OFFICE OE THE PRINCIPAL GREAT NECK HIGH SCHOOL GREAT NECIS, NEW YORK May 7, 1957 To the members of the Class of 1937: In an address on The American Scholar Today' ' William Allan Neilson, President of Smith College, said, It was a great scientist, Louis Pasteur, who defined democracy as that form of organization that leaves every man free to do his best for the welfare of society. ' ' If you have become imbued with that ideal of democracy and go forth from the narrow fields of service in high school to those larger achievements of service in college or adult life, your attainment of gradua- tion will be most significant. And, believing you have such ideals, I congratulate you. You have done much for your school through developing your- selves by serving your school community in countless ways. We shall miss you, but shall always welcome you back and follow you with admiration, with most earnest wishes for success and satisfaction, in all you do, and with an eager desire to serve you as you serve society. Sincerely, 5 S 21 . - . , , ' A I- . .. M ' W . ' n -, 'l '- ---f--,' .t- -v -V - - . ....,, Q sf.. .,L.,.-,. .. - - - ., .. .. n-vu-.- x,

1937 HE Class of 1937 had barely grasped the fact that they were Seniors, when the first meetings of the Fall term was called. There was an awesome orderliness about D . . the meeting. After all, not everybody is a Senior! We came out of the fog in time to elect really good officers. Sterling Ivison was elected President of the class, Edward Christensen, Vice-President, and Rita Benson, Secretary-Treasurer. At subsequent meetings we decided to levy a tax of ten cents a week toward the Prom and other Commencement festivities which seemed so distant. Prosperity is evident- ly here again, for the dues have been paid with startling promptness. QPerhaps previous classes would say we just haven't any fighting spirit. Sour grapeslj Naturally, the class voted to have an Arista. A committee of faculty and class officers selected Clara Cohen as Editor, Robert Fitch, Business Manager, Dorothy Hed- ner, Assistant Business Manager, and Timothy Reed, Advertising Manager. The Editors went to work and chose a staff, and, with the cooperation of the class, succeeded in publishing the volume which is now in your hands. Of course, the Class of 1937, like all its predecessors, is exceedingly distinguished. Among our number are artists, musicians, writers, and athletes, not to mention humor- ists. At present writing, it looks as if most of those who were Seniors in September are still Seniors. We are all fine, thank you. ' A Banquet and Dance are planned for the evening of Saturday, june 12. A commit- tee of students is planning scrumptious food, wonderful decorations-fthe Prom will be held in the Gymj -and smooth music. ' On june 21, Commencement will be held in the Auditorium. Already the suspense is growing. . We are eager to know which of us are to be honored with membership in ihe National Honor Society, with scholarships, and other honors. The girls are already ussing about their white gowns, the boys about their blue-and-white Hannels. Yet we do feel rather sad, as the fleeting hours remind us that our high school days are so neafll' QVCI- We are all going to be Freshmen all over again-some of us in colleges, others in the world of working and earning, where it so very hard to be a'EreShm2lI1- We re -going to come back to school time and again, to gee Old friends, to renew old memoflei and to greet everybody with all sorts of good news.
