FOREWORD Suddenly weare seniors, looking back. Looking back on our work-the experiments we performed in chemistry, the pies we baked in home ec., the mystery of typing and shorthand-quite clear, now, the Span- ish verbs we memorized. And we remember our hours of pleasure-the glamour of the Junior Prom, the thrill of class plays and the fun of working on the Monarch, the hours spent at Ted's, the excitement of basketball games. We remember the dam frozen in winter and warmed for swimming in summer. We remember walking home from school on spring days, coats off, steps slow. But most of all We remember the people -the teachers who are suddenly our friendsg our class- mates, some, friends since primary school and fresh- men days, some, new friends. We leave the school room for the last time. We arenit high school students nowg we aren't coming back. But somehow we can,t say good-byv.

H BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education Wishes to congratulate the members of the Staff and the Faculty Advisers for a Well arranged and complete list of school events and activities for the 1947-48 term. Each year a better school annual has been produced and the Board thanks all who have helped to contribute toward pro- ducing the Yearbook. The Board also Wishes to thank the Business and Professional Women's Club of Hughesville for the award of a cash prize at Commencement to the member of the Senior Class with a perfect attendance recordg also the Hughesville Textile Company for its scholastic awards to each of the classes. 8 Class of 1948: How quickly Time passes! Yesterday-1936-is the Past, today-1948-is the Present-tomorrow-the Time after Commencement-is the Future. There is nothing you can do about Time except to see that it passes fruitfully. How fruitful was the Time during the twelve years of your formal education, you alone know best. If you accomplished more during those twelve years than your classmates, it was not because you had more Time, but because you used your Time more advantageously. For some of you, Time will lay its store of good deeds done, of noble ambi- tions carried out, of kindness and sympathy scattered with lavish hands, and of consideration and toleration shown your fellow companions. Such use of Time gives it an enduring quality which nothing can take away. The Past is gone. The Future has not yet come. The Present is what you have done. The Past you cannot change, nor can you draw upon the F uture, but you can use the Present. Best VVishes and Success to all. Sincerely, Harold L. Schaefer, Supervising Principal 9 Faculty Beatrice E.

A. succeeded in injecting a new note of civic interest into the activities of our school. By observ- ing and quietly correcting the deficiencies as they ap- peared, this organizatioifs inl'luence will be felt by many future classes. One instance was the purchasing of swings for the playground. The willingness of the grade pupils to remain long after school hours expressed their apprecia- tion and enjoyment of the swings. Another project this year that especially concerned the lower grades was the morning milk program. The Hallowe'en Party, antici- pated by both children and adults and sponsored by the P. T. A., has become a Hughesville Institution. The high school was substantially aided in several departments, including a contribution to the purchase of new stage scenery for the use of school and community. As a fitting climax to a successful year, a dinner for oiiicers, committee members, grade mothers and teachers was held. The Student Council, which meets every week, con- sists of a democratic representation from each grade. It is here that legislation, suggestions, violations and griev- ances of the school are discussed and acted upon. It is through the efforts of the Student Council that these assembly programs were made available. They were as follows: September 25, Cangster, October 13, Bertrand Shurtliff fwrestlerjg December 15, Ambassador Quartet, January 27, Polememe Potters, February 20, Nevin and Co. Cmagicianj, March 24, Robert T. Edgar fscientistj. Other activities of the year included an all- school party and dance and several movies.

WHAT WE SENIOBS FEEL For twelve long years, weive passed through these halls, NVhere fame and honor for us falls, Our Work here is finally done lVith all our years of toil and fun. As We look hack through these long last years, lt hrings to our eyes parting tears, As memory oier us now will steal, VVe know how other grads will feel. Though our high school years are past, XVe knoxv now weive left the hest for last, For long shall We cherish all Welve done, Our lives arc not finished, they are just begun. Thanks to our parents who sacrifice all, Thanks to the school hoard for any favor small, Thanks to our teachers never tired of our Work, Thanks to our classmates for efforts not shirked. VVe,ve grumhled and fumbled with our ideas great, We've laughed and Weive loved with many a mate, But hereis to our Alma Mater small, VVe,ll stand by you forever, though your walls may fall. Seniors, now alumni, letls do our part, To ever keep before us this grand start, Letis make a name for ourselves to be proud, A name dear old Hughesville High can shout loud. Time will take care of itself, We are told, But we now, dear classmates, part-friends of old, Let time keep a spark of our loyalty aglow, May time help us appreciate Hughesville High as We go!

