MADENFORD, '24 Four short years ago, a multitude of infants appeared in the corridors of P. H. S. When asked who they were, they answered, The Freshmen. Yes, we, as Freshmen were just as these. It took a long time to get acquainted with the building, but we were soon able to find a class-room. without back-tracking all over the building. Who. among our fellows can forget those Room XI days, and how quickly the room was emptied when some hard-hearted Sophs. appeared on the scene? However, we took it all in the same spirit in which it was given and are not seriously injured. Then came our Hallowe'en Party at Dives' Bungalow under the chaperonage of Misses Critz and Smith. Everyone had a great time and all looked forward to the next party. In our second semester elections, Doug MacKeeby was elected presi- dent. The rest of the year passed quickly and we were faced with the dreary prospect of two and a half months without study. Then we returned as '4Sopbisticated Sophsf' VVe were indeed sorry to note the absence of Misses Boyer and Smith, our friends of Freshmen days. VVe made the acquaintance of Miss Short. NVe shall always re- member her for her Parliamentary Law experiments. Vile also were con- fronted by three new teachers, Messrs. Booth, Grube, and Long. This term passed with incredible speed and we were again confronted by vacation. Now, we are juniors. VVe looked with dismay upon some of our slight- ly older friends who were Seniors, realizing that our turn would soon come. This year, as usual, we held up our end in athletics and also scholastically. VVe expect to have a large honor roll for our Annual. Early in the year we held our party at Dives', a most successful affair. Miss Filbert, Miss Moyer, Miss Reinhart, Mr. Diehl, Mr. Konrad, and Mr. Knowles enjoyed the fun with us. Soon we were obliged to bid farewell to the Seniors from that front row. We wished them all kinds of good luck and success in life. Again, we reported to school, this time as noble Seniors. We elected Agnes Holahan to be president for the first semester. We had our animal party at Dives'. This was a well planned affair, consequently well enjoyed. 16

The Minuet seemed more impressive than ever, probably because our class-mates participated. Then we began to think about a play. With Miss Kathryn Morris as directress, we put on Booth Tarkington's Seventeen, With George Hohman as president, we are looking towards Com- mencement. And now We wish to express our gratitude to our kind friends, the faculty and our fellow students. We have worked with you for four long years but shall never forget your frienship and devotion, W' ! 3--I 17
