X CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN On a bright, sunshiny morning in early September, 1927, we ser our wings to the air and started on the flight of High School Education. Cur airship was Fare, our pilot, Prof. A. M. Hinkel, and our crew was one hundred and twelve carefree and happy Freshmen anxiously awaiting the trip of experience. How thrilled we were when we attended the first assembly as Freshmen. Time went on in the usual way, as time does. The Freshmen were not cast aside and looked down upon as useless when they started showing talent in dramatics. The first play in which we took part was Belle of Barce- lona. A number of Freshmen were in choruses. We also had a fine representation in the oratorical contests. Of course, we entered athletics, the girls as well as the boys. Quite a number of Freshmen starred in hockey. Then we may not forget the orchestra was blessed by some 'l Freshiesf' Our flight was not all through a clear sky, however. For instance, Examinations and Failures tried to stop us. But we glided through all this till we came to the first landing field, the end of our first year in high school. We were all glad, of course, for a vacation, so we left old Hershey High to return in September. 4 SOPHOMORE Now for the second leg of our flight, our Sophomore year. How sophisticated we now appeared. We felt much more grown up and experienced in our flying knowledge. In the beginning of the year we organized our class, Earl Christ was elected president. We also decided on our class flower and class motto. Now that we were organized, we began our social activities. Soon we were called upon to participate in the school oper- ettas, That's That, and The Wishing Well. This year we took a more active part in athletics. A Girls' Glee Club was organized and a number of the Sophomores were members of it. Our work in science was made more interesting and practical by a number of field hikes. Slowly this year drew to a close and we again landed for a vacation which we all thought we deserved. IUNIOR Again we took off from the field of vacation and resumed our flight. This year not all the crew returned to join us. We were sorry for we missed each one of them. Again we organized, reelecting our president, Earl Christ. Now we were classified as upper- classmen, and we assumed a more important part in the activities of the school. This year was very busy for us. We first organized the Broadcaster staff, composed of all juniors, with the exception of some of the class reporters. We began rehearsals for a john B. Roger's play, Page the Prince. Several juniors were among the principals in the cast and many others were in the choruses. Many of the group were numbered among the members of the Mixed Chorus. Thrills! Yes, indeed! No, they were not received through nose dives or loop-the- loops, but in the choosing of our class rings and pins. It was very difficult to decide which ring we wanted but .we finally selected what we considered the most suitable. Examina- tions came and went. We are glad to report that we all survived, although many of us had to burn a considerable amount of midnight oil. Then the debating season came along and three Juniors were on the teams. This year the new Vocational Schooluwas opened and a number of the boys in our class entered some of the departments in-that unit. Many other interesting events passed during this term and before we knew itlthe year drew to a close. We again prepared to land once more before completing our flight. TIUEUIQ'-6118 R new I ' K

S , .-.-M7ls: f iw 8 W0 C 5 Seniors! What magic sound in the name. September 3 we took off on the last leg of our journey. This year we had a new pilot, Dr. I. Baugher. Under his capable direction, and that of his assistants, we were able to finish our trip successfully. This year we again reorganized our class and Galen Baugher was elected president. The Seniors again took an active part in the school activities. Several of our members held important offices on the Broadcaster staff. We organized the Sigma Gamma, Tri-Hi-Y, and Hi-Y Clubs. The educational and social benefits derived from these activities are priceless and we shall always have pleasant memories of our meetings. The school band came into promi- nence and rendered several excellent programs. We carried many leading parts in the operettas, The Spanish Moon, and The Pioneer's Papoosef, We shall long remember the Senior Class Play, The Tightwadf' We demonstrated our dramatic ability in a com- mendable manner. We continued on our way through a clear sky. We again made prepa- rations for the publication of our school annual, the Choclatierf' The staff was elected and work was begun. The Christmas party! Everyone had a wonderful time and it is one social event of our school career that will not be forgotten. After our Christmas vacation we returned to school and discovered that a great mist was arising and steering became more difficult. Examinations! We took them more seriously. Debating try-outs were next in order. The teams were composed of practically all Seniors. Much time and effort was devoted to this project and the teams made a fine showing, again winning the league banner. Clubs were organized. We sent a representation from the Broadcaster staff to the Pennsylvania State Press Association Convention at Williamsport. This was an outstanding year in athletics. Our football team was undefeated and both basketball teams made very enviable records. Days passed, weeks passed, and months passed. Soon spring came and now the school year is drawing to an end. The crowning event of our school career-Commence- ment-at last is becoming a reality. Then the Washington Trip. We are preparing to land for the last time. Our work is just about completed. It is with a feeling of sadness that we finally say- Farewell, dear Hershey High School. May you ever live and prosper. The best wishes of the Class of 1931 will always rest with you. In the hearts of each member memories of the days spent here will linger, days which passed far too quicklyf, Marie Mayr, '31. ,li...i- CLASS POEM Father Time thus brought us hither We love thee, our dear H.
