It is due largely to their efforts that the schools of Gettysburg hold their present high standard of efficiency. They give their time and experience to this work and are always willing and readyfto help solve any of the many problems that arise in the execution of their plans. The High School is especially indebted to this Board for it was due to their interest and efforts that we now have the splen- did new building. No doubt there is a lack of appreciation for this organization but they themselves know that the work they are doing is most valuable to their community so if they have that knowledge they can dispense with the other.

Page Twenty MARY HELEN ADAMS Pete Cornmercialg Gettysburg Public Schoolsg Chorus, 13 Class Secretary, 4: Lutheran. You can't see the red hair on the picture, can you? But she has, and is very proud of it, too. We know someone else who likes it also. How about it, Pete? Pete can't decide as to her plans after gradua- tion. She has just completed the commer- cial course, but we think it would be better if this had been the domestic science course instead. We were proud of her as Class Secretary and hope her next secretarial po- sition will be a bigger and better one. DOROTHY EVELYN ANDREW 1 ClDotl! Cashtowng Cashtown Schoolsg Classical Courseg Chorus, 35 Societas Latinas, 43 Reformed. Dot greeted us so dernurely four years ago when she first entered the records of Gettysburg High School, but lo-behold the dignified Senior, helpful to everyone, jolly, good-natured who now stands in our midst. Dot seems never to be Worried over any problems, always quietly industrious and never idle-a good creed to follow. May you find your happiness-particularly in the environment of Cashtown-that isn't at all definite! VIOLA REBECCA ARMENTROUT Troutie Harrisonburg and Strasburg Schools, Va.: United Brethren: Classical: French Clubg Chorus, 2, 3. Troutie is one of those exceptions with long hair-never bobbed. It has been ru- mored about that he went to New York and she didnt. Now don't get excited it wasn't said that she had it figlet. Well, you can't put any faith in just rumors anyway. How- ever we hope for the best Troutie. MAE BEAMER Beamer Straban Township: New Oxford Public and High School: Classical Course: Orches- tra, 43 Latin Club, 45 Lutheran. Mae is just another good looking girl from New Oxford. She has been a. great deal of help to nmnkind but some unap- preciating seniors think it is only due to her reliable Virgin pony, but this is not so for she is of more value than that We have heard rumors that she has a desire to become 41 school teacher. We feel sure she will make a good one. EDWARD CLAIR BEARD Beardie Gettysburg: ' Gettysburg Public Schools: Lutheran: Classical: Chorus, 1, 2, 3: Hi-Y, 2, 3, 4: Vice'President, 4:1Football, 4: G Club, 4: Treasurer Senior Class: Miss Somebody Else. A Here we have our illustrious Treasurer. Beardie is rather quick and witty and al- ways sees the bright side of everything. He seems to think quite a bit of the lower class- meu. Beardie must have a great deal of life insurance because his visits to a certain life insurance agent's house are many. None but the brave deserve the fair. ROBERT DALE BREAM llDucy,I! Cashtowu Public Schools: Commercial: Baseball 1, 2, 3. 4: Captain, 4: Maroon and White Staff, 2 4: Senior Vice President, 4: Chorus, 1, 2: Miss Somebody Else: Lu- theran. Hail! Here we have Cashtowxfs poli- tician and big league ball player. None other than Ducy. He is one of the Senior boys who makes thiugs.go- Ducy although living in Cashtown, has come to our High School for four years. It is said he is going into partnership with his dad in Cashtown's General Store, but we think a. better future for him would be baseball. Hail! the conquering hero comes! PAULINE BROWN Brownie Cashtown School: Reformed: Scientific: Chorus, 1, 3: Maroon and YVliite Staff, 4. Although most call her Dot she insists on being called Brownie : no one knows why. To be a nurse is her ambition. At least so she says. There are quite a num- ber of nurses to be in the class of '27, but in case anyone should have a preference, she can be found in Philadelphia. Her big question is: How can I go to bed as early as ten o'clock for four whole years, and will I have to study history? We wish her the greatest of success in her undertaking and may she cure all her patients. Give me liberty, or give me death. CHAUNCEY REGINALD BUOHL , UReggiei! Scientilic: Gettysburg Public Schools: Football 2, 3, -1: Basketball 2, 3, 4: Capt. 4: Baseball 4: Orchestra 1: Lutheran. Here he is girls-just a mg blond he- man. How the girls do fall for this big blond's bluster. He isn't a sailor but he has a sweetheart in every port-Hanover, Frederick, Harrisburg, Baltimoreand in fact this list would include practically every town, village or ''blot-on-the-landscape within a radius of seventy-five miles. He's such a big strong boy. Cha.unce is quite an athlete on the field as well as in the parlor and we hope to hear great things of him when he gets to college. Vifhat he is going to do besides being a ladies' man, we don't truthfully know but indications point toward his becoming a peddler of Florida real estate. All right for you Chauncey. WILLIAM BURHMAN CCBiu7l Waynesboro Grade Schools: Chambers- burg High School: Scientiflcg Methodist. Bill came into our midst at the begin- ning of our Junior year. He resides a, few miles East on the Lincoln Highway and is one of the shilling lights in the History Class. He is the most noted scientist in G. H. S. excepting of course Mr. Lefever. For he is a jolly good fellow. . GEORGE EUGENE BERGNER lKBuckD Connnercial: Gettysburg Public Schoolsg Lutheran. P Going to Waynesboro tonight? This was the question asked regularly by Buck, but alas no more. Please, dear readers, do not mistake me. I only meant to say that now he.has regular transportation. Of course we know how it is. Sheba simply must see ber Buckie boy or she would cry her pretty eyes out. XVe hear that he has gone in for religion, his most recent dame being a preacher's daughter, but you can never be too sure-remember that old song that went, I knew a preachers daughter who never ordered water. tPerhaps he loves her stilll. Buck deserves special mention be- cause of what he has done for the class, and we are sure if he does all his work as well as he has for the class, he will be successful- D DOROTHY MAE CAREY ' llDot!l Fairfield: Union: Fairfield High School. This demure little maiden comes to us in the last year. Very little is known of her future ambitions but we wish her success in whatever she may undertake. One thing we do know she is very studious and loved by all who know her- Dot is one who be- lieves in being seen and not heard. A silent tongue, a wise head. ' JOHN DAVID CLAPSADDLE R Jessie NVillow Grove and WVhite Run Schools: Commercialg Varsity Football, 43 Class Basketball, 43 Hi-Y, 2, 3, 45 Methodist. Jessie, a wondrous piece of humanity comes to us from along the Baltimore pike, where he with several other members of the family manufacture cement products which are well known in this section of the coun- try. This chap has taken up the commer- cial course probably in view of becoming his father's clerk in business. He has become prominent to us ,through his active part in athletics, especially dur- ing football season we all considered. Jessie one of the line's strongest points, .he has also taken an active part in class sports. It seems that Jessie does not pass through town when he steps out but prefers to go South -to the well-known Llttlestown, noted for its belies., If our predictions for Jes- sie's future are true or false-we extend to him our hearty wishes for success- CHESTER W. COSHUN lichesgi' Scientiiicg Rocky Grove: Chorus, 33 Pina- fore: Maroon and White Staff: Lutheran. There are two ways or pronouncing Co- shun. Ches, however, has informed us that he is not to be sat upon, and prefers the accent on the last syllable. He is an amiable lad who loves his teachers to u point of perfection-so much that We fear perhaps he may contract St, Vitus Dance or some like ailment from excessive handshak- ing. VVe have recently heard that he is stepping out. and the rumor is abroad that he is having several heavy dates in the vicinity of New Oxford. fNo names men- tionedl. Great loves of history such as Anthony and Cleapatra, etc, have often had tragic endings. Thus. knowing that he will need it, we wish him all the luck in the wor d. , PAUL L. CORNELL Klpaulii Commercial Course, 1, 2, 3, 45 Tauey- towu and Harney, Md.: Horner's School, Round Top: United Brethren. Paul entered High School ln the Fresh- man year. He is from the country and per- haps this is the reason for his good stand- ing in all his classes. He is always very quiet and studious never bothering nor mo- lesting anyone. Keep it up Paul, a silent tongue denotes a wise head. ROSE MADOLYN CULP uculpien Gettysburg Public Schools: Scientific Courseg Chorus, 1, 2, 3: Glee Club, 4: Ma- roon and VVhite Staff, 4: French Club, 43 Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4: Treasurer Girls' Coun- cil 43 Gypsy Roverg Miss Cherry Blossom: Once in a Blue Moong Windmills of Hol- land: Miss Somebody Elseg H. M. S. Pina- fore: Catholic. Culpiei' is our song bird, as her record will show, also a born actress. She it was who had the lead in Miss Cherry Blossom, Once in a. Blue Moon and Miss Somebody Else. In the dramatic and operatic roles she has already shown remarkable talent- we hope you keep on in this field. Culpie is also quite a slinger of rhymes, in other words a humorist. With such a start in life, success can be only a certainty but we do wish you happiness. JOHN B. DICKSON Johnnie ' Classicalg Gettysburgg Gettysburg Public Schoolsg Latin Club, 45 French Club, 4: Open Forum President, 4: Presbyterian. John B. Dickson, Orator, will.be Johnnie's title in years to come. Some of his class- mates think he was vaccinated with a vic- trola needle, because he can talk so much. That's all right Johnnie--but don't let the victrola run down. Johnnie was elected president of the Open Forum, a new society in G. H. S. That's a good start, Johnnie, and we wish you much success hereafter. CLAIR DULL ' Dullie Aspers: Locust Grove: Scientific: Hl-Y, 2, 3, 43 Lutheran. Ambition--To do what everyone else does: to go where they go. This makes Clair's fifth year in G. H. S.: be must have wanted to spend a. year in the new building. Since he does not have much to study, it is his chief pleas- ure to keep others from studying. He wouldu't even n1ake a good chauffeur because the first thing he did with his new Chevro- let was run it into a telephone pole. What his ann is no one knows: we wonder if he knows himself, Good at a light, but better at play Godlike in giving, but the devil to pay. CHRISTINE LOUISE EBERHART Teenie Classicalg Gettysburg Public Schools: Chorus, 1, 2, 33 Windziiills of Holland: French Club, 45 Laurel Club 43 St- James Lutheran. Here is one who never has a, care in the world except that she broke a date with Becky Both forgot it afterwards and laughed it away. YVhenever you see Tee- nie you see a bunch of girls laughing. Teenie is entertaining them. Teenie also says she doesn't know what she is going to do next year but who can tell, maybe she is hiding her plans and really expects to go to the Academy. ' This maiden, she lived with no other thought . Tl-an to love' and be loved by me. ' SARAH KATHRYN GALBRAITH Usuell Gettysburg Public Schools: Classical, 13 Commercial, 2, 3, lg Presbyterian: Chorus, 1, 2, 33 Girls' Glee Club, 4: Girls' Basket- ball, 45 VVindmills of Holland. Sue has been a member of the class of '27 for four years. She is very kind and loving to everyone, especially to one. You all know who he is. Don't let anyone dis- courage you Sue. Remember, Love con- quers all. - K ALICE H. GRIEST Griestie York Springs: York Springs High School: Scientific Classical 5 The Youugestu 3 Quaker. Alice came to us in our Senior year. Her bright smiles and cheery words wo11 friends for herf immediately. In The Youngest she portrayed her part as a mother per- fectly. She is also a great mathematician and does Trig at a rattling paces- She has not told us what she expects to do but we know she will be successful in whatever she does. - ' . Good Luck, Alice!

