---BEQIQE HUGHESVILLE MON ARCH HIGH scHooL THE FRESHMAN CLASS Freshman History The Freshmen entered high school with a large number of pupils. From the borough we had twenty-two, and from the rural sections twenty-eight. We elected class officers as follows: President, Donald Barto, Vice President, Charles Park, Secretary, Elmer Guyerg Treasurer, Leona Hill. A few dropped out of school and at the present our Freshmen Class numbers twenty-live girls and nineteen boys. The class has been very active in all school functions. ln football, we were represented by Grant Boyer, Harvey Houseknecht, LaRue Houseknecht, and Grant Myers. In basketball, Grant Myers and Richard Weaver helped to make up the varsity squad, in baseball, Weaver, Harvey and LaRue Houseknecht, and Myers again represented. Our Home Room activities this year have been very interesting. Elizabeth Travalet was President of this activity and was ably assisted throughout the year by William Armstrong. Scholastically we have held our own with the rest of the classes, having each period from ten to twelve on the Honor Roll. Numerous parties were held throughout the year and also some food sales. Our class Treasury shows a comfortable balance. The Freshmen contributed more to the budget system than any other class, which shows that they patronized all the school activities. About two-thirds of the class are enrolled in the Academic Course, while the remaining num- ber are pursuing the Commercial Course. Several boys are members of the Future Farmeris Club, while a certain number of the girls are members of the Domestic Science Group. Our class advisor is Mr. Robert Smith.

---9-gig: I-IUGHESVILLIE MQNARCH HIGH SCHOOL 3, THE SOPHOIVIORE CLASS Sophomore Clow History Yv'ell! Well! Here we are! The Sophomore Class of the H. H. S. Blow me Down! Most of us arrived at this school last year from the Eighth Grade to final a group of jolly Farmers ready to make our class top-notch. We were rather ap- prehensive of the treatment we were going to receive from the blood-thirsty upperf classmen, but we discovered that if a Freshie', acted reasonably toward his superiors, they in turn would treat him in toleration. Our Freshmen oliicers were: Harold tShortyj Kahler, President, Henry fHenj Smith, Vice President, Elizabeth fLibj Sones, Secretary, and Dick Boak, Treasurer. This year our class dignitaries are the following: Max Seltezer. Presidentj Dick Boak, Vice President, Dorothy Minier, Sec- retary, and Don X5Uorthingtou. Treasurer. XVe were well represented in athletics, having Emory Qliumpj Worthington, Harold Boudman, Kenneth Fox, Dan McConnell, and Nyle fPicl-:lej Houseknecht attempting to achieve fame on the gridiron and George Turner, long and lanky, rep- resenting the Sophs on the basketball squad. In baseball, we have George Turner, Freeman Robbins, and Raymond Derr shag flies in the outfield, in track, Emory Wforthington, Kenneth Fox and Harold Boudrnan. Our class also has literary ability, being represented on the debating team and the other Forensic League activities. During our high school years our class promoted several social functions in- cluding a successful card party, a number of food sales, and various class parties. While this is only our second year at this school, we can truly say that We are Hughesville born, and Hughesville bred, and when we die, welll be Hughesville dead. Yifith this spirit ever drawing us upward we are determined to go out in the world and advance the fame and glory of Hughesville High School as far as pos- sible. MAX SELTZER, '55.

In the month of October, we were dismissed three days for the Lycoming County Fair. In October, we went for a weiner roast under the leadership of Mr. Kelsey. We then studied hard until Christmas.

Our teams defeated Montgomery twice and then lost to our own Eighth Grade by a score which was very close. We prepared another play for chapel entitled, The Days of the Week. We studied hard until April 14, our next holiday, Good Friday. We are now having our Physical Education out- doors, as in the winter we were forced to have our gym in the auditorium. just lately we started a debating club called the 'iCubs. We have had four debates in English Class and two in the Senior Home Room. We have the following boys going out for the events in the track meet. May 4: Wfilliam Thomas, Paul McConnell, Nyle Burlcholder, Kenneth Bab, and Leonard Boatman. Mr. Golder, our teacher, and his pupils have enjoyed a successful term.

History of Eighth Grade The Eighth Grade of Hughesville started the school year of 1952-53 with twenty- eight members in the class. We had our lirst party, November 18, at Eought's cabin. Everybody had a good time. Our boys proved to be very good in sports, playing basketball with the neigh- boring towns. W'e held a food sale March 25, to help pay for the encyclopedias we purchased. Basketball was not the only activity that we entered. A junior Debating Team was started with fourteen members entering. During our school term Mildred Andrews and Bruce Crossley moved from town, and Kathryn Weaver dropped out. Our commencement exercises were held May 26, with the plays, The Fickle Friend and The Crash of the Airmail given. Thus the Eighth Grade ended their school year. GEORGIANNA SMITH 8: REBECCA GINTER.
