Gi ss Po m By MILDRED HUNT Hail to the Class of '21- Soon memories will stand in our place: Let's take a brief glimpse at each one in our ranks Meet their merits and faults, face to face. Adolphus Allison, our President. For nothing but honor would stand. So the year passed smoothly for '21, VVith Dolphie in sturdy command. To our Vice President, Dolly VVertz, We give the credit of an orderly school: For as head of the Girls' Student Council, She faithfully enforced every rule. Shorty-you've won highest honors, But' beware-lest success turn your head: For High School's but one institution in life. A rough, rugged road lies ahead. I-Iasn't our Lore been fine this year? The reason is easily -guessed. 'Twas just because Melvin, our Editor, Was determined to make it the best. Our athletic twins, Nan and Had, L. H. S. will remember their fame: For the Prices have fought for its honor, In many a Varsity game. Elizabeth Heikes, Ruth Hunt and Katherine Will be pianists of great renown: In the future we'll see the Temple packed When they return to town. Chris-you're a very good business man, Your work for the Lore we must praise: Such faithful service L. H. S. won't forget, May success ever brighten your days. A quiet, demure, little maiden Is Anne-a sphinx in her way: Though shallow water babbles loudest, Still water. runs deep, they say. VVitt's one it's hard to say much about. His virtues we all know quite well: So we give him to Marty to lead and advise. And the future-you never can tell. Lilian Carodisky and Miriam Cohen, Are vamps of the first degree, But they also shine in the class room, Great success for them we shall see. Ken. Copeland may be sort of bashful. But there's two things make Ken. a changed man: One- of course you well know, is athletics, VVe'll let Peg guess the other if she can. She plays the infant role so well, You'd hardly think she was grown: But please don't mention Mt. Hermon, Or Kate's secret will surely be known. A second Caruso we have in our midst, Who's also a shark on the track: In love he's not partial, he's nice to them Maurice-there's nothing you lack. George Crager's a regular all-round boy, In basket ball, foot ball and track: He helps us out well in every need, But George-it's a girl you lack. Her heart is at State College, Across the mountain, far away: Emeretta-we really expect. You will go there to live some day. Dick Cargill is a mighty man, But love can work many a charm: all, Shenk, He nearly threw the shot away: Now McMeen's is a cause for alarm. Nell Price always seems the quiet sort, But those who know her well. - Say were it not for her studies, Our Nell would be a regular belle. The girls may look at you and sigh, But Chauncey, they are wise: They know that Baltimore claimed you first, And that there all attraction lies. John and Pauline, those Dippery kids. Are only twins in name: For they are as different as darkness and light, Though their love for the boys is the same. Florence Bailey, Mary Wray and Mildred Ulsh, In Latin get very high marks: They tackle Cicero and Virgil, As if they considered them larks. Doug. Andrews, Jessie Heister and Homer Forsythe Boys whose labors are never in vain: McVeytown lost three trusty lads. But her loss was Lewistown's gain. Two of our girls are going to be nurses, Mae Quay and Pauline Reed: Of course they'll make themselves noted, For many a kind word and deed. Alice Krentzman, Dorothy Huyett and Una Hook, Expert secretaries will be: Though we fear the young employers, Will fall 'neath their charms, speedily. Elizabeth Erdley and Tressie Fisher, On men might write a book: And they chose to fix their affections. On two by the name of Snook. Madeline Dipple may always be found In the Domestic Science room. Died from Indigestion will never appear Upon her H6FbQ1'tYS tomb. VVanda Minick and Arie Goss, , You'd never know were here: And if everyone else were as quiet as they, The teachers might well have no fear. Marguerite Orner, we're quite convinced, As a stenographer will never do: Mickey-why don't you go to State, And live in a bungalow built for two. Alma, We know, is an honest girl, Who tries all obligations to fill: So We really cannot understand. Why she always has a Bill, VVhen you start to number Gene's assets, It really sounds like a fable: But Gene will say that the greatest one Is a little girl named Mabel. Sweet Helen McNitt came to our ranks, From a little town up the line: Just ask us how we like her, And we'll everyone answer fine. Teachers, schoolmates, well beloved, We've tarried here awhile: Though on life's journey these four years, Count but one short mile. VVe see in the distance the mountain, We'll all reach its top, by and by: Godspeed to the Class of '21- Dear Friends-we bid you good-bye.

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.
