Q EHHHUH-HID Q SENIOR CLASS HISTORY . I-IE illustrious group known as the Class of 1931 entered Gettysburg High School early in September, 1927. This was one of the high spots in the annals of G. H. S., for on that day, 117 Freshmen began their high school career. Of course it goes without saying that we were the brightest class ever seen in this vicinity. The Sophomores tried to crush our youthful pride by telling us that our brightness was only conspicuous through the brilliancy of our greenness. We were irrepressible, however, because, what did the opinion of upper-classmen mean to us? It didn't take us long to settle down to work in the regular routine of school life. The subjects weren't so very hard, and the teachers were really human, after all. In a few weeks it was almost impossible to tell us from Seniors fthat was what we thoughtj , excepting for the fact that we invariably sat down too soon in Assembly, cutting out the salute to the Hag. Under the supervision of Miss Alwine, our class advisor, the following officers were elected to serve during our first year: Donald Swope ......................................r...............,..... .................. P resident Edith McCleaf ......... ......... V ice-President Louise Hartzell ...................................................................................... Secretary Charles Rupp ...........,..........................,............................... . ...r............. Treasurer Little was done as a class in this year. Although we felt big, the others seemed so much bigger that we were a trifle overawed. When June came,it released 117 Freshmen, soon to be Sophomores, to the joys of sum- mer and vacation. When we met again the following fall, our number was reduced to 98. What we lacked in quantity we soon made up in quality, and in the end, it's quality that counts. A The election of officers was held the latter part of September. The results of this thrilling poll were: Edward Bulieit .............................. .................. P resident Beatrice I-Ieck ........................ ......... Vice-President ' Edith McC1eaf ........... .... ................................... S e cretary Joseph Reaser .,,,,,,...,,..............................,............................................. Treasurer Miss Alwine left us, so a new advisor, Mrs. Kelly, was chosen for us. Although we regretted losing Miss Alwine, who had helped us so much our Freshman year, we welcomed Mrs. Kelly, who proved to be a splendid leader. This year we were very proud to have a member of our class in the play Seventeen , i'Ted Bulleit took a leading role in this production. Vacation again approached and thoughts of summer filled the minds of every one, even the teachers'. N iueteen
