Toward highest goals we have tended,- Experienced both rises and falls. Sometimes We have felt so discouraged, We feared we should nevermore riseg But, guided by fondest ambitions, At last we have gained the high prize. High praise we give to our teachers Who guided our learning each year,- Who taught us the noblest and best thoughts And helped us to banish all fear. We ne'er shall forget our companions And all of their friendships so dear: For always they'1l linger in memory, Whether afar or near. When Commencement time is over We'll go from this high school so grand, And with this world's most honored At the top we ever shall stand. GRACE ELLENBERGER DORANNA LUCAS DAVID BARRETT Adelaide Shull, Alivisar Class History The time has come for the members of our class, the class of 1937, to reminisce back into the days of our schooling and to recall to mind as a group, for the last time, the joys we have shared during our school days. In the year Nineteen Hundred and Twenty- four a group of small boys and girls, number- ing 64, entered Kindergarten in the Elementary Building and began learning our A-B-Cfs. That same year our class made up the first Kinder- garten Band augmented by a few members of the first grade. We were school children then, and in the fall of 1925, 124 pupils entered the first grade to start our real learning. Then came second, third and fourth grades with their increased knowledge. During our fourth grade the Blue Ribbon Health system was started and our class was a IOOW Blue Ribbon class the remainder of our years in the Elementary Building. Also during the fourth grade, our class won a. beautiful three panel picture for aiding the Parent-Teachers Association in the membership drive. It still hangs in room 303 on the third floor. In the fifth grade, members of our class took part in the elementary school play, The Soul of Priscilla, a thanksgiving play given on No- vember 29, 1929. On july 21, 1930 we lost an active member of our class, Richard Dwyer. He died suddenly while working with his father at their home. His death was a first break in our class. In the sixth grade we won a large health banner, another honor for our class. During the same year our class took part in the George Washington pageant. The following fall, 1931, 123 of us entered the seventh grade to start the second lap of our education. One of the most important events in the history of the Junior high school took place in October, 1931. We, as seventh graders, shared in this event which was the organization of the School Boy Patrol. Members of our class who had part in this organization were Frederick Clayton, William Gray, Jack McCray, Clarence Narcross, Meredith Nicley, John Starn, and Parker Wilson. Through the courtesy of Mr. Roy Starn, the patrol was able to present traffic signals to the school. . The organization of four clubs was also a high-light in our seventh grade. They were as follows: Far and Near Clubf' Red Cross Club, Glee Club, and f'Dramatic Club sponsored by Miss Merle Ellis, Miss Edna Thompson, Miss Grace jackson, and Miss Flor- ence Dilts, respectively. In eighth grade, the second part of our junior high school years, we were presented with a pair of love birds for having the most parents members of the Parent-Teachers As- sociation. Our class also took part in the play The Littlest Shepardl, presented on December 16, 1932. During our eighth grade, those boys who had served on the school patrol during both seventh and eighth grades received certificates of merit from Governor George White. Our assembly officers for eighth grade were as follows, president jack McCray, vice presi- dent, james McWilliams, second vice president, john Starng Flag Guardians, William Gray and Mary Belle Keener. During the school year, our class sponsored two addresses by the African Bushman, Lobo- gola. The second lap of our education was now left in memories. In the fall of 1933, 135 of us entered our first year of high school to start the third and last lap of our learning. This year thirty tuition students entered our class. Class officers were president, Betty Wolfe, vice president, David Barrett, secretary-treas- urer, Betty Wilkin. Jack McCray served as Student Senate representative. Grace Ellen- berger and Molly Ann Cockerill received Scholarship f'M's. In the fall of 1934, We elected the following to serve as our Sophomore class officer.: presi- dent, Molly Ann Cockerillg vice president, Wil- liam Sulcebargerg secretary-treasurer, Martha Graves. john Starn was chosen Student Senate representative. On March 15, 1935, the operetta Crocodile Island was presented by the high school. Our class was well represented in the cast. During that school term, Grace Ellengerger attained the high average of 95, therefore, being permitted to wear the Scholarship M'l. On August 14, 1935, james Allen McWil- liams died in Children's Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio