at Work Yes that ' s the way the Romans lived. “Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres,’’ Miss Bell explains to her sophomore Latin class. “All Gaul is divided into three parts.” Dainty Miss Bell almost turns Caesar and his Gallic wars into a present-day novel, so interesting does she make Latin. Mr. Tritt says that purchases go on the debit side of the ledger—or is it the credit side? Genial, always ready to help, he will spend an hour, if necessary, to clarify a point in a student’s mind. Miss Lucker took Miss Border’s place as teacher of typing and shorthand, but created her own niche in our hearts. She assumed tasks rather heavy for a new¬ comer and carried them through bravely and well. When Mr. Croft explains the mystery behind atmospheric conditions, his class listens carefully. His hobby, picture machines, occupies much of his leisure time. He has recorded high-lights of notable football games which we enjoy seeing, for he’s quite an expert.

1 The verdant Freshman really works. m Just a Freshman As the curtain rises on our high school clays, we are eager for this new experience. Miss Garbrick reads Treasure Island so vividly that each of us glances over his shoulder, fearful of glimpsing Long John Silver. Something new! We give a Poverty Party. Admission is clothing or food, which is then sent to the Children ' s Aid Society and the Red Cross. We learn how¬ to dance in Etiquette Club. Our theme song— Keep off m ' feet . A Bandana Min¬ strel is presented by Junior Thespions, of whom Anna Louise Shimer is president. Even at this early date the freshman class claims for its own a football man, and a good one too—Charles Fun- garoli. Four Impressive Years As recorded by Katharine Robinson Now a Sophomore Grown up now and—in Senior High School. Jack Young arrives from Pitts¬ burgh and explodes like a bomb in our midst. Finding Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities exciting, we go to Everett to see Ronald Cole¬ man in the picture. The biology class holds a weiner roast, which turned into a snowball battle. At the com¬ mencement exercises, our president accepts for the class the William Brice Jr. Trophy, a track award, and the Hi-Y plaque for interclass basket¬ ball. A Wise Junior We start tradition and crash the news as producers of Crashing Society. ” Time to choose class rings rolls around. Gayle Leabhart ably heads the ring committee. Hurrah! Our own Beth Gal- laher is selected as Fiesta Queen. Nice going, Bethie! The Junior-Senior Prom proves to be the high-light of the year. The decorating committee, headed by Betty Sipe, does puh-lenty of work. This time we revived tradition! A Dignified Senior Our first thought—the Echo. We choose the staff early that they may begin work. Our candy business at basketball games thrives. This will help finance the Echo. Jack Henderson is elected captain of the basket¬ ball team. Wrestling season —Robert Clark and Sotirokos are our star wres. lers. Look at the birdie Smile sweetly! —senior pic¬ tures. Two of our boys are awarded the Keystone Far¬ mer Degree—Willard F. Koontz and John James. Time for the class play and then commencement is here. We regretfully prepare to leave this school, for four years our cherishing moth¬ er. ” The last interview 353 18
