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 -

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

History of Class of '41 Little did we realize that we were making history for ourselves when we entered the Saxton Liberty High School building on the beginning of September, 1937, as Freshmen. We did make four years of history for Saxton Liberty and this history will probably not be known to the world but to U3 it is a vital part of our lives. It played a great part in molding into us the qualities which are possessed, although some of our class possess more than others and this difference is due to the effort that we have individually put in. As Freshmen we entered the building bewildered at the sight of every- thing new. We wondered at what new experiences we were going to be pushed into. Y»’e entered as groups from Saxton Borough, Liberty Township, Cherrytown and Coalmont Borough. After a few days we became accostomed to the a torn sphere and came to the conclusion that everything was going to be full of excitement and we really became part of the school. We each stuck to our own group, each group at their own corner, but we soon found out that it was much more fun to' associate. Our Sophomore class was increased with t he addition to students from Carbon Township who had been formerly gone to Dudley High School. Our Junior year ended the three years of underclassmen, and it seemed to fly by unnoticed. It was a year full of social gatherings. The moonlight hike, the hay ride, and various other functions which proved very successful. The Junior-Senior Prom proved to bo at the peak of our social activities. Mr. William Hopkins, our coach and health instructor and Hiss Dorothy Patton the Home Economics teacher • have taken the places of Mr. Graham and Miss Albright who have taught their last year at Saxton Liberty when we were Sophomores. As the Senior Class of '41 we entered the high school in September 1940 and our class again increased with the addition of a group from Dudley High School. Members of our class have been loyal members of the-, football and basketball teams. The Seniors have been very active as members of the Varsity Club which is it's second year of existence in Saxton Liberty. In the field of music the Orchestra, the Dutch Band and the Octett have been orgainized and its success is due partly to the Seniors not mentioning the Band and Chorus. Conti nued on Page 24. 26 -