after an illness of several months. James was outstanding in scholastics, athletics, and all school activities and has been sadly missed by his classmates. Class officers were again elected shortly after we entered upon our third year in high school. Those chosen were president, John Starn, vice president, Molly Ann Cockerill, secretary-treas- urer, Martha Graves. These officers were elect- ed with the understanding that they would serve during both junior and Senior years. Robert John Ralph and William Sulcebarger were Student Senate representatives, chosen for a term of one year. For the first time in several years, a Junior class play was presented in McClain Auditorium on November 22, 1935. The play chosen and presented was UA Full House. Those taking part were Alice Mae Smith, Virginia Douglass, Sarah Harvey, Betty Wilkin, Grace Hammond, Jane johnson, Pauline Cook, jack McCray, David Barrett, Fred Addy, Delton Yager, james Harps, William Price, and Frederick Clayton. On May 15, 1936 we entertained the Senior Class of '36 at a banquet held in McClain cafe- teria. An interesting program was presented by the Juniors assisted by Miss Margaret Beaver, Virgil Elmore, Hillsboro, Ohio, and jimmy Har- ris and his orchestra. After the banquet the juniors sponsored the Junior-Senior dance, held at Greenfield Armory. At the close of the year, Grace Ellenberger and Margaret Hudson were priviledged to wear Scholarship HM's. Now let us look in on the Senior year. Elmer Pollard, jack McCray, David Barrett, Frederick Clayton, the class president, John Starn, and the Vice president, Molly Ann Cockerill were class representatives in the Student Senate. We chose the Gardenia as class flower, and Rose and Silver for class colors. The flrst semester seemed to go very slow, but when we entered the second semester we were kept very busy. On April 3, VVinona Konneker, Molly Ann Cockerill, Grace Ellenberger, Margaret Hudson, Esther Jane Cook, Esther Fulwiler, Clarence Narcross, John Starn, William Gray, Charles Spargur, William Bowers, and Jack McCray participated in the Scholarship tests at Hillsboro High School.

Now we are stepping from the past into the future, and may the life history of each member of this, the class of 193 7, be filled with happiness and success. WILLIAM GRAY BKIARY UHL MARGARET HUDSON GRACE A. BLAKE, Advisor Class Knocker Since the time of year has arrived to put down comments about our fellow students it is our duty to tell you your most important fault so that in the years that are to come you will heed this warning and reform before it is too late. Be prepared to hear the worst as our motto is: Justice for All. James Harps thinks he knows so much. We suggest that you sit down and study a blank sheet of paper to improve your intelligence, Jim. Parker Wilson may be 18 years old but we see that he never comes up town unescorted. Still tied to your mothers apron strings, Parker? We suggest that Esther Cook and Thelma Crago get some advice on love from David Bar- rett and Sarah Harvey. It will be a big help girls, they've had success. The Class of 1937 may not graduate the smartest boy or the tallest boy, but we cer- tainly have the laziest boy. None other than Fred Addy. Edna Wolfe got her engagement ring so early that we are afraid it will be worn out before she gets married. Or is all this a big bluff, Edna? Billy Price has chizzled his way through high school. Never mind Billy, the world will be a harder rock to chizzle than the students of McClain high school. We suggest that Jean Wolfe learns to warble before she builds up her ambitions to be a blues singer too high. We wonder if Robert Hodge is going to wait till he grows up to go out for football. Molly Ann Cockerill is so thrifty that she goes with a mail man to keep from spending postage. We wonder if Marion Chaney has any water in his home. He is always talking swimming. To Gertrude Woodruff and Ruth Wood, we say that the flow of words is not a sign of wis- dom. It seems to us that Athelia Thompson and Vernon Mills would be better off if they had more in their heads than in their hearts, after seeing them stand out in the cold all winter. Maybe they've got their love to keep them warm. Freddy Clayton had to wait until he got a football letter before he got a girl. Since Irene Binegar has completed her ed- ucation in high school we suggest a cosmetic education. Please don't take lessons from Mary Uhl, Irene. The only reason Byron Patton resembles Robert Taylor is because he has his hair slick- ed down. Evelyn Fishback was always fishing back, but now she is slipping back. Bentley Wagner and Richard Kelly are so cheap that they smoke pipes to keep from giv- ing their friends cigarettes. We imagine that sometime soon Virginia Douglas will become a Olympic Star-she has had so much practice running after Freddy Clay- ton. Since Charles Sparger is graduating