THE MOUNTAINEER SENIGR CLASS HISTORY Well, well, well, how time does fly, said old Father Time. And just to show you that I am correct, I will give you an example. Just four years ago, in the year of 1928, eighty-four youngsters with happy laughing faces, entered the halls of Ligonier High School as Freshmen. They were placed under the care of Mrs. Haberlen and Mr. Wilt, who were very capable of handling such a group. September 21 was the Freshmen's gala day, and what queer looking creatures they were! And what applause Homer McClain received when he proposed to Gee Peterson. The Heshmen chapel on January 14, in which many students took part, was quite a success and it was at this entertainment that Franklin Slater proved himself to be one of the finest musicians in the High School. There were two radio parties held that year, and they were attended with delight by many Freshmen as well as upper-classmen. Nine months passed quickly for this class and in a short time they found them- selves no longer Freshmen, but Sophomores. Their second year was quite different from the first. They were now Sophomores. The class had dwindled down to sixty-four members because many had left school either to go to Work or to attend other in- stitutions of learning. Miss Jones and Miss Daniels took the places of Mrs. Haberlen and Mr. Wilt as class advisors. As there was no room large enough for this class, they found themselves settled in the back of the auditorium. Since they were now Sophomores, they were entitled to a cheer- leader, and Walter Mickey was chosen. During this year the class wel- comed a new member, Irene Nanassy, who proved to be a high honor student. It seems that they no sooner became Sophomores, until they were dismissed from that class and from then on were known as Juniors. Al- though their class now numbered just fifty-eight. they lived up to the traditional name, Jolly Juniors. Perhaps they were just a little bit too jolly, for Mr. Beggs, as class advisor, surely had his hands full. Will they ever forget the Junior and Senior Prom. when the balloons were supposed to come floating down and didn't? How dismayed they were, after all their planning. And then, when the pins and rings arrived, the Juniors were easily distinguished from the rest of the students. They vowed of course, as all Juniors do, that they would always have them, but I am afraid that some of them forgot that vow. And now they are Seniors, about to graduate from the school so dear to all of them. They were the first Senior class to enter the new High School, and they will be the first to graduate from it. This alone is enough to make them proud. Also, this class is the largest to ever graduate from Ligonier High, numbering fifty, twenty-five girls and twenty-five boys. They will never forget their class advisor, Miss Johnston, who was so patient with them during their Senior year. February 12 the Navy team held a party for the Army, which was the agreement when the magazine campaign was started. The losing team was to hold a party for the winning team, and everyone agreed that they more than fulfilled their promise for a good time. Walter Mickey, who left Ligonier High School after his Sopho- more year, decided to come back, so he is going to graduate with his class. There is one other activity which really should be mentioned. That is the Senior dance, the first dance of the year, which took place in the early fall. It was another big success. Many of the Seniors have been heard to say that they wish they were Sophomores, so that they might have a few more years in High School. But soon they will be alumni of their school, never again to re- turn as students. Well, well, well, and some people say that time doesn't fly, mumbled old Father Time, wearily nodding his head as he looked at his h0ur glass. -Margaret Lou Brownfield, '32. fPa,ge Q82
