The class organized with Wilma Barr as president, Betty Eckels, secretaryg ,lack Shaffer, treasurer. These officers with their committees successfully handled the activities of the year, including two social events. The study hall was beautifully decorated with balloons for the first party-even the Seniors admitted it was one of the finest socials of the year. For the second party, the study hall was decorated in St. Patrickis green and white. The Irish and all others had one grand time! Except for these socials, our Junior year was quite uneventful. Time passed and the end of the year came bringing with it the final exams. We were looking forward to the last milestone on the road of high school learning. Thus we left for another vacation. 1933--19341 At last our time of dictatorship arrived. We were nearing our goal . . . GRADUA- TION. One of the most outstanding happenings during the year was the NRA parade. All the high school students participated, making up a small section of the 25,000 people who took part in the demonstration which lasted four hours. We were in the best of spirits when the parade started. By the time it reached Eleventh avenue, our steps were lagging and we were tired. When the end finally came, we were footsore and weary but, at least, we had done our partf' Concerning the football season, little can be said, the boys had hard luck and lost the championship. However, we stood behind our team, whether it won or whether it lost. The first business meeting of the Senior class was held in the auditorium on October 4. Candidates for offices were introduced and plans were made for the Senior election, which took place a few weeks later. An able staff of leaders, who have brought us successfully through the year, was chosen. The socials were entertaining and enjoyable. All too quickly, May came with the final exams, then June, with a banquet at the Jaffa Mosque and . . . graduation. The year is over, the goal toward which we traveled for twelve years has been reached. We remember part of Mr. Gilbert's welcome to us when we entered high school: 'cThe Altoona High School of 1934 will be what you will have made itf' We have done our best. It is so much easier to look back over what has been than to look ahead to what is to be. The world in which we live is not prosperous or settled. Some must face adversity, this should not be made an excuse to shirk responsibility. As you strive toward your goal, remember the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes: To reach the port of Heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it-but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor?
