There were many times when we felt that the time for the Graduation exercises would never arrive but now that it has we are somewhat sorrowful. We feel, however, that we make our exit with the knowledge that the Class of '37 has contributed a worthy and honorable record to our dear Alma Mater. On September 1, 1933, a group of eager and somewhat bewildered girls and boys entered the portals of the Metropolis Community High School. The name Freshman was automatically bestowed upon us, and a glance at the records will reveal that we bore the name with honor. We elected Ralph Chase as our Presidentg Madge Cummins, Vice President, and Sherman Gillespie Secretary and Treasurer. Our Freshman year was characterized by many important events, notably, the winning of the Inter-class Basketball tournament and the Freshman Carnival. The Carnival was our first attempt at sponsoring anything and the result was most gratifying. as it was a complete success and also served notice to the rest of the school that there was a Freshman class and that they were not as dumb as was Hrst thought. As the year progressed we stepped forth from the background and many of our names were seen among various school activities. Thus we pass on to the higher step held by Sophomores. Charles Hopson led the class as Presidentg Ralph Case, Vice-President, Dorothy Daly, Secretary, Russell Harper, Treasurer. As Sophomores we continued to uphold our record made as Freshman. Several athletes were uncovered this year: Russell Harper, Clifford Faughn, Leonard Trampe, Val Taylor, Curtis Haley, Charles Hopson, and Ralph Chase, all seeing service in football and basketball games. We furnished Wava Lambert, Paul Waters, Dorothy Daly, Pauline Teckenbrock, and Henry Hedden, as leading characters in the annual Operetta. We were also very prominent in other organizations and activities of the school. The outstanding social event of the year was the Sophomore party which was enjoyed by all who attended. This occasion was carried out by a number .of original ideas which showed the intellectual power of our class. Much of the success of the class of '37 during these first two years is due to the untiring efforts of our Sponsor, Miss Ora Rush. Our Junior year brought forth the thing which we had long wished for- to be upper-classmen. We assumed the honor with great dignity and then proceeded to show the rest of the school that the name, upper-classmen was not misplaced. We held our annual election of class ofticers and the following were chosen: Clifford CContinued on Page 225 Page 21 1937 Senior Class Hisiorq CContinued from Page 215 I Faughn, President, Margaret Beane, Vice Presidentg Omer De Jarnett, Secretaryg and Roberta Dollar, Treasurer. During our first two years in High School the path had appeared long and rugged, for we saw only the dark side of our obstacles. Now as we were nearing the top our way seemed much lighter and with this encourage- ment we determined to make our last years even lighter. Under the leadership of Miss Wicecarver, we ably demonstrated our dramatic ability in the production of our Junior Play, New Fires. This play was a complete success and proved to be one of the high-lights of the year. We were again well represented in both basket- ball and football. The various school organizations depended upon us as we formed the backbone of many of them. The crowning success of the year was the Junior- Senior Banquet. This reception was recognized by many as the best ever sponsored by a Junior class. Several new novelties and the Nautical ideas were carried out and made this banquet a success. Our Junior year ended by making us aware of the fact we were one step nearer our goal. Our Senior year, the year of 1936-37, to which we had looked forward for three happy years, opened promisingly for us. Henry Hedden was elected Presidentg Wilnona Dieckman, Vice Presidentg Ruth Moller, Secretaryg and George Leonard, Treasurer. The most important duty of all seniors is to set an example for the new students, this we succeeded in doing to the satisfaction of everyone, including the faculty. We reached our peak in the organizations as we were well represented in practically all of them. Our football and basketball teams enjoyed the best season that any M. C. H. S. team has had in the last ten years. The scholastic standing of the entire Senior Class was consider- ably higher than usual, due to our efforts in setting a good example. The dramatic ability of our classg which had never been questioned was boosted even more by the exibitions of various Seniors in the Operetta and in the Senior Play. Huckleberry Finnl' which was the Senior play, was a dramitization of Mark Twain's immortal book. It was a success from both dramatic and financial standpoints. The Junior-Senior Banquet, at which we were the guests of the Juniors, was indeed a gala affair. With a touch of sadness we watched the dates set for the Baccalaureate and Commencement creep upon us. The moment which we had been waiting for finally arrived with sadness in the hearts of all Seniors, but all good things must come to an end and so endhour High School days. 1937 ILLOHMET Page 22 Last lDill and Testament We. the class of 1937 of Metropolis Community High School, in the County of Massac and the State of Illinois, being blessed with a reasonable degree of intel- ligence and a desire to aid everybody do hereby create, ordain and sanction this, our last will and testament.

