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..
