Eeiitt tei l We submit this IQZI Commencement number of the Lore to the public with absolute con- Edence that not' one High School student or any person interested in our school activities can look through its pages without meeting much to attract his interest and furnish him with genuine entertainment. At least this is our hope, for the paper has been compiled with that end in view. We are taking this means to express our gratitude to the generous businessmen of Lewis- town. through whose co-operation and support our High School paper exists. The Lore is deeply indebted to the Faculty in general and to Miss Naomi Cassidy, Faculty Advisor, and Mr. Earl Strange. Business Advisor, in particular for the necessary assistance which they have willingly given throughout the year. Especial credit is due, also. to the contributors, who. in a very real sense, make the Lore what it is. We extend hearty thanks for every effort these live-wire writers have made, and al- though limited space has prevented the publication of many excellent articles, many of which were produced by lower-classmen, their work has not been in vain, for the enthusiasm generated by their interest and help is always essential to the success of the paper. XVith such ability and. above all, with such spirit among the students of our High School, there is no doubt that the Lore will continue to advance rapidly in the future. Our possibilities are unlimited. To those in whose hands the management of the Lore will be placed next year, and to every one who is interested in making Lore the finest magazine of its kind in the State. we wish success. This Commencement edition is, we think, the best production of the year, and we cordially invite you to get your share of pleasure from its contents, and we hope that you will enjoy it. E FIRE DRILL

SE MO GLASS HUSTO Y As the four-leaf clover symbolized good lvck, so did the four years of the class of '21's lligh School life symbolize good luck. Not Ol1.'i for each individual in the class, but also for old I.. H. S. I11 our career many new student activities were started for the advancement of our school. na111ely: The Lore, our school paper, student council, which has uplifted the moral standard in school, and inter-class and Varsity foot ball. basket ball and t1 ack teams which made it necessary to organize an athletic association. VVe do not mean that by our efforts alone weie these organizations originated, but by our efforts we have kept them thriving. We entered as lfreshmen in the old High School building on Vfayne Street with a class of 126. At Yuletide we moved from our old home into the new one where we were to witness many happy events. The new building offered us increased advantages-gym, chapel exer- cises and home economics. In athletics, although we did not win first place in any game, we showed that we were willing to come out and try. Every one of our men that entered the IQIS track meet scored points. Thus from the beginning we showed o11r ability in track. Three months had passed. Again we found ourselves in L. H. S. Not as greeriies, but as noisy Sophomores. just as the four-leaf clover is not green the wiiole year round so we did not remain greenies' for more than a season. The second year that our country was going through the critical period of the World War, we did our bit by selling Liberty Bonds and WVa1' Savings Stamps, also by taking out a 100 per cent. enrollment in the junior Red Cross. One eve- ning after school, a class meeting was held and the colors blue and steel were chosen to carry us through the remaining years. In basket bali this year we stood third and in track wc showed again that we had good material. When we had gone a notch higher and were juniors, Miss Carter, our new and highly cherished friend, had us in charge. With special privileges of upper classmen we indulged in many social events. The first was a masquerade party held in the Market Hall. fShalI we ever forget how Joe Woods gave us an exhibition of how he could lift himself in the tub?j Qur second diversion was a sledding party, if one 'nay call it as such, for no one seemed to be go- ing. but when the ti.ne came it seemed as if everybody wanted to go. Indeed there were enougn people present for two sleds when only one was to be found. The committee was determined that all should go to McVeytown. Two cars were hired to take the remaining boys and girls. Four A. M. saw a sleepy crowd returning home. The junior Prom. closed a successful and most enjoyable year. Successful because the promising future we had shown in track had become a realization, for we had won the silver loving cup. The girls showed their athletic ability when the first' Girls' Varsity basket ball team had four letter men from the Junior Class. The long anticipated year had come, we were Seniors. Adolphus Allison was unanimously elected President to lead us through the intricacies of our Senior year. This year we especially showed, as we had always shown, that we were capable of handling increased responsibilities. The Lore was received by us with a large debt attached to it. We have paid that debt and have, we modestly hope, produced the best paper which has ever been issued. A chicken and waffle supper was the first social gathering of the Senior year. yVe motor- ed from Lewistown to Sunnybrook Hotel at Milroy. There we enjoyed ourselves by playing games and dancing, and ended the evening with a waliie-eating contest. The Poverty Ball held in the social rooms of the High School was a great event. The rooms were decorated in the class colors, blue and steel, with touches of green in honor of St. Patrick The costumes were of various designs and very picturesque though the greater part of them were taken from moth- er's ragbag. A fountain pen was given as a prize to the one dressed th-e poorest. Witt Hutchi- son, whose costume might, by its appearance, iiave gone through all the wars this country has ever been in, won the prize. The refreshments were so plentiful that the following day the Sen- iors remained at noon-time and finished the food left from the night before. In chapel we have entertained more than any previous class has been known to do. We introduced small plays which were enjoyed by the entire school. If you doubt our success, ask the Eighth Grade. Through these plays our Senior Class play, Much Ado About Betty, was a huge success. The players acted like professionals, and before a fullhouse. The sum cleared exceeded that of any previous Senior Class play. In September, 1920, it seemed as though we had a small chance of even having a foot bail team with only fifteen eligible boys. But we organized a team and were not once defeated. Basket ball seemed to be our boys' Waterloo. Not' so with the girls, for they won the inter- class games and again we had three letter men from the class of '2I. Track was our lucky star, for we added another honor to the class when the silver loving cup was won for the second time. Thus stands the history of the class of I92I,aS far as the historical facts are concerned, but the pleasant memories of our past associations can never be recorded. We can only sincerely hope and trust that our future paths and associations shall be as bright as those of our past four years.
