As an indication of a rise in the social position of the Juniors, they were privileged to hold two parties. To break away from the tradition that one social was sufficient during a year gave the class quite a grown-up feeling. December and April were the well-chosen months for these events. The annual class picnic and dance, at the end of the school term, brought to a close a year that the Juniors will long remember. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, is our destined end. To the students who returned from vacation in September, 1936, for their final year in Altoona High School, life was mingled with gladness and sorrow- gladness because a goal for which all had striven was near at hand, and sorrow because in nine short months the class must separate. The title Senior had an intriguing sound implying privileges and superiority heretofore unknown by the group. Underclassmen respectfully recognized the authority with which the members of the Senior Class were now vested. Although familiar with its functionings, the Seniors took a lively interest in the annual school election. After a spirited campaign, the newly-elected ofiicers were introduced at the class meeting held in November. During this month the initial class social was held. The cafeteria was used for the event, rather than the study hall which had been used for such festive occasions in former years. The second soiree was featured by the wearing of sport clothes. The third and fourth socials, both entertaining and gay, were held in March and May, respectively, the former, with green and gold predominating, featured Saint Patrick's Day as its theme. Coinciding with President Roosevelt's inauguration day, fifty-six members of the Senior Class were initiated into the National Honor Society. Doctor Carroll Champlin of Pennsylvania State College delivered an inspiring address on this occasion. Betty Crilly, Madeline Mock, and Betty Stevens were chosen by the Senior girls to represent the Altoona High School in a state-wide contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Dependability, service, leader- ship, and patriotism were the qualities considered in choosing these girls. Each of the three submitted an essay on What Constitutes Americanismf' Bet- ty Crilly's entry received the highest rating. A career conference was conducted on Saturday, March 6. It was of special interest to the Seniors because many prominent men and women discussed their respective professions and gave valuable assistance to students making a decision concerning the careers for which they were best fitted. The month of May was crowded with excitement and interest. The final Senior Assembly marked the beginning of the end. Home Room parties created a buzz of activity. Though final examinations brought a few heart attacks, there were no fatalities and a happy crowd prepared for the climax of the school year. The sermon for the graduates was delivered, as usual, in Jaffa Mosque. The theme for the commencement pageant was The Early History of Blair County. May the future bring rich rewards to every member of the 1937 Class of Altoona Senior High. Page Twenty-three
