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

Thelma has been with her dear Alma Mater for four long, yet short years, and has reached her goal of becoming a digni- fied senior, and she is truly dignified. She is one of the most studious pupils in the commercial department. She always gets her bookkeeping finished on time-a rare thing! Thelma is always interested in see- ing A. H. S. get ahead in anything it under- takes and enjoys a victory for the school as well as any of us. Now, Class of '27, here is something to think about! I wonder why they call her Johnny! THOMAS ANDERSON l4T0,nv1! Chemistry Club 4-lj. The young gentleman pictured here came to us this fall from Central. He immedi- ately got the old Allegany spirit, and be- came one of her active boosters. Tom seldom misses one of our games, for he's always there with his husky voice to cheer our men on to victory. Since his short stay at Allegany, Tom has made a host of friends. This fact, we believe, is due to that ever-ready smile of his. No matter what the weather, Tom has a cheery greet- ing for his friends. We do not know what Tom expects to do after he leaves Allegany, but we wish him the best of luck in all his undertakings.

Her pwesevzfe drives dull 1-are away. The smiling countenance pictured here is none other than Helene Andrews. Helene is a charming blonde-a real blonde, too. She needs no detailed description because every one knows her, and to know is to admire. She is cheerful as the day is long. She's kind and helpful, too. Helene is quite a talented act1'ess. You will probably re- member her in Rooms To Let. I don't know what she has scheduled for the fu- ture, but one with such a sunny disposition couldn't help but succeed. Three cheers for Helene!
