Prestige of Predecessors However, the juniors have been social- minded, too, During the class play, The Charm School, they celebrated jane lVlc- lntyres birthday by going on an eating spree for a few hours one evening. The juniors also sponsored the St. Patricks Day dance and the annual Prom and banquet. Another annual event on the juniors' calendar was the selection of class rings.

Donato enjoys Chrisner's emphatic praise of the junior class play while Wylie and Mclntyre look on, QThrough the eyes of the candid camera, the past year has been one of profit and pleasure for the juniors. Although they met with many defeats, they also gained much in the way of learning. As our cameraman moves up the hall, he hears strange melody, emerging from one of the classrooms. lt's only the juniors practic- ing Frere jacques in the fourth period French class, a little off key perhaps, but the students are enjoying themselves. As he waits at the end of the hall, Margaret Martens approaches with a pail of something which turns out to be ice cubes. Shes on her way to the physics laboratory where the juniors are trying to test thermometers. Wait a minute, Mr, Photographer! We'll have to snap a picture of our varsity athletes. Five of the outstanding basketball players, C. Donato, j. Kozar, R. Haas, B, Melville, and G. Wuchina were juniors and were greatly responsible for the team's success. The Junior Class Upholds OFF l CERS ROBERT WYLIE - - - - - President CHARLES DONATO - - - - Vice President BILL CHRISNER ---- - - Secretary KI ANE MCINTYRE ------- Treasurer Miss DICKINSON AND MR. WAUKEAMAN - Advisers Well, we had better move along now while it's still light enough to take pictures. What luck! l-lere come james Corna, drum major of the band, and his assistants, Eleanor l-lunter, jean I-loupt, and Ellen Griffith. They certainly know how to handle those batons. Remember Bob Riggs' assembly speech during the Publications' hamburger campaign and Tom Carnes' description of his trip to the Farm Show in Harrisburg? These were proofs of the fact that the juniors also have some eloquent speakers in their class. Not to be outdone, Bob Wylie and Margaret Martens attended the All-Western Orchestra at Gakmont, and Bob also attended the All-State Band Festival in johnstown. Look out! you're going to run into jean Shirey. My, she certainly hurries around to gather feature material for the Publications. And heres the question of the year- Why do the freshman boys like jean so well? Lucky freshmen!

Sophomore Class Fulfills Hunter and Gaskin discuss plans for the May Day dance with Nicely and Menoher. QAgain if we look into the lens of the candid camera, we see officers of the sophomore class, Bill Caskin and Tom Hunter, glancing through the memory album of photographs taken during the 1938-1939 school year. Here we find them alone in Room 7, since everybody else is attending Room 8's ex- citing assembly program in which joan Nicely, Betty Keffer, and others displayed their gridiron technique. Mr. Benninghoffs selection of W.P.A. workers was very realistic. A gust of wind unfurls many colorful pages and gives us a prevue of the exciting and interesting contents. For instance, theres the Blairsville football classic in which Dick Campbell suffered a broken collar bone. Oh! theres the basketball squad. Wasn't Tom Hunter lucky to make the varsity team- the only sophomore? Doesn't Bill Taylor look proud with his managers letter and poor Alexander Widich has to wait another year for his. OFFICERS BILL GASKIN -------- President TOM HUNTER - - - - - Vice President .IOAN NICELY -------- Secretary FLoRENcE MAE MENOHER ---- Treasurer Miss GREGG AND MR. Pansi-UNC - - Advisers As a heavily ladened page is turned, there stands Louise Brant in her band uniform. She is delivering an Armistice Day address before an assembly of students and a group of representatives of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. And theres Bee Frye preparing her speech for the next debate. This is her first year in the debate club but you can be sure that isn't any handicap. Someone hurriedly leafs over another page and we see Mary Lou Clark and jane Donnelly inspecting a microscope slide. They certainly look interested! Perhaps that's the reason why Mr. Ross selected them as the most intelligent of the sophomore class. However, Bill Fitchko deserves some credit for untangling some of those tongue-twisters in which George Naugle gets himself mixed up quite frequently. When Bill isn't around, George is in a quan- dary.
