And there we believe one is not deceived, for she certainly can sing. “Zerrie” is well liked by all and undoubtedly will be as big a success in later life as she has been in her school life. More power to you “Zerrie.” y.errie” Class Song When up the aisle we’re passing From our school life, one by one, We’ll never forget you—never The class of ’.'51.

Haverford Township High School Class History I—THE SOWING WHEN the step from eighth grade to ninth was taken, the Class of ’31 shaped into a definite form. Although that event took place in Junior High it was none the less important. The first seeds of experience and success were sown and found fertile places in which to grow. The class earned a name for itself in the annals of the school because of its high scholastic rating—and also because of its jovial volubility. Mr. Timlin, our respected first home room teacher, endeavored to quench our too-ready flow of words. He was partially successful. In the latter part of our first year we decided to get together and imitate real people. This outbreak ended in a class party. Although Anne Crisman lost her ring in the punch bowl and one of the boys nearly swallowed the bauble, the party was a crowned success. Work anil play claimed us for the rest of that year, the worker being Ethel Glancy, the players being the rest of the class. II—THE HOEING In ’28 we really began to take root. Puzzled a bit, perhaps, by the different rooms and customs of Senior High, we nevertheless kept our heads about us. (We needed them.) The Class of ’31 soon discovered that various rumors had preceded us, and the faculty of Senior High was waiting, smiling, yet determined, to receive us as it was fitting to receive Sophomores gifted in the art of forbidden eloquence. No very important event marked our second year. However, our athlete, “El” Annulling, made great strides in hockey, track and basketball; and George Allen was wrell known as a coining star on the gridiron. Perhaps the most striking incident of this period was our numerical standing in the various studies. Our marks were a sight good to behold to teachers as well as to us. We were given encouragement and felt spurred on to tackle even more gigantic things in the later years of our high school career. Ill—THE GROWING At last . . . upper classmen . . . Juniors . . . All in three short years. At last we would enjoy some of our own personal parties and dances, given by us and for us. Our first fling was the Junior Prom. How we worked and how we practiced and polished up on the dancing! What a rush for dress suits, rented, borrowed, or bought! The Gym was decked out in splendor and a wonderful orchestra supplied the music. And what music!!! Lights, color, laughter, all played a large part in making the Prom a social success. Twenty-nine
