At Amzapolis The middies as cold a Kugler and Veugeuock Both 'wereglost To the Lord Baltimore For chicken and fish Deacon Lodge Left an empty dish Then on to Ellcton The rnarryiug town 1-151: s frost A few got up ' But they sogn sat down At eight 0'clock ' Back to S. H. S. We fell into bed For a' good 11ight's rest ,And so ends the tale Of the Seniors about town This story related by Mildred Browne After several hazards and sand traps fexaininations to youj and quite 21 few strokes, we Caine to the seventh hole, the annual'Senior play,- the best ever in our opinion, but undoubtedly it was very good and very much enjoyed, showing real work on the part of the cast and staff. VVe would give orchids to Cap and Bells, but they are too expensive. Nearing the eighth and ninth holes, we weren't so sure of ourselves. As we drove into bunkers,.in the form of examinations, there was much sehlalhng and scruffing, but we came through under par and made the-final stroke to the eighth hole, the Prom, our last social event. Dressed in our finest, We danced, or tried to. i Then, with one short stroke, we reached the final hole, graduation. The game was Over, all too short 21 one for some. Many were willing to continue thie game on different links, while others went off in search of a better game. 1 23 3

Ni v,. L '- '-53 F12 HOIC Golf Course Arriving in Salem High somewhat frightened and new to the game, we were shown around the links. XVith drivers in hand and Miss Harris as Caddie, we teed off and started across the green to the first hole, the Fresh- man reception, where, we were entertained by the Sophomores i11 true Hallowe'en fashion. ' Q ' Continuing, we found the next hole longer and harder, with bunkers in the form Of'CXZJ.1'l1l1lZ1tlO1lS, but after much batting and scufling, we neared the second hole as Sophomores and sank the ball, the reception to the ,class of 1938. 'Now we attempted to entertain them as we had been entertained the year before. i Our game was about half over as we began for the fifth hole. VVe were one step behind the-goal. During the absence of our beloved Seniors, who were enjoying themselves at Vllashington, the class of 1937 held a Junior Day event. The Juniors witnessed the play Showboat , starring the three comedians Wlayne Sheppard, Geraldine Mifflin, and Vllilliam 'Tomlinson Their humourous jokes and acting afforded a considerable amount of enter- tainment. Before completing the play, two strokes followed. The first was an unfortunate one. Here our class adviser for 1937, Miss Harris, took a permanent leave of absence from Salem High. But we were again display- ing our excellent golf as our new class adviser, Miss Muller, gladly accepted the duties and responsibility of this work. Miss Muller has shown much interest and has most faithfully helped us achieve our final score. The sixth hole was the annual Junior play by Cap and Bells. Wit'l1 the last stroke, we gave the Seniors a grand farewell in the form of a prom. Seniors ourselves now, we strutted out on the links to resume the game. No foozling now, no missing the globe, and we sank the ball intothat long- awaited hole, the Wlashington trip, the one occasion when Seniors can act as senseless as possible and not be criticised, NVe ,went through many public buildings, of course, but that wasn't what we went for. . We went to have a good time, and every one did. ' One day in September I'll never forget We left on our trip ' Education to get Down in Virginia l To Washington's home In all the rain , O'er that huge place we roamed On that spacious lawn . Our pictures were taken We looked quite forlorn And quite forsaken s Then to the library With the teachers we went In those beautiful rooms One hour we spent We piled in the buses Back to the hotel To dress for the dance We raced pell-niell . Ana' then for the wedding Of Thelma and Bill When asked 'they repeated, l will, I will p A To the bureau of printing A nd engraving we went Then we walked over To the monument From a tiny window Way up in the sky We saw Mr. Shoemaker Who looked like a fly 22 To the building of science We Seniors did go To push all' the buttons And make things go To the Pan-American Union And the D.A.R. The great Cathedral On a hill so far At the Presidents home The stately White House We. stared wide-eyed Quiet .as a mouse To the Great Ziegfeldl' The show was a'wow The stars Myrna 1.012 And William Powell Henry Bndowsky In' an awful fix R His pork chop and cigar Did not mix He appeared in the doorway At half past eight Who?
