Entering Broad Top High. The Board of Education was quite enough warning To pupils inclined toward hooky and such. Our report cards were filled with zero's and goose eggs, At home they got us in dutch. As sophomores we weren't so unruly. The rowdy onos timid—the brave not so bold. The other classmates looked upon us with envy. For we took so much room on the honor roll. As juniors wo thought wo could run the whole school, Y e had all the push that we needed. We pestered the froshics and triod to trip tho seniors, I tell you we almost succeodod I As seniors we were king3 undonied And v cre high above tho par. Quito booky bright and dignified, As all true seniors are. At last comoth graduation day. The end--ah it comes too soonl With doors all opened wide,they say Got ye honco; wc need your room. Virginia Bollman CLASS HISTORY As eight graders, in September, 1933, we came to the dock with all our luggage. We had to pass an examination before we were permitted to board the good ship Broad Top to sail in the Freshman sea. Of course,we had to take the low- er quarters of the ship, for we were the lowest titles of the crew. Mr. Eb- ner was our willing and able captain; He, along with the admirals,Miss Ross, Mr. Zimmerman,Miss Steele, Mr.Sheeler, and Ml3s Britten, wore the ones to in- struct us for the year. Although wo found that the weath- er was rather stormy, we had many good times together. Admiral Steele organ- ized a Hiking Club. Much to our sur- prise, we anchored one night and took a few miles hike in the moonlight.Cap- tain Ebner organized a girl’s Gloe Club. In the Tri-Hi-Y program, we sang The Missouri Lullaby after our cap- tain had coached us how to hold our ddlls for three weeks, even to the ex- tent of rocking a few dolls to sloop hijmsolf. At the end of our Freshman year, wo found that our ship must stop for repairs, and wo must board a now one. With many sight, wo left the ship in which wc thought wo were to sail for a few years. On this ship, we found that every thing was entirely different. A junior and senior high school had been organ- ized, as the ship was much larger, and both sailed in tho same ship. Wc found that the instructors of this ship w-oi 3 much changed about. Mr V Zimmerman was our captain,and was des- tined to be for the remaining three years. Captain Ebner and Hiss Britten had stopped at a little church along the shore and got married. With many farewells, we left them on the shore. In the midst of the Sophomore wat ers, we lost quite a few of our crew, We were sorry to have them depart, but we had to go on. We presented a tragedy play in chapel entitled, The Breaking of the Calm. It turned out to be a comedy. We were soon on the brink of the Junior Ocean. Again our instructors were changed. A few of our former ones stayed on shore, but Mr, Nave and Hr, Brown were two new ones. In our new auditorium, we had quite a few roller-skating parties. It was a fad among the crew. After our Christmas vacation, we came back to find the periods were changed. We were found running from the stern to the lower deck and boil- er room. The Sophomores challenged us to an honor roll contest. That is, the crew that got the least number on the honor roll gave the others a party.We were victorious, and spent many enjoy- able hours at this party. The few of us who took Physics went on land to visit the Penn Cen- tral Electric Plant at Saxton. One day it started to rain, and we thought it would never cease. V e weren't allowed on upper deck at all. The water got so rough that we were ’ T- in ¥ w V to f W v V jv i V •I ' iiv . V ilv x !I,Y. i V V V forced to anchor for a week We were very surprised that our Junior year had passed so quickly, when we saw Senior Bay. Again, we an- chored so our- ship might get a new piece attached, for it was already so full that the sides bulged when we breathed. We were afraid a leak might occur,and we didn’t want a catastro- phe, such as drowning all the crew in mid-ocean. About half of the original crew remained, but we constituted the best part of the seventy who were freshmen. As seniors, we were very active. We held weekly meetings in our quart- ers, which were now on upper deck. We sponsored several drives, looked after the bulletin-board in the main gang- way jand other valuable activities. The seniors held the first official dance on the ship. It was quite a success, only a few of the crew had to remain in their hammocks for a few days till they recouperated. This was the first year gyro was ever given in the ship. It gave the boys a chance to get their knuckles clean under the showers, and the girls get a little more exercise than keep- ing their shoulders straps in place. We spent quite a bit of time in choosing our graduation clothes and invitations, beside other interests. We took a picture of each organiza- tion of the crew. These were for our year book. Finally,we saw Graduation Harbor. Hero we are now, about to embark upon a life of our own,in which We sincere- ly hope to become a success. Virginia Bollman CLASS WILL While the senior class of '37 ia enjoying good health and is in its right mind, it makes this last will and testament, executed and sealed hereon the twenty-first day of May On the following individuals we make these bequests: Chester Thomas, who has a tough guy act, wishes Olaf Berglof to try his best to do likewise. Esther Thomas gives Lloyd Barton to Twilla Noel, then he will not have to walk so far. Ruth Thomas wills her clothing to Norma Foore so she can be a twin for Betty McIntyre next year.

In witness whereof, we have sub- scribed our hand and seal to this precious document, on May 21, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hun- dred and thirty soven.

