 1 can see Merle guiding the ship. He is working for the American Airlines, transporting passengers to all parts of the world. One of his passengers is Elsie, a missionary, who is going to Japan to convert the Japanese to Christianity. She has enjoyed a very successful lifetime of service. Two other passengers, familiar to us, are in the plane. One is Margie, who is a designer and a seamstress. She is going to Paris, France to design clothes for the celebrities and for the well-to-do class of people. The other passenger is Arley. He has won many cups and major awards for winning races in his Torpedo” racer and he is now going to Switzerland to compete in the international motorcycle races, representing America. Now the scene is changing again, and 1 find myself in a large business association building. The clacking of typewriters midst the hurried business talk fills the air. As 1 look into one of the business offices, 1 see Velma typing from a dictaphone. She has won her high position through her accuracy and rapid typing. She has passed speed tests which have broken records of some excellent typists. In another section of this business firm is a law office. As 1 look in, I see Robert Edlefson, and Arnold giving a client advice for a case to be tried before the Supreme Court. People from miles around come to see them about court matters. They are well fitted for this occupation and get, a great enjoyment out of their work because they win most of their cases. A change again is taking place and the sound of music is heard. This time, it is in a studio where Stanley is teaching voice to students from all over the world. He has trained many of the famous opera stars who can give credit to him for his splendid technique of culturing the voice. One of his students is Arleta who has taken a number of lessons from him. Her fame as a singer has spread over the United States. 1 can see now, a large hotel, modern in very respect. The rooms inside are equipped with beautiful, up-to-date furniture and there is always good service. In this hotel, are a few' people we recognize. Verla, Arva, Lulu, Robert Jensen and Wayne Mohr. Verla is a professional dancer in the best opera houses, having devoted her life to her vocation. Arva is the chef in the hotel. Many people, who arc accustomed to eating aw'ay from home, eat in the dining room of the hotel because Arva is such a good cook and knows so many delicious dishes. He has broadcast many of his famous recipes on the radio. Lulu is a blues singer on the hotel’s evening programs. Her songs reveal her cultured voice. She has spent a vast sum of money to perfect her voice. Robert 33 � Jensen is the master of ceermonies for the floor shows. He has a pleasing personality and every night after his performances he is mobbed by people who want his autograph. Wayne is the editor of four of the best known newspapers in America. He has studied for this profession since he finished high school, working himself up from a newspaper reporting job. Now as 1 look again, 1 see something which seems to be a race of some kind. Oh yes, it is a swimming meet. The champion swimmer of the State of Illinois, Paul, is competing against the champions of three-other states. The signal is given and the race is on for a speedy half-mile swim. Paul first lags behind but he is gradually overtaking his competitors. He wins the race and carries away the honors of the championship of the U. S. Now, there appears before me a large-church, over-crowded with people who wish to hear Olin deliver his next message. Olin has been in the ministry for several years and his audiences never tire of hearing his interpretation of the Scripture. As the church fades from my view, a small, well kept home, takes its place. In this beautiful dwelling lives Thelma. She is married and has all the comforts of life she wants. She has been offered positions on the radio for giving home advice but she prefers her quiet home life. Now, before my eyes, 1 see a traveling salesman who roams across the country to prospective buyers. 1 can see better now— oh, yes it is Luic. He has sold, with much tactful ability, many modern homes to people who at first were undecided about moving into new homes. He has sold three pent houses inside of one month. One of the pent houses which Luie has sold belongs to the wealthy widow, Alverda. She has many beautiful clothes which were designed by one of the best designers in America. Her husband, who was a real estate salesman, left her a monthly annuity of one thousand dollars. With this money, she manages to live very comfortably. And now, all in the crystal ball fades into oblivion. Twenty years from today may every member of the class of 1937 recognize the unfailing and uncanny accuracy of the prophetic crystal. May the struggle for achievement be not too discouraging for success awaits each of you. $ ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF YEAR $ Record Enrollment Literary Societies Reorganized Skating Pond Built and Used Very Successful Little Eight Tournament Sponsored Seniors Attended Vocational Conference at Macomb Boys’ Glee Club and Octette organized Lost only one football game G.
