CLASS HISTORY I The extracurricular program of Upper Merion offers an opportunity for all students to par- ticipate in activities outside the classroom. As Sophomores, we realized and appreciated this opportunity and became active in all the school organizations. Four of our members had leads in the operetta, Bon Voyage and two in the annual play, Smanthy . Several of our classmates have been members of the band and orchestra since they were students in the Junior High School. Placing the varsity athletic teams as their aim, many Sophomores became members of the hockey, basketball, football, tennis, wrestling, rifle and baseball squads. June came and we left for the summer vacation, no longer Sophs but Juniors. ln the role of Jolly Juniors our interest in social activities increased. We gave a. Hallowe'en Dance and it was a decided success. Again the members of our class took part in the dramatic life of our school. Six 'had principal parts in the annual play, Seven Keys to Baldpate , two had leading roles in the operetta Pickles , and we were also represented. by leads in the Christmas Pflay. We had classmates on both the varsity and iunior varsity teams of all the sports. ln addition to these activities, one of our members was chosen to lead the band. The outstanding social event of the year, the Junior Prom, took place in May. The theme of the picturesque decorations was centered around a Southern Plantation. Our senior year was our third and most enjoyable of all. We immediately organized as a class and elected officers who were to guide us through this, our last year at Upper Merion. Choosing the name Spartans to'represent Upper Merion, participating in all sports, sponsoring a Hallowe'en and a Subscription dance, and organizing the Student Safety Society and Student Council are examples of the varied activities of our class during its senior year. The annual play and the operetta were given with nine seniors portraying leading roles. The senior play was performed on two successive nights with two casts. The Class of i937 leaves Upper Merion with mingled emotions, enthusiasm and regret: enthusiasm to enter a newer and more complicated field of work, regret to feel that we must leave the school where we spent many happy years and were provided with a founda- tion for our future life.
