The first thing of real value is the editing of the paper. Anyone who is on the editorial board is receiving real training in critical ability. Whoever is the editor or business manager is getting full benefit of almost all the difficulties that a business man gets. The editor learns how to go at a thing in order to accomplish the desired results. He does not gain his knowledge by having some one tell him. but must read and study it all out for himself. The editor must be persistent in his efforts and not put oft his work on somebody’s else shoulders. He has full responsibility of the publication, and if anything goes wrong, he must take all the blame. The business manager also meets hard knocks. He must go out and obtain the advertisements lor his paper as this is one of the best ways of financing it. 'I'he business manager must keep his books so that any time he can give a statement of the finances. I he next thing of value to a student is printing. Printing is a good business and there are many opportunities for a good printer. We do the printing of our monthly edition and the members of the print shop receive practical education from their own experience in connection with it. From its experience in publishing the monthly paper the Editorial Board has no doubt of the practical value of school publications. The slogan they give to next year’s board is: Responsibility, Persistence and Good Hard Work. Adrian Rowe ’27 WHAT DOES THE ATHENIAN MEAN TO YOU? The Athenian is your school paper and it is as much your duty to support The Athenian as it is to support the football team. The Athenian is just as much a part of the school as the football team. If you do not support the football team by going to the games and helping them by cheering them, they are not a success. The Athenian cannot be a success if you do not buy it and give it support by writing for it. If you have any pride in your school, you will try to improve The Athenian because the paper reflects on the school, and if it is not a progressive, up-to date paper, the town will think that the school is not progressive or up-to-date. Let’s not allow this to be said about our school or our school paper, but make The Athenian a success. Harlan Rowe ’28 Page elevou. CLASS HISTORY I lie great and glorious class of 1927! W ho wouldn't be proud to say lie was a member of that class.' When we started on our career in high school, we were but children. But now that we are ready to pass out, you would hardly recognize in us the children we were a few years ago. Besides height we have gained dignity and knowledge. How well do we remember when we were nothing but frightened Freshmen ! W e were so shy and bashful that the teachers couldn’t help but like us and they have never changed their minds. That year we did scarcely anything but study and dodge the upper classmen. W e organized alter mid-terms with Sumner Drake, president; Marian Newman, vice-president; Reginald Bablal, secretary; Hilda Page, treasurer. The only class activity was an ice cream social. But the second year was when we really got started. Of course we knew more then (much that we found out afterwards isn’t so) and more was expected of us. Our officers were Charles Mills, president; Harry Horn, vice president; Lucile Overfield, treasurer; Richard Johnston, secretary. Our first enterprise was giv ing a welcoming party for the Freshmen. W e remembered how good it made us feel when we were Freshmen to have a party given for us and I’m sure we made the Freshmen feel just as welcome. W hen the football season was at hand, our class won first prize for selling the highest number of football tickets. In an essay contest in the history classes between the Sophomore and Junior girls, Amelia Kelley carried oft the prize for the Sophomores. Before Faster we gave a dance and a little later we helped the Freshmen give a party. And so our second year was over. 1 hen came the next stage in our high school life. We were Juniors. We elected Richard Johnston, president; Gerald Bustin, vice-president; Raymond Horn, secretary; Mr. allilee. our able bodied class teacher, treasurer-all men—but they did very well. We had a big Hallowe’en dance, a picture at the Morley, and then another dance. But we didn’t seem to have the right spirit for none of these enterprises were exceptional. But with the beginning of the new year we turned over a new leaf and made everything a success. e sold jello—and jello—but we made our commission on it. And then the Junior plays! Much of the hidden talent was brought out in those four plays. Elizabeth Loveland kept up the high standard of the class and the high school by winning first