l CTHS f ,l932, SENIOR CLASS I-IISTGRY Ruth: Believe it or not, just two more days and we shall be called Alumnif, Miranda: I was just thinking-four years ago when we were as green as grass-so green that we were called Freshmen? Luetta: I can remember that hrst day of school as well as if it had only been yesterday. There were thirteen of us thenf, Ruth: Were there only thirteen? Luetta: Yes, indeed. You see Carroll and Woodrow did not enroll until institute of our first year, and at the same time Betty Dodson withdrew from schoolf' Ruth: You are right-and Treva Shive was our class president. Miranda: Those were the good old days. We did not have this terrible Physics to con- tend with then Oh! do you remember the candy we made in General Science?U Luetta: Do I? I can taste it on the back of my tongue now. Ruth: How about our Basketball team when we were Freshmen. We had a whole team formed from our classf, Luetta: Yes, if Treva Shive had come back during our Sophomore year our team could have given any opposing team a trouncingf' Ruth: We could defeat any other team when we were juniors and Seniors. Miranda: We were fortunate in losing only one classmate during our Sophomore Year, and only one on our Junior Voyagef' Luetta: Don't forget our Senior year, we lost only one, and then Vernon came to join our ranks. Things were evened up now. Who was our president while we were Sophs? Ruth: The honorable Elwood Cramer-a preeminent man. Miranda: That year marked the building of the bird bath, alsof' Luetta: That was the time also when Ernest appeared on the winning side of the de- bating team-some delight for him who likes to argue. Ruth: Then came the biggest step-to the Junior Class--the happiest of our times in High Schoolf, Luetta: Woodrow Snyder served as the president to pilot us over the waves of difficulty and the tides of pleasure. A mighty efficient president was he, for he held his chair for the last two years in High School. Ruth: We dare not forget our Junior Play-'Willowdalef Charles enters-whistling. Miranda: What makes you so happy-all of a sudden?', Charles: Why shouldn't I be happy? Tomorrow we will be graduated, and then all will be over. Luetta: Charles, do you remember our Junior Play? Charles: Quite so-especially the presentation we gave at Lineborof' Ruth: That year Luella and Elwood Cramer were representatives on the debating team. Miranda: Poor Cramer-gone, but not forgotten. I wonder whether he has learned how to study.', Luetta: How could we forget him when we see his face every day. Charlels: You're right, we have that cement head we made in Chemistry by which to remember imf' Luetta: The happiest moment I ever endured was in August, 1931, when the '32 crowd returned as Seniorsf' Miranda: I'll say. Soon after that we presented 'Done In Oil., Luetta: I shall never forget my part in that play. Ruth: I think I'll remember something else longer than the play.', Charles: What is that? Ruth: The debate. Miranda: You should-being the best speaker on your side, and Luella on her team. Luetta: There is one thing we must grant the Seniors-they can always agree. Charles: You don't think that we agreed so well on the ordering of invitations, do you? Miranda: The class did not stand unified then. 'Divided we stood.' Ruth: Well, anyway, tomorrow is Commencement and then Farewell to allf' 1:Iffl'l'I1

Let's sing-'Carry me back to Old Codorusf All: Q'Yes, yes, let,s! CURTAIN: Snyder: Well folks, it seems good to be back at the old place again, we'll have Miss Albright introduce the class of '32. Luella is employed as a mathematician in Temple Uni- versity, Philadelphia. Luella: At the head of the table is seated the President of the class of 332, Woodrow Snyder. As you all know he enjoyed farming while he was attending High School, he is now the owner of a large farm near Bristol. Next to him is seated Luetta Bowman Snyder, his recent bride. The week days she spends on the farm with her husband, while Saturdays she is employed in a beauty parlor in Philadelphia. To my left is seated Charles Werner, the train conductor. Charles is conductor on the train which conveyed a number of us to Glenville today. Besides Charles is seated Miranda Rohrbaugh. Miranda and Charles seemed to be pretty good friends in our last year in High School. Miranda is at present working in one of the largest libraries in New York. Next in line sits Ernest Merriken. If any one of you folks wish ro have a ride in an airplane, just come around to Ernest. Be careful, now folks, though you need not worry if you get hurt, we have a nurse right at the end of the table-Edna Hildebrand. Be solemn now folks, for we have a minister before our eyes-Elmer has just informed me that he is the Lutheran Minister at St. -Iacob's fStonej Church. We shall now turn the corner and there is seated Carroll Herrick, the plumber. It is through Carroll's work, most of us have arrived here safely tonight. Now don't ask me where we got our cakes for the banquet tonight, for right before your eyes is seated Norman Bortner, the baker. Did any of you ever hear of Bortner's Steam Bakery of Glenville? Newspapersl Newspapers! Five cents a piece. are the cries heard from Vernon Miller when on board the train traveling from New York to Baltimore, via Glenville. If you have any material to be typed, invitations, wedding announcements, or what not, call the Insulator at New Freedom, Office 27, and consult Ruth Mummert, who is employed as stenographer at that plant. New Freedom is dear to her heartf' Snyder: Well, it should appear to me that the class of ,SZ is important after all, since you all recall the members of the class of '32, we shall hear a song from the Senior girls. Girls sing: f Codorus Memoriesul. CURTAIN. St'7'l'VIf4'l'7l
