Foreword Time and tide waits for no man, and so the Class of 1936 is now history. We have spent three pleasant years here at the Meriden High School gathering ideals and securing edu- cation that should aid us in building our future. We have striven whole-heartedly, according to our abilities, to serve our school. The Annual', is our last attempt at service, our last contribution to the school we loved so well. We of the staff, who represent our class, have worked hard, overcoming many obstacles, to give our classmates data that they may treasure for the rest of their days. Though faced by a shortage of time, we set to work improving the book. We welcomed suggestions, and criticisms, sought good advice, and studied newer styled books in our efforts to give you a better publication. We broke away from the traditional style of the past, cut the undesirable material, and incorporated new ideas into the book to achieve our aim. We trust and believe that the book will meet your approval, if it does, we will feel fully compensated for our humble efforts in your behalf. The Class of 1936, therefore, presents this book as a last tangible reminder of three years spent at the Meriden High School. It is a book that will become more valuable as the years roll by as it serves to keep alive old associates and memories.

The Red and Blue Hail! Alma Mater's colors proudly flying! Red and the Blue, we pledge to thee our love Dearer to us than crimson deep or purple, Guide of our way, as true as stars above- CHORUS Though some love the blue and grey, And others the gleam of gold, The flash of the green o'er silver and sheen Displayed when the flag unfolds, Whatever the shade may be, That keeps others brave and true, 'Tho colors are many, You'll not find that any, Compare with the Red and Blue.