prize in the interclass speaking Page twelve contest and second prize in the county speaking contest at Towanda. The Junior-Senior banquet was considered the big event of the year. The Juniors spent a lot of time in order to give the Seniors a good time and 1 guess we enjoyed it as much as the Seniors. At the end of the year we got a prize for having the highest number of perfect half days’ attendance during the year: so we were well paid for getting up so early every morning. In all, we had a very peaceful and prosperous year with Richard president of the class and also president of the high school. Suddenly we were Seniors. There always was something magic about that word. I suppose it’s just being a Senior. The class showed its usual good sense by electing Richard president. The other officers are Elizabeth Loveland, vice-president; Bessie Hartford, secretary; Mildred McCauley, treasurer. The class gave a Thanksgiving dance and also a (. hristmas dance. That Christmas dance was the largest and the best one we ever had. In order to make more money for the class we sold candy at various times during the year. We found that that was the best way to raise money, especially since we were fortunate in having Ervin Torpey in our class, and how would the class have managed without Adrian and Dick : Adrian is invaluable in the print shop, printing our Athenians and with Dick as business manager The Athenian is bound to succeed. 1 he rest of our time in high school was spent in studying and practicing for the operetta and the Senior play. Thus ends the “short and simple annals” of the class of ’2 . 1 he four years we have spent here have been all too short as we look back on them. Here’s hoping that the years in the future will he just as eventful and as successful. • Mildred McCauley, ’27 AN ATTEMPT Why! I can’t write a poem ! It’s more than I can do; I haven’t the gift That would uplift Thoughts to rhyme. How will I work it? I simply can’t shirk it; I suppose T might trv a sonnet (But wait till the editors gaze on it) Aw Gee! A poem by me! And yet I must have one. Mi ss Curtiss has said it, T’ll bet she’ll he sorry— When she has read it. Amelia Kelley ’27 rage thirteen S E N I O R S “She does GLADYS BENSON no work by halves.” No one will dispute this fact for we all know how high ‘‘Benny’’ stands in her studies and her success as Athenian class editor is shown by the standard she has reached.

Page twenty-two CLASS PROPHECY Dear Mr. Vallilee: As you were sponsor of our class for three years, I rather thought you would he interested to know what has become of us. Of course 1 realize you are a busy man now, but I think you will enjoy hearing of our recent doings. The train sped along toward its destination and I began to get my baggage together. 1 could hardly wait to see all the old crowd again. Ten years! “Tempus sure does fugit.” After I finished college, a rich uncle died leaving me his fortune and I promptly went abroad taking along “Dutch McCauley. She visits me in my studio and is much interested in my success as an artist. She is a capable secretary of the Prince of Wales and her early training as a nurse comes in handy when H. R. H. comes a cropper. We ran across our “Sue,” now the celebrated Dr. Wright, who, with her co-worker, Dr. Ervin Torpey, has a brilliant practice in Vienna. They are assisted by the capable nurses, Helen Catlin, Josephine Coveney, Hazel Roberts and Mabel Smith. On a certain busy street in Paris you will find the exclusive little shop of Mile. Dorotee. You would scarcely recognize in this famous woman “Dot” Stuck. The years have brought her dignity and height. Imagine it! Letters have kept me posted on the doings of most of the class. Louise Macafee has had a nervous breakdown, due to managing a huge summer resort. Beatrice Manahan had given up the pipe organ as she said she felt so childish playing with her feet. Helen Maloney and “Soupy’ Campbell are expected soon with their husbands. Paloma Hulett, Esther Campbell and Genevieve Kinner are traveling in Egypt. I have just finished reading Harvey Rettberg’s latest book entitled “The Ghost of Lovers’ Lane or The Masked Bandit,” which is going over big in the United States. Bessie Hartford is a teacher of home economics at Bryn Mawr and Mildred Brown is a successful history teacher in Smithfield. It is rumored that the famous violinist, Adrian Rowe, is to come to Athens for the reunion. Of course everyone knows of the Johnston Candy Co., founded by our old president “Dick.” He is making a fortune in his consignments to Senior classes. In his employ are Hilda Page. Eva Newtown. Gladys Benson and Esther Montgomery, highly paid secretaries. I