Gettysburg Public Schools: Chorus, 1, 2, 33 Glee Club, 4: Commercial: Reformed Behold our illustrious pianist. What would the Glee Club be without Bc-re? She is quite an accomplished pianist and spends a great part of the time playing for her boy friends and looking into their admiring eyes. She is our queen of the ivories, anC she can tickle the typewriter keys equally well. Bee, good luck. LLOYD B. GIBBS Gibbs Baseball, 3, 4: Football, 3, 45 Track, 43 G Club, 3, 4: Lutherang Scientiiicg York Springs High. VVe now come to Mr, Gibbs who came to us in our third year Gibbs is the Adonis of our class, the Doy about whose hair the girls rave. Gibbs is the mainstay un our baseball pitching staff, but he has also earned lau- rels in his work on the line in football Ah! I forgotto mention that Gibbs is one of our zealous French scholars. We have not learned just what Gibbs intends to do next year, but expect that he will be in a camp this summer. By my troth he is at handsome knavef' ELIZABETH MI LDRED HAAR Mildred Abbottstowng Abbottstown Public Schoolsf Lutheran. Mildred came to us from Abbottstown in our Senior year. She has proved herself to be a diligent student and won many friends in G- H. S. VVhat Mildred expects to do is not definitely known but we do know that she will make a success in whatever she at- tempts. Her voice was ever low. HELEN VIOLA HANER Helion Gettysburg Public Schools: Classical Scientiticg Chorus. 1, 2, 3, French Club, 43 Vvindmills of Holland: Laurel Club, 45 Lu- therau. Here is the Go-Getterf' of our class. If you want a chairman for a committee. who will work go to Helion and yon'll get re- sults. Helion seems more interested in B. H. S. than G. H. S. for certain reasons but nevertheless she has always been a true and loyal student to '27 and the class is very lucky for having this small worker for its own. s MADALYN HANTZ uMadn York Springs: York Springs Hlghg Scien- tilicg Lutheran. Mad came to us in her senior year from York Springs, the place wliere most good- looking girls come from. She is so full of fun that we are sorry she was not with us all four years. When she is not laughing she is giggling or doing something of that sort.- If you don't believe that Mad is a live wire, ask any one of her teachers. Maybe this has something to do with, it. She is one ot- the two girls in the Senior Class who has perfectly white hair ithough not from worry or agej. It's very nice to be different though, now isn't it, Mad '? Well at least some nice young fellow thinks so. ETHEL MAE HOUCK 'Tlouckief' Heidlersburg Public School: Lhutheran' Scientific: Chorus, 1, 35 Basketball, 4. Ethel is one of the few curly heads of the class, that is naturally curly. We know little of her future ambitions but we did hear her say one time she wished to be aj public speaker: we do not know if this is still her aim but we believe she would make a good one. The colors she likes best are black and red, at least in color of hair, We wish Ethel the best of success in whatever she may undertake. I Early to bed and early to rise, Makes your hair curly and you very wise. ' ' LETHA JANE HARBAUGH Lethal r , Mclinightstoxvn, Flohrs' School: St. Johnnie-nlietggme Girls' Council, 1, 2, 3, 4.3 Miss' ody Else g Maroon and White Staff, -L. Letha is the most dignified girl in our class. She has proven herself very diligent in her four long years in G- H. S. She in- tends to become a school teacher-but then who knows? Raymond calls upon this dig- nilied lass quite frequently and two heads are better than one anytime. None knew thee but to have thee - None named thee but to praise. J. RICHARD HERSHEY Dick Highland Townshipg Mt. Vernon School: Scientiilcg Chorus, 1, 2, 3: Hi-Y.. 2, 3, 4: Football, 4: G Club, 4: Asst. Baseball Man- ager, 35 Class Basketball, 43 Miss Some- body Else: Lutheran. Richard comes from Highland township. He has been one of us all tour years. We have noticed lately that there is some at- traction in the Valley for him. His father lately purchased a new calf wagon for him to ride about in. Ingthe future years his name'will probably bring to our minds his large cattle ranches. RUTH ELIZABETH HYKES lIRufusl7 llshort 9, Y York Springs, Pa.g Cranberry Collagen: York Springs High Schoolg Upper Bermu- dian Lutheran Church: Classical, Smiles Committeeg Girls' Council. This little bit of humanity came to the class of '27 in its Senior year. Her smile for everyone has done much to make the class of '27 brighter. Keep smiling Rufus and you'll get along swimminglyf' EVELYN MARGARET KECKLER uEbn K McCurdy's School: French Club, 4: St, James Lutheran: Scientific. Eb is one ofthe quiet lassies from Greenrnonnt. She is a very good friend of everyone in theclass but we know she has a, much better friend. And we have found out he is from Marylinn. We'll say, Si- lence is golden, and wish her best o' luck. LOUELLA KENNEDY uLupl York Springs High School: Class Basket- ball, 4. This is the quietest girl in the class of '27. We hardly know she is among us. But don't worry Lu it is a very good thing to be quiet sometimes and we believe they like quiet girls in a certain part of Maryland. CHARLES A. KENNEDY llBeefH York Springs High Schoolg Methodist: Scientilic. Beef is one of the high lights of York Springs, but shines in Gettysburg. VVe think that the Open Forum is lacking a good member because Charles shows uu- usual ability along this line. We expect that the pupils of High School shall be studying a Revised Edition of History, which shall agree with every other History the world over. Here's to our future historian. CARL FREDERICK KETTERMAN CCH iramn Round Top: Lutheran: Classical: Com- mercial, 1, 2, 3, 43 Hi-Y, 4. Everybodyg Lo and behold, now give your attention to a certain quiet young fellow from the country. XVe seldom hear of Carl being boisterous and for this reason every- body knows him. Many of our dear little ilappers would like him to fall for them but he has good understanding. Silence is a virtue Possess it if you can. It's seldom found in women, And never found in me11. , x GLADYS ELIZABETH KING Gladie Two Tavernsg Horner's School: Lu- theran, Commercialg Basketball, 4. Gladie is one of our brilliant commer- cials. A gem to anyone who may echance to get her in his oillce but then is she go- ing to work in anyone's oitlce? She is so silent and stndious she does not tell anyone her intentions. We feel sure. one person thinks her the gem of all gems and as we all know she likes bookkeeping Vit is probi able she will do this for him during all the golden years to come. A silent tongue, a wise head. - MARY SYLVA KNOX usylvan Cumberland Township: Boyd's School: Catholic: Commercial: Maroon and White Staff, 4: Girls' Council, Vice President, 43 Basketball, 4: Miss Somebody,Else. Lo! Now classmates, behold this demure little maiden. She came to us ln our Fresh- man year and has proved herself a very capable student. Sylva expects to,be.,a nurse and we know she will make a. success of healing broken hearts. When ever. we see Sylva we often see a certain Junior boy. Sylva is u wonderful English student and an admirer of Sl1a.kespeare's plays. She informs us that she likes Mack best, 'Mac- beth of all. Haste the Nymph and bring with the .lest and youthful jollityf' ETHEL ROSALIE KNOX uEttn k V Gettysburg' Boyd's School: Girls' Councllg 1, 2, 3, 45 Maroon and White Stahl, 41 Basketball: Catholic. This long haired dignified, industrious girl came to us four years ago. How could the Commercial section get along without Ethel.

