CLASS POEM Our days of triumph now have come Our high school days are past What we have worked for we have won Highest laurels are ours at last. Hardships, heartaches, we all have known, Disappointments and discouragements, too;- Some of our trials we have borne alone Some we have shared with those tried and trrua. W.e shared our hopes of happiness, V e shared our plans of life, We shared our joys of deep success. As well as fears and strife. Our lessons we studied day by day Some were difficult and long Along with these we learned to obey And was ta ught right conquers wrong. Our teachers were guides who led us through Our darkest days of despair They helped us and encouraged us anew When we felt we did not care. Our playtimes too we will miss When each other we learned to know Our thoughts will go back to those moments of bliss Which made our love and friendship for each other grow.. Some of us will go to a higher school, Some the school of life will begin. We will carry with us the golden rule Whioh we must use if we would win. Schoolmates, now ec will say farewell. It is time that wo must part Our friendships which we have loved so well We will treasure eternally in our hearts. Teachers, farewell.'. We must leave you. Wo want to thank you all For your love and patience which brought us through, Sometimes, your guiding hand we'll recall. Our paths, we hope, will cross once more When or where we cannot tell We'll speak of school days, joys of yore Now once more we say farewell. - 16 - Helen Hughes

CLASS HISTORY On a September moraine quite a few years ago, the six year old boys anc. girls of 3edford and Huntingdon counties answered to tne roll call of the public school for the first oine. The lads and lasses were tiuid little folk with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. Perhaps, some even wept because tney had to go to school. How, after approximately twelve years, you see a final selection from several groups of those boys and girls of these two counties. Since many of our number joined us in the Freshman year our history as a class really begins at that time. 'hen the school bell summoned us September 1, 1933. we bravely trudged up the hill amid the jeers of the upper classmen. Our nearts beat at an alarming rate when we entered the building. In one corner we saw a group of people who looked as frightened as we felt, 'e soon found out that they were the new students from Hummell, Cherrytown, and other places. 7e allied ourselves with them and felt much easier. e must have looked very green for every one seemed to know we rere the Freshmen. hiss Long helped us get settled and v e soon felt much ao nome. e paio little attention to the upoerclassmen1s ricicule. But one day we sat up and took notice. ’7e heard that we were going to be initiated, 'e lived in fear and trip- idatlons for two weeks. At last the dreaded time came, “’e all survivea, out most of us never looked the same after it v as over. That year we learned many important and true things such as: x equals y if y equals x. e realized what great value this would be to us in later life, and so we studied it assiduously and made great progress. Our teachers became very discouraged with us at times, but when final examinations came they proved that we were prepared to become Sophomores. Our Sophomore year was filled with many trials. The Juniors ano Seniors did not seem to know that v e were no longer Freshmen. They continued to oppress us in every way they possibly could. And the Freshmen paid no attention to us whatever. lien spring time came, after an uneventful v inter, we played for the championship in baseball and lost. in football that year v e only lost to Huntingdon. Again our free and easy lives were disturbed by final examinations, which were destined to make us Juniors. The months of vacation passed and we were glad to return - 17 -