he is now permitted to keep company with the fresh- man girls. Since Mary Stanley has such nice quiet ways, we feel sure that there will be a big blow up some day. If the school had to depend on people like Fred Hill to take the scholarship test, we would be at the bottom of the list. Marietta Downs is still wandering how her little head can hold so much. We have never seen Howard Campbell with a girl. The only reason known is that he hasn't gotten over his childish pranks yet. We wonder what Margaret Ellen Baird and Meredith Nicley intend to do after they grad- uate. They have both taken all the snap courses in high school. Winona Konnecker is always seen by her- self. What's the matter Winona? Aren't the people around here good enough for you? If Paul Angel didn't talk so much and say so little he would get along better and have more friends. The literature Evelyn Wilson reads fits too much into her personality. You poor love sick darling. As for James Byrd and William Byrd, we have never been able to figure them out. They say the early bird catches the worm, but we doubt if they were ever up that early. We believe that Dorothy Clay is ashamed of her teeth, because we never see her smile. john Starn says if there is a better man liv- ing he has never met him. Well, don't rely too much on what you see in the mirror, john. Betty Grassley has her hats made special. No stock size will fit her head. Harold Dixon is the most duless boy in the senior class. For a change Harold, we suggest that you walk on your feet and give your hands a rest. If Marjorie Gilliland had to depend on sen- ior boys for dates she would be twiddling her thumbs as usual. We thought that Glen Howard was opposed to the opposite sex, but since he has that Ford Roadster, he says it is easy to pick up a fresh- man date. We often wonder how Irene Jacobs and Mary Ann Pettiford can be so quiet and wear such loud colors. George Seldon says that he knows all the new tap steps. We know one step you missed George, the porch step. The senior class has been proud these four years to have two big cry babies. jane Johnson and Pauline Cooke. William Gray it seems has gotten away from his kittenish ways but still lingers to his knitting for a pleasant passtime. That t'Old Maid Stage is going to get Mary Bell Keener if she doesn't watch out. Robert Lyle, that big bag of wind in our senior class says he is all brawn and muscle. Well, we don't agree with you Bob, especially when we see that strip of fat between your ears. Bettygene Reeves doesnlt have enough hair. We suggest that you get a wig, Betty- gene. jack McCray thinks he has a wonderful voice. Yes, like the flap of wings and the croak of a frog. Who are we knocking, jack or the frog? We feel sure that Emily Jane Rowe thinks she is the boss or has the ability to run the whole school system. It has been said that if a person has a car he can get any girl he wants. Well, Forest Post has had a car four years and so far hasn't had any success. When Mary Alice Ridgeway discovers the fact that there are more towns in Ohio beside New Petersburg, she will have a more complete education. Charles Dodds, Robert Hay, and John Swiss- helm have that everlasting blush. Better be careful boys. Some day the right girl will come along and then you will be sorry that you blush so easily. We are betting on Alice Arnott to fill a large position when she graduates. What does Harry Collins think about all the time? You never see him unless he is laughing, at something, or is it just the Scotch in you, Harry? When Betty Wolfe, Elsie Kennedy, and Doranna Lucas get together in New Peters- burg, it sounds like an f'Old Maids Convention. Clarence Narcross is entirely too brilliant for this school. We think you should run for president sometime Clarence, so that the rest of the world could share your knowledge. We suggest that Louise Penn stay with the pen. We know you can't type Louise. Elmer Pollard, that Shiek from New Peters- burg certainly thinks he is HIT. We are glad you think so, Elmer. Margaret Ann Hudson may be a good typist, but you have to wear make-up also to be a good stenographer, Margaret Ann. William Bowers reminds us of the White Top dandelion going to seed. We often get Mildred Wolfe mixed up with the statues around McClain. She is to doless. Billy Sulcebarger is surely charitable. He likes to give but can't take HITH. Since Grace Ellenberger is so smart, just why didn't she go places on that intelligence test? Our Bobby john Ralph used to be a good athlete before he was hen-pecked. Did you ever notice that Grace Hammond spends most of her spare time in Washington C. H.? What's the matter Gracie? Do the boys in Greenfield know you too well? We could never understand why Isephine Green, Marjorie Haines, and Esther Fulwiler were never popular in school activities. The only reason we know is that they just couldn't make the grade. That