This pleasing young man lives in the borough. We are very glad to say that we have in our midst so popular a man as he. We can attribute some of his popularity to his sax. with which he is very apt. He has also taken a prominent part in our dif- ferent branohes of athletics, also class sports. His ability as an actor cannot be scoffed at by any.

Then four short years we spent Slowly rising, day by day Working upward, striving, cheering As we smiled along the way And now, dear fellow classmates At this envied goal of life Let's be mindful of the next step Guarding 'gainst all sin and strife. Many thorns will bar our roadway Trials and troubles will meet us there Every step is most important We must choose our way with care But wherever our path may lead, to Fertile plain, or vale, or hill May we cherish a ,golden motto Onward and Upward be with us still. There'll be problems to be mastered As we rise along 1ife's way We should seek some height to gain From life's dark lesson, day by day The hues that our tomorrows wear Are by our yesterdays forecast.

Ruth Hykes Page Fo ty 1 S The, PLEMOGH Svninr Gllami lliintnrg In the autumn of 1923, approximately one hundred wide-eyed, frightened Freshmen entered those mysterious and sacred pre- cincts of G. H. S. Green was what they called us and green we were, some of us a very fresh green. But after we had been in- troduced to various quiet spots on the battlefield and had felt the excellent quality and strength of those fearsome paddles wielded by our dignified upperclassmen, and when we had learned to say correctly that little speech which begins- I, Sir, Will, Sir, etc.- our cute little glances and brilliant speeches had become some- what toned down. That much is for the boys. The girls were, or appeared to be, very shy and backward. Oh, of course we had our little class flirtations and some other kinds but on a Whole the girls were very quiet and left most of the mischief to the boys. About two Weeks afterwe entered school one of those high dignitaries, a Senior, condescended to organize our class for us and as a result the following oflicers or rather figureheads were elected: e President ....... .... H oward Robinson Vice President .... ..... R obert Taylor Secretary ........ . .......... Madolyn Culp I said figureheads because the only thing that was done by any of the oflicers, as far as I know, was the handing out of the monthly issues of the Maroon and White by the President. But it made them all feel good to think that they were officers of the class. We really brought a good dealto G. H. S. in our Freshman year, however, for we had one man on the Varsity Football Team, also a first team substitute in Baseball and in music We had quite a lot: several members of the orchestra, and excellent Freshman Chorus, one member on the Male Quartet and two of the lea-ding ladies of Miss Cherry Blossom were from the Fresh- man Class. We had one Class Party and the upperclassmen didn't steal the ice cream. We were on the whole a pretty good bunch of greenies, although the upperclassmen didn't seem to think so. . The majority of us got into the Sophomore Class either by hook or hand-shaking, but unfortunately some' few of our class- Pag F ty The PLEMOGH mates weren't able to make the grade and so they had to join with the incoming forces which, from the attitude of Sopho- mores, could have been worse. Now, to me-yes this is being written by a boy-the most in- teresting years of my high school life were the first and last. I know some people will disagree, but, the beginning and ending are usually the most interesting parts of most anything we do. As Sophs we regained some of our lost freshness and at the same time tried to take this same quality out of the newcomers. We did and as a result we received a most frightening lecture from none other than our esteemed and feared Principal, Mr. W. D. Reynolds, and all who remember Mr. Reynolds will know just what I mean when I say frightening lecture. We progressed a great deal however from Freshmen to Sopho- mores for we had a couple more Varsity Football Men, some good Basketball Men, and also some Varsity Baseball Men. In music we werethe guiding stars. In Orchestra, Choruses and in the Double Quartette we had an excellent representation. And when the musical comedy, Once in a Blue Moon, was presented it really looked like a Sophomore Class Affair for no less than seven leading characters were picked from the Class of '27. I almost forgot to mention the names of our government for the second year, but here they are: ' President ................ Clement Wouterz Vice President .... ........ R obert Seaks Secretary ............... Mary Jane Snyder This government functioned similarly to the one in our first year for the trials and tribulations of class government were not destined to worry us until the next year. One thing most noticeable about us in our second year was the surprising change which took place in the looks and actions of some of our f-more romantically inclined members. The girls be- gan using vanity cases and writing sweet little notes to their partners in Puppy Love and the boys came to school with their hair slicked down, their clothes brushed and then tried their level best not to blush when the Girl of Their Dreams made eyes at them from across the Assembly Room. This all goes to show that we were growing. But I have forgotten what, to Miss Hake, would be the most important kind of growth. Yes, we were learning something, from the classes, to say we weren't Pag Forty-two The PLEMOGH would be a most unpardonable insult to our splendid and most patient instructors. ' We learned all about Simultaneous Quadratic Equations, we found out about the Laws of Hammurapi, We read about Mac- beth seeing the Ghost of Banquo and how Portia beat Shylock out of his pound of flesh, also we found out that Caesar could dictate seven letters at the same time and that Gaul was divided into three parts, then in Bug Class we were introduced to such delightful creatures as the Amoeba and the Paramoesium. So you see we really did learn alittle bit from our books. But when the first of June rolled around there didn't seem to be any that Wanted to continue delving into the precious treasures of the text books. So passed the second year and when the roll was called it was found that a few more had dropped from our ranks to join with other forces. But with it all we still remained a rather large and lively class. l Then in the autumn of 1925 we entered the now familiar halls, as Juniors. This is a most important time in our history for when we became Juniors we began to think we were something and as a result we were. As Freshmen and Sophomores we al- ways had to be careful about our actions towards the upperclass- men but now we were ourselves upperclassmen and for that rea- son we felt inclined to sprout out a bit and enjoy some of our new social power. We started off in a most business-like way and elected our class officers. These were: President ........ ...... D onald Stoner Vice President ........ Robert Taylor Secretary ...... .... E lizabeth Mumper Treasurer ................. Kathryn Sheads These officers proved themselves very competent and they at once began negotiations for the purchase of our Class Rings. These were of course the best looking class rings that any class in G. H. S. had ever had. We also began to take an active inter-- est in the magazine and several of our members were on the staff. In classes we began to use new and large words in our recita- tions and we had about us the air of a most progressive and ag- gressive people. We had by this time gained fair control over Page Forty-three The PLEMQGH our blushes and the boys began to have opinions about the faith- lessness of Women and the girls were beginning to find the men fickle and so they started to read books by James Oliver Cur- wood. Then the boys dreamed of a beautiful maiden with hair that hangs below her waist and the girls spent idle moments in visualizing themselves in the arms of some tall, lean, strongly built, mustached hero of the North Country. In activities we kept up our former high standard and especi- ally did We do this in athletics and music. All three of the sports had a large number of Juniors in their ranks and they all were greatly aided by this fact. In music we held an undisputed sway and every musical event was helped to success by the splendid work of our old time gang. In all social affairs we played a prominent part and many of our members who when Freshmen had blushed when looking at a member of the opposite sex were by this time well on the way to becoming real Pink Tea Hounds. Our knowledge of the arts and sciences was increasing rapidly. We learned that George Elliot was a She and that H20 is to drink. We had little trips to the office and our one o'clock classes and our lectures on the evils of tobacco and all these things we took greatly to heart, most of us by this time having reached that distinguished and happy age of sixteen. We were rapidly learning, from the Seniors, how to hand- shake our way onto the Honor Roll and still sleep until 8.30 every morning. The boys became the masters of the Shealer Store Gang and the girls began driving their fathers' cars to school. We Whispered to each other on the way to and from classes about some new girl or new fellow we had met last night and told all about the beauty of his or her eyes and oh! he seems to have all kinds of money. Yes, we were rapidly approaching sophistica- tion but as I see it now we were more simple than when we were Freshmen. This year We gained several new members from the country districts and they Were all fine additions. However at the end of this year we again lost some valuable members. As Seniors we knew we would have our work cut out for us because We were moving into the new building and there were so many changes in other ways but we felt equal to making our class the best that had ever graduated from G. H. S. and whether we did or not is for our readers to judge. At least some of us made an earnest attempt. Page F ty f0U The QLEMOGH Seniors at last. That position which three years ago seemed so dignified is ours, and strange to say, now we have it, it seems to have lost some of its glamour. It isn't nearly so wonderful as we had supposed because we have now reached the stage where we see that the more we learn the less we really know. How- ever, that isn't what this history is supposed to contain. We entered the new building and for the first couple days there was a grand confusion of classrooms, homerooms and bells. Order was soon established and we got down to the work of organizing the Senior Class. Class Advisers had been appointed for each class and the Senior Class was fortunate enough to have Mr. Le- fever for their counselor. He took charge of the first class meet- ing and at this meeting the following officers were elected: President ...... . ........ Howard Robinson Vice President .... ....... D ale Bream Secretary ...... .... H elen Adams Treasurer ..... ........... E dward Beard Business began at once and that business was to make money. We considered ways and means of making the most money and accomplishing the most for the Class and for the School. Weheld a food sale, had several dances, held two benefit movies at the Strand Theatre and charged fifty cents a month class dues. The school publication came into our hands and after a lot of criticism and argument we decided to have a bi-weekly news- paper instead of the magazine. This part of our work was suc- cessful if we can judge by the statements of impartial readers. This work was new and the first couple issues were far from being examples of expert journalism but as the work proceeded it improved greatly so that when we handed the Work over to the Junior Class at the end of the first semester we had put it on a sound basis. Many plans were made for this year's class and some of them have materialized. Whether or not the remainder will do like- wise is not known at the time I am writing this. We sincerely hope for the best. The class as a whole seemed to take a great deal of interest in the plans but for some reason we have met with many obstacles in our attempts to accomplish the things planned. l We have had to work hard for what little we have accomplished but we hope Pg F tyiie The PLEMOGH that all of our big plans as to this book, our Senior Prom and our trip to Washington will turn out to be great successes because the effort put forth warrants such an ending. Now our days in G. H. S. are about over and we are thinking a strange mixture of thoughts, we are feeling a strange mixture of feelings. We are about to enter the more serious stage of life and we are anxious to get at this old world and take her by the horns and wrest from her the place that is rightfully ours. But as we look back over the days spent in G. H. S. we begin to see that these were the happiest days of our existence up till this time and from the wisdom of our elders we hear that these are to be the happiest days of our existenceentire. So it is with mixed feelings that We leave. We are at the pa.rting of the ways. The seventy-two odd members that have been classmates and friends so long will go their various ways in different occupa- tions and amongst different scenes. Then as we leave we must have a feeling of joy because we are so far advanced towards our life work but then comes the note of sadness to dampen and modify our happiness, for friends-and we are all friends of one another-can never part without that feeling of having lost a valued possession. Our toast to G. H. S. If we could turn time to a backward step. And get back part of our past, I wonder what each one would take If he had the right to ask. Give me the years of G. H. S. I've never known happier days, And there with the old companions, I'd travel the same old ways. We never thought when we were there, How fortunate and happy We were, But now as We go far away, We want to stay with her. So, here's a toast to old G. H. S. Let's proclaim her to the skies, For she was the Foster Mother Of the happiest days of our lives.

I placed the book on the table, and was thinking about what I had read when the door opened and in came an old gypsy woman with a crystal in her hand. She told me that she had heard that I Wanted to know the future of the class of '27, so she told me to be very quiet and not disturb her or the spell would be broken. She placed her crystal on the table and began to talk. Kathryn Sheads is superintending The General Hospital in New York City.

She gave great promise of this in her high school days, and has ful- filled the expectations of everyone. Here the gypsy paused and looked into her crystal darkly as if she saw something that did not please her. I sat as still as I pos- sibly could because I didn't want her to stop before she gave the future of the rest of the class, she soon began talking again.