hear Gerald Bustin is a much talked about poet and Richard Keeler is astounding Europe with his research on spontaneous generation in Berlin. Raymond Horn is a rising young lawyer and a future political boss. Page twenty three I came across on the good ship Curtiss-Crediford, commanded by no other than our old friend Al” Carpenter, who conducts co-educational student tours. On board was “Ed” Manahan returning from the Olympic meet where he captured a few first places. Ted Shumvvay’s incomparable orchestra was playing on the boat and he is fast becoming a rival of (ieorge Olsen and Paul W hiteman. My thoughts ran on and before I knew it, the conductor called “Next stop, Athens,” and the train slowed to a stop with grinding brakes. How good it seemed to be home again and how peaceful Athens looked! A horn screamed and looking up I beheld a low-slung car approaching, driven by the dashing “Fran” Layman who, in her saner moments, is an excellent physical training instructor at W ellesley. With her is the former Elizabeth Loveland who has posed as the Madonna for so many of my portraits. 1 jumped in and we dashed off down the street amid breathless questions and still more breathless answers. 1 learned that Winifred Maguire that very day had been run down by the recently-installed noiseless street cars, and that Herbert Bidlack, the peach-king of the south, who alwavs evinced a liking for peaches in his high school days, had just arrived. As we passed the old United, we saw the big circus man “Eb” Brewer, formerly known as the cigar store Indian, talking with Charles Thorp, the noted football coach. W e drove on down the road and drew up in front of the house. “.See you later,” I called as I went into the house. Home after all these years! Tonight we would be together again for a short time—all too short. No matter what the years may bring, our hearts will always hold a place dear for Athens and our high school days. Sincerely, Amelia Kelley THE STORM I love the hustle and the rustle, That comes before the rain; The excited little flurry, As leaves whirl down the lane; Little children run about To gather in some toy. Mothers call and windows fall, Doors bang, then all is still. Trees sway as though in fear. A distant growl of thunder A flash—the storm is here! Amelia Kellev '27 Page twenty-jour PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Fellow students and classmates of 1927, when you leave this school you are leaving the happy-go-lucky days and carefree moments of your high school life. In the last four years when you felt like lying down on the job, you had several teachers pushing from behind and helping you along. They wouldn’t let you fail. After this year, what then? Most of you little realize how much you have relied upon this help. Now that you are through, you are on your own; start paddling your own canoe and make your motto the same as it has been for the last four years, “M e lead, others follow.” The knowledge that you have gained in these four years is the momentum you have when you leave. Make the most of this momentum, and with your success you will have paid the debt you owe to your Alma Mater. As we leave this school we are treading the same path that other classes have trod. In our wake is the class of 1928. They have been very friendly and there has been none of the rivalry that other upper classes have experienced. Next year they will step up and take our place and to them we extend our best wishes for their success. Richard Johnston '27 STATISTICS The members of the Senior Class have held a prominent place during their four years in high school. The following table shows the per cent of their number engaged in various high school activities: 1924 1925 1926 1927 Football 20 20 20 20 Basketball 10 34 34 Baseball 7 32 21 Music 15 18 27 27 Dramatics SENIOR PICTURES 97 100 “Oh, look, girls! Isn’t he cute?” “Isn’t he tho?” “Ah, bless his heart.” “Isn’t that too cute for words?” “Here’s a cute one! I bet it’s Torpey, isn’t he cunning?” “I like that one best, it’s Dick Johnston.” “I think Herbert’s is awfully cute, here it is, isn’t it cute, tho?” “And I think Harvey’s is just darling, don’t you?” Don’t be alarmed, dear readers; it’s only the Senior girls rhapsodizing over the baby pictures. Hazel Roberts ’27 CLASS SONG Tune: Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland. Our hearts are sore, School days are o’er; Out in the wide world we wander; We’ll be all alone, All on our own. There’ll be no teachers to guide us; But may we all stand life s hard test And meet again at A. H. S. CHORUS Meet me again in Athens, Down where the river flows, Teachers and pals of school