We came back in September with a new and different feeling. VVe were no longer rats, but respected Sophomores! Wie settled down to work hard and established a good reputation, but we also had plenty of good times. Early in the year officers were elected who were as follows: President, Benja- min Meeksg Vice-President, Carroll Scanlong Secretary-Treasurer, XVilliam XYarlieldg Class Historian, Marion Claserg Class Advisor, Miss Lucille Brown. A new dramatic club was organized known as the Sigma Phi Delta. This club selected many of our class as members and gave them training along dramatic lines. Several parties were held and soon, before we knew it, exams were upon us. lt was a case of the survival of the fittestf' and we passed on as Juniors. XVhen we came back to Allegany the next year we immediately plunged into work. A class meeting was held at which the following Junior class officers were elected: President, Donald Shiresg Vice-President. Elwood Mitchellg Secretary, Ifdith Christopherg Treasurer, Harry Malcolmg Class Advisor, Miss Dorothy XX'illison. As it had been the custom for the junior Class to have class rings, we set about to make a selection. Our choice pleased everyone and the rings were said to be the prettiest ever seen. A bright and artistic Junior-Senior Halloween party was staged, followed by the A. D. K. dance, Pen and Pencil Club frolic, and the Junior-Senior prom. Our girls and boys succeeded in aiding Allegany to win laurels in both ath- letic and literary contests. Many of our fair young damsels were in the famous Strutters chorus which made its debut in the production of Sweet- heartsf' Our Junior year came to an endg we felt sorry it was over but looked forward to our becoming Seniors-the leaders of Allegany. However, the class of '27 entered Allegany in September feeling as if it were composed of Freshmen and not Seniors. Our old Allegany was no more, for we were in a new and magnificent building. Everything was odd- Allegany didn't seem the same. Wle longed for the old rooms, the assembly, the library and those good old school steps. Vile missed the Allegany where we had spent those three pleasant years. But we began to forget our sorrows in the marvels of our new schoolfthe auditorium, the lockers, the gymna- sium-everything was so bright and new that we felt ashamed to he down- cast-it was up to us to be the leaders of Allegany, to instill in this new school the standards, ideals. and the spirit of the old Allegany. And so we began to like it, XYe were the leaders and we tried to do our best. Early in the year we held a Halloween dance to which everyone was invited. Soon after a committee was chosen who selected us a class pin that matched our ring. Numerous clubs were organized and the Seniors had a part in their work. Many Seniors were in the cast of Mary, In fact, in Page Z O

Amid the laughs a11d jeers of the upper classmen we were ushered dow11 i11to the cellar. Many of us thought we could 11ever survive such insults. so we banded together Zlllll declared that as free-born citizens of the United States we would show o11r tr11e worth. Our spirits were dampened a bit by the terrible drubbing given our boys by some overbearing Sophomores. but we were again happy when those same overbearing young ladies and gentlemen entertained us with a most enjoyable dance. After that we cheered up and began to take an interest i11 tl1e affairs of Ulll' IICXY abode. Wie soon became her true and active boosters and were filled with a spirit of love Zlllll esteem for Allegany. The l1lCl'6 1nentio11 of her name thrilled IIS Zlllll when we sang that Dear old high school we sang' it with as much fervor Llllfl sincerity as any of our upper classmen, for we had become a part of . Xllegany. Many of the class of '27 aided in the production of tl1e musical comedy The Gipsy Rover, and also helped to make up the atl1letic teams of our school. VVe attended two more social functions-a Kiddie party Hllfl a dance-and then our Freshman year was just a memory. Page I 9 I