H. S.-at the old high school building we were regarded as mere children. But our feelings were not hurt by this and we soon buckled down to our studies. The greater part of the class had already decided to take Latin instead of the Commercial Course. Our class excelled in athletics, a great many trying to gain po- sitions on the teams. During our first year there was a general disturbance between the Sophomores and our class. The Sophomores wished to initi- ate us into the institution but the faculty and ourselves did not, of course. Many Freshmen were given a grand initiation and we thought that G. H. S. must be a wonderful school according to the degree of initiation -which attended us. In our Freshman year we were excellently led by the following oflicers: Emmert Colestock .... ........ P resident Jere Bream ........ ..... V ice President Kathryn Plank .................. Secretary In the fall of 1925 the class, now Sophomores, started to work again. We soon elected the following ofiicers to lead us and they filled their positions most commendably. Malcolm Stallsmith ...........,.. President Kermit Deardori ..... Vice President Janet Biesecker . . . ........ Secretary Helen Beales ..... . .............. Treasurer We were now no longer children and we soon started to show our stuif. Many of the boys went out for sports -and quite a few had berths in each of the teams. As We had now grown up we proceeded to initiate the coming children into G. H. S. But the faculty strictly enforced the rule that this should not be done and of course we did not initiate many of the Freshmen. As a result these children, unlike ourselves having been disciplined, became naughty and spoiled and were allowed to do as they pleased. Now, indeed they will not grow up like the fine Freshmen we did. Page gixty fou The PLEMOGH In the fall ofa1926 we entered the new high school building as Juniors. We were surprised at the number of new teachers and we soon got very well acquainted with them. We immediately elected the following officers and our choice proved later to be very good. ' Donald Rebert .... ........ P resident Melchoir Sheads .. ..... Vice President Kathryn Plank ..... ........ S ecretary Herbert Weikert ................ Treasurer Miss Hake Class Adviser fchosen by facultyl The president of the class soon called a meeting at which we decided to pay dues at the rate of one dollar a year, which would go toward paying the expenses of our trip to Washington. We also had a benefit show at the Strand Theatre in the early part of the year, the proceeds of which went for our trip to Wash- ington. . Assoon as we became accustomed to our new building our boys and girls went out for athletics. Our boys aspired so much for athletics that most of the berths on all three teams were filled by members of our class. I Later in the year the Athletic Play was presented in our Audi- torium in which many of the cast were Juniors. Their acting was a credit to their class. Miss Alwine, who directed the play found much promising material for the plays which will be given by us next year. During our Junior year the Rotary Club invited one member out of each of the upper classes who should be elected by the members of the class to attend its meetings for one month. Our class sent a representative and after he had attended the meeting he gave an interesting talk about the value of the Rotary Club. The crowning success of this year was something which had never been attempted in G. H. S. before. On March 11, 1927, we gave a social inviting the parents or guardians of the pupils of the Junior Class. Every one called upon co-operated with his fellow members in the work of the various committees. The social turned out to be a huge success and the Juniors were congratulated on their co-operation. We will now leave G. H. S. for three months only to return for our Senior year which we hope will contain many joys for us. Y Page Sixty-Ii The PLEMOGH Page Sixty-six The PLEMOGH SOPHOMORES -?

The most remarkable thing about us was the fact that we were not green. Of courselwe soon became green when we learned that was the proper thing to do. Our class was well represented in the school activities. Sev- eral girls were in the cast for the Windmills of Holland. Many of our boys also answered for football players. They promised a good team for the following year in basketball and baseball. On the fourth day of October, unexpected sorrow was cast over the entire school when our classmate, 'Chester Rogers, died at his home at 412 York street from injuries received while playing. Chester was always smiling and made us forget our troubles. We presented a floral tribute as a token of our great esteem for him and his bereaved family. During the winter we studied hard and earnestly. The clas- sics aroused our interest and quickened our imagination. With most of us it was the first time we came in contact with the best literature. Half of the year slipped by before We realized the great change which was wrought in us. We could give talks in English without being afraid to face our audience. We had an advantage over the previous Freshmen classicals in having Civics as a study. We enjoyed it and will likely have reason to prize it hereafter. Our Latin puzzled but did not discourage us and the expression Amorte was often heard. The following oflicers guided us through our first year success- fully: Raymond Sheely .. ......... President Paul Snyder ..... ..... V ice President Clarence Wilson . . . . ....... Secretary Ruth Jean Beard ............ Treasurer On the sixth of the following September most of us became Sophomores. Remembering our treatment the previous year we did not impose upon the numerous Freshmen. We appreciated the gymnasium of the new building because it made individual class basketball teams possible. The Sophomore boys' won the championship, winning four of the six games scheduled. They Pgq ty The PLEMOGH were twice victorious over the Seniors and Freshmen. The Sophomore girls' team also deserves recognition as they fur- nished several players for the girls' varsity team. - After all the pupils began to take an extensive interest in music, Miss Baker posted a statement on the bulletin board allud- ing to the fact that all the songbirds of the school try out for the Glee Club. Many of the Sophomores responded and when the chosen list was announced later they were well represented. During the middle of the year the Seniors presented the re- sponsibility of editing the Maroon and White to the Juniors. This change also affected the lower classme-n, as the Sophomores were called upon to do that work which the Juniors had done pre- viously. This new kind of work of course required extra work, a mind always on the alert for additional news, and the ability of Writing Snappy articles. The Sophomores slipped right into their assigned positions and helped greatly in making possible the fine publication of their school paper. Spring soon made its appearance and our thoughts turned to the celebration of Music Week which was the first week in May. High School was represented in this celebration by staging the opera Pinafore. This comic opera called for much musical talent and the Sophomore class produced quite a few members for the choruses. The leading lady for this musical production was also chosen from our class. In the Sophomore year we were piloted safely through by the following oflticers: Y John Knox .... ........

H. S. it has already shown its high standardsg the assured victories on the baseball diamond, gridiron, and basketball floor, and its ability to become one of the most famous in the annals of illustrious old Gettysburg High. By its ready co-operation in all school activities it has won the respect and good will of most all the upperclassmen and for this reason in the first year of its career it has been very popular. Probablyathese little innocent Greenies are less snubbed, less sat upon by the upperclassmen since several of its members have attained the lofty and envious distinction of positions on the var- sity teams. t The year is almost over in which we seem to be counted as the Babes of the high school and soon we will be counted among the upper classes though it is a wonder that the Sophomores are considered as such. Speaking of babes brings to mind the ambition of many of the members of our class. That is to grow up at least to be tall enough not to be crushed in case of rush. Miss B-ream and Miss Spangler, who have charge of our Fresh- man Hall have had quite a job on their hands during the year but most of the mischievous ones have quieted down at least for .a while. , Our Freshman girls were quite active in raising money for the Girls' Council, they sold Ready-Jell and everyone was asked to help.

The PLEMOGH Page Seventy-eight Forum Open The PLEMOGH Uhr Qbpvn illnrnm r The open forum is a debating society recently organized in G. H. S. Prof. Rice, one of our new instructors, was the sponsor of this society. Due to the fact that this art is altogether newpto most of our pupils this society progressed very rapidly. Through out the year public debates were held in the class-rooms at inter- vals of two weeks. Problems of the present day were discussed, which is another reason for the great success of the society. The keen interest put forth by the members of the society made these arguments worth while listening to. This society is one of the best in our school. The time spent in this kind of work is never lost, and furthermore you gain the experience of public speaking. This is a great opportunity, and the society solicits your patronage.

It's object is to increase attend- ance at games and in general, to increase the spirit and enthusi- asm of the student body. It has met with considerable success in this and no doubt will continue to do so from now on. . This club was organized through the eiorts of Mr. Rice and for this the school owes Mr. Rice a vote of thanks. He was also instrumental in the organization of the Open Forum and this so- ciety also appears to be on a fair way to success. The members of the Pep Club were determined by having a representative from each one of the Home 'Rooms and the idea of this was to get each representative to present his or her own idea about the best method whereby the school spirit could be in- creased in his or her particular Home Room. Later however, the membership list was thrown open to anyone who wanted to join and at the present time they have quite a fine membership as can be seen by the picture. A Page Eighty-one The PLEMOGH Page Eighty-two The PLEMOGH 66-Qlluh The G-Club is composed of all men now in school who have earned a G in any major sport namely, football, basketball or baseball. Members of the Athletic Association elect a Senior Manager for each sport, who in turn is assisted by two Juniors. One of the Juniors is sure to be a senior during the following year, thus having an opportunity to obtain a G if elected manager. The manager receives a G for his services. ' ' How to obtain a UG.