days, Forgetting cares and woes. May fate be kind to each one With smiles and plenty in store; We’ll meet again at old Athens High School, Teachers and pals once more. Go east or west, Home is the best; Fond memories cling round the old ways; And through the years, Those we hold dear Will be the friends of our school days. May we each one have success, And meet again at A. H. S. Elizabeth Loveland ’27 Oh. what a joy to be One of the class of ’twenty-seven ! The only one in sixteen years To even rhyme with heaven. Elizabeth Loveland ’27 m lemau THE CLASS OF e, the class of twenty-seven, Once were twelve times seven; And tho we have been quite decreased, Never have our struggles ceased. All athletics we surely attend, e’ve always a helping hand to lend; We have always been as one, 1 hrough our work and through our fun. Football players we have but five. To do their best, they always strive, Each one plays with all his might, Ever true throughout the fight. In dramatics we won the day, We’ll carry these laurels for aye; We produced them all with work, Not one of us was trying to shirk. In home economics our girls stand high. Some day their ability, they will apply. We have some very good little cooks. And you can tell that by their looks. We might have an orchestra in our class, Our musicians you could never surpass. We’ve violins, cornet, drums, and banjo, Ukuleles, clarinet, saxophone, and piano. We also have some artists fine. They draw with almost perfect line. And then some day with this array. On the path of fame they will stray. We’ll send forth praise for glad schooldays, When merry voices we will raise. And our class song will trill. O’er and o’er these beautiful hills. Beatrice Manahan ’27 Page twenty-eight (('Ar The Class of '28 entered high school with an enrollment of eighty-six members. e were entertained bv the Sophomores, as is the custom, to make us better acquainted with high school life.

As it was our turn to entertain the Freshmen we gave them a welcom-ing party. We took an active part in the interclass oratorical contest. The following contestants represented our class; Olive Walt, Carol Rogers, and Seeley DeKay. Olive Walt won first prize. We entered as Juniors with an enrollment of about forty members. As the Juniors are allowed to have the Hallowe’en dance, we put it on this year as is the custom and made a success of it. which added quite a little sum to our treasury. We put on some plays before the high school which were also successful. Xext year as Seniors we hope to carry out our high school course as successfully as it has been in the last three years. If I could paint the things I see, Things most beautiful they would be. I’d paint a sunset of flaming gold. Where streamers of crimson unfold. I’d picture the moonlight Glowing o’er a great sand dune. O. what a wondrous night! The desert by the light of moon! I’d paint a bird on wing; ’Twould be a beautiful thing; I’d make its color blue— That’s happiness for me and you. Margaret Cullen ’28 THE ARTIST Josephine Tremaine ’28 i Page thirty = W JjthenKm’Q JUNIOR CLASS Page thirty-one At HIGH SCHOOL GOVERNMENT The high school government was organized in April. 1911. A committee consisting of Elsie Xevins, chairman, Thomas Harris. Evelyn Hall, Ora Hav-eilv, and Rex Stephens, wrote a constitution modeled upon the constitution of the I nited States. This was adopted by the high school. Miss Curtiss was elected president of the school. 1 he successors in the presidency were as follows: Leon Loomis, Harold Sutton, Ward Weller, Arthur Baxter, William Rinebold, Kirby Harris, Walter Lunger, Paul Havens, Erederick Brown, Wendell Andrews, Audrielle Lynch. John Ward. Richard Winters. Richard Johnston, and Charles Mills. Harold Sutton was the first vice-president of the high school. Directly after the election of Miss Curtiss, the Senate and the Assembly were organized. Students having twenty points were members of the Senate. All other students were members of the Assembly. Harold Sutton was the first president of the Senate. Lloyd Palmer was the first speaker of the Assembly. President Mills appointed his cabinet for 1927 as follows: Attorney General .........................................Adrian Rowe Secretary of the Treasury..................................Harry Drake Secretary of Social Affairs ....................Albert Carpenter Secretary of Stage Properties .......................Elva Grant Secretary of Banking .............................Amelia Kelley Secretary of Foreign Affairs ............... Katherine Maloney Secretary of Interclass Activities ..... Milrae Matteson Secretary of Athletics ............................Frank Schrier