At the first meeting a new method of advertising to increase the number of patrons was discussed. Covers were selected and the first plans of the book were drawn up. Senior pictures were taken early in October. Subscription sales exceeded any previous year. There still remained a sum in the yearbook treasury from last year, so new ideas and more pictures were planned. After Christmas group pictures were taken, and the written material was assembled. As a farewell party for the old and a reception tor the new staff, a banquet was held at The Lucille Tearoom in May.

Each of the three succeeding issues has showed much improvement, and the February issue is truly a creditable piece of work. During the year the staH, with the consent and help of the School Board, purchased a new mimeograph machine costing 330300. A gift of S50 was donated by the class of 1945 for this purpose. The mimeograph machine has proved a great asset to the paper. Last year the staff climaxed spring activities with a tour through the Grit Building and a banquet at the Lucille Tea Room. Cooperation is our key word and is responsible for the marvelous work the staff has accomplished. Congratulations go to the old staff, and wel- come goes to the new staff! The Future Homemakers of America is a national organization of students studying homemaking in the public secondary schools of the United States. The motto of the F. H. A., Toward New Horizons, ex- presses the eight purposes of the organization-learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. The organization increases opportunity for the de- velopment of leadership and intelligent participation in home, school and community life. In all club meetings a program has been developed through readings, movies, quiz kid programs, question boxes, study units, debates and talks in order to inspire this work through our school, club, home, selves and community. Hughesville F. H. A., with Mrs. Marie Merrell as Chapter adviser and with sixty club members helping complete the successful project, continued to sponsor the school lunch program. The club has the honor of receiv- ing many F arm Show Awards, one of them being that of a state F. H. A. song entitled Tell Me F. H. Af, written by Phyllis Westcott, who is Lycoming County F. H. A. president and lirst vice president of Pennsylvania Future Homemakers of America for 1947-48. The club awards and home project achievements were high in placement at the Lycoming County Fair. Local F H. A. officers are as follows: president, Mary Louise Townsend, vice-president, Phyllis Westcott, secretary, Emma Harding, treasurer, Betty Jene Sones. Including the oiiicers, the Advisory Board consists of Charlotte Reese, Lois Lanna Long, Doris Hill and Harriet jane Long. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA This makes a banner year for the Hughesville F. F. A. Wih a paid up membership of forty, the results have paid off in terms of accomplishment the efforts expended. During the year the chapter broadcast two half hour radio programs over W.R,A.K. It placed a close second to Williamsport in the annual F. F. A. county judging contest. At the 1947 Lycoming County Fair the follow- ing boys took Hrst and second places with their plant pro- jects and second place in the animal project contest, in addition to receiving several other awards in our divi- sion contests: John Reed, Ralph Weaver, Gene O'Conner, Harland Shaner, Gene Harris, Clyde George, Lester Poust, Elias Whitmoyer, Albert Rider, Iohn F amsworth, Richard Ryder, james Keller, Rex Smith and Lewis Harman.