This was the Girl Reserves. Quite a number of girls were present at the first meeting and a great deal of en- thusiasm was shown. An election was soon held and the ofiicers Christine Eberhart, Mary Sowers, Laura Krout and Pauline Brown, president, Vice president, secretary, and treasurer re- spectively, along with the advisers, Miss Frances Tawney, Mrs. Fortenbaugh and Miss Anna Hake fschool adviserj headed the organization. This was the stage when the forty honor points were won which were needed for initiation. The first meetings were de- voted to study and instruction. During the time the Service Committee worked to a great advantage. The club helped them, of course, to pack a number of service bags for children in New Mexico. At last all were ready for initiation and at the begin- ning of the year they were initiated. The initiation took the form of a candle lighting service and was conducted at one of the weekly meetings. ' Meetings are held every Wednesday at 3.50 o'clock. These are conducted according to the arrangements of the Program Com- mittee. The first meeting of the month is a business meeting and then there are talks on art in books or they have basket-mak- ing or discussion meetings. Q A few weeks ago a test was given for the directors, ladies of Page Eighty-seve The PLEMOGH the High School Faculty, and mothers of the Girl Reserves. One of thesocial events other than at the meetings was the entertain- ing of the Hi-Y boys, this was a huge success. After the girls had become members another election had to take place. Katheryn Sheads is now the chief executive and with her are Helen Haner, Laura Krout and Nellie Aumen as vice president, secretary and treasurer respectively. ' Despite the fact that there are only eighteen 'members more girls are to become members. At the inter-city Girl Reserves Conference the club, Which is called the Laurel Club was repre- sented. More girls wanted to go than were allowed. This en- thusiasm will carry the club to higher things. The girls are now thinking about the summer plans for camp- ing. Then, too, there are hikes and the opportunities of this club cannot be enumerated. One of these opportunities was a cooking class held for eight weeks. Although this is past many more are to be brought forth in the future. These opportunities cannot all be shown now but the results will show themselves in the girls during the future. The library cannot be omitted, also the building itself as a place for seeing one's friends and the friends one makes are to be re- membered. This club is a real live organization and the girls are glad to be members of it. The members are as follows: Anna Aughinbaugh Pauline Brown Louise Rice Nellie Aumen Kathryn Conover Kathryn Sheads Janet Beisecker Lillian Diehl Mabert Spence Margaret Beisecker Christine Eberhart Alice Snyder Marion Biggs Helen Haner Letha Stoner Margaret Biham Laura Krout Mary Waybright Advisers: Frances Tawney, Mrs. Fortenbaugh, Anna M.

Svnrivima ilaiina This club was formed with the object of increasing the knowl- edge of Roman life, language, and customs and to increase the interest of the students for the language. Besides these aims there was also the aim of developing a spirit of companionship among the members of the club. The officers of the club are: L President ........ .........

No new members were received from the Sophomore class this year as Miss Bream, the faculty adviser, said she did not know what the Latin instructor would do next year about a club and it was better to wait until next term of school. - -- - - -P Page Eighty- The PLEMOGH lIDffirm'5 nf CEUF5 Olnunril Faculty Adviser President .....

It was the An- nual Banquet of 1926 that seemed to act as the starter. This banquet was held at the Eagle Hotel and it was on this occasion that the association presented Miss Helen Cope, the greatly admired and respected teacher of them all, who was re- tiring, with a diamond ring. At this banquet the music was fur- nished by an All G. H. S. Alumni Orchestra. p . During the Christmas Holidays we held our annual basketball game and dance. Both events were held in the Hotel Gettysburg Annex, the dance coming directly after the game. The dance and game were Well attended by the members of the Alumni As- sociation and their friends and it is on these annual occasions that old friends meet again and have some new ones added to the list, for graduates of G. H. S. always will be friends of each other and the friend of their friend's friend. Then April brought the Alumni Play, The Whole ToWn's Talking, and this was another high score for the Association be- cause it seemed to meet with the hearty approval and commenda- tion of the show going public. ' The next event on our schedule is the annual banquet, business meeting and reception of new members, to be held in the New High School building May 28, 1927. On this occasion We will also celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Alumni Association. President C. C. Culp and committee have arranged quite an ex- tensive program for this event and we trust that We will have the hearty co-operation of all the members of the association in making this event the best in the now 25th year of the organiza- tion. .

They sang for Directors' Convention and it happened that the State Director of Music was at this meeting. After the quartet had sung he immediately came back stage and heartily congratulated each member of the quartet and said that he hoped the quartet would continue as an organization and try to develop their music as high as possible. This is an idea that the incoming classes of G. H. S. should adopt and carry out because if you aim at high things in the line of music you will find that a male quartet is one of the best and most liked forms of musical expression. There are many good voices among the boys and if you will start the idea you will come to like it even as much as you do athletics.

Page Ninety-five The PLEMOGH Page iinety-six - The PLEMOGH Gbrrhrntra For the past two years the orchestra has seemed rather poor to the older students of the high school but this is due to the fact that they were used to hearing the G. H. S. Orchestra when it had some very talented musicians for members. When these graduated the orchestra was naturally weakened considerably but they have really done great things under the handicap of in- experience. In the next year or so though G. H. S. is going to have another really fine orchestra for throughout the grades a great deal of instrumental talent gives promise of future laurels for the G. H. S. Orchestra. The orchestra this year did not appear in public until rather late in the year but when they did they gave a creditable account of themselves. Since the Athletic Play they have appeared rather often and although their music wasn't up to the old stand- ard of G. H. S. it was as good as the average small high school orchestra usually gives. Next year we are hoping that everyone takes a great interest in this organization and pushes it on to the success that could easily be realized with a little more real honest effort. PERSONNEL.

Pinaforef' Although many times before the High School had presented musicals it never before attempted an opera and so it is to be complimented. The leading members- of the cast handled their parts with dexterity and they can be most heartily congratulated. V THE CAST.

Frances Eberhart Little Buttercup, A Portsmouth Bumboat Woman Madoyln Culp The story is woven about Ralph Rackstraw who is deeply in love with his- captain's daughter and although she loves him she conceals her love because he is only a humble seaman while she is his captain's daughter. The Captain wishes his daughter to marry Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., but when Ralph, driven to des- peration by the rejection of his love trys to end his life, Jose- phine discloses her love for him. The Captain becoming furious because of this utters an oath and as a result Sir Joseph orders him to his cabin with celerity and sends Ralph to the dungeon. It is then that little Buttercup, who has been acting so mysteri- ously, reveals her secret-that many years before when she prac- ticed baby farming she nursed two babes, one of low condition the other a patrician, and how she mixed these children up and not a creature ever knew it. The well born babe, she said, was Ralph, and the Captain was the other. ,So their positions are reversed and Ralph is given command of the ship and Corco- ran becomes a common sailor. Thus a marriage between Ralph and Josephine is now possible and the former Captain unites his future with that of Little Buttercup. 1 .Rage One Hundred 0 The PLEMOGH Page bne Hundrecir ffwo Cast For The Youngest The PLEMOGH Uhr lgnungrnf' The Youngest had the honor of being the first play to be pro- duced in the new high school auditorium.

