AEOLIAN And do you know of George Hershberger’s prowess? Why, he’s lion tamer in the greatest circus; And traveling with the troupe in great array, Is Violet Tourney, champion horse-rider of today. But say, I’ve some information to impart About Kenneth Pomeroy and the girl of his heart. They are living in Auburn, blissfully content, Kenny, they say, still on love messages bent. Helen Herbolsheimer has quite a station, She is devoting her life as a politician. Harold Kistler is a manager of the highest rank, All Basket Ball records his champion team sank. And in athletics from the Class of ’23, There is still another who has astounded me, Runt Longbrake at Harvard has been a star, And has escaped from the Gridiron without a mar. Miss Rettig has for better or for worse Been acting in Garrett as city nurse. And Walter Higgins is famous in the electrical line, Inventing remarkable machines of the time. Essie Utter is married and happy, they say, While Aneta Treesh is a poetess of the day. A fine young man was Edward Tuck, I should like to congratulate him on his luck; In Chautauqua he ranks as high as the skies, Giving “Little Brown Baby with Sparklin’ Eyes.” Now last but not least comes the clown of the school, Who in a lunatic’s asylum plays the part of a fool; With clever gymnastics, the crowd she entertains, And makes life happy in unhappy domains. To Miss Helen MacDonald this honor befell. Thus to me this sad news Mr. Withrow did tell. The Class of ’23 has proven it’s fame Of succeeding quite well in this life’s game. “THE SENIORS” “The Seniors; The Seniors;” so stately and so tall We honor, we trust them; we love them one and all. They are the upper classmen; the leaders of the crew; The crew that goes to victory, for the good old Maroon and Blue. They help to make the team work as effective as can be; They help to win the pennant, did this class of twenty-three. They did it all unselfish and kindly, too, I’ll bet; They stayed it to the finish and won’t give up just yet. We have won the battle in the prime of life, And we’re ready to enter the world of strife. So here’s to the good old Seniors; whether in the battle or not, You’ll always find them leading or helping an awful lot. —NORVAL WITHROW, ’23. 23

OLIAN JUNIOR ORGANIZATION MARGARET HERSH .President PERRY HOUSER .Vice-President LUCILE VAN AMAN . . . . Secretary-Treasurer MOTTO—“We were born for success.” FLOWER—Red Rose. COLORS—Purple and Gold. JUNIOR HISTORY September 6, 1920, found sixty-five meek but proud Freshmen ready to begin life in the G. H. S.. At first we were very humble and backward, but as the year wore on we began to feel at home and very proud that we made up a part of the Garrett High School. Although we were “just Freshies” we took part in athletics and other activities of the school. As Freshmen we were naturally assigned the role of Santa Claus in the bazaar and played the part successfully. We were allowed to organize and the officers elected for piloting us thru our first year were: Frank Smith, president; Virgil Swalley, vice-president; Helen White, secretary, and Lucile Van Aman, treasurer. The following September fifty-five enrolled as Sophomores and we began another year of hard work. Of course we felt ourselves superior to the Freshmen, but nevertheless, we gave them a hearty reception and welcome to the old G. H. S. This year our officers were: Dale Gephart, president; Claude Hoover, vice-president; Lucile VanAman, secretary, and Theo Lane, treasurer. As Juniors we have proven our motto, “We were born for success.” This is shown especially in our athletic record. We have worked hard this year and accomplished much. Members of our class have been represented in all activities, in which they have shown their ability and skill. Our hope and aim is that we may carry out our motto as successfully next year as we have this; so here’s to the Class of ’24. —LUCILE VANAMAN. 25