COMMERCIAL The Business Education Department of our school olters various business courses to juniors and seniors. There are tive classes of typewriting com- posed of academic, vocational, and connnercial students. The typing and mimeographing of the Monarch and the typing of copy for the Yearbook are in- valuable experience for many of the students. For the last P. T. A. meeting ot the term the commer- cial department had an exhibit of typing and niimcographing and students demonstrated for the parents. Several memhers of the shorthand class enter the annual national O. G. A. QOrder oi' Gregg Ar- tistsj Contest. Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Wintersteen extend their best wishes to the Class of 1948. ENGLISH In English class emphasis is placed on under- standing the grammatical structure of a sentence as preparation for learning to speak and write correct- lyg to build clear, forceful sentencesg to punctnate correctly and to read understandingly both prose and poetry. Good speech and Writing habits are most to he desired-and harder to securefthan a knowledge of correct forms. Because of the power of environ- ment, a period a day in the class room cannot rec- tify many of the provincial defects. Our graduates should be able to write a correct letter and those who have training in preparing the school publica- tions, a newspaper article. In addition to the technical side of the Work, which is large enough to take all the time, another aim is to teach an appreciation oi' literature which brings delights to oneis leisure hours. ln this case, the study of English authors begun in the junior high school is culminated in selections from 'tReo- wulf to Culliver's Travelsn and interest and curi- osity in reading magazine articles and books are stimulated by the Reader's Digest program of read- ing for pleasure and profit. COMMERCIAL ART Throughout the term the Commercial Art class under the direction of Mrs. Fetter Worked in an atmosphere similar to that of a Commercial advertis- ing studio on a variety of projects which compared to those handled by the average layout man. As preparation for this work the class studied lettering, the psychology of advertising, and the art principles in terms of good layouts and adver- tisenients. They tried their skill in various med- iums and technique, creating designs lor posters, magazines and newspaper ads, illustrations, book- jackets, billboards, direct mail bulletins, and maui' other types of commercial advertising. As a grand climax each student made a book in its entirety-wrote the story and illustrated it: made the book-jackets, the cover, and the end papers for itg and finally bound the pages into a complete and interesting book. SPECIAL ART AWARDS Again this year We had a very favorable show- ing of Art Work at the Lycoming County Fair. VVe received cash premiums for forty different entries, ranging from crayon and chalk drawings to oil paint- ings and craft objects. ln April we sent seventy pictures to the Iames V. Brown Library in XVilliamsport to an exhibit and contest sponsored by the College Club. This con- test was open to all Lycoming County schools hav- ing an Art Supervisor. Brua C. Keeter of XYilliams- port gave prizes amounting to 3200. jean Rogers, a junior, received an honorable mention in the high school division and Mary Poust, a ninth grader re- ceived tive dollars and fifty cents in the junior high school 11I'0lI17. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE AND FARM SHOP This is a typical picture of what one might find being done in farm shop. The operation, care, and repair of farm machinery has long ago come to bc recognized as an integral part of vocational agricul- ture. The picture shows very briefly the modern trend in fam: machinery-the trend from the old, high, steel-wired wheels to the modem, low, rubber- tired wheels. Here are but 9. few of the many imple- ments that have been transformed this year in our farm shop. Other repairs include a tractor, harrowf, and shop machinery, and our construction list con- sists of two range shelters, two pig feeders, a wagon box, and a B.P.VV. Club emblem. Much creditable work, under Mr. Merrell's supervision, has been ac- complished by the boys during the year. GIRLS, CHEMISTRY The Girls' Chemistry class under the super- vision of Mr. Creveling, experienced a very interest- ing and profitable series of experiments during the school term, Aside from the regular course in chemistry, a unit of work in cosmetics was studied. Here the girls actually prepared such products as: cold cream, cleansing cream, vanishing cream, skin lotion, face powder and tooth powder. Also a study of the various harmful ingredients found in many brands of cosmetic products was made. HOME ECONOMICS Home economics education, under the super- vision of Mrs. Marie Merrell, completed various units of work during the year. Vocational home economics furthers the study of every girl's problems which she must encounter in her vocation, through instruction units as, foods, clothing, home relationships, home furnishing, con- sumer education, good-grooming, table etiquette, child care, textiles and nutrition. In general, the course promotes a student's knowledge of home- loving opportunities. These experiences also fur- nish a background for any choice of vocation. General home economics given to all junior high school students provides fundamental instruction for clothing and food classes. Other opportunities of- fered hclp prepare the pupil for her selected voca- tion in senior high school. The following girls have received state recog- nition with work presented at the Farm Show this year: WVilma Broam, clothing F53.00g Delphine Trick, canning 32.00, Kathleen George, canning 857.005 Phyllis VVestcott, P.

