Codorus High School - Glen Echo Yearbook (Glenville, PA)

The Sophs now decided to build a bird bath, although not much work was done until our Junior year. Again the class of '32 stopped at Port Vacation for three more lonesome months. When they returned in the autumn of 1930, they again discovered that they had lost another one. After talking all the happenings of the summer over, we elected Woodrow Snyder as our president. With him as leader the boys set to work on their bird bath which was planned the previous year. Finally, after breaking several, they succeeded in making one just in time for the Seniors to use it in their play. But it still seems as if these naughty boys didn't have enough work to keep them busy. They still found time to talk during study periods. Prof. Bushey likes to hear history talks. When he saw the boys talking he thought they would be the very ones to give history talks since they would have time to prepare them. Who sold the most 'Glen Echo' subscriptions? Why, Ruth Mummert. She is a Junior. The five Junior girls challenge any other girls in school to a basketball game this noon. But no one would accept our challenge. But then, that isn't any wonder since the junior girls make up two thirds of the varsity. Four of the boys are also on the varsity. Is there any wonder that the Juniors soon began to feel important? Are you going? Am I? Say, I wouldn't miss the Junior play for anything. In April the Juniors presented their play successfully. With the spirit of '32 in our hearts, we will all spend another three months' vacation. Each and every one hopes to return in August to complete our high school journey. L. D.

r JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY CC ING, Dongln Ding, Dong! rang the bell in the tower as thirteen strangers occu- pied thirteen strange seats in the library of C. T. H. S. These thirteen strangers, or Freshmen as we were now called, had come from all parts of the surrounding community to start on a big tour, a trip through high school. We all seemed lonesome at first as nearly anyone would feel when entering a place where they had never been before. However we soon made friends among ourselves and elected Treva Shive as our leader. We also decided that we needed some motto by which to guide ourselves. The following class motto was chosen: Before us lies the timber, let us build. In this manner the Freshmen thought they could overcome many difficulties but alas! our treasurer, Elizabeth Dodson, left us. She went to join another crew in Baltimore. It seems as though the immortales div had mercy on us because a few days later two more boys joined our class. Sniff, sniff,', said the Sophs, juniors and Seniors. We wonder what the Freshmen are doing in the laboratory? They didn't wonder anymore when the president and vice-president took some real home-made taffyi' to'Miss Menges and Prof. Swam. t'Yea, Hildebrandll' Yea, Cramer! were the cries of the Freshies just now. They were proud to have at least two members of their class on the varsity basketball teams. Having spent such a full year, we thought it time to rest our weary bones in Mr. Vaca- tionis log cabin. After spending three long and lonesome months here, we were glad to re- turn to our friends and books. The first thing we noticed was that our last year's president had not returned. Therefore, we chose Elwood Cramer as our class president We found out that our studies were not quite as easy as the previous year. Nevertheless, one of our mem- bers, Ernest Merriken, was chosen for the prize debating team. This year it seemed as if more of our members took an interest in basketball, for nearly three-fourths of us were on the basketball teams. Twenty-three

SOPI-IOMGRE CLASS HISTORY Toiling and pufiing up the hill, Their tired footsteps falling, Come nervous Freshies one by one, Codorus High is calling. Seventeen bashful pupils they, To right and left they wander, Some finding here a well lcnown face, While others sit and ponder. A week, and bashful Freshies smile, To those who group about them, They find in High School's happy halls A friendship true and lasting. We Can Because We Think We Can How wonderful the meaning. Beside the colors green and gold, This motto's proudly gleaming. Oh spirit, that doth lead us on! Oh glory, left behind us! We drop a tear to mourn our loss, Three classmates now we're minus. Science, how wonderful thou art! Ambitious Freshies yearning To find within their small dry-cell Some spark of life a-burning. Twenty- five
