For many thousands of years, up to the advent of steam, the rate of progress was so slow as to be barely perceptible as between one century and the next. During a little more than the last half-century, man's environ- ment has been changed more, the material development of the United States, in particular, and much of the world, has been greater than was experienced by our ancestors in all preceding historic time. This wonderful material development is the result of the multi- plication of human effort by the utilization of energy resources, and the easy transportation of men and goods from place to place. With these facts in mind, we, the Class of 1937, have endeavored, in this volume of the Blue and Gold, to enclose and leave with the ages a tangible memory of the progress in our education con- trasted with the progress made in transportation.

in XXX! l u my mv TO THE CITIZENS O THE CITIZENS of Schuylkill Haven, the Class of 1937 wishes to make it known that we fully appreciate their interest in us. The numerous ways in which the townspeople have been of benefit to us will always be remembered. Our various activities have become outstanding largely through their support. Therefore, we, as a class, desire to take this means of expressing our high esteem of these, our friends. We have had their loyal backing in such activities as athletic games, class plays, and Parent-Teachers' Association festivals, and their generosity has been evidenced in helping to make each edition of the l'Blue and Gold a success. The faithful attendance at the sessions of the Parent-Teachers' Association shows their coopera- tion with the teachers and their interest in the work of the students. Our athletic teams have been particularly encouraged by the local enthusiastic spectators who are always boosters, whether in glori- ous victory or humiliating defeat. They have given whole-hearted response in the voting for an addition to the high school building. Although we, as Seniors, may never be able to participate in any of the school work or activities carried on under the advantages of this annex, neverthe- less we are glad that it has been our lot to witness its erection. We are proud of our citizens in that they have seen fit to award this to the furthering of the cause of education in our Alma Mater. As a class we shall look forward with a great deal of interest to the progress made by future students under the advantages of this addition. We, therefore, highly value the hearty way in which, through these varied means, the citizens of our community have helped to share our pride in our school and aided in sustaining the high standards of the curriculum in the Junior and Senior High School. We sincerely hope that this page will at least partially convey our appreciation, and, in a small way, will compensate for the debt of gratitude we owe to them.
