History We, the Class of 1937, began our high school career in September, 1933 determined to shatter all records, both in studies and in money for the VVashington Trip. After the Freshman Class was organized, Mrs. Adler was chosen class advisor. The mothers formed a club, selecting Mrs. Hollister as President and Mrs. Jenks as Treasurer. The money which they collected was added to our meager fund raised by a series of candy sales, bake sales, and card parties. We want to express our sincere appreciation for their kind assistance. Our Sophomore year, with Mrs. Adler again acting as class advisor, differed very little from the preceding one. At the beginning of the Junior year, Mr. Clowe, the new commercial teacher, was chosen for the honorary position of class advisor. The Junior Prom, the important event of this year, was looked forward to with great expectations by everyone. Music was furnished by Benny Kruger. At last, our Senior year dawned bright and clear. Everyone returned to work with only one aim-graduation. The first social event of the year was the Thanksgiving Ball with music by Gene North. Because everyone enjoyed his music, he was again invited to play at the St. Patrick's Dance. Then came a lull in social activities until the Easter Ball in March. At this dance, music was furnished by Jerry Gerard. After the advent of the motion picture machine, we had our share of the profits from the exceptionally good movies that were sponsored. Now, as everyone is preparing for regents and the final triumph of graduation, we must pause to think back over these joyous years with regret that the time has come when we must part. -Esther Davis '37 Prophesy On graduation day in June, 1937, the Senior Class agreed to hold a reunion at the Hotel Baron Steuben twenty years later. For some unknown reason, they chose me as commentator, therefore, I will attempt to give the many thousands of interested people who were not eligible to attend this banquet some idea of whatphas happened to each member of the class. First of all, I will describe the tables. They are arranged in a circle the center of which is banked with flowers. At each place on the table is one of those new specie of orchids developed by that famous horticulturist, Delbert Mosher. Directly across the table from me sits Clarence Wingate, noted financier whose bank does business 011 an international scale to compare with that of the ancient House of Rothchild. Next to him sits llelen Cuiniskey, famous screen star. Robert Chamberlin is another one of our group to find success on the screen. He is the latest matinee idol. Raymond Manning, that spirited young Republican, has been rewarded for his patriotism by being elected President. Hc was opposed by the THE POSTER, 1937 25 l l
