Class ie lay “Where’s Grandma” is the name of our senior class play for 1937. Helen Philip plays the leading role as “Grandma.” Grandma is a delightful old lady who wants her grandchildren’s love. Jack Worley (Bill Riedhart) and Carol Worley (Marcella Johnson) are her grand- children. Grandma tries to impress her granddaughter and grandson, Gretchen and Bob Blake (Loretta Bollan and Donald Shoudel) by her outlandish attempts to be youthful and sophisticated. Arline Truesdale (Helen Klinker), Midnight and Dahlia (Bill Beber and Mildred Van Derbosch) complete the cast. The entire cast displayed splendid dramatic ability. The play was a great success and was appreciated by everyone. [16]

The class of 1937 extends to you a most cordial greet- ing and welcomes you to this, the laying of the final mile- stone along the journey of high school. For four long years—yet speedy as we look back upon their passing—we have worked for and looked forward to these closing scenes We have longed for this hour, in our career as students. when before an appreciative company of kindred and friends, we should sway you, with our attraction, the elo- quence of our impassioned voices, and the plainly—visible importance of the class of 1937. That time, my friends, has arrived, and we stand before you with the enthusiasm of youth, the pride of the conque ror and the joy of the victor. We have fought the long-drawn- out, “Battle with Books’; we have conquered our enemies “The Exams”; we are about to receive the badge of efficient service—our diplomas. For four years our little fleet, which happens to be the Sala fafory largest fleet St. Joseph High has had, has been sailing calmly in the harbor, riding the ripples of work and pleasure, bask- ing in the sunshine of our teachers’ commendation and— occasionally in the clouds of their wrath. Today we weigh our anchors and begin that voyage into the sea of action where each one of us must steer his craft toward the goal of the future, in other words, we begin to lead. The flowers and everything around us tell us that it is June; yet to us, it is also New Year’s Day, that ushers us from the old months of school activities into the new life of broader endeavor. We thrill with appreciation of the bene- fits you, dear friends, have showered upon us through our school. True education draws out and develops all the hu- man faculties ; it wakes the heedless youth to the fact that life has a work for him to perform, and we thank you, as we wel- come you to these scenes of triumph, for enabling us to suc- cessfully complete the work of high school.