Now dear teachers we will have to g° To a different school, you tmow; And that is all that we can say Until we can think some other day. Joe De Luke Dave Foore 1 Class Prophecy During the year of 1952 when I won the office of President of the United States, I was so' terribly shocked, I fell unconscious. While I was uncon- scious I had a very long dream in which I came into contact with, every student of tho class of '37, In my dream I' wandored over all parts of the world. The first place I visited was on the Western Plains. There I met Wilbert Lynn and Joe Delukc,tho two toughest cow boys in Te- xas. Of course they were the'only two cow boys in Texas at this time. Then I went on to- Chicago and at the Sportsmen Stadium, I saw George Greenland capture the World's Boxing Championship from tho undefeated Chest- er Neverhit Thomas, From Chester I learned that Theda Kline,after admiring Juniata College so long, had bodome the English teacher of that College, Then I found mysolf sailing over the bounding waves, on the good ship Lucy, Whom do you think I saw? It was Andrew Zimmerman scrubbing the decks while he sang, Don't Give Up the Ship, When I got . ashore I came to a largo alligator farm which was owned by Catherine Smith, Jick Fooro was the gate keeper. Inside the nursery, George Ney was feeding tho alligators and call ing them endearing names. Next I saw Dick Reese,Ho had a ga- rage on the Sahara Desert and didn’t understand why ho didn't get any trade, I sailed back to New York,where I found Gayle Winter omployed in tho pub- - V V 11c library. The reason she was employed there, was that she was the only person tall enough to reach the top shelf. As I walked down the street I found Henry Rankin, who was on a sit down strike. This was very damaging to traff- ic, as Henry was a professional street cleaner. He told me that Edith Edwards and Ruby Black owned a motorcycle shop, back in their home town. Then I rode out of the city and came to a farm. Imagine my surprise when I saw the milk-maids, Ruth Thomas, and Phyllis Chamberlain. The girls disliked chickens, hated pigs, and were afraid of cows. They looked nice in their outfits anyway. As I was about to leave, I saw a familiar figure coming towards me. It was Bennie Spargo and his old bull. Ben- nie had become a farmer; he hadn't changed a bit. He told me that Dorothy Axon and Elizabeth Stuart had married million- aires, and were living in large apart- ments in New York, In the next town,I saw a large lab- oratory. In it was Homoleck Scareia, the great scientist, frowning over his test- tubes. He gave a great shout. Ah! At last I have succeeded. There will be no more cancer. I passed on, leaving Homoleck re- joicing, and came to a little cottage. I peeped into the window. There were sev- eral persons inside. One of these was Walter Dickinson. He had Joined the La- dies' Aid Society for company. With him were Joan Hopkins, Lucille Whited,Esther V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V7 Thomas and Mary Snyder. They were all old maids. I stopped at Murphoys .5 Cc .10 and found Virginia Bollman as a clerk sell- ing red flannels. Virginia was always rather shy and thought maybe this job might help her in selecting a husband. Just at this time I saw John Shuke en- ter and it seemed as if Virginia had gotten her man. John bought the first pair of flannels and ‘it looked as though he were proposing, I wished them good luck and started off again. The next place I came to was a well known town. The'Ringling Brothers Circus had just begun. Imagine my sur- prise when I entered and found Wilmer Poster as their leading aerial acrobat and Velma Carnoll,as their colossal fat lady. From them I learned that some of my old friends were featured in a large movie production. I hastened to the theater and there I found that famous singing trio, Dora, Loretta,and Naomi; The Happy Hopewells. With them was Jean Replogle,who' has taken Mae West’s place in pictures. As I was leaving the theater,I saw two persons arguing very fiercely in front of the booth. Upon approach- ing them I recognized them as Glenn Stevenson and Natalie Ney. Poor Glenn was trying to argue Natalie out of buy- ing a large framed photograph of Nelson Eddy. Natalie told me that she was pri- vate secretary to the Governor of Maine and Glenn said that he had made a for- tune in stocks. I bid thorn good bye and turned to go, when a heavy set young man shoved against me. I looked around and dis- covered my dear friend Ellsworth Thomas f — iL—,—„•. ¥ ■m w I and his companion Edythe Davis. I im- V mediately congratulated Ellsworth on % .V'; ¥ vW 1 his record as a football star at the University of Pittsburg and Edythe upon M her position as a nurse in a U.S. Naval w Hospital. E 'W 4 I started to ask them a question | | ¥ but suddenly their faces faded, and I f .V came out of my coma. Right then and | i V. | there, I began to shed tears to think 1 that I should be forced to lead such an 1 uneventful life as President of the 1 f %TaEb. .' United States, while all my class mates were having such a good time. i v IV V Ellsworth Thomas Androw Zimmerman V V V ' 1 ! v IIV r j ! 7 . ! ! V 7 I : 7 V' 1 1 V' V I vi t! j v - i iv V 1 V V V V !

