JUNIOR BOYS we felt very important as we occupied the front seats in chapel during Junior Assembly. We had to make a very important decision that year, namely what our ambitions were and what we wanted to do or be when our high school education is finished. It was necessary to know this in order to take the proper course of high school training. We made these decisions as wisely as possible with the aid of our teachers and parents. In '34 we assumed what seemed a more or less sophisticated role to us. We became Sophomores. This year, like those before, brought a change in subjects. How can we ever forget the dread and fear of going to Geometry class? Juniors!--How much more important this name seems than any of the preceding ones. The Junior, Senior Prom was the big social event of the year. In fact it was our first social event because, due to the lack of funds in other years, we had never had a party. It might be well worth mentioning that the students of the Junior Class have always been active and well represented in the activities of the school including football, basket-ball, track, music, art, debating, dramatics, and journalism. Now, as we leave our Junior year behind, we look forward to next year when we shall be Seniors and far more distinguished and important than ever before. - Page Thirty-Eve

M iss Swanson and Mr. Stoudnour N the fall of '31, we the class of '37, entered Hollidaysburg High School as seventh graders. We Went to school the first day with the feeling that we were very important, but when we got a sample of the life of a seventh grader we changed our minds and wished we were back from where we came. We were seen entering the wrong classroom, going against traflic, and doing other things which made us appear quite 'Gdumbv to the upper classmen. It Wasn't long, however, until we became accustomed to the rules and regulations of the school. Next year as eighth graders we were able to look down upon the little seventh graders as We had been looked upon the previous year. Nothing much happened this year except the addition of some new subjects such as Junior Business Training and Civics kept us more busy than before. 6'Green Freshiesn-That is the name we assumed when We became Freshmen and really started our high school career.
