OEOicenofi t ' vOC ' rOll JOHN (J . THOINIAS, to you who could have at- M tallied greatness in more opportune places, but who ehose to remain in our humble group; to you, who aside from vac- cinating us against disease, have helped vaccinate us against igno- rance, we, the Senior Class of 1937, dedicate this book, our most cherished possession. Our feeling toward you shall ever be that of gratitude, and rev- erence, for we know now that the wisdom and knowledge we have received during these past twelve years have been made possible only through the efforts of you and your neighbors. J ' hank you. Sir, for so generously offering to each of us an oppor- tunity to a higher, more noble life. Page f ' our

n ID E s s II e E To the Meinherfi of fhe Claims- of 19.37: Xotliing is more satisfying tlian truo friends and enduring friendships. Witliont tlieni, life wonld trnly l)e l)arren; with them, onr earthly careers are tremendously enriched. Youth is the mo.st favorable time to mak( ' friends and the common experiences of a school career form a strong foun- dation ni)on which to build friendships. During the four years yon have spent together in Mar|)le-Xewtown High School, the intimate contacts, jxrssible oidy in a small .school, have caused yon to know each other closely. The fact has In ' cn brought out clearly that every mendier of your class has many fine ciualities which are recpiired in the formation of true friendships. Do not let your association, one with the other, cea.se to exi.st. You will find that some f)f the mo.st pleasing ex])eriences of later years will come from friend.shi]j.s established during your high .school days. I hope that the years .s])ent by you at ] lari)le-Xewtown will leave such an imi)re.s.sion that they will form some of yonr most ha])py and lasting memories. Page Five
