Evelyn Smith did a Spanish dance, Ernest Miller, a Chinese dance, Jane Justin, the minuet, and Fred Brauer, the tango. Skipping had become quite common among a few, but a vacation proved a cure for this. VVith three cheers for Summit High we again entered school as the Junior class. VVe felt quite solemn for we were now upperclassmen. NVe had lost some classmates, but were joined by Winifred Dewey and Donald Allardice, who was a great asset in athletics. The class roll now numbered thirty-five. Mr. Mahaley was our class adviser, and we all enjoyed many hours with him, which we shall long remember, especially those spent in writing definitions after school.

Having struggled through eight years of grammar school hardships, we now entered Clarks Summit as Freshmen To most of us our studies, such as Latin and Algebra, were entirely new, but we soon mastered them. Mr. Stearns was our new principal. We also had several new teachers including Miss NVatkins and Mr. Helmich. As Freshmen we were the largest class in the school, numbering more than sixty. A large addition of members from Chinchilla was welcomed to our class. Some of our teachers, especially Mr. Helmich, considered us a bit annoying at times and arguments between hi1n and some of the classmates were not infrequent. We entered our Sophomo1'e year much more serious-minded, having lost most of our Freshman greenness. The class had dwindled down to forty-three. Several members had left school to attend business college, while others started to work. Mary Taylor enjoyed a trip to Europe. We had lost Miss VVilliams, but were delighted to find Miss Baxter as her successor. Class officers for the year were: President, Robert Judd, Vice-president, Marjorie Miller, and treasurer, Robert Hartwick. Dorothy Steele, Evelyn Smith, IIomer Reese, and Ernest Miller were our representatives on the Athletic Council. NVe were also well represented in athletics. Robert MacFarland and IIomer Reese received letters for football. Baas, Hofmeister, Huthmaker, and Carey went out for the team. The girls' basketball team won the inter-class league contest. Those on the team Were: Jeanette Salisbury, captain, Marjorie Miller, Clare Miles, Anna Ollendick, and Patricia Young. The boys' team consisted of: Robert MacFarland, captain, Arthur Baas, Herbert Butson, and Harry Ingham. In the fall of the year our wciner roast was held at Ernest Miller's home. Miss McAllister, Miss VVatkins, and Miss Baxter performed many amusing stunts which everyone enjoyed. The greatest social event of the year was a party held in December. We had a dancing contest which was won by Jane Justin and Arthur Baas. The judges were Miss McAllister and Mr. Stearns. In the spring of the year a class picnic was held at Bald Mount. After packing everyone into a. very few cars we arrived there. Although some had to carry soft drinks and marshmallows up the mountain, everyone had a good time. Each one arrived home at an early hour despite the fact that Alan Carey lost the gas tank from his car. 12

Five of our Senior boys received letters in football this year. They were: Robert Hartwick, Leon Florey, Robert Stanton, Arthur Baas and Alan Carey. Miss Watkins was our home room teacher of whom we were very proud. The first event on our social calendar was a weiner roast held at the home of Ernest Miller. Our next social event was a hike up Bald Mount. In October, the Seniors had a Big Day. We waged a political campaign and it was not until then that Summit High realized what able politicians it was developing. Shortly after Thanksgiving measurements were taken for our caps and gowns. Finally, the most exciting day we had had yet arrived. VVe received our rings and pins which we had looked forward to for four long years. NVe again took up our social activities, having a party at the home of Emma Miller. Dancing and games were the main features of the evening. YVe now faced mid-years bravely, as would any Senior class, and succeeded in having four members on the Honor Roll. Vtfe were not lacking when the oratorical contest was held, sponsored by the Scranton Republican. Alan Carey won first place. Mary Schumm and Huber Capwell were also participants of the contest. Early in the spring we held a party at Harry YVignall's home. As June approaches we realize that our high school days are about to end. We are looking forward, and are aiming to master the problems which face us, as successfully as we mastered all obstacles in high school. W H391 .I ., l 5? 'MN' ?'1 ,, --lg 1' 1 Q 14
