We were one hun- dred forty-one strong, but since that time some of our members have decided to remain another year to prepare for junior High School work while others have come into our class so that now we 1'1L11'l'1bC1 'fWO hundred six I including the Summer School students and those taking Extension Courses. ti-Q 07, Vi' S The Class of ,24 has now reached its letter days and we pause to look back over its brief career and in doing so we are able to recall many pleasant experi- ences. I The greaterpart of the first week after our arrival was spent in the Book Room indulging in the novel past time of investing some of Dad's hard earned money in books, which at first some of us thought were for the purpose of decorating our book shelves, or decreasing the storage space in our lockers rather than increasing the knowledge in our empty heads. But the novelty soon wore off with our introduction to Art, Music, Psychology, Introduction to Teaching and other subjects which brought us down to earth and made us realize that we had a definite goal. 'U V One of the really notable occasions, emphasizing our importance here was the annual Faculty Reception. We certainly appreciated the untiring efforts of sympathetic teachers who nearly caused us to forget such a little thing nas- talgia. Among the activities enjoyed by our class the first year were the Kid Party, Hallowe'en Party,.Christmas Party, the Junior Prom, the Circus and inaiiv h ot ers. As our 'eventful Junior year drew to a close we had the pleasure of participating in the Field Demonstration and, that-never to be forgotten- Pageant. It was in September IQ23 that we returned to school to fill the places left vacant by those dignified Seniors who had graduated the preceding June. The school activities of our Senior ear sur as d ll respects. y i p se a previous activities in all After these two years we are convinced that among our classmates there are geniuses, celebrities, and great personages who some day will be hailed ff . as the foremost leaders of our nation and when the rest of us hear their praises we will hook th ' b ' - - ' our um s in the armholes of our vests stick out our chests and say, Why yes, he is great .isn't he?

-al' 1 JEAN ACI-IESON Donora, Pa. Jimmy Clio. Beautiful fin- form and feature, Lovely as the tlayj Can there he so fair a creature Formed of common, clay? 'Here is portrayed a rare and radiant young lady wholn we think of as a dreamer. who de- lights in studying: fire castles. Jean is an anxious seeker of new things, new adventures -the latter. we believe, she received in Junior High. We have been thrilled on numerous oc- casions by her stately air and manners. and solnehow she is a 1'eal variation to our small group. tThe deep blue of her eyes reflects sparks of firel everywhere. and we are daunted in seeking to understand her further. Her fu- ture is uncertain. Surely she has developed a love for Junior High work. but. perhaps, she can match this with another love. Match our good wishes, too. LOTTIE ACKLEY Wind Ridge, Pa.

N. for a Summer Session. and the homing in- stinct was so strong: she came back again. until now she is graduating with the class of 'IZ-1. Predictions cannot go far astray in plan- ning for her a few years of teaching, and then -as a wife of some lllOtll01',S son. ISABELLA ALLEN Monongahela, Pa. Allen Cliog G. A. A. There was a soft and pensive graeeg A cast of thought upon, her face D That suited well the forehead high, The eyelash dark, the clowncast eye. It developed that as soon as we k11ew this maiden we knew that our class possessed a greatly increased amount of gray matter and uf..- superiority. Isabelle has a fund of enthusi- asm and resourcefulness-something: which ele- vates her as a first-grade teacher. We term her a regular little sport. and if fate will have it so. we wish her optimistic nature shall be contagious. ICSTIIICII ATKINSON Canonsburg, l'a. l'Isther I'hilo1 Y. XV. C. A.g C. A.

A. f'l'irfue is like a rich stating- Iiest, plain scifi This lassie joined us at the beginning of the second semester of this year and immediately began handing us a few thrills. The interest she displays in everything is deserving: of much credit. She always performs in the class room in a manner that reflects honor upon herself. We are glad to have her in our class, since she helps balance it, with no extreme of either fun or seriousness. She came here from Indiana to seek a higher place of learning, and she cer- tainly is making use of her opportunity. Mar- garet has chosen to teach school because her love for children possesses the largest area of her heart. With such a quality combined with her strong character she certainly will shine.
