If j 1 j I Senior Class History E, as seniors, who soon must depart from these corridors of learning, turn the bright pages of the three years spent here. Memories assail us, some bright-huedg some dim, gray, and mis-shapeng others even romantic, rose- tinted. To know that we have tried successfully to reach the requirements of our school, that we have not intentionally done anything to cast dishonor on our Alma Mater, makes us feel happy. These have been pleasurable days-we are loathe to leave them behind, to go our sundry ways to new tasks and strange faces. Before we say adieu to Altoona High School, let us look back to cherished deeds. As Sophomores, the class of 1933 entered high school on September 4, 1930, in quest of education. Trying to look like men and women of the world, we succeeded only in appearing as what we were-just Sophomores, uninitiated in the ways of upperclassmen. On every side one heard, Could you please tell me where room 113 is? or '4Where is the auditorium? or some similar question. At first we were con- fused and awed by the size of the building, but, after many embarrassing predica- ments, in which we just couldn't appear nonchalant, we assumed, to some degree, our poise. Mr. Gilbert, our principal, who entered with the class of '33, still refers to the group as his class. Because of the precedent established, one of the most important events in the history of our class was its organization-Sophomores never before had been permitted to organize. The officers chosen were: Wilbur Kane, president, Robert Epple, vice presidentg Betty McGarvey, secretary, and Charles Pdelz, treasurer. Football season arrived at last. Although the championship was lost to that old foe, Johnstown, our team suffered only two defeats during the entire twelve games. We were more fortunate in baseball, carrying off the Blair County Baseball Pennant, .after a hard-fought battle with Williamsburg. How elated we were when we found that the large majority of the Jay Vees were Sophomores! This team was nol beaten all year. Both the boys' and the girls' basketball teams played through suc- tcessful seasons. Something new in athletics was introduced by the girls, the formipg of a hockey team. The track team made a record of which to be proud. Dramatics received a just share of time, for the English play, The Youngest, was produced under the direction of Miss Rodkey, and Friend Hannah was offered by the Girls' League. The annual show, Horseshoe Follies, in which those songs our grandfathers used to sing were revived, was a stupendous success. Would you believe it? We had one social during the year, on February 13-an Friday at that! With this excitement came the soothing f?J thoughts of mid-year exams, and to terminate all, the dreaded finals. Then, our first year in high school was over. With vacation behind us, we returned to take up our studies again, though not in so serious a manner as in the previous year. The football team, during this year, came through with flying colors, winning for A. H. S. the championship of The Western Pennsylvania District. Again the Jay Vees remained undefeated. The boys' basketball team worked hard, winning eight games out of the fourteen played. The girls' basketball team, because of a fine spirit of co-operation, achieved very satisfactory results.