It provides an organization with beautiful ceremonial, through which the girls may carry on many activities, express their loyalty to the school, and exchange ideas in small dis- cussion groups on topics of interest to them. The aims of the Hi-Tri League are: Character, Friendship, Courtesy, Pleasure, and Success. The general aims of this organization are to create group consciousness and loyalty to learn and use parli- mcntaiy procedure, to give each pupil some opportunity for definite leadership and responsibility in conducting the group, to provide opportunity for exchange of ideas as distinguished from arbitarily forcing any certain person's ideas, to provide opportunity for practice in conversation and open discussion. During the course of the year the Hi-Tri of our school has sponsored various benetit shows, and a magician show given by Huntington the Magician. We have raised enough money to buy new satin robes for the Hi-Tri ccremonials. On March 27, an Easter Egg hunt was given for all the small children of the city. This was an outstanding event. Delegates were sent to both the Older Girls Conference at Maiion and the Spring Meeting at Mt. Vernon. A Mother-Daughter Banquet was held on May 27 for the mothers of the Hi-Tri girls and also for the alumni girls of last year who were charter members. This event closed the year, which was very successful. laqr il 1.937 f BACHELORS CLUB MEMBERS: Billie Renehan, Robert Watson, Val Taylor, Kenneth Wilcox, John Wm.

It was presented by our school on the evening of April 8, 1937. Bob Kent, a young inventor backed by Mr. Norton, President of Quadrangle , Pictures, has perfected t'Vericolor, a new color process for the movies. To the surprise of all, the test is a Hat failure, due to tampering with thfe equipment by those who want him to fail. Norton gives Bob a week to get out of the studios but Bob, with the help of his song-writer pal, Windy Bryan, and Marcia Norton, films his ,own show, Fanfare, in Vericolor. Despite all difficulties some quick thinking demonstrates the success of Vericolor. Wun Hop and Hi De Ho, Chinese detectives disclose the identity of the Malefactors of Bob, and all ends well.

All of Huckleberry's boyish pranks as well as his struggle to aid his dear aunt Polly and Aunt Ruth are portrayed. The play of Huckleberry Finn which was presented by the Senior Class proved to be an extra highlight on the horizon of this year's activities. Much of the playls success is due to Miss Munal who was a very capable director. . 1937 ILLOHMET Page 42 SECOND ROW: Dale Baker, Charles Gross, Mary B.

Parmley Pauline Crawford ------Dale Baker --Frances Bremer - - - -Bettylee Brown The Brat, presented by the class of 1938, is a tragic drama, as well as a hilarious comedy. The social climbing Mrs. Forrester is overly fond of her novel writing son, Mac Millan, but when he brings home a child of the slums as an inspiration for his latest story she is faced with a great difficulty. Her difficulties increase when Steve, the black sheep of the family, falls madly in love with The Brat. Primarily, the source of Mrs. Forrester's worry has been infatuated with the dignified novel writer, but she soon over comes this and returns Steve's love with equal passion. In the conclusion Mac Millan, much to the disgust of the spinster admirer, becomes engaged to a scheming young sophisticate, and Steve, announces his engagement to The Brat. The play proved to be a great success, which was due, principally, to the capable direction of Miss Ora Rush.

FlOCCl'll, Adviser l Under the guidance of our faculty adviser, Mr. Fiocchi, the staff has tried to give the students the best service possible both in a bi-monthly paper and a yearbook, We believe that we have succeeded in a measure to accomplish our aim. The task of publishing a school paper every two weeks whether news is scarce or plentiful, and getting it out on time when other school activities are continually demanding time and attention, is by no means an easy one. Our paper, The lllohmetf' has made many impr.ovements during the past year such as, for the First time colored sections were included in the paper, a twelve-page issue was offered at Christmas, many special ten-page editions were published, the legibility and set-up of the paper were excellent. Our yearbook, also the lllohmet, has many new features, and we believe that it is one of the best issues of the school. 1937 I u.Lo1-1MET Page 44 0 S , S I1 IT1 S Sf' Q N 'K f A 44 A A A M A A 9 A A A A A A A A A A A Q' I H I I M.

In the eyes of both the spectators and the Metropolis Coaches, also with the Trojans good record, this football season seems to have been the most satisfactory for several years. The Trojans played seven gamesand came out of five of them with flying colors. During the entire season the Trojans held their opponents to 39 points while they chalked up 182 pdints.

The drive, determin- ation, and grit of the boys made them one of the strongest quintets to ever play on the M. C. H. S. floor for Metropolis. Although they were handicapped by being one of the smallest teams in this section they made up for it by being one of the fastest teams. The disastrous flood caused the elimination of the County Tournament and several of the scheduled games. During the season the Trojans played twelve games and werevictorious in ten of them. They also won the Regional Tournament after a hard fought battle with Golconda.
