Senior Class Hislorq As we, the Class of '37 near the end of our High School days, we look upon the joys, the sorrows, and the value of school life. 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
