19...PlONEER...31 Such a game! Such pep! Such wonderful playing! Such music and cheering! Sturgis and Sheesley certainly put Wm. Penn in reverse! 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.

19. . PIONEER . .ai Diary February 1-Well, here we are on our last lap. Just can't realize that we're dignified Seniors at last, but it's true!!! April 14-Today the first Senior Class meeting was held. 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. CWe knew it all the time, didn't we, diary?J Our class is sure to be a success now. May 7-The Senior Class election! 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. Carl carried off the editor's job quite easily. Yensie always could write cleverly, and no doubt she'll be a big help. 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. Q, N X Xi X November 14-A pep meeting was held to create a spirit for the fair. K ' And what a clever Amos n' Andy skit!!!
