Everywhere we turned, history was being made in all activities. The festival to help finance the band uniforms followed the opening of school. During the first month two new teachers, and a music supervisor joined the teaching staff. t The football season was Well underway in mid-September, and what a season it was! John Harris was defeated by our hard fighting eleven. We celebrated this victory with a parade and bonfire after a day's vacation. Lancaster was held to a tie score, which might have ended in our favor had the game lasted a little longer. The Press Club was selling football programs, editing a handbook, and photograph- ing everything for the yearbook by the end of October. The Girl Reserves had organized and prepared themselves for a busy season of dances, meetings, and the distribution of Christmas baskets filled by the homerooms. The Crimson and Gold had distributed its first edition of its highly rated newspaper. The band won several prizes and gave some good performances both in assembly and on the field. The ScaRab Club was busy making posters and later gave us a treat with its exhibition of reproductions of great masterpieces. Everybody joined the Red Cross, including several clubs as a unit. The band, orchestra, and glee club sent representatives to all-district music festivals, and all- state gatherings of school musicians. ' Report cards made their periodic appearance, followed each time by student determination to do more studying. The Swing Band organized, and later played a peppy dance in the gymnasium, and furnished music for the football banquet. All of the musical organizations of the school staged a beautiful Christmas pro- gram Which was a credit to them, and the school. .The Dramatic Club produced The Supreme Gift which was later followed by their greatest success, Anne of Green Gables. Our class won all prizes and honors in the D. A. R. essay contest on the Life of Robert Fulton. The pep meetings always had some novelty to surprise' us before each home game. The cheer leaders added greatly to these occasions. The Debating Club revived the art of public speaking, and gave us some lively contests in assembly. The architects and contractors wandered about our school almost daily for several weeks which told us that we were really going to have and see that new addition to our school at last! Throughout the year we were entertained by outside professional performers with such programs as the Ritz Trumpeteers, John Frye the magician, the Elliott James Liquid Air Program, the impersonator of Davy Crockett. Shober Barr addressed us in assembly at a pep meeting and gave us a good im- pression of Franklin and Marshall College. Later Jerry Frock, the Lebanon Valley Coach, spoke at the annual football banquet and made us wish that we all could have heard him. The P. O. S. of A. presented the school with a beautiful American Flag, at our Armistice Day exercises. The Concession stand did a very profitable business at all home games. The library sponsored a book week poster contest and awarded prizes to -the winners. The Manual Arts classes, including seniors, made a tour of the Safe Harbor power plant, and began new projects in plastics. Dr. Schlosser, of Elizabethtown College, made his annual visit to our school, and gave us something to think about in his talk to the student body. Oh Doctor! was the title of the operetta produced by the Glee Club and Orchestra. Room 9 did a lot of extra work after 3:15 until we got back into our regular routine of silence in the halls. Those try-outs for commencement speakers showed us what talent the senior class had for public speaking. Then came the annual commencement preparations. We ordered yearbooks, made reservations for the Washington trip, selected our class commencement invitations, and settled down for the last lap of our school careers. The Industrial Arts exhibit showed the progress made in the shop department. Track and tennis started, and We all gave credit to our Basketball team, while not forgetting the unbeaten Junior high school quintet. The Girl Reserves completed their year with a dance which was even better than their Christmas and Valentine Dances. The seniors held their class day program at which the Susquehannock was dedi- cated to Miss Detwiler. The Junior-Senior prom was the crowning social event of the year, and one which we shall never forget. The band held its annual concert on Glatfelter Field, and won the praise of a large audience. While the underclasses were toiling over their examinations, we breathed a sigh of relief to think that ours were over, and that we had only to return from Washing- ton, attend the Baccalaureate Service, Commencement, and return for that final day of school. Our class would never assemble again in its entirety, and the thought of this made us feel a little sorry that it was all over, but the thought of going out into the world to travel our various ways held the highest prospects for us and so we parted. -23-
