enthusiastic athletes who have enjoyed another very successful season. Some of the big events of the year in which the accomplishments of individual mem- bers of the Senior class were strikingly -brought into prominence Were in the public debates, the music contest, the operetta, the High School play, and Com- mencement. Now the Seniors have only the cherished memories of their high school life to take with them as they Wend their way over the beaten roads of life. The futuge looks rosy as they prepare for gay college life or see ahead of them mints of gold in the business World. True they are building castles of dreams that niay soon crumble and fall in ruins but so often back of slumbers and dreamy eyes there has been the awakening of the soul. We cannot see but can only predict that these unusual students, bubbling over with vigor, enthusiasm, and joy have a brilliant future ahead of them. Those who have not yet found their individual talents must not despair, but must remember that success in life is so much a matter of concentration and perseverance. As a parting word, the hope for this fine group of young manhood and womanhood that bid farewell to Uniontown High School is that step by step, lit- tle by little, bit bit they may travel the road to success, the way ofwealth, Wis- dom and glory. 3,l lifw 1 i' f i fi x '., f is I' A -ff,12'Z'::1a,.vijL'f7, 1 XM!! lr.

For four years their life has centered about the toil,.the activities and the gay frolics that are behind the portals of Uniontown High School. The time has come to say farewell, and, at the parting of the ways let us look back over the road they have traversed to see what has been their contributions to the honors heaped upon their Alma Mater. This is an unusual class. As Freshmen they were termed unusual for at least one thing-scholastic ability. They have held that reputation intact and established a record that future classes will find it difficult to surpass. Fifty seven students were graduated with honors from a class of approximately two hundred thirty. This in itself is unusual, but the most astounding thing is that eight members of the class were tied for first place. Such a situation has never before been recorded in the annals of the school. From time to time during the high school years a student or group of students of this class have been distinguished for their talents which they have used unmindful of their own in- terests or of praise coveted for self. They were ever prompted by loyalty to Uniontown High and the aim has been to set a precedent which future classes will honor and which the class of nineteen hundred twenty-seven will remember with pride. If we were to place milestones along the road to signify each thing well done by these Seniors, there would be innumerable reminders of the leadership they have taken in the clubs promoting the study of the drama, debating, as- tronomy, and music. Much praise and appreciation is also due the earnest and 'ygf iyvy -' .arf K N-'N .f-f ,., XMIM' u WllJW N ,-- lv J f I lffffirze ,.' , Nw ,ff p N' 'i ' ' 24 H im Ii. 18

Every day of her weeks of illness we longed for her return to health and to us-But we were not to be so rewarded--We mourned that one so young, should be taken from our class comradeship. Bright in our memories to-day is Dorothy Cornish. She smiled in her life and that smile, radiating from her sweet, happy, helpful, life, has been to her classmates, during the two years since her passing away. a guiding influence. 5 ,ni- 'j ' Zifi'Y' is ZINQJ . 4 tiff W f- 1 J, - Qfr WWIW WXEEZ it -' 1 ?
