FOREWORD In presenting our 1937 Meta it is the hope of the editors that our Year Book will serve in future years as a mirror, reflecting the social, athletic, and academic activities of the members of our class of 1937. That this mirror may help us to recollect happily and clearly is our earnest desire. It will, we hope, reflect those intangible yet powerful factors which contribute to the congenial and systematic development during the school life of each and every student. It will, we hope, picture the inspiring personalities of the teachers as they unfalteringly guide young minds along the pathway of intellectual and moral progress. It will portray, we hope, the wholesome spirit of the institution dedicated to the enrichment of youth, preparing and inspiring them to pass through the portal of graduation into broader and more diversified activities ever reminding them that, “There is no standing still: Even as I pause, The steep path shifts, and I slip back apace. No idling in the pathway hard and slow: I must go forward, or must backward go.” Last, but not least, we hope it will produce in each of us, her students, a deep love for an abiding loyalty to our Alma Mater. We are conscious that our skill is unequal to the task of constructing such a mirror. We complete this book, however, satisfied that it contains our best efforts. May this, the fifteenth issue of the Meta, serve well its purpose in recalling to the minds of the members of ’37 the pleasurable occasions, friendly faces and profitable years of high school.
