Needless to say, the baseball team captured the Blair County pennant once more, with an unusual record in tow. The track team, too, broke former records and won seven first places. A school sport, of which one hears but little, is that of tennis. Altoona can be proud of those boys! Girls' hockey, though still in its infancy, aroused much enthusiasm among the students. The debating team, under Miss McCauley's sponsorship, included four members from the Junior class, all of whom made praiseworthy efforts. Once more it was time for our class to organize. We elected William Wolfe, president, Don Thomas, Vice president, Sara Jane Martin, secretary, and Carl Robin- son, treasurer. These capable ofiicers, along with the Executive Committee, carried us through a victorious year. ' Seniors-a little superior, perhaps, but Seniors just the same! Again, that sport of sports, football. We are proud of those magnificent teams that have brought such glory to our school. Once more they have won the championship of Western Penn- sylvania. Early in November, our class organized, electing the following officers: Maurice Babe Patt, president, Charles Brown, vice president, Sara ,lane Martin, secretary, and Don Gaver, treasurer. We were kept busy with socials, the annual show, the English play entitled Skidding, the Girls' League Christmas pantomime, and the Boys' Federation drama, called A Scream in the Dark -all of which measured up to the high standard and splendid entertaining quality set in preceding years. How quickly our last year went! It wasn't long until the time came to say good- bye to school and friends. Baccalaureate, the glorious banquet, and finally com- mencement itself, all flew by with astonishing rapidity. The close of school brought two departures from old traditions: First, the com- mencement service was held at 10 o'clock in the morningg second, instead of selecting two individuals on whom to bestow first and second honors, the school authorities designated a group of students who were outstanding for scholarship attainments. From this Honor Group, student speakers were chosen to present a program built around the theme William Penn. Selections by the music department, both vocal and instrumental, and the presentation of awards completed the commencement exercises. Thus passed three happy years. The drama ended calmly, serenely, in gradua- lion. As we tread the various walks of life, we shall treasure fond memories of high school experiences, for, as some one has so aptly said, School days are one's best days. i fax. xy .5. ,t t .ae-. ix if x.
