1 HUGHESVILLE I MONARCH Q HIGH SCHOOL 1 l l l We entered High School in the fall of !32 as jolly juniors, eager to make the most of the last two years of our high school life. The junior Class was well repe- resented this year by her athletes on all of the varsity teams, the varsity basketball team claiming four of our members. Our social activities this year were numerous, including one of the nicest junior-Senior receptions ever staged in the high school. Our class also played an important part in the literary side of the school, having a junior associate editor of the Monarch and many other juniors on the staff, Although our number was slightly less than the previous year we played an important part in the life of the school as juniors. XX'e left school this year looking forward with high hopes to our last year in Hughesville High School. In the fall of 1933 we came back to school to spend the last year of our school life. This, of course, was the greatest year we spent in the Hughesville High School. In athletics our class was the first to place all Seniors on a varsity team. This year we had many members on the staff of the school paper. One of our members, for the first time represented the high school in the state finals of the Forensic League. The members of our class this year numbered thirty-two having lost twenty since en- tering high school. We entered many social activities this year, the final one being the junior Senior Reception, which was a very fine one. And now with the twelve years of study behind us we are about to go out into the world in which we all aim to make a place for ourselves. PROPHECY HOKUS, POKUS, ALLOMA GOKUS! Swami Yogi will now gaze into his magic crystal and see what he will see! If somebody near the door will kindly turn out the lights, Swami Yogi will delve into the future and foretell the positions of the members of the Senior Class in 1955. Aha! Swami Yogi is going into a tr-r-r-ance. Heh! Heh! Heh! I see before me the illustrious class president, Stugmore Girton, shoving Grape Nuts Flakes and Post Toasties across the counter of Girtonfs Nation Wide Store while a little brat that looks like Evelyn Grittner blows breezes through the cauliflower with a slide trombone. On second gaze, I visualize Hilda Seibert crossing a Chevrolet with a typewriter and getting a Remington noiseless with knee--action wheels and an automobile with automatic back-space. Another look into my magic crystal revealsf-ahafCommy P. Herriman, the boy who made good, as head coach, physical instructor, faculty advisor, principal, and janitor of the Lairdsville Tech Normal School. Well, well, well and well! How could I miss jolly, Miss 'iRoofie McConnell who between selling harvesters, hardly has time to take care of the farm where she raises pigs, goats, cows, horses and Babs. XVay down there in the bottom of my crystal I see good ole Don Fox! The poor feller has to wear glasses now because he strained his eyes from the effect of the wink game at the weiner roast of the class of '33, It seems that 'he and Lunger have combined their American Stores and Weis Stores and now they're running an A 84 P in partnership. . And then therels Katherine Whipple, Kate has taken a great interest in the

CLASS WILL We, the class of 1934, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory, and understanding do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the school scale has merited. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Section 1 We give and bequeath to the Board of Directors and faculty restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise them the rest from the Thirty-four's petitions. It has been hard to have our fondest wishes thwarted, it must have been hard for them to refuse so fair a pleader. They have done their duty, and they have received their reward. We give and bequeath that our best and beloved sister Thirty-five will have all the wealth of love and blessing that she may want. May our mantle fall completely upon her shoulders. We give to the Freshman Class the following advice: Look at the class of Thirty- hve and be encouraged. Accept those things which will lead you to glory, learn to work if not to win.
