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

Their cares were thrown to the wind, as they started a new chapter of their school life in Ligonier High. As juniors they had an opportunity to take business training and to study chemistry in addi- tion to the regular aca- demic subjects. The courses were varied for some of them by studying music and art or by work- ing in the shop, They dis- covered relaxation from tedious studying in the physical education classes.

WELLER Not only have they distinguished themselves adviser. then delivered it to They have worked in- dustriously to earn money so that they can make a trip to the Worlds Fair in New York in l939. Class dues yielded a steady in- come for the fund, Pro- ceeds from Growing Pains, the successful class play produced before Thanksgiving, added a con- siderable sum to the sav- ings account. After the excitement of holding a class play subsided, their interest was again aroused when rings were selected and fingers measured for correct sizes. Their trea- surer, Mary Elizabeth Weller, begged and cajoled money from them by every possible means and Miss Dickinson, the class as well-informed students, but also have partici- pated in school activities. Robert jenkins and Bill Lohr have proved to be real marksmen in the shooting matches held between Ligonier and other schools. For the first time in Ligonier High School, a junior, Victor Hantz, has served as captain of the football team. Bob Ramsey was one of the high scorers on the Senior Varsity bas- ketball team and George Burns was a star player on the junior Varsity team. Mr. Rushworth dis- covered an efficient librarian for the music de- partment in Marian Ross and presented her with a letter for loyal services. As an enthusiastic and convincing speaker, Imogene Kinsey was a val- uable member of the debating squad. The Publi- cations could always rely on Kenneth Buell and William McColly for original feature write-ups. Looking back over the years events, they re- member the keen rivalry that existed between Rooms 5 and 8. To claim their championship, Room 5 points to their winning the Mountaineer Subscription contest and harboring three class officers as well as sponsoring the Oakite Question Bee in assembly. Nevertheless Room 8 boasted of their Christmas tree-a small branch of pine, sprouting from an ink bottle. They had a genius too. The student, who had the bright idea of taking the door of Room 8 from its hinges when the knob wouldnt work, ranks with Newton and Galileo. Alas! how often genius is unappreciated. just before the end of the school term the juniors sponsored the annual junior-Senior prom as a farewell to those whose leadership they will soon assume. They hope to be able to maintain the standards left them.
