Our memories will always be A precious treasure store. Now let us pull aside the misty veil, And gaze through Future's door. Poised in all her beauty, The mystic Future stands, A sparkling hope within her eyes, And a challenge in her hands. She offers new hopes, new fortunes, And gladly gives us the key To the golden opportunities, Which all around we see. She opens the door to many careers, And bids us find our place. We enter, led by her guiding hand, And cheered by her smiling face. But the Future will turn into Present, And the Present fade into Past, And only the memories of former years Will be left for us at last. fi Amidst the recollections, f' ' That will make our fond hearts sigh, ,fi Will be the cherished memories ' ' Of our own John Harris High. K.. 1 Like the sacred fire of the virgins, ff That was always kept aglow, A Our hearts will burn with a lasting love, For the school that we all know. , ,X And so although we say farewell, Our life here to sever, X XVe'll keep you, Alma Mater dear, 1 In our memories forever. if -Betty Clouser , Q l 4 W N R, ' .9 ,X X.

There aren't any windows in it or any pictures on the walls. Wait a minute! Here's something-a door. This room's tiresome anyway. Let's go some- where. Look at this door. It has letters on it: P-A-S-T. Look's interest- ing! Who's afraid? Come on! Itls easy to open. Another Room! Well, this one has plenty of pictures in it. Look at this one. Aren't those kids funny-looking? Hey! wait a minute, I'm on there! There we are on the day we graduated from Edison. We felt big and important then. Here's another funny one: our first day at John Harris. Not so important and confident, are we? You might almost say we're a little bit scared. How those upper-classmen did razz us! How about our first assembly. We certainly did dread it and when it was over we thanked our lucky stars because Mr. Severance talked the whole period. Speaking of Mr. Severance, do you remember how nicely he explained that the glass in the doors was not put there to look through? Here's another one, dated September, 1928. Now since we knew our way around, it wasn't so bad after all. It seemed like home. But we didn't get much attention. When it was Times subscriptions, Athletic Association, Year Book, or tickets to one thing or another, of course our important cooperation was needed but otherwise we didn't count much. We weren't funny anymore since there was a new set of greenies and we werenit important enough to play a big part in school activities. The only thing left to do was to be serious and studious. Look at this set of pictures. These aren't so bad. Our Junior year! We began to be somebody for should I say somebodiesj about that time. They told us that was our big year since we were not busy getting used to the place and we weren't all excited about leaving soon either. Well, we didn't have a bad time that year. Look at the books we're carrying home. Those teachers must have thought we liked to study. We just realized what an easy life the Sophomores had. Didnit we feel queer those first few days when we had lunch at eleven-twenty? We weren't a bit hungry. We soon got over that, however. We learned how to get to the cafeteria in the quickest possible way and how to dodge the traffic oiicers. Our technique improved daily. We began to take a bigger part in school activities that year too. We joined clubs and started to participate in auditorium pro- grams. In the Fall it was just one thing after another. Football every Saturday It was ridiculous to take books home on Friday and as for - Monday classes-well, we had to have some sleep, didn't we? Then the J John Harris Fair came along. We were all on our toes ready to do some- thing-anything The great dav arrived What do we do first? Every- xx Qbody s talking and shouting and trying to sell us something all at once. X ' uy a Sturgis doll! Play Bingo! Right here 'you are, Hot Dogs, Ice X 'ream Cones Peppermint Sticksand Lemon! Don't you want to buy a -ose'? -and so on far into the night. Then Christmas vacation and we . soon be Seniors! 1 Y X 4 u Y Y? o g .4.-DL 3 . . 5-mn 5 fifty 19...PIONEER. .31 Here we are-Seniors. Don't we feel big, though? Do you see the dignified look? We were trying to be an example to the underclassmen. We couldn't keep it up long. It wasn't natural. Queer, wasn't it, we always thought Seniors were high and mighty beings-different somehow. Yet here we were and we hoped the Sophomores weren't looking up to us, be- cause they certainly wouldn't get much inspiration. Here's our first class- meeting. Nobody knows what to do or say. We decided that a man who knew as much as Mr. Phipps did would make a good advisor. He certainly did have to know something to advise us. The Presidency of the United States would be easy after that job. After a long time and much discus- sion we elected some officers. Time seemed to be flying fast. That was the shortest summer vacation we ever had. Back we had to como. Back we came to work and play and enjoy our last half-year as we never enjoyed school before. We had class meetings. We argued. Play, Operetta, or Fairg what should it be? We finally decided on a Fair, and we all know how it went over. We got through our work some-how-oh, those essays! We grew to know and like each other better and better. Gee, it's hard to leave. I wonder where we'll all be next year at this time, or five years from now, or ten, or twenty? Those pictures certainly were interesting. I'm glad that door will always be open. I'll want to go back sometimes. Well, well, here's another door. This one has F-U-T-U-R-E on it. Say, it's locked! Well, what do you know about that? The key is in the key-hole-on the other side! I suppose this is one of those things that will always remain a mystery. -Sylvia Clelan. ...gigiiga m fN D OCX r Haw- if .-' 3,1 .,..

