Class Song
Now our class is parting, Onward we must press; We will miss our classmates Who leave A. H. S. Tho our lives be weary, We will never rest. Remember, as in school days, Do always your best.
Now if you Take your share of trouble, As you sometimes may- Think of Thirty-seven, And gloom will stray. Remember our class motto ---- As our lives begin, Those who are successful Will "Work, Wait, and Win."
-Russell Willard Peck.

This gives us 76 new plats in the city.
Number of Transfers of Property handled during the year by the Assessing Department 698
Our Personal Property Valuation decreased in 1937 on Machinery, due to Section 8 of Chapter 58 of General Laws which exempted machinery of certain Corporations which was used in manufacture. This affected 57 firms in this city having a valuation of $1,668,115.00, making a loss in our valuation. However, the State reimbursed the City by cash to the amount of $56,857.80 for the tax on the above valuation.
Our number of Polls in 1937 decreased by 486, due to the new law, Section 1 Chapter 202, exempting all those males 70 years old and older from the payment of a poll tax.
Respectfully submitted, January 19. 1938.

ANNUAL KEPORT
History of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital
By a generous clause in the will of Mrs. Ellen A. Winsor, the homestead estate of her father, the late James H. Sturdy, was bequeathed to the Town of Attleborough to be used for a general hospital, in memory of James H. and Adah S. Sturdy. In addition to this gracious act, Mrs. Winsor placed her residuary estate in a permanent fund, to be known as the Albert W. and Ellen A. Winsor Fund, to be held in trust, the income only thereof to be used to assist in the maintenance of said hospital. The original gift of real estate known as the Sturdy Foundation, is valued at $30,000 and the personal property left by Mr. and Mrs. Winsor, known as the Winsor Foundation, is valued at $93,000.00.
The location for such an institution was ideal, but to prepare the property for modern hospital work required the expenditure of a larger sum of money than the town officials felt warranted at this time in asking the citizens to ap- propriate. At this crisis the Attleborough Hospital, a corporation organized under the Massachusetts laws, came forward and offered to take the property in trust, reconstruct the home house, build new additions, erect in connection therewith a modern operating wing, equip the whole plant, and open the institu- tion as a general hospital to be known as the Sturdy Memorial Hospital.
The Town of Attleborough at a special meeting held May 14, 1912, accepted the offer of the Attleborough Hospital, and in due time placed the property in question in trust with said corporation.
The work of reconstruction and new building was commenced in July, 1912, and on April 14, 1913, after an expenditure of something over $30,000, the hospital was opened.
