Our dramatic presentations have been greatly improved by the work of the make-up artists and the stage crew who are under her guidance. Those who have not come in contact with this pleasing personality in her art or civic classes, encounter her during activity period as a helpful critic of their dancing. Finally, the beautiful murals and ex- cellent poster work done by her pupils serve to confirm Miss Gregg's ability as an art teacher. Mr. Pershing, who spends most of his time instilling the agrarian instinct in our future tillers of the soil, is also a representative in the General Assembly at Harrisburg. Because of his contact with important problems of legislation, he has proved himself to be an able lecturer in Problems of Democracy. Under his leadership his boys have shown a new zest for working in the shop where they are busily employed in constructing stage properties or classroom equipment. Mr. Pershings quiet, friendly way makes everyone enjoy his companionship. 19 a -1 ve. 1 W .F srl?-AKQPE-3 R r ...:4,eQ?'i s. N ,Miha K -1.-If .491 rn . ,,..,.- .5 4 .

Seniors Complete Four Years Of School Life For four years Mr. Wylie and the senior class have been forming a pleasant and en- during friendship. Beginning as strangers, they have developed a cooperative partner- ship which both principal and students have enjoyed. The seniors look upon Mr. Wylie's claim of ownership of them as a distinctive honor. This record class of eighty-three hope that his pride and confidence in them will be justified. It seems incredible that just four years ago these same students assembled in the portable as freshmen. The Hrst of their outstanding projects was the organization of the Freshman Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Dickinson. How eager these greenies were to impress upon their upperclassmen that they were able to assume the responsibilities of full-fledged high school students! During their sophomore year the Class of l938 introduced a new and valuable club to the high school-a Culture Club. Etiquette and dancing lessons were offered to those who cared to join. The members decided to combine the club fund, collected from dues and proceeds from a Leap Year dance, with the senior class fund. jolly and industrious was every junior. Their original assembly programs, featuring a kazoo band and a court scene, provided delightful entertainment. To raise funds for their Washington jaunt, an able cast presented Tom Sawyer just before Thanksgiving. The Class of 1938 was the first to use the gymnasium for their junior-Senior Prom. For this event the ballroom was transformed into a Southern plantation with its cotton, colored mammies, and fountain. Now as seniors they have reached the peak of their high school career. In addition to their academic obligations, they have continued to swell their class fund by sponsoring an attractive cafeteria, bake sales, a Christmas dance, a St. Patricks Day dance, a maga- zine subscription campaign, and the annual senior play. Graduation activities will be ushered in with a four days' tour of the nations Capitol. Class Night, May 13 will permit each senior a final opportunity to display his talents. At the Baccalaureate services, May 22, parting words of advice will convince cap and gowned seniors that a new world is opening to them. And on May 24, Mr. Wylie will present to them diplomas as certificates of the faith that he and the Faculty of Ligonier High School have in the Class of 1938. .,,,, I ..,-.,, 1, fu ,N J- , ., Us kj-.. ,,.s .. , gg- V .

The excellent work of her depart- ment was demonstrated in the girls' gymnastic exhibition at the Winter Fair. Besides her super- vision of athletics, she instructs freshmen in civics and prepares them for advanced sciences in her general science classes. She enjoys hiking and camping where she can appreciate nature. During the two years she has been a member of our faculty, she has attained remarkable cooperation with the students on account of her outstanding personality. Coaching football and basketball teams together with supervising the boys' physical educa- tion classes occupies much of Mr. Benninghoffs time. Through his persistent efforts he has de- veloped in two years a basketball team that has won the praise of the community. His mornings are spent in teaching upperclassmen geometry and trigonometry. He is a lover of the great out- doors and usually spends his summers in Canada. His skill as a marksman has been proved at Rifle Club practises. 21