Secretary of School Publications ............. Frances Layman Secretary of Publicity ............................Ellen Wright The supreme court consists of the following: Chief Justice, W. D. Morse: Associate Judges, Miss Curtiss, Mrs. Scanlon. Mr. Leon Loomis, Dr. Harold Weller. Mr. John Weller, and Helen Maloney. I'he 'Trial Court consists of the following: Judge, Mr. Hazard: Clerk. Raymond Horn; Court Crier. Robert Russell: Tipstaff, James Mannix : District Attorney, Tracy Converse: Public Defender. Ervin Torpey. Athens High School under this form of government is a true democracy. Every student has a vote and can express his own opinion on any subject that may arise in Congress. Thus the student has a sense of responsibility and takes greater interest in carrying out his school work. This keeps the school in line with modern ideas of discipline. - CLASS HISTORY The C lass of '29 entered high school with an enrollment of eighty-nine students. They were duly entertained bv the Sophomores at the annual welcoming party for Freshmen. At Thanksgiving time they, with the Junior class, gave a dance. At the beginning of the second semester the class was organized and the following officers elected: president. Howard Brown; vice-president. Philistia Smith; secretary. Harry Drake; treasurer. Alfred Coughlin. Philistia Smith resigned and Melva Epders was elected to take her place. About this time the Archons were organized. Only one bake sale was given throughout the year. Mention should also be made of a prize of ten dollars wh«ch was won in 1926 for securing the highest number of paid subscriptions for the Annual. The Class of ’29 entered the Sophomore room with fiftv-one students on the roll. Immediately it was organized and the officers elected. They are as follows: President ................................................Paul Hair Vice-President ...............................Esther V inters Secretary ....................................Milrae Matteson Treasurer .................................... Harry Drake Historian ...............................................Alice Huff SPRING Spring is on its way with scents so sweet. That remind us of flowers and summer heat; Bluebells grow in wooded dales. Creeks run rushing through little vales. Birds and breezes fill the air. And violets are blooming everywhere; Sunshine bright makes flowers bloom ; The fishing season follows soon. Apple blossoms on the way Remind us of the coming May; And birds and creeks and breezes sing. Only of Spring. Spring. Spring.

What’cha think I'll write about? I didn’t study that old junk. 1 just know I’m going- to flunk. After the “exam” on my card You’ll see shining like clover Old red ink smeared all over. What will my folks say, When I sneak my card on the table. All prepared with a nice long fable, “It’s the teacher’s blame!” I won’t tell her name Because I’m afraid they’ll write a letter To see if I can’t do better. Betty Howey '30 ROBIN REDBREAST I know that spring has come again, For Robin Redbreast’s here. I heard him sing his cheerful song, With voice so sweet and clear. He calls to all the lovely flowers, And wakes them from their sleep, And when they hear his voice They soon begin to peep. Of all the birds who come in spring, I love the Robin best; He’s dressed in such a stylish suit And very handsome vest. Carol Rogers ’28 INSIDE THE GATE There’s a gate at the foot of the mountain. And it opens wide for you. If you’d but take the hint, friend, And walk right up and through. There’s a path that’s crooked and narrow. And a path that’s wide and straight; There’s a way to win the world, friend, If you don’t take the path too late. The end of the broad and straight one Is like the long dark night. And T hope, my friend, we don’t see it, After the end of the fight. Mary Struble ’28 Page thirty-six ■ CLASS HISTORY The Freshman Class on entering high school numbered ninety-two, but is now composed of eighty-four members. The officers are as follows: President .....................................Helen Heavner Vice-President ..................................Harold Beach Secretary .......................................Howard Long Treasurer ........................................Roy Coombs Historian ........................................Betty Howey Sergeants-at-Arms ................James Mannix, Charles Long The officers are doing all they can to boost and better the class. The class editors for The Athenian are Helen Heavner and Howard Long. The Archon Society composed of Freshman boys is now the only society in the Freshman class. This year for the first time, a Freshman, Howard Long, is the Speaker of the Assembly. Some other