Athletes? I should say!-you can't find their like, We've Irvin, Fred Fisher, Paul Jones, Harry Wike. Cupid leads many, his aimxhas been true, He got David and Margy, which still didn't do, So he just turned around, caught up a small dart, Shot William and Hazel both straight through the heart. Florence Keagle's the girl with the cheeks rosy red, 'Tis natural, mistake not the words I have said! Now Mary and Helen come cap'ring along, They're the kind that makes a fellow sing Love's old sweet song' Bob Kauffman and Louis are both ladies' men, Their qualities go far beyond my short ken. Lucretia, Helen Shatzer, Misses Rambler and Albaugh Are the most sedate ladies that one ever saw. Presley and Norman come following after, In spite of their staid mien, they like fun and laughter. Two snappy young iiappers are next in the line, Meet Miss Jessie French and Elizabeth Stine. Here are some sports who can play the game clean: Russell Jacobs, Bob Lynch, Robert Peters, Clarence Kean. The world owes 'us a living, we shall collect all, That's Scutt, Davy Wolfgang, John Shields and Lundvall. Come, haughty young maiden, and don't look so stern, You'll not find your hero that way, Mistress Kern Success of successes with permission I pray Please let me present Messrs. Felker and VVrayg Isn't love just grand? says William Fry, Miss Markley says she doesn't know but still she'd like to try. A buzz, buzz, buzz, and a pitter, pitter, patter, That's Cleo, Dot and Marg Mateer, Miss Snyder and Miss Matter. The following young ladies, how demure they do look, Here's Esther LeFevre, Misses Reigle and Hook. Three lads step forth, they're small but fine, Know Eugene, John Earl, and little Jim Kline. God helps every one who gets what he needs, 'Tis Mary Cooper who fosters this creed. There're three pretty pictures from some story book: Evelyn Clinger, Miss White and Elizabeth Snook. The noise which you hear in space oft' afar Is only Merrill Stumpif coming up with his car All you sturdy woman-haters had better call a truce, Or else keep shy of Violet and fair Leona Bruce. A young colleen is Marjorie Burns with flowing, golden curls, Bill Bowman very truly says, the girl of all the girls. If men could live on arguments and labor here by foil, Why I'm quite sure that Harold Gregg and Dick need never toil, Morris Morrison and Gordon Keagle end this class review, They're men of brawn and men of mind and gallantry, too- Adieu, Athenian Hall, adieu! We leave the shelter built by youg Our pinions restless long to fly Into the unknown By and By. Still does the night we see about Create a fear to venture out. O, guardian spirit, we're but Hesh So weak in this entangled meshg Do give us strength to master all, Through you we conquer or we fall. Farewell, We fly, Good-by, good-by. P, A, 4165

Senior Qlcgs Poem We walk upon the highroad of Learning And trudge with eager hearts a-yearning The crimson and the white unfurled. On every mile post which we pass ls left a name known in our class List while I meet them out. Most esteemed by us all is our president Ned, For him enough praises can never be said, Then our vice-president, Sara, the rose of our class, Life never was given a liklier lass. The full of the earth to our treasurer Charles, May his brow yet be crowned by fame's braided laurels. Secretary Helen commands now your view, She's small, but in talent is one of the few. Make way for his highness, the royal Duke, Kind, gentle, uprighteous, and safe from rebukeg Commanding indeed is our friend, Jennie Marks, When e'er she's around don't cut up any larks! Step forward, Bobby Nichols, handsome young chap, Beware of the women, they're your one handicap. Next Isabell Cohen, our idolized queen, Don't tell me one better you ever have seen. Muse, you were kind when you willingly gave Edmund, our song-bird, the handsome, the brave. Next follows our clique of society flowers, Misses Jameson, Spangler, Ulsh and Showers: Dancing comes Mildred with Kate by her side, Life's but a dreamy waltz thro' which they glide Little son of Erin, bairn of laughter, love and din, Tripping jauntily along comes Charles Edward Lynn. Ruth longs to be off to a far savage land, There to make angel choirs from some heathen band. Ah! William Harper steps now into view, A man of the ages, our t'Beau Brummelf' too Friendship is love, then Byron spoke truth, We've two here to prove it, they're Francis and Ruth. Silence is golden, speak when spoken to, Since you came to us, Lloyd, we know it is true. If you want to find Anna, look 'rt und for Dot, They're both to be found atv the very same spot Ruth Stevens, it follows, a woman of mind, You may search o'er the earth, but no better you'll find. Now, friends, there's Mildred and Irene Brought, When these two get together great works will be wrought If his worth could be sung by ten million of lyres, They couldn't do justice to our Bucky Swyers. Anna and Nellie, the closest pals to be found, You nevcr see one but the other's around. lirancls O'Hara takes stand in a field Which the crown of an author is sure to yield. When gravity and humor are both put together, You'll find a master stroke of art like our Ann Weber. For the next two couples we predict famous ends, Thcy're Pauline and Barbara, the greatest of friends. ll5l'

History of the Class of Nineteen T wenty-six Q OUR YEARS have come and gone since the class of '26 first entered Lewistown High School. They have been four years filled with 1 happiness and occasionally with some sorrow. In the fall of '22 2 we entered L. H- S. We numbered 220, the largest class up to this time, and we were Greenies?' too, but the green soon wore off, and we held a class meeting at which time we elected the following officers: President, George Ross, Vice-President, Sara Kneppg Treasurer, Robert Pickettsg Secretary, Russel Jacobs. We selected our colors, crimson and white, and have not changed them to this day. In our Freshman year we had two men on the Varsity Football Team. In Class Basketball and Track we showed the upper classmen that they had to step, Our girls' team had better luck and tied the J unior's for first place. Our only social event that year was a New Year's party, which was a great success. Again the school bell resounds and our number has dwindled to 175, gay but serious Sophomores. Our officers who guided us through this year were: President, Edward Lynn, Vice-President, Marjorie Burnsg Secre- tary, Sara Kneppg Treasurer, Russel Jacobs. During this year we backed our Alma Mater in everything that came along. We had four men on the varsity football team. In basketball we fell back, but we made up for this in track, taking second place. In the Lore drive we also took second place. The wheel of time revolves and we are upper classmen, or Juniors, and 130 strong. We immediately held a class meeting and elected the following oiiicers: President, Charles Stambaughg Vice-President, Ruth Stephensg Secretary, Sara Kneppg Treasurer, Donald Swyers. In class athletics we did not carry OE any honors, but at least we were good sports. But on the Varsity we shone. Our class Track Team received second place. We were also highly represented in debating and in the k'Lore as we had twelve members on the staff. Our only social event was the PROM which would Hll a book, but I will only mention that it was one of the best ever staged by a class in L. H. S. And of course, we must not forget our memorable picnic which was held at Faust's Park. At last we are Seniors, and our original 220 have dwindled to 92, but of course these are only the best of those who started. Our oliicers for this year are: President, Ned Freed, Vice-President, Sara Kneppg Secretary, Helen Montgomery g Treasurer, Charles Leonard: Our first event was 4179 i
