3 Margaret Zilhaver, Marg The ,best natured girl, a dandy good pal, even though teased about Bowling Al .

rfpv l L Margaret Smith, 'Peggyn I can't do a thing with my hair! , she would cry, ibut still she's the- apple of lPaul's eagle eye. Peg created some sensation when she got her stylish boyish haircut. 1But be- ing good-looking to begin with, that .didn't make Peggy,' feel badly. Kind and though- ful and ever in gcod spirits tis she. Her personality has won for her a part in many a dramatic composition. Merrill Snyder, Snyder Of chorus girls he never grows weary, so we've christened him Wallace Beery . .Eyes of blue, but over five-feet two is Merrill. Carefree-nothing bothers him- he just doesn't care for much of anything-'cepting athletics and perhaps, chorus girls. ,Merrill's one boy who can Work out Physics in a test without much study. This ought to help him when he becomes a famous chemist. Florence Strattan, Flossy lFloren-ce is quiet, industrious, too, anything she's asked, sh-e'll willingly do. Florence is one of those people of whom we know little. ,How-ever, iudging from her participation in several plays given in Chapel, she is interested in dramatics and shows ability in that line. Willia m Stewart, Bill Bill's kind of bashful and rather shy, but a 'fine addition to Clarion High. Bill is quiet and unassuming, but has qualities that will .help him thro-ugh life. Kenneth Taylor, Ken After high school, what then? 'Why military school thinketh Ken, Ken's going to military sc.hool and we think he'll make good, because he has all the qualities of a soldier. We wish him success. Francis White, White Francis is sober, quiet and sane, but is fond cf a Junior, her name is McLain. Francis has a faraway lock in his eyes. We wonder could he be thinking of a cer- tain Junior Maid. l24l

rf ! History of the Class of Z9 VVith a bulldog's grip and an elephant's pull. the class of twenty-nine en- tered the Clarion High School as Sophomores. Full of hope and vigor we came, bringing with us, as a heritage of our Junior High School days, an am- bition to conquer. and to make for ourselves. both as a class and as indi- viduals, a name that would long be remembered within the walls of Clarion's school. As our Senior year is drawing to a close, the realization of ended school day pranks that are past-of the pals that must part. Still it is not the end-but only the beginning of a very golden future that lies open before us. VVhen we go, however, let us take with ns the memories of these days to lighten our hearts and brighten our future. Hidden among the dusty annuls of our Sophomore year we can find the dark story of initiation, locked up like the traditional skeleton, skillfully con- cealed from the eyes of the public. Gleeful criminals we were! Upsetting age-old customs-and escaping scot-free! Yet it is with secret pride that We review it and recall to memory the neat way in which the trick was turned on the upperclassmen. Who will forget the intercepted order of ice-cream, so successfully hidden in the dark recesses of Phillip's Greenhouse? With de- ceptive meekness. we took the initiation. secretly rejoicing, while Butch and VVid climbed the firescape and disappeared with the spoils. What Soph- omore will ever forget the wild sense of triumph we experienced, when the high sign was given. the food was gone, and every little Soph was hustled out of the building leaving the upperclassmen to vent their rage on their dise- abled cars? It also does our hearts good to recall the literary prominence of the Sophomores in '27, Juniors and Seniors out-stripped again with one small Soph, Doc Mills, bravely facing the dangers of the literary world to orate for her class and her school. And again-the Sophomore dance, The Autumn Festival as it was called. A night of hilarious fun. up in the Mills Building, for the benefit of Brookville Hospital. Cornstalks and pumpkins! Pop and ice cream! Nineteen hundred and twenty-eight finds us again well toward the front in high school activities. Our boys, as Juniors. are holding important posi- tions on the Basket Ball team and '-'Connie , Twink , Ruth , Marg . Peggy and Bunnie , members of the girls squad. We had, so to speak. athletics in the palms of our hands. Yet without the vast cheering crowds of Seniors and the matchless playing of the Seniors-where would Clarion have been? Nevertheless. do not forget the inter-class games. Do you recall how they turned out? And once more meritorious work was exhibited by Tilmae Gosetti and Paul Somerville in literary work. -1261 .- . .