John Harris had then been opened only one year and a half. It was hard, at hrst, foreus to forget dear old Edison but we soon learned to love our new school. Cur Hrst half year of school passed quickly, due perhaps to our interest in athletics and many other activities of the school. The basketball team had an unfortunate year but there were bright prospects for the next year. In baseball we were invincible since all rivals were defeated, even William Penn. The track team continued the excellent record of the baseball team by winning the majority of its meets and also winning the dual meet with William Penn. Of our four major sports John Harris gained victories in three, win- ning all but football. By this time our half year as green sophomores had passed and vacation came upon us. The vacation was over and we were again back to the old grind of studying. Most of us were glad, perhaps, to be in school furthering our education. The first day of school was a regular reunion of all the students. Football went along fairly well until we lost to William Penn, who incident- ally won the State Championship title. Although we were not so happy after the defeat at the hands of Penn, we knew that our team had put all they had into the game. ln February we became Juniors, as we had already completed one year in John Harris. The basketball team was rather unfortunate, as they won only over York in the first and last game of the season. Coach Al- bright's sluggers again had a very successful season, including victories over William Penn. In track we had a good team although we lost the dual meet to our uptown rival. Thus ended a fairly successful season for our athletic teams. Vacation having passed, most of us were again digging into books for knowledge. The halls and home rooms were scenes of rejoicing and handshaking. The football eleven started strong and continued throughout the season until Thanksgiving Day when we were held to a scoreless tie. - The coaches produced an undefeated eleven. If we had defeated William Penn, we should have had an excellent chance for the State Championship. X In December, 1929, the second John Harris Fair was presented for the benefit of the John Harris Band. The proceeds were used to buy all ew uniforms for the band members. The band looked well dressed in hei first appearance in their new concert uniforms. The basketball 1 J 1 if 1 L . p'Uf8' gt ' 1 ' F fifty-tu 11' A 19...PlONEER...31 dribblers with their sensational fighting spirit won the Interscholastic League Championship after an uphill battle. ln the second game with our uptown rivals we came from behind in the fourth quarter to win by one of the most thrilling rallies ever staged by a John Harris Team. Then we gained a victory over Williamspoit but lost out in the semi-Hnals for state honors when we were defeated by Lower Merion at Philadelphia. By the time most of us became dignified Seniors, when we realized that we had only one more year in our dear old Alma Mater. By overwhelming William Penn in both baseball and track we thus gained victories in three of the major sports and one tie. Since February the publication of the school paper The Times has brought to us all the news of the school. The Times seemed to increase the spirit of the students to a higher de- gree of loyalty. Before the close of school in June the class officers were elected and members of the Year Book Staff. Most of us were rather glad to come back in September to Hnish our last half year. The last semester would go fast as we had a lot of work to do. The class decided to have a Fair instead of a class play. Thus, there was work for all of us if we wished to make the Fa1r a success. Thus ends the history of our class which spent three short years of learning in a school which is now hard for us to leave. Consequently, we hope that the succeeding classes will continue to uphold the standards of John Harris which we have striven to protect. -Kcrmetlz R. Gccrfuicl-c. Qfv 'M X 'TX f Z' f of 17' Z.

