GToreword There are many ways to look upon the coming years—thoughtfully, thoughtlessly, gaily, sadly, depending on what you hope those years to be and what you expect them to be. As this city of Perth Amboy, in which we dwell, has grown and flourished, so has our Class of 1937. The years past have brought us disappointments, it is true, but without these we could not appreciate the gladness of our stay in high school. And without the years in high school, we could not appreciate what may be in store for us. Looking at the definite progress our city has made, we can realize, also that we have not been idle. The last four years have seen us grow and mature, not only physically, but mentally. Some people say that once a community gets its bearings, its start, and its leaders, if these have been earnestly, honestly acquired, good fortune will favor its every venture. Can we but believe this? It has been proved again and again. With this as a basis for each attempt to expand and conquer, it is almost impossible to fail. Too. it often has been said that once a child has entered high school, he ceases to be a child. There, if he is honorable and conscientious, he is assured of high scholarship. And what is this but the ability to study, to think things through, to be able to draw accurate and intelligent conclusions. Therefore, it seems that both the city and the one who is no longer a child certainly are destined for higher and better things. But there is one absolutely essential detail which we have omitted; something which is important in attaining the desired goal as health is to happiness. It is the aggressive zest, the sparkling dash, the push”, without which a person is an empty frame, a vacant personality. In Perth Amboy we feel we have reached the state of being an independent and advancing unit. We are whole-heartedly proud of the fact that we are constantly growing: improving old conditions, building new foundations, and continually striving to do that which is best for business and for the general welfare. And so, as we students of Perth Amboy High School leave its instruction and care, we do not set out unprepared. Beside school studies, we have learned to lead with our right foot. We have gleaned the knowledge that to remain in one place is to go backward. Thus we must always look ahead and never stand still. In this way, with these ideals, we can watch Perth Amboy grow, and say, I, too. am progressing, and I, too, will be successful.”
