same day. As president the Seniors elected the captain of the football team, Dean Hanley. During the year the Seniors held four socials, on November 16, January ll, February 8, and April 5. The chief features of the party held on January 11 were a kiddie-kar race and a 'chog-calling contest-though a few of the guests thought the dance and ueatsv were important. In keeping with the times, the get-together on February 8 was a depression social. The girls wore sweaters and skirts, the boys appeared without coats or neckties. The program for April 5 was planned as a farewell event. The athletic record of Altoona High was exceptional, the football team tied Bethlehem for the state championship and the basketball team won the champi- onship of the Tri-County League and of Districts five and six. The Seniors gave their hearty support to both teams. The social activities of the year came to a close with the Senior Banquetv held in Jaffa Mosque on June 3. The sermon for the graduates was delivered on June 2. The commencement exercises featured a celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the American High School. This dramatic presentation showed the change in costumes, school buildings, methods of teaching, and curriculum, from the time of the first high school to the present day. The first scene, de- picting life inthe Boston Latin School founded in 1635, gave peculiar methods of teaching used, subjects taught, and punishments inflicted. The second act portrayed a visitors, day in the Philadelphia Academy in 1751, with Benjamin Franklin, president of the Board of Trustees, as a distinguished guest. The next picture was that of a female academy in 1830. In those days educators thought that girls were not endowed with sufficient intelligence to master the curriculum planned for boys, hence education for girls was confined to such courses as painting and sewing, with limited academic training. The fourth scene reproduced a part of the commencement of Altoona High School in June, 1877, when there were only six graduates. The fifth and last act gave a com- posite picture of life in Altoona High as it is today. The Class of 1935 goes onward, not to three months of Vacation but to a new life. The graduates face uncharted seas but, as is always true of Youth, they go Into the blue or into the black, Onward, outward, never back. Page Nineteen