offices are filled by Freshmen: Secretary of Assembly, Donald Hedrick; Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Catherine Maloney. There were four Freshmen who received letters this season for football. This is unusual since Freshmen very seldom receive varsity letters. The four students who were capable of doing this are Charles Long, Howard Long, Donald Hedrick, and James Mannix. The Freshman girls also made a good showing in basketball this season, and we expect to turn out some real stuff in the future. Betty Howey VO THE ARCHON SOCIETY The purpose of the Archon Society, which is composed of Freshman boys, is to study parliamentary law. The boys of the Freshman class were admitted to the organization and instructed under the direction of Adrian Rowe. The society meets every Wednesday for a parliamentary drill. They have had a bake sale which was held at Jones’ clothing store to raise money to pay for their picture in the Annual. They gave a dance in the High School Gym, which was largely attended. The Archon Society has been stronger this year than in former, years. It has carried out more business and taken more part in the different activities in the high school than is usually taken by Freshmen. The former members have had a basketball team, but on account of the school league basketball teams the society did not have a team this year, but they are planning a baseball team instead.

They are the Choral Club, Art Club, Dramatic Club, Hikers’ Club, Boys’ Athletic Club, Indian Lore Club, and the Junior Orchestra. The Choral Club is under the supervision of Mrs. Baxter. The members hold their business meeting in the 8B room and then adjourn to the Music room to sing or study music. The Dramatic Club is under the supervision of Miss Lindsley. They hold their meetings in the 7A room. The members study plays and then present them in chapel. The Hikers’ Club is divided into two sections, one for the boys and one for the girls. Miss Taylor has the girls, and Mrs. Crediford, the boys. Every other week the members visit a factory or shop to learn about the industry. The Art Club is under the supervision of Miss Conner. 'I hey hold their meetings in the Art room. The members learn more about the art of drawing and painting. The Boys’ Athletic Club is under the direction of Mr. Olson. The members practice basketball one hour every Monday. 1 hey stage a game about every week. The members of the Indian Lore Club visit the places where the Indians used to live to study their habits and customs. 1 his is under the direction of Mr. Crediford. The Junior Orchestra is under the supervision of Miss Bush. They practice during the club hour. The various clubs meet Monday afternoon at three o’clock. During the business meeting the rules of parliamentary law are observed. Justine Cullen 8B The increased demand upon the schools in the modern trend of education presented some difficult problems, which to solve, challenged some of the keenest minds in our country. Experienced men and women who have given the best years of their teaching brought about the Junior High School movement which is recognized as a distinctive organization today. Our own state, Pennsylvania, has raised the standard of her schools during the past ten years and after careful study of surveys began to establish legalized Junior High Schools. There are about sixty-six such organizations in the state, four of which are in Bradford County, and one of these in Athens Boro. Great tasks confront the Junior High School, but it has secured its place at last, and has come to stay. The objectives are of the highest type and offer to the boys and girls of the adolescent age many advantages which the old system could not meet. The general aim of our Junior High School is to give a well developed course in the so-called common branches, with periods long enough for recitation and directed study. Both oral and written Hnglish are being cone lated with all regular work. Special attention is given to health and health habits. Many opportunities are offered in the various clubs to develop social and recreational activities which are commendable in those concerned. The established Junior High School of Athens Boro was made possible this year only by the hearty co-operation and loyal support of the students and teachers together with the supervising principal and county superintendent. '1'hrough their untiring effort it is hoped that some provision can be made for the individual differences. W e trust that the organization may be maintained and that our boys and girls of Athens may have richer, purer and cleaner lives because of its existence. Carrie B. Crediford.

