With fond regret we leave our school, Our loved teachers' golden ruleg We part with classmates, real and true We leave it all-to start anew. If 'twas our own selfish desire- We'd be studfnts always and never die. We'd sing the praises of our Alma Mater, For better praises, you couldn't barter. We drink to you, Hooversville Hi, To greater victories, to best success. 'Tis a sad and hard thing, to bid you all adieu, You Freshmen cannot realize 'tis your dreams come trueg How we depart sadly. and not at all content When we leave old Hooversville Hi, Where our happy days were spent. Our teachers were our guardians, to guide us in our step, They were our inspiration, our ambition and our pep. And Seniors, one by one. will say Goodbye To such another Senior, who returns it with a sigh. And last of all Alma Mater, we bow adieu To Hooversville Hi, our love for you. ELEANOR SUNDAY. Senior Class Song. Tn time nf My Wild Irish Rose. If you listen, we'll tell you of our High School days, When we struggled along side by side, The joy and the sorrow in our memory stays And e'er and e'er will abide. They are now past and gone but we cherish them stillg The days that we spent in high school. Our parting brings sorrow and a tear in each eye As we say our final good-bye. CHORUS Our dear high High School days, the days we cherish so- Were happy and gay, we all went our way To work and to play. Now we say good-bye, though a tear is in each eye. We trust that we will meet, And Rnd happiness .complete Again in the sweet bye and bye. 12

19 1'L'1'L. '.l,.-..'Z H. H. S. .:::::::::i: 31 CLASS HISTORY. It was a nice day in September One October in July, When starting to Hooversville We Greenies so shy. We went to the professor To enroll for many classes, It was a wonderful enrollment That engaged us lads and lasses. The girls were talking gailyg The boys were full of gloom. At last we all ascended To an upper class-room. The time was Tuesday morning, On Wednesday just at night. We saw a number of teachers, And we could.n't get out of sight. And when the day was over, On that school we turned our backs, We' were very glad indeed to go home, Fcgl olur faces were whitewashed ac . September, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven found over a score of proud youngsters ready to start their high school career. We thought we knew sufficient to combat any difli- culties which may arise. 'At the end of the Freshman year we had been completely broken in and had settled down to be ordinary pupils. We were glad to see dear, old vacation come. A new term began! Jolly Sophs we were called. I must say we were a jolly bunch-ah, too jolly to please the faculty. Af-ter the second year ended we decided that if we were to become Seniors we had to settle down and do some hard work-so our Junior Class did. We traveled along very smooth- ly in high gear. Our third vacation was over. We had attained the long envied position of Dignified Seniors . We tried our hardest to wear the mask of dignity but all in vain. We were called the most carefree Senior Class in the his- tory of the school. Every other history has a war con- nected with it and so has ours. Our war began here four years ago. It has been a fierce struggle for learning. We have been taught while here that the most important facts about history are the causes and results. The causes for our war are CD a desire for knowledge C25 a struggling ambition. The result is the graduat- ing class now ready to start out in the world with the greatest victory. This victory of ours has four important fac- tors-the cultivated brotherly love that will last foreverg the love of our fel- low classmates, the joy in knowing that we have found a companion and friend in each of our teachers and the consolation that we have obtained a high school education, unique in ev- ery detail from one of the best high schools in Pennsylvania. We have added a pebble for the foundation of a greater Alma Mater and we hope that our presence here will not be forgotten.. GOLDIE SHAFFER iiiii-11 THE SENIOR CLASS iWILL We the members of the Senior Class of 1931, Ccommonly referred to as the I-Iooversville Silly Seniors! whereas: we have learned all the ways, wiles and weaknesses of this institution to such a degree as to allow us to gradu- ate, and as theday draws near when we are to sign off and whereas: we are of strong bod and mind Qocca- ssionallyl, we do liereby make this our last will and testament: Item I. To our honored and well-beloved principal, we hereby bequeath the peace of mind that will naturally fol- low our exit from the aforesaid in- stitution, the tranquility of soul and freedom from cares with which the aforesaid principal has been afflicted during our long and brilliant career. Item II. To our most esteemed faculty, who by their loving care and direction have caused us to extract bunches of our topmost and most valuable hair, we do give them, Cwhile despairing of our wretched conditionj, the ligne that blessings brighten as they e their flight. Even so may it be with us. Item III. To the Junior Class we leave that most priceless possession, the birth- right and pride of every Senior, that
