Senior Class History NCE more a class of Seniors must depart from Altoona High School. It seems strange that it is we, ourselves, who make up that class. The years that weive studied together have passed much too quickly. Now we part, each to go his own way. Whatever the future may bring, may every graduate of the Class of 1934- cherish pleasant memories of high school days. With these thoughts in mind, we record a brief history of our three years together. 1931-1932 The Class of ,34 had its beginning in September, 1931, when we entered Altoona High School as Sophomores, some of us from Roosevelt, others from Keith-a group of 1,350. To outsiders our entrance was an ordinary event, but to us it was a supreme moment. We were high school students! However, this superior feeling soon van- ished under the strict rules of upperclassmen and the faculty. Still, we enjoyed more privileges in Senior High than had been granted in Junior High. After a few diffi- cult days, we settled down to our scheduled routine and worked with a zeal which won the respect of upperclassmen as well as that of the faculty. A small part of our class made up the Carnegie group of students whose aim it was to strive for high scholarship. During the Sophomore year, the group took several interesting trips, including one to State Farm Show at Harrisburg. During an excellent athletic season, Altoona cheered for a real football team that walked off with the championship of the Western Pennsylvania District. The basketball team won eight out of fourteen games played. The track team broke former records and won seven first places. The time soon came for a class election which made Bob Hite the president. The biggest event of the year, for us, was the Sophomore social, held on February 28, 1932. Such a big party was quite thrilling to us, who were just youngsterslv Following this one social activity, our initial year passed rapidly and we waited impatiently for the time when we would no longer be the Hlowestn class. Final 'iexamsi' came, then a well-earned vacation. The Seniors paid their tribute to us through the words of ,lean Shaner: 66 ' 9 T hrs years Sophomore class was a swell one and the green didnit stick on them very longf' 1932-1933 After a pleasant vacation, we once more turned our thoughts toward the spacious hall of learning. We were now Juniors, enthusiastic and ready for work. We took advantage of all situations in which we dealt with Sophomores. Perhaps we were a bit supercilious, but wasn't it our privilege? Hadnit we been treated with scorn by other classes? However, the Sophomores probably enjoyed the fun UD as much as we did. The Carnegie Foundation group continued its work. During football season, we again saw a mighty team play. Once again our team won the championship of the Western Pennsylvania District. Twenty
