Bastian' They tell us we should always look forward If we would inake a sueeess of our life, But soinetiines a little glance backward WVill help us through trouble and strife. Perhaps when fortune has passed us by And We are feeling lonely and sad, To recall our years spent at Sunnnit High VVould make us more cheerful and glad. Our four years at high school are not all play, For 'tis there we learn how to workg And the problems of life that confront us each day, llle ean not and will not shirli. So, as the years of life 0,0l'tk1liC us, And our locks are nnixed with gray, May the ineinories of our dear Alina Mater Help us onward and upward each day. .. ..,,..m... -11-11 : - -- 1, - - :-'m--im- 1 --z 1--Q- ni --u -vu-n1n-nu-m1 14

1' . - .. iM'f2 1 e cl1osen to be our Ilome Room teacher. iWe were delighted to have hin1 hold this position because of his good sportsmanship and jolly 11atu1'e. Our part in athletics was carried by a number of football and basketball players wl1o overcame the lack of a good gymnasium and played many good games. In May a play entitled t'The Importance of Being Earnest was given by some members of our class. It was a success under the capable direction of Miss McAllister. At the e11d of school as examinations approached we again began to worry and wait for them, but the tests were weathered and we all en- joyed a delightful summer which was brightened by the thought of soon being Seniors. Not many months after this we entered the High School as Senio1's. We were glad to find that Miss Vlfatkins was to be our Home Room teacher and that our home room was to be in the front pa1't of the assembly hall. Un the first day of school a representative of the Balfour Company visited our class and displayed his wares. Soon after this a ri11g and pin were selected and on the 13th of October, after much excitement, the rings and pins were given out to the Seniors. As we were all anxious to organize the class our officers were soon selected. They were: Philip Brodhead, president, John Kohl, vice- presidentg VVilletta Bastian, secretary, Helen Jacoby, treasurer. We now numbered thirty-four, thus making the largest Senior class in the history of the school. During the course of the year our class suifered tl1e loss of one member, Ruth Griggs decided to take a course in Home Economics. On October 28 a supper and dance were held, these being under the auspices of the Senior class. Both were generously supported by the school and townspeople. During December a play was given by ttThe Masquesf' All par- ticipants except one were Scniors. The production was a decided suc- cess under the direction of Miss Lewis. As school progressed many exciting days were weathered, especially Chemistry Lab days when some students tried to wreck the school. I11 tl1e line of sports our basketball teams won the Senior High School trophy, the girls being undefeated, lllltl the boys winning five out of seven games. This year a new sport was introduced, it being Millering.,' This was enjoyed more by the Senior boys than any other group. Examinations now loom before us, our high school days a1'e almost finished, and we must try to help carry the banner of tl1e Blue and White through all the coming years. 111111.-.-1-..1mu-..-,.-1,-.nn-.nu111.....-151111-......111 13

Chairman of Finance, Student Councll, 45 Basketball, 3-45 Glee Club, 2-35 Football, 35 Class Treasurer, 1-25 Track, 2-35 Science Club, 25 Athletic Councll, 2. 'Tis well worth while to cultivate the friendship of Be-nj who stands true through thick and thin. Benj is one of our tall boys and is thoroughly liked by everyone, because he is rather quiet, easy going, and sincere. Wil- liam ls always on hand to help the needy. He is one of our two representatives on the Student Council and does his share to let them know what we want. A well-known live-wire who always has played the game is Benj and our best wish is success in large quantities. HELEN E. ALEXANDER Alex Clarks Green, Pa. Glee Club, 45 Science Club, 2. Helen is a happy-go-lucky girl always in the midst of any fun that is going on. She is full of pep and likes to study her French every evening!! We wonder if she always does. To know her is a liberal education when it comes to the latest songs. lf y'ou want to get the swing of a new song, just go to Alex and you will soon know it. It's rather hard to keep up with Helen's cases, but just now she's interested in-'nuff said! But she has acquired a. Dodge touring that is handy when she wishes to attend a Penn State house party. Never mind, Helen, you are sure to be a success and we wish you a. happy and lucky future. WILLETTA A. BASTIAN Billy Clarks Green, Pa. Masques, 45 Glee Club, 3-45 Basketball, 35 Class Sec- retary, 45 Cliffs Staff, 45 Beacon Staff, 45 Science Club, 25 Operetta, 3. Willetta came here from Waverly at the beginning of her Freshman year. VVe all welcomed her, especially one of the Class of '27. The Ford always got them to the Hippodrome on Saturday' nights, but we don't know about getting back. We wonder if she ever had to walk. All the patients at the Hahnemann Hospital will find Billy a capable and efficient nurse. She is a good friend of all the students and a willing and competent worker. So here's the best of luck to you. SAVILLA BONHAM Suzy Clarks Summit, Pa. Glee Club, 2-3-45 Masques, 3-45 Junior Play, 35 Masques Play, 45 Cliffs Staff, 45 Beacon Staff, 45 Science Club, 2. Suzy has pink cheeks, brown hair, gray eyes, and also a gray Packard. Aside from these minor possessions she is a brilliant student, especially in chemistry and trlgonometry. She was an ardent supporter of both the basketball and football teams by her unfailing presence and rooting. Savilla is very neat, quiet. studious, punc- tual, sympathetic, dependable, and affectionate. She is quite a small edition, but filled to overflowing with the qualities which go to make up a girl whom all must love because they must. So l1ere's to Suzy. RUSSELL E.

The rest he spent in making C.S.H.S. better in athletics.