Monkey Bob Martha Graves has is certainly becoming to her. We wonder what the rest of the world will do now that Alice Mae Smith has been turned loose? Lucille Ware thinks she is cute. By the way Lucille, cute means bowlegged. We wonder what the average student would be like if they had tempers like Isabel Coler, ambitions like Marjorie Pollard, and ideas like Mildred Taylor. We wonder why Evalee Alexander wears so much make-up? Lay off for a while Evalee, and let us see that school girl complexion that you boast about so much. Betty, Delton and I were chosen to write this paper because it would take up too much time and space to tell all the good points and characteristics about us. Yet, this well prepared paper was all writ- ten in fun with malice toward none. BETTY WILKIN TACY HARPS DELTON YAGER J. W. GRIESHEIMER, Advisor Class Degrees ln presenting the various members of the Senior Class of 1937 the degrees that they have earned during their four years in high school, we approach this task with a great deal of doubt and uncertainty. In the first place many of the Seniors really don't know just what degree they have earned, and it consequently depends upon us to decide for them, and in the second place many degrees that have actually been earned can't be included in this list because of our sense of modesty. Be this as it may, we deem it a great honor to have the privilege of con- fering these various degrees upon the members of the Senior Class and trust that they shall be accepted in the same spirit of good will and friendliness that they have been given. Our worthy President, John Daniel Starn had the honor of being chosen Governor of the Buckeye Boys' State, so we give him the degree J. G. S.--JUST GOVERNOR STARN. We all know that by the time we are Sen- iors we should have forgotten our baby ways -but since Jane Johnson has never gotten over being a baby we give her the degree C. B. S. --Class Big Baby. Alice Mae Smith seems to think Mr. Wic- kersham will not be able to get along without her, but that is what she thinks. So we give her the degree M. L. H.-Mac's Little Helper. Betty Wilkin has tried all year to get a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior boy friend, and any others she could get, so Betty rates the degree W. A. B.-Wants All The Boys. To Wynona Konnecker we give the degree S. B. N. H. Seen But Never Heard. C. P. is the degree bestowed upon Gertrude Woodruff. Not Class Pet, But Class Pest, be- cause she insists upon pestering some one all the time. After George Seldon proved his dancing abil- ity in the HM Minstrel we give him the degree B. R. S. Bill Robinson the Second. Since Virginia Douglass has the ability to get any boy she wants to fall for her and buy her diamond rings we give her the degree A. C. A. D.-A Karat a Day. Because Alice Arnott is the smallest mem- ber of our class we give her the degree L. A. Little Alice. To Evalee Alexander we give the degree G. G. M. M.-God's Gift to the Money Man. Molly Ann Cockerill and Martha Graves pretend to be such good girls, but lately our detectives have found out some interesting things, so we think they deserve the degree T. N. A.-They're No Angels. Sarah Harvey only has time for Dave Bar- rett so we give her the degree J. D. just David's. Fred Addy just doesn't care for any of the girls so we give him the degree W. H. Woman Hater. Dorothy Clay has studied hard her four years at McClain and is never seen without a book so we give her the degree S. D. Studious Dorothy. There always has to be a pessimist around somewhere and this year the Class of '37 has a pessimist. He claims he really isn't but we can't agree with him-so to Delton Yager we give P. D. Pessimistic Delton. Every class always has to have a shiek and the Class of '37 boasts a Petersburg boy. To John Robert Swisshelm we give P. S. Peters- burg Shiek. T. L. H.-Tippy, Looney, but Happy is given to Tacy Lillian Harps. Enough said. Although Betty Lou Grassley started to school with a great many of us we still can't get acquainted with her. She seems to hide away from us so we give her the degree. H. A. G.-Hide Away Girl. We bestow J. M.-just Mary, upon Mary Uhl, because she is 1'-lust Maryn to all of us. To Dave Barrett we give S. A.,not Sarah's Angel, but Swell Athlete, for his athletic ability that he displayed in football this year. Lucille Ware should receive the degree V. W. -Vicious Woman because she is always knock- ing poor Johnny Ashling around all the time. Billy Bowers is such a quiet boy we give him the degree S. W.-Silent Willie. Paul Angel has honestly earned his degree of T H. I.-Thinks He's It. What is your opinion against thousands of others though Paul? We only have one red head in our class so we give Isabel Coler C. R.-Class Redhead. O. W. M. One Woman, is given to Billy Sulcebarger, because he wonlt go with anyone, but Ann Kyle. William Dean Price, better known as Billy, is given the degree C. C.