Now, twelve years later, we look back over the trail they trav- eled, across the Black Ftiver of Ignorance, up the slow, laborious mountain of Difficul- ty, down to the Valley of Discouragement, up to the Vista of Hope. The labors of those first years were brightened by many happy occasions: the Spring Festivals, the masquerades on Hal- lowe'en, the Santa Claus who never failed to appear with boxes of candy for every- OIIG. S In the seventh year, several groups of wayfarers joined forces at Cameron. As students of the junior high-school, they were all introduced to manual training, physical training, cooking and sewing. During their next year, the club system was established, a milestone in Connellsville's school history. Edith Leeder, Dorothy Peterson, Harry Gold- stone, and Edgar Wood stepped to the front that year to receive the American Legion Medals conferred upon them as outstand- ing, all-round students. In September, 1932, three hundred and twenty-eight persevering Freshmen entered their ninth year of education at Connells- ville High School. After a few humiliations, such as getting into junior and Senior class rooms and ascending the descending stairs, they became accustomed to the routine and livedhto produce the play Pandora Lifts the Lid , starring lane Port and Edgar Wood. As Sophomores, our travellers display- ed hearty spirit by winning the singing con- test and Mary jane Herd won the junior di- vision of the spelling contest for the group. The girls proudly joined the Girl Reserves. The Sophomore class play, Tiger House , the first mystery play to be presented by the high school, made dramatic history. So convincing was the performance that many lights in Connellsville burned the night through. As juniors, they followed this success with The Bat, and William Bane, as mystery man, caused much hysterical screaming. Members of the class became more prominent in activities. Five of them were admitted to National Honor Society, and Genevieve Sherrick was awarded the five dollar prize for distinguished work in American History. We are nearing the end of the trail as we pass the last guide post: Senior Year. There is that hard-fought battle with La- trobe that ended in a tie, the basketball victory over Uniontown, the continued suc- cess of the debating squad in defending the county laurels for the third consecutive year, bringing the Snyder Cup to Connells- ville permanently. Further, the Seniors were undefeated in the boys' inter-class basketball for the first time in history. And there is Color Day, the first of the actual Senior Class activities, in which the class colors, violet and gold, and the class flower, the yellow daisy, were presented in im- pressive ceremony. There is the George Washington party in the gymnasium held the following evening. And here we find them at Senior Class Day, and graduation exercises, at the end of their high school days, bidding each other farewell. Having conquered the obstacles and trials which beset them, they have arrived at their destination. It was a long journey in perilous days, but they arrived safely with a store of bright memories that time will not tarnish. Now, in parting, they are saying, Happy Landing, Bon Voyage.
