TIME MARCHES ON ln the year i937-l938 much happened, and rapidly. However near or remote the events were to us, they constituted a part of our development. Unusual history was made. The Chino-Japanese War, the Spanish Civil strife, the occupa- tion of Austria by German dictator Adolf Hitler, the resignation of Anthony Eden, British Foreign Min- ister, and the defeat of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's plan to en- large the United States Supreme Court were set down as records that defy the tooth of time. In a smaller way events of mo- ment in the ,activities of students, teachers, and administrators have occurred la t Maplewood-Richmond Heights High School which are chronicled here in the l938 Maple Leaves.