SEVERANCE, FACULTY, STUDENTS OI-' JOHN HARRIS HIGH SCHOOL AND FRIENDS: Upon behalf of my client, the Midyear Class, 1931, of the John Harris High School, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, situated in the environs of the three large and beautiful industrial cities, Penbrook, Paxtang and Bellevue, all located in the State of Penn- sylvania, United States of America, you have been called to this assembly today upon a very solemn and serious occasion. To hear in the presence of all concerned, the Last Will and Testament of aforesaid class, and to receive from her dying hands, the few, but long cherished gifts which she has to bestow. While drawing these last breaths, which come slowly and irregularly, she begins to realize that the end of her pleasant life is coming quickly, she tries to collect her thoughts in order to distribute her gifts wisely, so that the recipients may use these gifts to the best of their ability and to the greatest advantage to themselves and mankind. In a condition such as hers, one is liable to mistakes, so on her dying bed she pleads that before anyone takes offense against her, he should consider her old age and her debility, and therefore, respect and cherish this her Last Will and Testament. She hereby gives the following possessions into your keeping, hoping that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has passed into the great beyond. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the documents as duly drawn up and sworn to. We, thc Midyear Class, 1931, in possession of a brilliant mind, slightly dulled by usage, do make and publish this, our Last Will and Testament: hereby, revoking and making null and void all former Wills and promises made by us, under the intoxication of study and the insanity caused by the C11:20j call to lunch. FIRST: We direct our funeral services to be carried on in the foyer, under the direction of the illustrious spirits of those who passed on before us. We request to be cremated at the feet of Minerva, and our ashes to be cooled by the tears shed by our most devoted friends. These ashes shall be placed in one of the sacred blue urns that now stand in our foyer, and shall then be carried to the river Styx, which encircles the infernal regions. We suggest as our pallbearers, Walter Cleland and Richard Elliot. They came from The Sticks, and to the Styx shall they return. After these directions have been carried out, clear the foyer and enjoy yourselves with song, dance, and bar-be-cues. Although we are poor, badly bent and ragged, we will generously bestow upon you, that which fate had seen fit to trust in our keeping. ITEM ONE: We do hereby will and bequeath to the June Senior Class of 1931, our place in the auditorium, accompanied by the responsibility of being the highest and most esteemed class in the school.

Mr. Sover- ance presided until Ross Sheesley was elected temporary chairman and Helen Feeser temporary secretary. At last we've been initiated into all the trials and tribulations of a Senior Class. No one agrees with anyone else's viewpoint. But we did get a Dean Committee appointed. Wasn't much need for that, for everyone knows who the Dean will be. April 16-Easter vacation-at last!!! It was a much needed one too. Even the teachers said so. May 1-Had our second class meeting and everyone was all excited!! But why not? Ethel Eshbach introduced our Dean, Mr. Phipps.

The girls just couldn't resist that winning personality and come hither smile, and so LaTrobe was elected President. May 14--Another election was held for the Senior Class Year Book Staff.

