someone breaks c tost tube. Before we leave our good friend wo would like Mother Nature to inpress upon our nir.ds that not everyone is blessed with a ncce thick head of hair. 3one people have nore .money then brains, but this nan Sharp has nore brains then heir. The games over and down tc the shower rooms we go hnd who have we here? Yes, its Hiss Patton, America's number one Debutant. She can make an egg beater talk, whip up a cake in no tine, and make a dress in less. And now last but not lecst in that noiso-naker, Mr. Tianons. He can draw all the attention out front with his weed-pullers and lawn - nowers. If it isn't the chicks squawking it's ncc- ir.os and the carpenters or he, hinself. Ee oven picks out about one good visual educational picture every week. Jell, ‘Jhat do you know? And now ny story is told, until another has rolled around it's B;;c Now . — Doris Cypher — Regina Dillion — CLASS HISTORY (Cont'd from Page 26) The Press Club has been active and its literary work has proved to be successful through the efforts of our high school pupils, in which Seniors were members of the staff. Talent in our class is by no means lacking although we did use it to a good advantage, it was not displayed to its best advantage. ]!e truly appreciate the sincere donation to our teachers to their tasks in taching us. Jo regret in learning this building to which we have become so loyal, but yet we go out more assured of the- ability to endure the trials or perform the task cbnfvonting us. ---Catherine Facchinei ---Elva Fouse

PESSIMIST Dear Classmates, Since our school days are coming to an end we will no longer be singing Dear Old Annie Laurie, but there will be other thoughts occu- pying our minds. No longer need we listen to our Seniors and not being able to speak our thoughts. We will not always be looked upon as stupid Seniors. Now if you wish to know just what our school is like, hero are some personal talents that our teachers and students possess. First of all in our line-up wo have our globe-trotting, gadabout, chubby and very intresting soul, Miss McCahan. She foes from border to border and coast to coast, and then trots right beck to tell her dear students all about the battlefields from Maine to Texes, but after a while it gets a little monotonous. Probably some years from now you vail be buying a book colled Travels by Rosy McCahan. Now wo find Miss Long playing down at first and whon she con not throw anyone out as first, look out Seniors, she is rooting for her home team. Her patience have been wearing very, very thin in the past twenty years and by jirainy I thirJc they were through. And as far as shutting their ears to the foreigh situation, you just can't my dears- hum- uum. Now I think Mr. Roosevelt would appreciate very much having a good strong Democrat for his right-hand helper. By the time wo seniors graduate we will all be poets or something . Now I see coning up to b,t that frockling, rolacking good-natured Miss Steele. I thih-you will find her pinch-hitting for that all American Star Pee-’.'ee Reese in the fifth. She is the most pathetic, energetic and most or not sympathetic person around this institution. Her favorite pet is Buddy Mellott. Now I think the manager is sending in that All American play boy, l;Ir. Hopkins. He thinks he can master any sport and P.O.D. above all. (Sometimes I wonder). He is so sweet ho attracts flies, (the kind that sticks). Duo to his muscular body and mental defects he will fair out very well in the end providing he cats enough oranges to balance his bases. Since we are down this far we shall skip across the hall to see that Mistress of languages, Mrs. Stinson. She has mastered every thing and everybody especially that timidbody in room jf4. Duo to her quiet disposition (?) she is considered the most refined and intelligent queen in any deck of cards. Next we see pulling up at third that good - looking game making, love-making specimen, Mr. Shoemaker. He tries to drown-out Mrs. Stinson with his music lessons, Bond and Chorus. He knows more about any one sheet of music than Einstein will ever know about his Atom smasher(c-hem). . Next my friend'we see that vehy 'atholeticial soul in room 4, Mr. Stinson. Sometimes we think he should havo been a public-speaker instead of Coach of the 3.L.K.3. V.'ildcats. He has always talked .mathematics and will remain to do so in the next twenty years. He even looks like o mathematician, ..'hen he resigns from S.L. he will sign up with the Super- man outfit protecting all damsels in distress. Here comes from the out-field that very energetic little man, Mr. Sharp. He can be mostly identified by his walk because when he sets his 9’s down the building fairly rocks. He is really a whiz at making out report cards which drov» to him a wide circle of friends (good and bad). You would think hydrogen very mild if you should see him explode when - 23' -

OPTIMIST tty dearest friends, Unable to find a better high school we spent four happy years at Saxton Liberty, and we do not regret it one bit. We enjoyed every day of these years even though wo did get a little provoked once in .. while but I suppose the score would be tied if we. sun up all the tines we caused the teachers to be provoked at us. Mow we are sorry we have to leave in order to make room for the Juniors. But you know tine just won't stand still. I don't believe-you could find nicer teachers any- where as they are very sympathetic, especially Miss Long who is every- one's friend. They give very reasonable assignments which the students really appreciate. The Seniors like the library very much. Vfe are very thankful for the large number of new books -fiction, non-fiction and reference books that have been available this year. We have read most of them and believe that Truth is stranger than fiction . Vfe do not object to the white lines in the halls because we realize that they are there for a good purpose and for our own benefit we arc very grateful to Mr. Timmons for enforcing these traffic laws. We think it is a wonderful idea. Most of all the Seniors appreciate the improvements made in the labatory since some of them arc taking Chemistry. Experiments and demonstrations can bo more effeciontly and easily prepared with the newly installed sinks and gas system. Vfe wish to congratulate Mr. Hopkins for the excellent girls basket- ball team he turned out this year. Vfe feel proud in saying that they were the Tussey Mountain Champions. Vfe hope that they nay gain the same title next year. Vfe would like to thank the Fross Club for their generosity in issueing us a free copy of Chips which we received almost every week. We are certain this fine paper was made possible by the cooperation of the staff and Mss HcCahan, the faculty advisor. Vfe hope that next year's staff is as efficient and if possible better. The Seniors also wish to express their appreciation for the visual education program which wc have greatly enjoyed this year. We think it is very educational and Important tc us. Mr. Timmons must be congratulated on his kindness of devoting his time to the operating of this picture machine. The Sophomore monitors are to be c ongratulated on the fine way in which they operated the monitor system. Vfe hope they continue thicr good work. All good things must come tc an end a.nd this time it seems to bo our high school days. In parting we wish to thank the Saxton Liberty High School for the four best years of our lives. - 25 -