After dropping the opening league contest to Muncy, Hughesville got rolling and wasn't beaten during the rest of the Hrst half. Among the victories was a 44-17 win over powerful Mon- toursville. After Hughesville and Watsontown tied for the first half, Montoursville undisputedly won the second. Hughesville defeated Watsontown in a three-game ser- ies, but dropped two in succession to Montour. The season ended with Montoursville West Branch League Champions. The 1948 team was led Jay Tod Sones and Dave Armstrong as forwards. These two, along with jay Har- ris iumping center, made up the offense. Don Myers and Lloyd Flick in the back court made a fine pair of defensive guards. Next yearis team will lose only four players by grad- uation: Tod Sones, Jay Harris, Lloyd Flick, and Charley Gansell. May Hughesville have a Championship team in 1949! Schedule Opp. H.H.S.

C., chess probably is the oldest known game in the world. It is a game of skill, requiring im- agination and thinking ability. Club members found chess playing a worthy use of leisure time. Having learned the value of the pieces, they read and played by notation. By actual participation they became skill- ful players. The chess club, a new one for our school, organized and supervised by Mr. Schaefer, had the following ofiicers: Harry Ritter, presidentg Kathryn Myers, vice president, Shirley Fiester, secretary. DRAMATIC The dramatic club with Mrs. Waters as its supervisor, met with immediate popularity among the dramatically in- clined members of the junior high school and the sophomore class. They elected officers for the year as follows: president, Ruth Morgan, secretary, Vivian Gardner, treasurer, Patty Fis- cher. The club was organized to discover and develop dramatic ability among students prior to the junior class. The young Thespiaus Wrote and produced skits in their club meetings and presented an assembly program during the year. TRI-HI-Y Under the supervision of Mrs. Martha Starr and Mrs. Melva W'intersteen, a large group of high school girls formed the Hughesville Chapter of Tri-Hi-Y. They elected officers, president, Betty Iene Sonesg vice-presidnt, Doris Farrar, Sec- retary, Norma Mae Eder, treasurer, Emma Harding, and se- lected Mrs. Raymond Diggan, home representative, Mrs. Owen Long, church representative, and Mr. Harold Schaefer, school representative. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, Their slogan, Pure WVords, Pure Thought, Pure Actions , puts the ideals of the club into Words. l'To Seek, To Find, To Sharei' puts those ideals into action. The colors, Red, VVhite, and Blue exemplify Sacrifice, Purity, and Loyalty. Since the Tri-Hi-Y Club was a newly organized club, officers of the Montoursville Club, under the direction of Miss Mildred Kelly, installed the Hughesville otlicers and inducted the members. Mr. Watkins, representative of the Y.M.C.A., presented the ch' rter to the club's president. The installation service was preceded by a tureen supper held in the audi- torium. During the year discussions on the topic, Teen Talk, were held and the club members visited the churches of the com- munity in a group. LUB 35 L UBS CAMERA Since photography is a popular hobby, the Camera Club was an important member of our club agennlum. The aim of its members led by the president, Harold Gardnerg vice-presi- dent, Gene Taylorg secretary, Donald Myersg treasurer, Eliza- beth Little and supervised by Mr. Creveling, was to become better acquainted with the processes of photography. The yearis activities included printing and enlarging pic- tures, developing films, and building a dark room. HUNTING AND FISHING The aim of this club, supervised hy Mr. Kelsey, was to create among its members greater respect for our hunting and fishing laws and to acquaint them with information on conser- vatitn and propagation of wild game and fish. In addition to making a study of the laws, the members learned the proper and safe ways of carrying and handling guns and respect for the property of farmers. They learned not only the various species of game fish but also their habits if leeding and their habitats. The oihcers were president, Dan Little, secretary, Albert Rider. WRESTLING VVitb a membership almost entirely of junior high boys, the first wrestling club was organized this year by Mr. Ashkar, its adviser. Its aims were to give good physical training, pro- vide a source of wholesome recreation, develop suitable ma- terial for the varsity wrestling team, encourage physical initia- tive and resourcefulness, and teach the manly art of defense. VOLLEY BALL In organizing the volley ball club, Mr. Menges provided instructions in rules and actual play in another sport. About forty boys and girls took an active part in this new sport. CL CRAFT The Craft Club under the supervision of Mrs. Fetter was organized to give the students who enjoy working with their hands the opportunity to try their skill at creating various obiects. Bernadine Andrews was elected president, Jean Farrar, vice president, Jay Stugart, secretary, Beverly Andrews, treas- ll.l CI'. A committee, after consulting the club members, made plans for the group to try their skill in soap-carving, toil tool- ing, weaving, and decorating useful objects made of wood. LIBRARIANS VVith the opening of school last fall, our volunteer librar- ians, assisted by the school secretary, immediately began placing the books in their proper positions on the shelves, re- pairing them, and keeping the library in presentable condition.

