To manage our class affairs we elected as president Robert Haddeng vice- president, Cora Wolf, treasurer, Lo Rene Marting and secretary, Elizabeth Lantz. As we were all very young, our greatest determination was to give up most of our pleasure, and start right by studying, during all of our spare time. In this respect We accomplished just what we started out to ac- complish, each one gaining distinction and renown, throughout the whole year. Our Sophomore year, was: one of the happiest years of our school life. Our first move was tohold a class meeting, and decide whether we should continue our officers and o-ur colors. As two of our officers had withdrawn, we elected as our president, Byron McDowell. As we had no work to be done by a secretary, we did not elect any that year, but still held the same colors. During that year we entertained the Seniors by giving them a banquet, which 'proved a great success throughout. We also en- joyed a sled ride to Clearfield, and also was entertained at the home of Byron McDowell. We had a. membership of thirty-six, and with loyal support from every one, it was not unexpected that we should be' winners in most of our undertakings. , When we had gone a notch higher, we found we were,'Juniors. With special privileges of upper classmen, we indulged in many social events. The first was ia party, given at the home of our French and History teacher, Miss Shively. Next we enjoyed ia sleighing party to Cleariield, and afterwards partook of a delicious chicken and waffle supper. This was the first year basketball was played in our High School. Most of the star play- ers were our Junior girls. At the close of school we were entertained in a most pleasing way, at the home of Byron McDowell.

CURWENSVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS PAGE 21 N WRIGLEY, GEORGE Percy Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance. Let me introduce you to this young and happy gentleman. As a student he has won the flavor of both his classmates and faculty. Latin is one of his favorite studies, and to hear him read or recite Vergil, is amazing, This lad is very young, but is brilliant -and has great determining powers g therefore we predict success for his future. He is secretary 01' our class, and also president of our Colonel Irvin Literary Society. YACABUCCI, ELDA Yelda Beneath this mild exterior, there lies a deal of mischief. A glance at this sober countenance, and we think her as a quiet, studious lassie, but those who know her Well, can vouch that she deceives her appearance.

CURWENSVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS PAGE 23 The long anticipated year has come, we are Seniors. Byron McDowell wasunammously elected president to lead us through the intricacies of our Senior year. George Wrigley was elected secretary and Elizabeth Wall chosen as treasurer. We looked forward to '22 as our best year. As Flreshmen, Sophomores and Juniors, we strove to lift better to best , in school life, and as Seniors, We shall attempt to magnify that ideal and set an example for those following in our footsteps. Shortly after the start of school, we were highly entertained at a lawn party, given at the home of Elizabeth King, of which all the Faculty attended. There we enjoyed games and dancing and ended the evening with delicious refreshments, returning home at a late houzr, and vouohing We had never had a better time before. Our .class play, and other entertainments, such as banquets and parties, will be held later in the term. Thus stands the history of our class of 1922, as far as the historical facts are concernedg but the pleasant mem- ories of our pasti association can never be recorded. We can sincerely hope and trust that our future paths and associations may be as bright as those of our past four years. ' - MARJORIE A.