-Class Chisler. 'Nuff Said. Louise Penn has made such a hit with the Alumni boys of McClain or one in particular, so we give her the degree A. B. G. F. Alumni Boy's Girl Friend. ' Pauline Cooke and Doranna Lucas are al- ways giggling about something, whether it is funny or not, so we give them the degree C. G. -Class Gigglers. To Grace Hammond we give the degree C. G. D.-Class Gold Digger. 'Nuff said. Athelia Thompson holds one of the class records to go with one boy for four years, and because of this ability we give her the degree S. H. H. M.-She Holds Her Man. Next it is only fitting to give Vernon his degree, so they can be together, so there is only one degree that fits Vernon Mills and that is H. P. V.-Hen Pecked Vernon. Because of Howard Campbell's consistent drawing of comic pictures we give him the de- gree C. C. C.-Crazy Comic Cutup. After the event that occured following the Junior and Senior Banquet of 1936 we give Jim Harps the degree G. L. D.-Gracie's Little Dar- ling. That does sound natural doesn't it Jim??? Since William Roy Gray is so popular with all the girls we will just have to give him the degree L. M.-Ladies' Man. Richard Kelly receives the degree M. W. B. P.-Miss Whinery's Big Problem. That is about right isn't it Miss Whinery??? Since Esther Jane Cooke has held high honors for her good work in high school we give her the degree C. S. G.-Class's Smart- est Girl. Because Emily Jane Rowe has the ability to ask more dumb questions than Mildred Wolfe or anyone else in McClain high school, we give her the degree J. D. just Dumb. To Jack McCray we give the degree J. S.- Jazz Slayer, for his part in the 'KM' Minstrel. Bentley Wagner who arrives late to every class receives the degree W. B.-Way Behind. To Marjorie Haines we give the degree S. A. F.-Short and Fat. To Edna Wolfe, who hails from the country we give the degree C. L.-Country Lassie. Fred Hill, who always goes along in the same old way, rates the degree J. D.-just a Drifter. To Marjorie Gilliland we give the degree R. C., not Richard Carson, but Right Cute. For Irene Jacobfs outstanding work in Journ- alism we give her the degree N. F. N.-Nose For News. To Irene Benigar we give the degree M. K., -Not Mark King, but Most Kind. Grace Ellenberger has proven her ability as a debator, so we give her the degree C. D.-C lass Debator. To Glenn Lee Howard, who is seldom seen without his motorcycle, we give the degree M. K.-Motorcycle King. Since Bobbie John Ralph has a way with all women, especially women with fine cars and money, we give him the degree, J. G.-just a Gigolo. Freddie Clayton hasn't paid much attention to any particular girl until this year and he rates the degree F. F. H.-Fell Fast and Hard. Since Esther F ulwiler blushes everytime any boy looks at her we give her the degree B. S.- Boy Shy. To Thelma Crago we give the degree B. C. -Boy Crazy. ,Nuff Said. Robert Hodge, Charles Dodds, Charles Spargur, and Forest Post are always seen to- gether so we give them the degree J. P.-just Pals. Robert Hay rates the degree B. B.-Bashful Boy, because he simply will not have anything to do with the girls. Robert Lyle thinks he is a He Man so we give him the degree T. G.-Tough Guy. We confer F. F. B.-Future Farmer Boy, upon Byron Patton, because his only interest is farming. Harold Dixon keeps such late hours that we give him the degree M. S.-Moon Struck. To Elmer Pollard We give the degree K. D. M.-Keener's Dream Man. Nuff said. Because of Marion Chaneyls outstanding swimming records we give him the degree C. S. -Champion Swimmer. Because Margaret Ann Hudson is very good in Art we give her the degree M. A.-Master of Arts. Meredith Nicely is always buying candy for some one else so we give him the degree C. S. C. -Class Santa Claus. Elsie Kennedy is always so happy that we give her the degree C. M. R. G.-Class's Most Radiant Girl. Because Clarence Narcross is always tor- menting some one we give him the degree C. T. -Class Tormentor. Since Jean Wolfe tells Albert Chrisman everything she does when they are not together we give jean the degree T. H. A.-Tells Him All. C. O.-Class Orbit, one who goes around in circles, is bestowed upon Ruth Wood. Mary Alice Ridgeway, who seems to be very much in love, rates the degree L. Y. G. M. -Love You've Got Me. The only degree we can find to bestow upon Bettygene Reeves is H. Q.-Hamberger Queen. To Mary Stanley we give the degree S. S.- Short and Sweet. For Mildred Wolfe's musical ability we give her the degree M. M.-Musical Millie. Since Marjorie Pollard is always talking about some one or something not being just right we give her the degree A. G.-Always Gripping. Harry Collins is continually talking and never saying anything either, so we give him the degree C. C.-Class Chatterer. Since Marybelle Keener has captured the heart of Elmer Pollard and Dutchy Evans we give her the degree N. G.-Nice Going.

