WILL We, the members of the senior class of Huston Township High School, having arrived at the point in our careers where Trails Divide, and fully realizing that dangers lurk along the trail, have decided to leave behind us for safe keeping in the hands of our trusted school janitor, Mr. R. K. Williams, all our valuable belongings, to wit, as follows, namely, etc.: 1. We first request that all our grades be thoroughly disinfected so that there will be no danger of the Juniors catching them from us. 2. We further request that all our textbooks be thrown away, least underclassmen may some day find out where we gained all our knowledge. 3. To our teachers we leave the hope that they may some day have the privilege of teaching students as well behaved and intelligent as we have been. 4. To our Principal we bequeath our strict attention and cooperation in P. 0. D. class, our profound admiration and hope that in the future his work will be less tedious than when we were there to help him. 5. To our home room teacher, Mr. Cheslock, we leave our deepest respects, because if he hadn’t had a lot of patience and a good sense of humor, he wouldn’t be around now to read this. 6. We leave to Mrs. Hawk any stray notes that may have been lost at choir practices, and without her untiring patience our graduation activities could never have been such a success.

In November we had a class meeting to choose our play.. The play “Take It Easy” was staged April 19, 1950. We sold chances on a ham for Easter. We also held dances on St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. On May 10, 1950 the Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Dimeling Hotel in Clear- field, both Juniors and Seniors having an enjoyable evening. Our long awaited “Senior Year” began on September 5, 1950. Our first class meeting was held and the following were elected as the class officers: President .......................... Stanley Cheslock Vice President Donald Amoriello Secretary ........... Jean Smith Our activities to raise money for the Washington trip were: Selling magazine subscriptions for the Curtiss Publishing Co., Christmas cards, chances on turkey and a ham, Halloween dance, Magician show' and a Ventriloquist show. We held our class play “Aunties’ Money” on March 9, 1951. The cur- liain that was purchased for the play was donated to the Gym by the Senior Class. This was the first play in the Gym. On Friday, April 13, we held our second class meeting and picked our class motto: WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE. We went to Washington on a 4-day trip beginning on April 19. Some of the highlights of the trip were Gen. MacArthur’s parade, United States Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Federal Bureau of Investi- gation, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Smithsonian Institute, Arlington Cemetery and Mt. Vernon. June 1, 1951 we held our Class Night program at which time the mantle was presented to the Junior Class. June 3, 1951 we held our Baccalaureate service with Rev.

June 6, 1951 we held our Commencement Exercises in the Gym which included a pagent presented by the seniors “In Honored Glory.’ June 7, 1951 the Seniors had the annual school picnic at Parker Dam. The weather and food were both very good and everybody enjoyed them- selves.—Patricia Lewis. Treasurer Advisor Patricia Lewis Mr. Cheslock

7. We bequeath to all the clashes our neat home room (which always had the library books in perfect order), our modesty, good intentions, and the patience that they will need to get through their four years of high school. j8. To the Freshmen we leave a desire that they may follow in our footsteps. We realize that our footsteps are big, and that this will be difficult to do; but they can keep trying. 9. To the Sophomores — now who could do anything for a sophomore? Sophomores see all, hear all, know all. They need little of our help, so we give them our best wishes. 10. We have pondered long about what we should do about the Juniors. We cannot leave them our good looks for we have none. We cannot leave them a trust fund, for we have always found it difficult to get the fund without the trust. We can leave them nothing to eat, for we ate every- thing in sight at the Junior-Senior Banquet. 11. To our Alma Mater we leave our love, our loyalty, and our un- faltering belief that she is the best high school anywhere. 12. To all those we have failed to mention, who think we should have left them something, we leave the memory of one of the finest classes ever to graduate from Huston Township High School. Anthony Guido — leaves his driving ability to Marlyn Thomas. Anna Hutchins — leaves her ability to take absentees to Jessie Newell. Anna Smith — leaves her bashfulness to Josephine Newell. Joyce Burkett — leaves her conversations in study halls to Marjorie Sherry and Marcella Kostecki. Patricia Lewis being sound in mind and memory, usedevery thing before she left. Jean Smith — leaves her singing ability to Rose Potempa. Dale Park — leaves his being late for school to Francis Maholtz. Anthony Asalone — leaves his bashfulness to David Renwick. George Gontero — leaves his great talking ability to Ted Chiodo and Irvin Serafini. Donald Amoriello — leaves his ability to keep away from women to Robert Nelson. Stanley Cheslock — is leaving PERIOD. Leonard Nelson — leaves his hot-rodding to Donald Guido. Eugene Rebo — leaves his basketball ability to Francis Maholtz. In witness whereof, we have as president and secretary respectfully, on behalf of the class of 1951, hereunto set our hands this the First day of June, 1951. John Cheslock, President Jean Smith, Secretary
