Ethel Ewing CLASS HISTORY One bright morning in September 1920 a set of equally bright Freshmen entered Corry High, in fact we were shining lights—noses and all. Dr. Fine-gan, even, heard of us and decided that it was criminal to run the risk of losing one such prodigy, and immediately ordered us to be vaccinated. But such a little thing didn’t bother us because our ideals were high. We quite surprised everyone by climbing to the top of a hayrack and taking a hilarious ride one moonlight night. The next year our members decreased a little but our spirit—not a bit. We performed a real service to the school by taking the Fresh” out of the Freshmen. We saw some thrilling and heartbreaking tragedies that year when girl barbers sprung up over night. Suffice it to say that we kept abreast of the times. Klinger’s Grove was the highest bidder for the privilege of entertaining our happy gang, and was the scene of barbarious consumption of torrid dogs. We stirred up enough pep that night to last over to Hallowe’en, and enable us to make a prize-winning float. At the end of the year we had a picnic at Findley—to do the thing up brown. In our Junior year our aggressiveness made the others sit up and take notice. By consistent plugging we secured a large part of our Junior-Senior funds, and by means of an Allegheny Glee Club Concert we rounded up the sum. Then we put on a Junior-Senior that caused even Seniors to say that it was the best ever given. Then to recuperate from the finals we went to Findley for the grand finale. We returned in 1924 minus the dignity that has afflicted so many Seniors. Our spirit of sociability demanded a weiner roast at the Reservoir Hill. We have indeed helped make history. I he class of 1924 has fostered the Hi Times, has given the Student Body its President, has seen the introduction of student activities, and besides supporting athletics with heart, soul, and men. have kept up our scholarship. In fact, it is reported the school taxes will be higher this year, due to the fact that so much more ink is needed to write magna cum laude” on so many diplomas. Now for the usual advice. When in doubt always follow our example, and as we have, work for the good of dear old C. H. S. —M. L. 24. Page 12