It would be hard to give Lucille Ware some- thing she really wants but we thought we'd beat Johnny by giving you this diamond, Shorty. We have often wondered what Emily Jane Rowe would do if she couldn't look in a mirror every five minutes and gaze upon her beautiful golden brown locks. You can always carry this mirror with you, Emily. Because we know it will be appreciated we give Virginia Douglass this book entitled 'tWhich One to Choose? Maybe this will help you to decide between Freddie Clayton and Ray Cam- eron, Virginia. Marjorie Pollard receives this package of dates.

Now, Athelia, don't act so innocent be- cause we are going to tell by giving you this Mill, We give Delton Yager this cane, for al- though, he will never grow up, he is bound to grow old. Of course we couldn't give Charles Spargur anything more appropriate than this copy of the Cincinnati Post. Yes, as a reminder of Mona.

Gertrude Woodruff receives this book en- titled Alibis.U Some day in the future you may not have one, Gertie. We give Betty Gene Reeves this bottle of wave-set. Now you may control your hair, Betty.

Now you may become more hand- some, Price. Within the pages of this funny paper it tells all about Snuffy Smith. We hope Betty Wilkins will make good use of it, because she is really very fond of dear old Snuffy. Mary Ann Pettiford loves to dance.

We hope no one will be angry or hurt in the least, After all, you see, we're all human, not wild beasts. So without further adue we'll begin, 'fBy Heaven, To relate your activities in 1947. Imagine our surprise, while attending a prize fight the other night, to see Mr. Fred Addy and Robert Lyle engaged in a rough and tumble wrestling match. The iight was ruled a tie, that is they tied each other in knots. David Barrett, the star football player, is now charging up the front steps of every house in town.

Who do you think has settled down to a nice quiet married life? None other than Mr. Vernon Mills. He and Athelia don't fight any more.- Q Muchj . Clarence Narcross is now engaged in teach- ing high school students how to win scholar- ship tests. It seems that you know how to win them, Clarence. P. S. He also won Miss Winona Konneker. If at first you donlt succeed try, try again. That is what Tacy Harps says. It seems as though she hasnlt accomplished much in the United States, so Tacy is sailing for Europe to find a man.

The blushing bride is Miss Mona Post.-Nice going Charlie. Forest Post is just too big a subject to dis- cuss right now. But we might say that he is now the leading wise cracker of the country. You certainly got some practice in high school, Forest. William Price the boy who kept the class of '37 in an uproar for twelve years has now settled down on a farm raising chickens and pigs.

Dorothy Clay, that bashful and shy girl of the senior class is now teaching public speaking in McClain high school. Isabelle Coler, that invincible and uncon- querable red head of our Senior class is still try- ing to decide which boy to go steady with. She says that is a very delicate choice and she in- tends to take plenty of time doing it. Ten years have gone by and Johnny Clements is still as patient as ever. Esther Cook is another one of our class- mates that has crashed film land. Her latest film production was, She Stoops to Unfasten Her Shoe. Thelma Crago is still as sweet, and so phistic- ated as ever. She recently went South to see, Ulf it was true what they say about Dixie. We are proud to state that at least one mem- ber of the class of '37 made the headlines of the country's leading newspaper. Yes, Sir!