June 17-We've been waiting patiently for this day, and now here 'tis-Vacation ! ! ! September 2-First day of school and such a crowd!! Just think, diary, only a half-year. And we learned today too, that our class is to have the honor of graduating with Charles Schwab. September 14- Oh, isn't that darling! That's terrible! I like this one better! Oh, I take a wretched picture! These were the ex- clamations heard as we examined our proofs. September 27-Boy, what a game! Columbia High School was ab- solutely swamped, 25-0. Looks as if we'll have another undefeated team. October 3-Assembly, and Reverend Goodall was introduced. It sure its was some sermon, but we needed it, badly too. ff' l October 10-Ross Sheesley all dressed up today. Wonder who the inspiration was '?'?? Miss Swartz even persuaded him to make a speech in fs the auditorium. Big time!!!! 5 October 17-Big game tomorrow with York. Everyone should be f' there after that speech of Betty Latham's. Looks as if she's trying to take Ross' job away from him. October 30-Believe it or not, diary! Mort got a haircut today. A . . November 1-This makes the sixth game we've won. We're sure to e have a championship team at this rate. November 5--Ray has been absent 2 days now. Someone told us 'i that he's hunting for something. Wonder what'??'? 1 ' November 8-Another game won! Only Steelton and William Penn K , N left yet to conquer. And let's see-it must be tonight that Bennie Brandt ias that date with Marg fMr. Albright's been telling secrets againb.

We'll never forget it. December 13-Whoopee!! The John Harris Fair!!! There were concerts, movies, amusements, refreshments, dancing. Everyone was thrilled! And you should have seen Mr. Phipps, just wreathed in smiles. We don't know yet whether it was because of the success of the fair or because of the baby. January 5-Our short vacation is over, all too soon for us. Seniors, think of it-only 11 days more!!! January 16- The Last Day of School. Tears? yes, a-plenty. The weather man was thinking of us too, for he certainly made us slide to our Class Day. We sincerely hope that the coming Senior Classes will be backed in as fine a spirit as was ours. -Sarah E. Knauss. 5 Commencement Dance Have you ever been to the Harrisburg Country Club? If not, you should have been there on Friday evening, January 23, 1931. It was there that the Midyear Senior Class of 1931 held their Commencement Dance. What an ideal setting! This dance will never be forgotten by anyone who attended it. It will be remembered for its gayety and friendliness which existed throughout the entire evening. How attractive the girls looked in their formal gowns, gliding here and there with the boys to the rhythm of a really snappy orchestra. It Was here that the boys were needed to complete that most entrancing picture. The Club House was decorated in a color scheme of green and gold, which seemed quite appropriate to the occasion. The committee in charge consisted of: Fred Bankert, chairman, , -, Donald Beaner, Florence Bitner, Anna Eley, Sara Knauss, Ruth Shawfieldfizs and Charles Schwab.

This Fair, the greatest of all the John Harris Fairs, was held December 13, 1930, from twelve at noon to twelve at midnight. Everyone in the school aided in the sale of tickets, including the band, who re- ceived a percentage on the amount of tickets its members sold. Individual prizes, consisting of five dollars and two and one-half dollars, were offered to those individuals selling the most tickets. A ticket was given to each pupil in the home-room who sold the greatest number of tickets. A delightful program was presented in the afternoon consisting of a forty-five minute band concert, dancing by the younger pupils of Mrs. Ley's School of Dance Arts, songs by a quartet consisting of Betty Latham, Ethel Eschbach, Joseph Harvey, and Emory Buckeg dancing by Virginia Fox, followed by a movie. The evening program consisted of one-half hour band concert, dancing of various types by the pupils of Mrs. Ley's School of Dance Arts, and dancing by Virginia Fackler. Miss Thelma Snyder, a well known harpest of this city, gave a fifteen minute program, followed by a movie. From 9:15 to 12:00, a dance was held in the girls' gym, which was decorated in the class colors, green and gold. Music was furnished by Frankie Barbush and his Floridians. What an array of booths in the foyer, tastefully decorated! The booths consisted of Art and Novelty, Fancy Work, Candy, Cake, Country Store, Fish Pond, and Flower. The Art and Novelty Shop had a beautiful display of gifts, which were donated by the various business firms of Harrisburg. The Fancy Work Booth had everything for sale from aprons to gingham dogs and calico cats, which one could not resist buying. These articles were made under the direction of Miss Dorothy Martin, by the committee and other girls of the class. The Sweet Shoppe was just bubbling over with delicious candies and salted nuts made by the girls in the cooking classes, under the direction of Mrs. Avery. Who said anything about cakes? How delicious they looked and what a large quantity. One could certainly find his favorite cake among this huge assortment. The at last discovered one place, where we could fish without a license. Did you find it? At the Fish Pond everyone who fished was sure to get a bite. This proved great fun for the kiddies. If you didnit attend the Fair, you surely missed some bargains and fun at the Country Store. It was a typical General Store, with everything from shoe strings to canned goods and lemons with peppermint sticks. The Check Rooms, Bar-B-Ques and Games, were in the various rooms, while the Miniature Golf Course was in the boys' gym. It was made possible only through the kindness of Mr. Fecser and the boys of the committee. Say! did you try our Bar-B- Ques? If not, why not? They were the best you have ever eaten. They by far sur- passed those you ever bought at the Blue Pig. Bingo! NVho said anything about Bingo? And oh, yes, ski-ball too. What fun! Everyone desired to try their luck at winning a prize which was donated by some Harrisburg firms. The prizes consisted of lamps, toilet sets, blankets, pipes and other useful articles. The Committees and Chairmen were as follows: General chairman, Florence E.

