s Zs X2 2 6 A. S ' 37 T,i Tin- Ai rs, I he Class of S ' 37 You are the golden class, the fiftieth graduating class in the history of the school ! Such an event is usually celebrated in an extraordinary manner in all spheres of life. We are making the event notable by inviting the members of the first graduating class of twenty-five years ago to be our special guests on this occasion. At your commencement you will receive your di- plomas at the hands of Miss [Catherine L. Carey, assistant superinten- dent of schools, the faculty sponsor of the first graduating class, who was at that time a member of our faculty. The first graduating class numbered twenty-eight ; you marshal! a bust of five hundred and sixty-five, the largest class in our school ' s his- tory to this day. As we look nver the roster of the first class and examine the first semi-annual Artisan, in which they recounted the acheivements of their school days, and as we note their subsequent careers and stations in life, we cannot but think that they exemplify Abraham Lincoln ' s motto: I will study and get ready and maybe my chance will come. 1 am sure that the members oi the first class commend that motto to the Archers of Sum- mer Thirty - - ' en Allien E.
