Immediately following intermission, balloons iioated into outstretched hands from above. Sparkling with animation, the dancers blew horns, whirled noisemakers, and threw streamers and confetti- swirls, laughter, fun-at the peak of the excitement the clock struck twelve and the Hop was over. 1:22a

To some of us graduating means the end of four years of friendships and happiness, to a few of us it means the end of four years of study and work, but to all of us it means leaving good old Peoria High School where a bit of affection must always linger in all our hearts. We have been swinging along together for four years now. We have hit off many a good time together. We have tried to work in harmony with each other and with our school. We have followed the baton of the past, but we have also struck out boldly for ourselves and created our own new melodies. Always forward is the stride of the Class of '37. We swing into the new and the unknown, but with confidence in the Spirit of Youth. We've tooted our own horn with success we think. In music, the small ensembles are composed of seniors, the best voices in school. Among the band soloists, two are seniors. In dramatics, seniors carried many of the roles in the Jusendra production. Our own class play this year was greeted with loud applause. Joe Morgan, Jeanne McCalip, Dorothy Easton, Betsy Hunter and Jeanne Swann brought honor to our class by being elected to Dramatic Honor Society. Also in the Jusendra Play, I'll Leave It To You , Charles Gamble, received the same honor. Our speech team has so far this year brought great honor to us. Jeanne Swann and Don Wollett were the greatest of all our Senior Stars. Jeanne cap- tured many lirsts in the District and Don captured the very great honor of taking first in the State Division of the National Forensic League. Now we are swinging together for our final effort. We are individual swing- ers now and our paths will be straight or crooked as we may choose. In our white hite trousers and dark coats we will swing down the athletic field for the last time on Commencement Day. The Hall of Fame is waiting with dresses and w open arms to receive many of us. 2 4:
