Therefore, do not be surprised if our history happens to - be in some respects much like a great many other class chronicles jf ' you have read. There is still enough diierence to give us a per- sonality of our own. September First, four years ago, the class of 1928 assembled with the proper amount of freshman humility. Our hearts quaked with the pleasure of speaking to a senior, while the mere mention of Caesar and geometry sent our respect soaring to the loftiest heights. Of course, the spell has long since been broken g the trials and tribulations of these sub- jects combined with the problems of physics and other subjects enumer- ated in the Course of Study, have had their disillusioning efects. In September we organized as a class and elected oliicers. We chose as our class colors, Rose and Steel and as our flower, the American Beauty Rose. The motto We selected was Labor, then Honor. How well We remember the first basketball game, that with Port Royal, in which our boys participated. Little did We care for each other's toes as we watched the ball vibrate from one end of the floor to the other. Only one who has passed through such an experience can realize the ex- citement attendant upon such an event. TWENTY

I K . aff. ss g I g if -1 ff In June we left school delighted, anticipating the vacation, and most of us looking forward to becoming Sophomores in the fall. The second week of school we had a Weiner roast above Reedsville. It was a great Success. Even the teachers remarked as to how much they had enjoyed the evening. Later on, in the year we held our first bake sale in front of the Rialto Theatre, Lewistown. It was during our Sophomore year that two of our classmates were given a place on the varsity basketball team. This year, too, the Juniata Valley Basketball League was organized and we won the championship, receiving as a reward a beautiful silver trophy. Our Junior year was one of study and meditation, as the long honor rolls of that year will testify. The great problems of our lives, in the shape of physics experiments and thoughts of mighty essayists, employed most of our time. The one shadow over our high school days came during this year when one of our classmates, Mary Alice Allbright, was killed in an automobile accident. The first Mifflin County track meet was held in May of this year. Our class had a stand where we sold sandwiches and lemonade. Two of our boys won medals at the Meet. Our president won the silver medal for the best all-round athlete. The big social event of the year was the Junior-Senior prom at the Y. M. C. A.in compliment to the graduating class of -1927. They gladly admitted that we surprised them in the excellence of our entertainment and that we did them honor as Well as ourselves. And now we have come to the portal leading out of life. This last year in our high school has been one of combined study and pleasure. We have grown somewhat beyond the grind of the Junior year into the free- dom and dignity that is becoming to Seniors. The first event of this year was Dot Walker's birthday party. Other parties were held during the year. Before the holidays we sold Christmas cards to add funds to our class treasury. In March we visited the Pennsylvania Industrial Reform- atory in Huntingdon. The next month we visited the Standard Steel Works. Our class play, Tea Toper Tavern,' was given in the Y. M. C. A. in May. An educational trip to Harrisburg and a picnic brought the social . life of our school days to a close. It was then time to prepare for Class- Day and Commencement. 5444 Q 1 !2': 'ET n..ll'Q7 TWENTY-ON E