The color scheme for the decorations was orange and black, and they were very at- tractively arranged. The costumes were very appropriate for the Hallowe'en season depicting many fanciful characters, and showing a great display of many colors. The committee who had charge of arrangements and the decorations Were: Betty Plank, Madolyn Culp, Ibby Mumper, George Burgner and Don- ald Stoner. Those 'Who rendered assistance which was very much appreciated were: Frances Tate, Sara Galbraith and Dolly Reaser. - ' During the .dance doughnuts and cider were sold by members of the Senior Class. After intermission the orchestra played a Paul Jones and every one seemed to be gushing with joy. The dance was a huge success because those that were there not only enjoyed themselves, but the class treasury was greatly increased. About seventy-five couples attended, andemusic was furnished .by the Penn Ramblers. S Page One Hundred Nine The PLEMOGH Uhr Senior 1Hrnm The Senior Prom was held Friday, May 6, and Was the finest event ever given in Gettysburg High School. Our class colors were used to carry out the decorations, which were purple and gold. They were very attractively arranged as an inside tent.- At either end of the floor were placed French doors, one leading into a garden and the other into an adjoining room where the orchestra was placed. There was also a booth for the patrons and patronesses that was very artistically ar- ranged with floor lamps and wicker furniture. The Prom started at 9 o'clock sharp and lasted until 1 A. M. Those four hours were the shortest hours we ever spent, as the dance was a great success and also very beautiful. Not only a few enjoyed themselves but every one did. Even the spectators we had enjoyed themselves, as they said the orchestra, which Was Marlen Burd and his Cadets, was mighty fine. During intermission we had an added attraction as Malven Sheppard gave his famous dance the Charleston and many other steps. . The committee who had charge of securing an orchestra Were: Dale Bream, Ross Koons, Chauncey Buohl. , The committee for decorations Were: Dorothy Taughinbaugh, Frances Tate, George Burgner, Donald Stoner. Patrons and patronesses were: Mr. and Mrs. Plank, Mr. and Mrs. Bender, Mr. and Mrs. Black, Mr. and Mrs. Keefauver, Mr. and Mrs. Lefever, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. P ge Cue Hundred T ATHLETICS E The PLEMOGH Coach Martin X Asst. Coach Haehnlen i'a.ge One Hundred Eleven The PLE-MOGH illllr. Martin. limb Gluarh Mr. Martin comes from West Chester Normal and his example certainly speaks well for that school. He soon showed everyone that he knew his business in football but still they had to be shown about basketball and baseball but finally he satisfied them all and theysettled down to follow him just as they did our for- mer coach, Prof. Reynolds. Mr. Martin coaches basketball and baseball entirely himself but in football he is aided by Mr. Haehnlen. This past year be- ing Mr. Martin's first year here was of course a hard one for him. Also the athletic teams lost a great deal through graduation last year and he had to build up a great deal of green material. This was by no means an easy job but he got to work and he got splendid results for, although the teams put outby G.. H. S. in this past year were not the best in the history of the school still they were fine teams and did the school and coach credit. In the years to come we will no doubt hear splendid things of Mr. Martin's work with the athletic teams of G. H. S. f Q , -' xp, w,-, -e iilllr. Eaehnlrn, Aunt. Zllnnihall Qlnarh. Glrark Glnarh .Mr. Haehnlen has been assistant football coach for the past three years and his Work with the line has been very valuable especially in building up a strong defensive team. In basketball and baseball he does not help but this year he found his real line as a coach for track. He was himself a famous track star at Gettysburg College and he knows this kind of work from beginning to end. This year is the .first year that G. H. S. has ever had a regular track team and when the call came for candidates there were plenty of applicants. Mr. Haehnlen started work as soon as the weather permitted and drilled the boys unceasingly in this work, trying to get them in shape for the May Day Meet. So thorough was his work here that G. H. S. not only won the 'Meet but they scored more points than all the rest of the high schools put together. This speaks well for both the members of the team and their coach and as the track team seems to have become a new perma- nent addition tothe G. H. S. sport list, great results may be looked for in the next few years. Page Gne Hlllldlg-1 el The PLEMOGH Charles Lightner . Jere Bream Captain Captain- Elect Page one Hundred Thirteen The PLEMOGH GLI1arlir iliglytnrr, Olaptain 1925 ilinnihall Squah In this past football season Slim proved himself to be a most competent captain. He was always alert and on the lookout seeking every possible advantage for his team and besides this he was well liked and respected by his teammates. He played his old position at left-tackle and the rest of the .boys always knew that no matter what happened thatside of the line would hold. Many is the time that an ambitious opponent has hurled his at- tack against Charlie and the result was nearly always the same, he beat them back. Although the season under Slim's cap- taincy wasn't the most successful one G. H. S. has ever had, it was still a season of which any captain could well be proud. Charlie is going to college next year and everyone expects to hear of him often in the gridiron news. Jere Bream, Qlaptain-Elm 1927 Zlinnthall Equal! In the election of J ere as football captain for next year the team made a very wise selection. He is first of all, very popular among the fellows and they will back him and second J ere knows football. He isn't nor does he pretend to be, one of the big stars of G. H. S. but he is a good consistent player with plenty of nerve and endurance. He knows the technical side of football as few fellows in high school know it and this one quality alone makes him capable of becoming a good captain. We might mention by the way that Jere is following pretty closely in the footsteps of his brother Junie who was also center and captain of the foot- ball team inshis Senior year. A Page One Hundred Fourteen The PLEMOGH Q I d lla Sq Football Page One Hundred Fifteen V The V Zllnnihall Football season this year was very successful when you con- sider the fact that we had to build up at least one half of our team from the scrubs of last year. However, as soon as school opened, Mr. Martin got busy and began to put the entire squad through stiff workouts to get them into good physical condition, then about a week later he began the selection of the material for the team. As soon as he had his varsity selected he began serious offensive and defensive work and under his careful in- struction the team was gradually moulded into fine shape. The iirst game was with Phoenixville and although our team was in fine shape they failed in team work that day and as a result Phoe- nixville won the game but our boys had learned a lesson and al- though that wasn't the only game they lost that year it was the only one in which they didn't play together. l The team loses several varsity men by graduation this year but from the looks of last year's scrubs there will be plenty good ma- terM to take their place. The varsity men that graduate this year are: Buohl, Lightner, Gibbs and Robinson. These men will how probably go on to colleges and every one is hoping to hear big things of them, whether in the class-room or on the football field., The members of next year's team have every reason to expect an A1 season and if they don't have one it willbe their own fault for the natural ability is there and they have excellent coaches and leaders so there is every reason to expect that next year's season will be one of the best G.

One essential qualification of a good captain of any sport is that he himself be at least as good as the average player. This qualification Chaunce had and to a marked degree for some people even went so far as to say that he was one of the best basketball players that ever graduated from G. H. S. No' matter what anyone says Chaunce was a mean customer on the basketball floor. This past year was a hard year to get up any real enthusiasm among the players and fans because the year before 'Was more or less of a joke as far as basketball was concerned and there were many who didn't expect anything bet- ter this year. But when the boys started out they opened quite a few eyes- and although they didn't continue this whirlwind pace they did have a mighty creditable season and Chaunce can feel mighty proud of being the captain of the G. H. S. basketball team of 1926-27. 'fSrrm:hie Errata, Qlaptain-Tiled Eaakrthall Gram Screechie is one of those fellows often found in high schools that are all-around athletes. That is they play almost every- thing and they are outstanding stars in whatever branch they play. Football, basketball and baseball, Screechie plays them all andj in each he is one of the outstanding stars. Especially in football and basketball is this true. He is one of the most capa- ble and most dependable athletes ever turned out by G. H. S Very popular with the fellows,--yes, and the girls are just crazy about him,-he seems to have all of the most essential qualifica- tions for the leader in athletics and next year when he brings his team out on the floor We will all give him the hand for we'll know that the team he has with him is a good one. !-- - Page ,One Hundred Eighte The PLEMOGH Page One Hundred Nineteen Varsity Balketball T The PLEMOGH Eankrthall This year the basketball season started off with a bang. Every thing was newg a new gymnasium, new coach, new uniforms and best of all new pep. The way the boys played basketball at the beginning of the season led some of our optimistic fans to pro- phesy great things for the boys. However, they started out too good and although they played excellent ball throughout the season their game didn't come up to the standard that the first part of the season had led their backers to hope for. They started out at a whirlwind pace and weren't able to continue it. It was a decided improvement on the one of the previous year. In basketball everyone again saw that Mr. Martin was capa- ble of filling his position as Athletic Coach of Gettysburg High School. He was thoroughly acquainted with his job and he had the majority of the fellows with him. In the years to come great things may be expected of the athletics in G. H. S. if he continues to direct them. A S THE SCHEDULE. Dec. Dec Dec 18, American Legion at home . . . 23, Hanover H. S. at home .... 27, Alumni at home ......... Jan. 1, Reading at home ......

