But above all events, above all social activities, our teachers stand out as lighthouses on a rock bound coast. Theirs was to guide and protect, to teach and discipline, but all this under the magnetism of love and devotion. We desire to express our appreciation of all our teachers have done for our welfare and education.

In his place was appointed Mr. Fred Bower, who stood by us the remaining years of our High School course, and proved to be a great leader in all school activities. Soon another year passed bringing us into the Junior Class with only twenty members.

During this year we went to Huntingdon to visit one of our former teachers. We also went through the Standard Steel Works and saw the complete process of making steel. This year we had our first Class Play, All On Account of Polly. which was a great success. The money raised was used for the Junior Prom, held in the Carlisle Tea Room. Last and greatest of all is our Senior year. We had only eighteen members in the class, but the number was no hindrance to us. We all worked to be superior to all other classes. The ofiicers this year remained the same as the year previous. During this year we went to Huntingdon to visit the Reformatory and also had many class parties. This year the High School had the strongest basketball team it ever had, making every game a victory. Three of the five players were from the Senior Class. We gave our Class Play, Cousins, April 7th, which also proved to be a great success. A short time later we had our Class Day and Commence- ment exercises, after which we said good-bye to our dear old Alma Mater. TWENTY
