Clinton came into our midst late but was received with open arms by his classmates. His likeable appearance and manners make him friends easily. Clinton loves boxing, the man's game. He has traveled extensively through the States and attended four schools during his high school career. His physical strength, mental capacity and genial disposition make him an ideal character. EUGENE WILLIAM I-IERSHEY Most of us picture those of the scientific world as being dull, droll, and dreary. But Eugene Hershey, our scientific wizard, is a gallant exception to the rule. He has a per- sonality which reminds one of the' proverbial after-dinner speaker: jovial, good-natured, and laughing always. So, good luck, Eugene, in your chosen field. VIRGINIA LEE GABRIEL Such a sweetness of nature as Virginia possesses is rarely found. Her winning smile has made many friends for her. Her charm, grace, and poise are admired by all. She is of a very simple nature, yet her simplicity accents her dignity. Virginia is planning on furthering her edu- cation in commercial Work. VICTOR F. TI-IORPE Vic is another of our class who is a little man with high ideals. He has a sparkling way about him that is hard to excel. I-Ie is an active participant in athletics and class affairs. Our efficient treasurer and an all-around regular fellow. His ambition centers in Agricultural En- gineering and we predict that his inexhaustible energy will bring for him its coveted reward in after years. WESLEY IACKSON The graduating class of 1937 reserves this space for Wesley Iackson, a member of our class who was unable to continue his studies with his fellow classmates. We miss not only his companionship but also his musical ability, but trust that in due time he may be permitted to resume his scholastic training. -Virginia Gabriel Page 24

FORWARD INTO BATTLE Seek Careers in Different Fields The channels of industry and livelihood which we follow are varied and numerous. Indeed, they must be, for each individual requires a different course. God has so planned land with greatest wisdom, tool the human race that no two people are alike, neither in physical characteristics nor in those endowments of mind through which each of us is fitted for a purpose. God has given each of us a special work to do. lt is our duty to mankind to enlarge our talents and to devote our lives to the betterment of the world in which we live. This duty, we, the Senior class of nineteen hundred and thirty seven, have endeavored to keep foremost in our minds. This duty we have more keenly realized as we prepare to take our place in our own particular realm, as have the classes who preceded us. Few there are among us who will attain those heights of which we dream. They are only a part of our fancy, but still, are vital factors in maintaining good morals and worthy ambitions. Yet it is far better to live a good life, a beautiful life, and a wholesome life. Our careers are ahead of us, yet school life for many will be over when we receive the diploma of our achievement. Therefore, let us glance back- ward for a moment over that part of the road which we thus far have trav- elled. Surely we are but started on a long and vigorous journey. The start- ing point in our learning is almost as obscure as the path stretching onward into the future. Little else of anything which pertains to the growth of our ideals and ambition can be found except those which we fostered during our school days. Through eight years of primary and elementary training, and through four years of high school we have cultivated our hopes and desires. Talents have been displayed in numerous fields, on the football field, on the basketball floor, in dramatics, of which we took part in our Iunior year when we successfully presented Penrod and Sam. This year we are looking proudly forward to the publication of our Annual and to the Senior play. Lastly, and with many a heartache, we are about to experience something new in life-the time when we must leave our happy school days and face the prospect of realizing the dreams we have cherished for so long. lt will not be an easy task. Indeed some will perhaps fail. Yet the education of which we have been offered a generous portion, will, we hope, keep each and everyone of us, from wandering from our true course.-Martha Stickney Page 23

Her loftiness and gracefulness are suggestive of a queen promenading before her admirers. Her pleasantness and all-around good humor has carved a deep niche in the hearts of all her admirers and friends. WILLIAM KIMBLE BABNHART Studious and energetic describes him in full. He is a leader in several of his studies and attributes it to his not being lazy. His sports are baseball and hockey. For a vocation he has chosen radio, a field very interesting to the inquiring mind. He firmly believes that the only way to find happiness is to succeed in a worth-while vocation. NOBMA BABTLEY Coming to us from Decatur, in one short year Norma has endeared herself to her classmates and has proved her ability to gracefully adapt herself to changing conditions. Shes peppy, she's willing, and she's competent-a person- ality which has added a charm and color to our class, which is infinitely worth her short stay with us. ALICE L. BAUER Alice has characteristics which make her singularly dif- ferent from others. Nothing seems to upset her and her mien and general outlook make her singularly majestic. To further boost her personality, she possesses the admirable trait of sincerity. With such a make-up she will always continue to hold her popularity. ROBERT L. BEACH Fleet as an arrow and possessing a world of endurance is the phrase which best describes him physically. Mentally he rates with the best of them in practically every field. Bobbie is a quiet individual nine-tenths of the time but like all of us he has his changeable moods. Where most of us would speak a dozen or more words, one or two at the most suffice for him. ln the field of sport Bobs best efforts go toward distance running, football, and golf. He carries his endurance onto the ice also, for he loves the game of ice- hockey. THUBLOW l. BEEK The ability of self control and a sympathetic under- standing are embodied in Thurlow's characteristics. He has made it a habit to practice the habits which will give him a fine foundation for manhood. Through a period of many years he has become acquainted with music and musical instruments, With a calm presence of mind he remains in- dependent of all worldy cares. Page 25