These included basket-ball, volley-ball, net-ball, captain-ball, hand-ball, and a little boxing and wrestling. Basketball was organized for the boys and girls.Although the teams had an unsuccessful season,it was not the fault of our fine coaches,Mr, Macalka and Miss Aulenbach. The girls also had' captain-ball and net-ball to play. Intra-mural teams were organized, and the girls played the games during noon hours. The boys had a few more sports to play than the girls. They also had intra-mural volley-ball and hand-ball In their gym classes they were given some helpful pointers on boxing and wrestling by Mr, Barton. We expect to have more sports this spring, such as, badminton and tennis. -■50CI£TI6 CLU55' The studentb of Broad Top have an excel- 1 mt chance to take part in the many extra- curricular activities of our school.These so- cieties and clubs have a fine influence on the students,both socially and educationally. The following clubs function in our school: The Sr. Dramatic Club. It has advanced greatly this year.The play, Henpecked Hero , was presented very successfully. The Microcosm Staff. The school paper is always an important extra-curricular activity The Microcosm had the honor of winning second place in the Nat.Columbia University Contest. The Trl-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Clubs. They are social as well as being character builders. The School Band. It helps advance the musical education of those people interested In music. The Library Club, Boys’ Food Club, Jr. Dramatic Club and the Vocal Chorus are a few more of the clubs. All these activities aid in making Broad Top a much better school. Homoleck Scare la Hi-Y Broad Top's Hi-Y is one of the best organizations in the school.lt is very active and has the cooperation of all its members. It has promoted some very helpful campaigns. This year the Hi-Y has taken an ac- tive part in the induction of new Hi-Y Clubs in Bedford County, and has at- tended the county rallies regularly. Although we have collected no banners this year, we were well represented every time. The latter part of this year was not as successful for the Hi-Y as it might have been. This was due to the illness of our advisor, Mr. Foore,who was succeeded by Mr. Hitchens.Although Mr. Hitchens has served us nobly, the boys have not been able to create the same Interest that they formerly had. In spite of all of these handicaps, the Hi-Y has passed a very successful year. ! John Shuke TRI-HI-Y Under the leadership of Miss Jean Mc- Intyre, the Tri-Hi-Y Club functioned as much as any other club this year. This club attended all the rallies that were given, and gave several very successful parties,most of which were given in partner- ship with the Hi-Y. The Green Hill and Saxton Tri-Hi-Y were both inducted by the Broad Top Tri-Hl-Y. The officers of the club for the year of nineteen hundred and thirty six and seven were: President-----Natalie Ney V. President--Phyllis Chamberlain Secretary-----Alice Lou Glbboney Treasurer-----Catherine Barnett Natalie Ney ■UllMgil j Ml. vm?xsz The Microcosm This year the Microcosm has really been going places.lt has increased from a four page to an eight page paper and has improved both in appearance and in contents. During the second semester the Mi- crocosm entered .in the Columbia inter- scholastic Press Association contest and received second place in the class of mimeograph papers. This was the first contest into which our paper was enter- ed. The staff was very well pleased by the results. Thirteen seniors that are on the microcosm staff will graduate this year which will be a hard blow to the school paper. However, I.lr. Robinson, Miss Young and Mr. McCavitt, are quite capable of building a new and bettor staff. Joe De Luke L DRAMATIC CLUB The Thespians,Broad Top’s dramatic club, had a very active and well organ- ized schedule this year. Throughout the year the club met every Monday. Programs were prepared for each meeting,which occupied the period after the business meeting. Besides the usual 3 act play and senior play the club presented a chapel program, several exchange programs, and numerous short sketches during their meetings. The officers for this year were: President-----John Shuke Secretary—Betty Barnett Treasurer--Ann Sacratini The club had a capacity membership until the latter part of the year when the inactive members were eliminated. The cash proceeds of the club at the end of the year were devoted to the curtain fund. Bennie Spargo THE BAND We have several members in the senior class who have been in the band since its organization in September, 1933. This year its organization was changed somewhat, by having a band li- brary in which all music was kept. On April 3rd, Mr. Sheeler, our able instructor, took the members on their second annual t,rlp to Washington to hear the Marine Band. Although the band has dwindled to some 15 members, v?e hope it v ill be built up again next year,by.the-admis- sion of Miss McIntyre’s Junior Band and other new members. Jean Replogle THE LIBRARY CLUB • This year a new club was organized at Broad Top, called the Library Club''. The club was organized by a group of girls under the efficient direction of Hiss At’lenbach. The officers elected were: President------Betty Pox V. President---Irene Thomas Secretary------Margaret Young The most noteworthy thing that the girls accomplished was the arrangement of attractive displays for the bulletin board, by a committee which the members selected. The girls learned many valuable things concerning the care of the lib- rary, and each one of them took care of the library a certain period each week. The Library Club should be of much value as a literary guide for its mem- bers, and it is to bo hoped that their influence will be felt in uplifting the literary tastes of the whole school.