The Alumni Association and the Ladies Library Club together donated funds toward the equipment. Our present teacher.

The prospects for a larger and much better print shop next year are very good. 1email ARCHON SOCIETY ONCE IN A BLUE MOON Following the custom of the last few years the High School chorus produced an operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon,” at the Morley theater. The romance centers around young George Taylor, alias Boh Harrington, and Sylvia Montgomery. Bob has been at college for four years. While there he had fallen in love with another girl, and when he received an invitation to attend the Spanish Fiesta at the Montgomery home he sent instead his roommate. George Taylor, who closely resembled him. The predicaments of his roommate and how he discloses his identity were brought out in a very pleasing fashion and the romance ended in the approved style.

VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM SENIORS Edward Manahan, Height 5:5, Weight 145 For four years Ed has been on the squad and for two he has been on the team. This year he received his reward and was elected captain. The high school has never seen a better tackle or captain than Ed Manahan, and we certainly appreciate the way he treated the whole team. Albert Carpenter, Height 5:7, Weight 140. Ever since September, 1923, the team has seen a little curly-headed youngster hanging around the gridiron; the last two years, however, this youngster became famous and played halfback on the team. His name is Carp to everybody and he certainly played good football till injuries kept him out. Ervin Torpey, Height 6:0, Weight 225. Erv is the pet of the team because he is so tiny and he is also quiet— he never says a word! But for all of his talkativeness, he was certainly a capital guard and was always there to break up a play that had the misfortune to try to get through his territory. Adrian Rowe, Height 5:10, Weight 145. There is one man who never got any credit, but who always got all the blame. If the water happened to be a little cold for about twenty-five fellows’ baths, it was said to be his fault. It isn’t everybody that could hold down a job like that and still be good-natured. Ade, we all want to express our gratitude to you for your services last fall as manager. JUNIORS Thomas Spear, Height 5:11, Weight 153 In the big leagues a football player like Tom would be called an all-around man because he was good wherever he was put to play. This year Tom played center and showed such ability in that position that he was elected captain for 1927. We know that Tom will do his share to turn out a successful team and we also know that the fellows will do their share. Good luck. Tom. Daniel Loveland, Height 5:10, Weight 145. This year the coach was puzzled. Where could he find a good halfback? He wasn’t puzzled long, however, because, as they say, you can't keep a good man down and Dan turned out to be the very man the coach was looking for. He could always be looked for to carry the ball at least three yards. Charles Mills, Height 5:11, Weight 155 Charlie was the only one on the squad who played every minute of every game. This was because no one could fill his “boots”—do what he could with the boys. This was “Benny Jr’s.” first year on the team. Charlie is a natural born athlete, and he sure did show the “vets” a little about football. While on the offensive he was our captain and assistant captain on the defensive. (Written by Albert Carpenter ’27) SOPHOMORES Harry Drake, Height 5:9, Weight 153 This year the coach was under great difficulties because he knew he must have nearly a whole new line. He was especially worried over who would lill the tackle position as a mate to Torpey. This difficulty was soon solved when he discovered Harry, who has two more years and the high school is very glad of that. Edward Daniels, Height 5:4, Weight 130. To the great glee of the football team we had a midget; in fact, we had two of them. They played on either end; the smaller, however, played left end and for all his size he certainly knew how to play that position and especially how to grab passes out of the air. Ed, we will expect great things of you in the future. Paul Hair, Height 6:0, Weight 152. For many years there has been a Hair on the high school football teams. This year there was no exception to the rule, and Paul is just as good as his predecessors and perhaps a little better. Many times his toe has got us out of a tough hole and many times he has made some fine gains for the