These fellows had a remarkably good team this year and several of them were varsity substitutes. The idea of the second team having a regu- lar schedule was instituted several years ago and it has proven to be very valuable. In these games the future varsity men get their real experience of the game and indeed the school as a Whole takes almost as much interest in their games as they do in the varsity games. The Junior Varsity of G. H. S. has been remarkably good ever since it was started and every year the results show them on the long end of the scores. It is in these games that the varsity-men- to-be get their real experience and this fact improves the varsity, and helps the players to get a better grasp of the technique of the game.

But what a job Mrs. Kelly had. There wasn't one girl out of the entire lot that had ever handled a basketball and as most girls usually do at first, they showed their apparent hopelessness as soon as they tried to play a game. But Mrs. Kelly didn't despair, instead she continued working with them and sooner than you would think, several began to get real well acquainted with the ball and were able to handle it fairly well. In this work Mrs. Kelly certainly deserves a great deal of credit for to anyone looking on, the job of teaching that bunch of girls how to play basketball looked almost hopeless. But due to her splendid work and to the hearty co-operation of the girls themselves she had, at the end of the season, a very good team. They only played one or two games with rival schools but in these games they certainly showed the result of their excellent coaching. Most of the games they played were among the four classes and these games were very beneiicial to them in that they gave them practical experience in playing. Next year, however, the girls will probably have a schedule the same as the boys and then they too will add their share to the glory of G. H. S. in the world of sports. Snphnmnre Basketball Gram , These youthful looking stars are the class champions of G. H. S. At the beginning of the Interclass Basketball Contests the year book staff promised to put the picture of the winning team in the Plemogh and that which you see on the opposite page is the result. However, for a group of boys without any coaching they really had a line little team and certainly deserved their title of Class Champions. . These interclass events drew much interest this year and no doubt will be developed in the years to come. It promotes enough spiritfof rivalry to give the movement progress and progress in all lines is what we seek for G. H. S.

He has been with us four years and for three years he has been on the varsity baseball team and for three years he has been clean-up man on the batting list. Deucey has gotten somewhat of a reputation as a slugger since he has been in high school and when he gets up to the plate we generally see results. Deucey is, besides being a good baseball player, an honor student and one of the most popular fellows in the school. Page due Hundred Twenty-s The PLEMOGH Page Ohe Hundred Twenty-seven Baseball Team The PLEMOGH Eaarhall So far this season the team has been going fine. Gibbs is showing what he really can do on the mound and the rest of the team is right back of him. The first three games of theseason werereasy victories for G. H. S. and one was an especially sweet one. That was the one with Prep. There had been a great deal of talk about what they were going to do to us and all that sort of thing but when Deucey Bream and his teammates started to play some opinions were hastily changed. The season was cut up considerably due to the rainy weather and many of the games scheduled were not played on account of the rain. For the past two or three years G. H. S. has had an excep- tionally fine record in baseball and although the team suffered greatly from last year's graduation it is still able to uphold that old time standard. Gibbsis showing up 'mighty fine on the mound and also there are several lower classmen who are show- inggreatpromise for future mound triumphs. The infield is very goodand stays right back of the man on the mound from beginning to the end. One thing to always remember about G. H. S. in athletics is that she turns out exceptional teams in all branches of the sports in which she participates and that true men of G. H. S. always play fair. That is the standard that has been held up for many years in G. H. S. and it is one that should always be recognized as the best for us all whether in school or out. Do our work ex- ceptionally well and give the other fellow a square deal. ' V - THE SCHEDULE. April 8, Frederick, away ....... G.

S. had a track team but even though the team lacked experience they 'came through with first honors in the May Day Meet. In this meet G. H. S. won first place in six and tied for first place in another out of eight events. This gave G. H. S. more points than all the rest of the High Schools put together. The team is very fortunate in having for their coach Fred Haehnlen, a former Gettysburg College track star. He has Worked hard with the boys ever since the weather has been fit to go out to the track and the results have been most gratifying. A great deal of credit must be given the members of the team be- cause in order to be a good track man one must observe very strict training rules and must apply himself earnestly to the finer points of running and jumping for speed and distance can be developed in a track man just as endurance and accuracy may be developed in a basketball star. These training rules are very severe on some and iftthey observethem asethey should they are certainly deserving of a great deal of credit for these rules prac- tically deprive one of all favorite pleasures. The end towards which they work is Worth the sacrifice however, for there is no branch of sports whose .practice develops the body towards a higher degree of perfection than track work. The school as a whole has shown a reasonable amount of inter- est in this team and indications point towards a larger and bet- ter track team next year. The number of boys in the high school is not great when you compare them with the numbers of boys in other schools that G. H. S. meets in athletics, ,and some think that there is not enough material to maintain a baseball team and track team both but the results of this year have disproved that statement. Of course there are many men out for baseball that would make good track men but that is no reason why there shouldn't be other material in the high school just as good. In fact much of the material for the track team this year was found among the lower classes and if these boys continue to develop throughout the rest of their high school course they will be ex- cellent trackmen. ' More glory and fame to G. H. S. small in quantity but tremend- ous in quality. Page One Hundred 'rim-my M b Tl1ePLEMOGH D I S .fn N Am 45 0- N . in 1 x Lck ' f xxx . N ix f f !

A certain young lady by the name of Gertrude Murphy who lives at 333 E. 33rd St., is employed at the Star Shirt Co., where she sews buttons on shirts. In order to get to work on time she is forced to take a train which gets her to her destination an hour before the factory opens. To while away this time she often sits and listens to the little birds chirping overhead. As Bill from the Bowery would tell it. ' Liddle Goity Moify lives on Toity Toid St. and woiks in a shoit factory sewing poil buttons on poiple shoits. When it's too oily to Woik she sits on the coib and listens to de boidies choip. As a young man from Harvard would say it. Petite Gertrude Murphy resides in the very fashionable sec- tion on Thirty-Third Street. For something to destroy the en- nuie of the long days she has a position in a garment factory where she spends many enjoyable hours fastening buttons made of the treasure of the oyster securely to various colored articles of apparel. When the hour is unsuited to this method of recrea- tion because of its earliness, she, treats her aesthetic soul to the enjoyable music of the native song-birds in their habitat. As I would put it: Each morning at the hour of six when no one else is stirring I often see a pretty girl who to her train is hastening. She stands out sweet and quite demure against the motley crowd. Her home is down on Bleeker St. I think near Thirty-Third. Some clothing establishment had the luck of putting her on its pay-roll. The livelong day she sews silk shirts to buttons made of imita- tion pearl. When it happens that she gets to work before the rest, she listens to the birdies as they flutter and chirp in the trees. As Bobby Burns would have put it: 0 wad some power the giftie gie us To see our shirts ere they do reach us. Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie. The working girl, a trifle hasty. My sooth! Right bould she sets her ears And the birdlings bonnie chirp she hears. Page One Hundred Thirty-two The PLEMOGH Oh, officer, officer! There's a man following me and I think he must be drunk.

Sammie: 'Cause I Wanted to go. IN ANY DORM. You look all shot, Ned. Didn't you sleep well? No! My roommate and I suffer from alternate insomnia. Alternate insomnia? What's that ? Why, whichever of us gets to sleep first keeps the other awake. BRIGHT YOUNG MAN. NoIa, will you marry me ?