The fall of 1947 again found the scouts busy at the Hughesville Fair. During the winter and spring of 1948 the scouts took part in the following activities, collection of waste paper, window display at Mr. Earl Kohleris store, a to- boggan party at Eaglesmere, a special church service at the Evangelical Church and many other interesting activi- ties. The Boy Scouts are ready and willing at all times to serve school, church, community and nation. BOY SCOUTS An organization meeting held in our high school building in February and a training course meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles Walters in March resulted in the forming of three troops. Brownie Pack Number 51, consisting of girls from seven to ten, is under the supervision of Mrs. Richard Boak with Mrs. Raymond Fleming, assistant. Their pro- gram includes hikes and picnics, and work in arts and handicrafts for the coming winter. Intermediate Troop Number 21 is led by Mrs. James Montague with Miss Ruth Smith and Mrs. Brady Speary, assistants. A Fly-Up party with the Brownie Troop, a cooikie sale, and organization meetings are their activities to ate.

This custom arising from ancient supcrstitions re- garding the beneficial results obtained by invoking the powers of certain animals was fulfilled by one of our prominent citizens in 1928. The second year our building was occupied, Mr. Theodore Boak gave the school a moose head, a mounted specimen of a successful hunt in the wilds of Canada, saying he preferred giving the school the trophy to having it in his own home. lt was accepted by the Board of Education who designated our former janitor, Mr. Ches- ter Houck, to place it in a selected location. He and Mr. Samuel Caunt, then president of the Board of Education, disregarding suggested positions, which ranged from a cage inside the audito1'ium to an isolated spot on the second floor, placed it in its present location over the inside entrance to the auditorium. Gradually the moose head from its prominent posi- tion won the favor of the high school students and a number of them from time to time selected class rings bearing the figure of a moose head. Its popularity grew until it was adopted as the oflicial insigne of the school and the moose head emblem was made by the L. C. Bal- four Company February 8, 1938. From the Balfour emblem the banner which hangs in the auditorium and the cut of the moose head which appears on the Yearbook cover were designed. Mr. Boak, our benefactor, knowing this ancient super- stition and realizing the importance of a symbol of loyalty, gave both students and faculty a symbol of lasting and mutual Value. As long as there is a spark of school spirit left in the graduates of the Hughesville High School, there also will be The Moose head. if I ll 4 , 1 1 Grezlsepaiut, Inc. 6.

I have been looking through our class Yearbook which brings back memories of days that are gone forever. We were eighteen that year, young and eager for the unknown future, the life just ahead of us. I wonder if things have turned out well for my class- mates, if their hopes and dreams have come true. There's really no way of Hnding out, no way of knowing whether the lives they are living today and the careers they are pursuing are the ones they planned and hoped for that day long ago-the day of our Commencement.