Here's to your success, Coach, in turning out championship elevens in the future. JEROME FROCK Line Coach Coach Frock has completed his second suc- cessful year at John Harris as line coach. In these two years John Harris' line has been prac- tically unsurpassable, due to Coach Frock's tute- lage. He spends a great deal of his time with the Sophomores so that the teams of the future can keep up the fine record maintained in the past.

He is one of the largest boys on the Varsity Squad, and with his fighting spirit and his abundance of pep, he makes himself known. He sure can hold up a line with his size and strength and the opposing teams knew of his presence in the line. He has two more years in John Harris and he should be one of the shin ing lights on the next two football teams which will represent John Harris MAX JOHNSON Halyfbdclf Max is another one of Shorty Miller's products as he comes from Edison. The pa- pers call him the Fly- ing Cloud, Jr., and he certainly lives up to his name. Max runs like a streak and is twice as hard to catch. He will be on the squad for another year, and a stumbling block for the opponents. Max is a steady and dependable player We are sure that Max will make a name for him self and maybe he will be a second Fly ing Cloud.

PIONEER. .31 The Season Review THE COLUMBIA GAME On Saturday, September 26, the John Harris football team opened its season with Columbia High School. As the day was hot and stuffy it was not a very suitable day for football. There were about 3500 John Harris fans who witnessed this first game. Columbia was completely outclassed by the strong John Harris team. Many of the second string players were given a chance to play in this opening game. Sturgis, Barbush and Mauer were the outstanding players for John Harris. THE BETHLEHEM GAME On October fourth the John Harris team journeyed to Bethlehem to play that strong aggregation. A large number of Harrisburg people made the trip to Bethlehem to witness the game which was played before approxi- mately 6000 people. John Harris played superior football all during the game. They completely outplayed their opponents, and hard tackling, long end runs and brilliant line plays were the features of the game. Bethlehem had a fighting team and John Harris earned every touchdown. Dave Mitten gained a reputation by playing a bang-up game. Sturgis, Barbush and Walker were also outstanding in their playing. THE EASTON GAME The third game on the John Harris schedule was the powerful Easton team. This team was a hard team to defeat as the score of 20-12 would in- dicate. Easton's large delegation of rooters combined with those of John Harris swelled the crowd which witnessed the game to about 7000. This was a bitterly fought game throughout. Shortly after the opening whistle blew John Harris scored a touchdown, soon after that Easton scored, making the score John Harris 7, Easton 6. In the second quarter Easton scored their second touchdown on a long forward pass. The half ended with a score Easton 12. John Harris 7. In the third quarter, John Harris with a series of varied plays scored two more touchdowns and took the lead. In the final quarter the two teams battled, but neither team was able to score. This was a great victory for John Harris. Here again Sturgis, Barbush, Mitten and Mauer played important roles in the victory. Purdy and Warner were the outstanding players for the opponents. THE YORK GAME The fourth game of the season was played at York. York having a very weak team, it was a very easy victory for John Harris. Excitement was lacking throughout the entire game. The John Harris team romped up and down the field scoring at will. The sub-varsity played the greater part of the game. About 2500 fans braved the cold to witness the game. THE READING GAME Nothing exceptional in the way of breath taking moments were appar- ent in the Reading game. It was just one of those games in which neither team played exceptional football. Reading held John Harris scoreless in the first quarter, but after that the John Harris team scored easily and ran up a total of 26 points against their opponent. ,ggi THE LANCASTER GAME N The undefeated Lancaster High School team with a large crowd of fbllowers came to Harrisburg all set to get the scalp of the John Harris r team. The game was looked upon with a great amount of interest, as X Lacaster boasted of a great team, which it really had. This game was . xx ,-.