team. He played fullback. Leonard Edsall, Height 5:10, Weight 160 Ten was also another all around man, the coach using him in at least three or four different positions. It is generally known that such a man is a valuable asset to a team and Len surely lived up to this rule. The team was very glad that we had such a man as Len as he often proved himself a godsend to the coach. FRESHMEN Charles Long, Height 5:7, Weight 187 Charlie was a whale of a fullback and also a regular Beau Brummel; at least every night he was the last to get out of the dressing room, but, nevertheless, Charlie was always there when we needed three or four yards and he was always the one who crashed through the opponents’ line with the most ease. He played his .star game at Waverly. Donald Hedrick, Height 5:9, Weight 145 Don is surely a comer. Everybody says so and he proved that he had the stuff in him which makes good football players. At guard he was always ready to break up any play that started through his territory and always ready to make a hole for our own backs to go through. It was certainly a pleasure to play behind Don. Good luck next year, Don. James Mannix, Height 5:5, Weight 125. There was one player at least who seemed to be born a natural football player and lie surely proved his ability in the Sayre game. This player is Jimmie Mannix and it was his toe that kicked a beautiful dropkick from the forty-yard line. Jim is a coming star and some day we hope to see him playing end on the Chicago Bears. Good luck, Jimmie. Howard Long, Height 5:8, Weight 150. Howard was surely a tough luck player this year. He was first out on account of one of his legs and then something would happen to one of his arms; but in the Towanda game there didn’t seem to be much wrong with him because he gained more ground than any man on either team. Nobody seemed to know who that flashy young halfback was before the game, but everybody did afterward. Howard is an eleven second man. Coach John Olson, Height 6:1, Weight 185. We all realize the great difficulties Coach Olson had to overcome this year, lie had to build a new team out of practically all inexperienced players. There were two old players that returned and Mr. Olson surely sacrificed a whole season to round a team up so that we might have a winning team the following year. We all heartily appreciate the sacrifices Mr. Olson has made this year, and we all certainly wish that he would return to coach the winning team we will have next vear. Poor Ed! At the close of the Towanda game he left the field a hero, sore and lame.

Not even a date. “I must gather my wits And pass the exam,” So he grabbed his books And started to cram. “I’ll first get my Virgil, And then my Burke; And then there is Physics, Which 1 must not shirk.” But he suddenly remembered That he had a date; So he kept it that evening And came home rather late. And when he got home. He went to his bed; And studied not To fill his head. The morning came, And he met his fate; He flunked the exam, But he kept the date. j .. t There once was a guy named Mush, Who always ran around in a rush; But he met his fate, One day he was late, And the teacher said “Tush-Tush.” , , There once was a gay young lass, Who went to catch a bass; She threw in her hook, And then took a look Aw! old stuff.

And I was so scared I couldn’t stir. I grabbed at it there And got a handful of hair Then it scratched me on the neck And 1 yelled out loud, “Oh heck!” hen I got it off I heard it spit and cough.

A great deal of credit is due Adrian Rowe, editor-in-chief, and Richard Johnston, business manager, for their persistence which largely made this year book possible. Dorothy Stuck and Frances Layman should be highly praised for their work on the characteristics and records of the Seniors. They were assisted by Helen Maloney, who was very efficient help. Their comments are unusually good inasmuch as they are appropriate, and well suited to each student. Bessie Hartford and Esther Montgomery had rather a tedious job of compiling the class statistics which form valuable records of different activ ities of the four years spent in high school. Charles Mills did some very good work on the Varsity Football Team records. Albert Carpenter and F.lizabeth Loveland performed the painstaking work of reading the manuscript and proof very efficiently. We also thank the advertisers for their spirit of co-operation in helping to make our monthly paper a success as well as this publication. The foreword and conclusion were written by Ellen Wright.
