l gurl lf S t fl? .llarflm Riden, '20 ln the fall of IQI6 we first entered l.. ll. S. .Xt that time we were merely a promise, but today that promise has seen its fulfillment. For three years we have been the outstanding class in school and have always stood first among the classes During our Freshman year we were to a men to be kept busy learning how to do things long to us, but we ably filled the post. lt was in sportsmanship and school pep. certain extent inactive, as it was our duty as Fresh- and to live down the green which seemed to be- during this first year of our High School life that our teachers realized there was some fine material to be developed from IQ2O during the three years which still remained before us, and now that material has been developed and has reached far beyond their expectations. After several months' vacation. we returned to school to find ourselves Sophomores. During this year we participated in many social events and began to recognize the joys and pleasures that were to be had in school. Here our athletic ability first manifested itself when we defeated every class in school at basket ball and carried off the championship for the year. Our third year at school was very successful. ln this year an honored citizen of our town and community, being interested in the athletic life of the school. presented it with a silver loving cup on which the numerals of the class carrying the interclass championship were to be engraved. All classes worked hard for this honor, but when the games closed 1920 was again crowned the victor and her numerals were the first to adorn the cup. XYe now devoted more time to social duties and showed our class spirit by tendering the Seniors a reception which will long remain a pleasant memory in the minds of all. NYith vacation days over, we found ourselves one step higher on the ladder of success and were classified as dignified Seniors. Robert XYoodrnff was elected president of the class by an overwhelming majority. llis devotion to the intersts of the class during the Junior year showed clearly that this year would he made a success. Social affairs began almost immediately in the form of a Senior party, with other activities following. Although we were defeated at basketball, we met defeat with a smile and thus proved to our under-classmen that it is good to give as well as receive. Members of '20 have helped to make the Lore one of the best High School papers in the State of Pennsylvania, and we trust that our under-classmen will fall in our footsteps and do as much for their Alma Klater in the future as lO2O has done in the past. A production of the Camouflage of Shirley, a three act comedy drama, was given by the Seniors. This performance was an unparalleled success and won much comment in favor of the class about the school and community, so much, in fact, that they were asked to repeat it the second time for the benefit of the Civic Club. So pleasant, successful and triumphant has been the course of the noble class of 1920 that the fiight of time has scarcely been noted and it is almost with alarm that we stop for a moment to find ourselves at the close of our High School life. Pleasant as our course has been, it is nevertheless with sadness that we write our class history and thus make record of our last act as Seniors. This is our class history as far as facts are concerned, but the pleasant memories of our past associations cannot be recorded, and we trust that the members of the class of lQ2O will find their path as pleasant in the future as it has been in the past.

Bob YVoodruff's name will head our list, Our loyal president: An all-round athletic boy, On fun and pleasure bent. Next I. Lehr Brisbin's name appears, This happy, jovial boy: Although he looks quite innocent, Is Cornelia's pride and joy. And then we have a pianist. Of nation-wide renown: The theatre is always packed VVhen Elbert plays in town. A charming maid is Gladys Myers, So sweet and debonairg Her wondrous smile will win your heart, Beware. oh boys, beware! In one thing '20 is unique, WVe boast a blushing bride: Two months ago to Hagerstown, Elizabeth Saxton hied. Maliel Ewing, first honor girl, ls oh, so wonderous wise: Her excess knowledge shineth forth, From out her starry eyes. Joe Shellenberg, a Winsome lass, Walked off with honors, too: Sweet Josephine, with her smile serene, ls a good friend, staunch and true. Paul Lawler is an Irishman, A true son of Killarney: And when we jest with him he says: Go long there. with your blarney. Harold Deuel, a New York lad, Is the editor of our Lore: n And you must confess, our Lore's thc best, Than of any heretofore. Elma Benfer likes the boys, Short. tall, yes every one: I do not know which one stands first, But I think 'tis a doctor's son. Anna Mae Sterrett and Sara Kulp, Are small, but oh, so wise: They vamp the little Freshman boys, Regardless of their size. Pauline Ruble rides to school, And takes no note of speed: But dashes down from her country home, On a spirited white steed. Russell Snook, so very bright, Energetically will try, To be a civil engineer, Of prominence, bye and bye. Paul Lykcns and Boyd Kratzer, Come in on the morning train: Milroy has lost two splendid lads, But her loss has been our gain. Harriet Lenhart and Martha Riden, Work hard at stenography: And soon out in the wide, wide world, Expert secretaries they will be. John Shimp, Lloyd Howe and Ray Houser Have no time for girls: But think they are a nuisance With their painted cheeks and curls. Doc. VVa1lize used to hate the girls, But he's changed his mind, forsooth: And now we see him every day, ln company with Ruth. James McMeen is manager, Of the Business Staff of the Lore: It matters not how many ads. he gets, He is always looking for more. Kathryn Eckbert yearns to spend, Her life upon the stage: As a dancing, prancing chorus girl, A wonder of the age. But Randall Leopold has said. 'That this shall never be: And he wants her to take a course, In Household Chemistry. George Nolan and Walter Steltzer, Both are country lads: But better. truer, nobler friends, Are nowhere to be had. In basket ball and foot ball, Clarke Kline is hard to beat: WVhen he played in the Senior games, Our opponents met defeat. Now there is Castor Taylor, A regular history shark: His rccitations are splendid, And of course so are his marks. Katherine Woomer, as an actress, Is truly very fine: If you ask her if she likes the boys, She'll simply answer Nein. Frances VVhite and Mae Felker, Are quiet and demure: And although they say they are old maids, They like the boys, I'm sure. Katherine Swigart and Margaret Ulsh, Have never much to say: But we know it is inevitable, That they'l1 reach fame some day. Madeline Reigle is a cheerful girl, For all she has a smile: She gives the world the cheer it needs, And ma.kes her life worth while. The happiest girl in Lewistown, Will be Rebecca Kreamer: The day Parke leaves the Sunny South, And comes up North to claim her. Della Schilling sports a ring, Upon her fair left hand: And has assured us, every one, That he is simply grand. Della Kline is one of our brightest girls, Her average is quite high. She has taken an interest in Williamsport Of late, we wonder why? Katherine Kearns and Florence Illsh, Thump their typewriters all day: They aim to be stenographers, And draw a splendid pay. Tho' Margaret Matter pays her debts, Try hard though she will- To keep them paid up, every one, She always has a Bill. Eleanor Snook is a happy girl, Who fails not by night or day: If she meets you upon the street, A pleasant word to say. Edith, many times we have been asked, The cause of all your vim: But we'l1 not try to answer that. We'll leave it up to Jim. Gladys Bettens from McVeytown came, A tall and stately lass: She's ready to speak on Women's Rights, For she's the orator of our class. And now my classmates, one and all, Loyal, staunch and true: - I've done my part with his short rhyme, The rest is up to you. ., I.