-. 'f'1 ,Jig ninety- f o ur 19. . . PCIGNEER. . . 31 the hardest game which John Harris had played. Hard tackling and varied attacks by both teams made it a very exciting game. Both teams were evenly matched, but John Harris proved to have the superior team. This was a great football game from start to finish as both teams played hard football throughout the entire game. The kicking of Sturgis and the hard work of Barbush were great help towards the victory. THE STEELTON GAME One of the hardest games of the entire season was the game which was played at Steelton on November fifteenth. It appeared that the entire population of Harrisburg had moved to Steelton that day. The playing field was simply overrun with football fans. The spirit and cheering of both schools was at its best. John Harris battled on even terms for three entire periods without the backbone of the team in action. There were few gains made by either team as the entire game was a iight to the finish. In the last quarter the Flying Cloud dashed into the game, and a few minutes later scored the only touchdown of this great game. John Harris had a much lighter team but was able to withstand the attack of the much heavier Steelton team. Barbush, Mauer, Snyder and Van Daye were the outstanding players in the game. THE WILLIAM PENN GAME' November twenty-seventh, that great day for the two senior high schools of Harrisburg arrived. The interest in this game was so great that it was the talk of the entire city for several months before the game. John Harris started the game with a clean slate, and was favored to win. With the bands and cheer leaders from both schools there it appeared to be a battle of songs and cheers. The day was bitter cold, and caused some fumbling of the ball, but both teams fought brilliantly throughout the entire game, neither team gaining any ground from scrimmage. In the second period of the game Aikman got off a poor punt, and Sturgis grabbed the kicked ball and got away for a fifty-five yard run for the only touchdown of the game. In the second half neither team seemed able to gain any ground, and it turned into a kicking game. With the varied plays of both teams neither team could accomplish much. This was a great victory for John Harris as it kept the slate clean for the entire season. The entire team played great football. Here again Sturgis did some outstanding playing.

The members of the 1930 team Were: Leroy Weikert, John Sweger, Marlin Thompson, John Feeser, Albert Woollett, and Albert Bressler. These men will all be available for next year's team which should, con- sequently, have a very successful season. The team is under the able coaching of Mr. L. W. Phipps. During the past season tournaments have been played with Susque- hanna Township High School and Reading High School. Of the two I' matches played with each school John Harris Won one and lost one. The season was a very successful one and much can be expected from the F Bobby J ones of next year's team. X Qs . fx 5 ' !

So far as victory was concerned, however, the Harris netters proved them- selves disastrously Weak in singles. The only victories that were obtained from our fall opponents, the Academy, resulted from doubles, always the strongest feature of the John Harris Tennis Team. Another system that was inaugurated is the carrying of a squad of ten players instead of five as in former years. Any student not in the select ten may challenge one of the last four ranking players to gain a berth on the team. ln the two matches last fall, nine players participated. X 'Tx 2 .
