I 28 THE ABGUS SEFISMOR GLASS HISTORY It was the eighth day of September, 1925, when we, the Class of '29, made our first appearance in a four-act play to be staged in the Huntingdon High School. It took considerable time to get acquainted with our new classmates, acclimated to our surroundings, and accustomed to an entirely different field of work. We soon assumed all the duties of a Class of H. H. S. and elected the following officers: Presi- dent, Paul Cassidy: Vice-President, John Donelsong Secretary, Mildred Daughen- baughg Treasurer, Dorothy Ingram. The only successful event of our Fresh- man year was the trip to the Boyle's Ice Plant under the direction of Mr. Wimmer, our science teacher. This was the climax to the first act. All set for the second act! This turned out to be quite eventful. Although our number was diminished by 25, we still had a sufficient number to co-operate. Our first work as Sophomores was the the elec- tion of officers, namely: President, Paul Cassadyg Vice-President, Robert Stewart: Secretary, Edward Zimmerman: Treas- urer, Louise Whitesel. Our first social function was a Hallow- e'en party held in the chapel, chaperoned by Miss Lindley, Miss McClelland, Mr. Laramy and Mr. Wimmer. We next held a market, starting to raise money for our most-looked-forward-to-Washington trip. Well, here we are-ambitious Juniors, striving to reach a goal that has never been reached before. This was succesfully ac- complished when we presented Ann What's Her Name on December 1st and 2nd. Part of the success during the year was due to the capable officers which we elected as follows: President, George Porter: Vice-President, Robert Stewartg Secretary, Dorothy Ingram, Treasurer, Miss Bennawit. 1 n 1 i 3 l i 1 l i 1 x . 1 I 1 1 1 l l . l , v The concluding event of our Junior year, or rather the third act, was the Prom which we gave in honor of the Class of '28, At last we were Seniors, with a lot of work before us! At our first meeting we elected our officers: President, George Porter, Vice-President: Robert Stewart: Secretary, Kathryn Corceliusg Treasurer, Miss Bennawit. On the 15th of October we selected our class rings, which are an artistic design, representing the rising sun. These we will always keep in remembrance of our good old school days. Everybody had high hopes of making our last act the greatest of all. Early in the fall we presented our Senior play, Lost Paradise, whish is rated among the best amateur plays that has ever been pro- duced. Soon after the play was success- fully presented, we felt as though our work was not completed, and we took on our shoulders the work of presenting The Heart Cry for the benefit of our newly organized band. To Mrs. Grubb the Class of '29 owes the credit for their many suc- cesses. Few quiet months have rolled by, and now once again everything is in an up- roar. We started making plans for our Washington trip, which was to take place the ninth, tenth and eleventh of May. Our purpose in going early was to have more of the Capitol City to ourselves and in that way derive full benefit of our trip. It is true, we've struggled hard and feel sorry for the ones who through some mis- fortune or inability had to leave us, but the faithful few, sixty-seven, managed to come off the stage with a happy, care-free look and board train No. 10 to reward them for their efforts.

THE ARGUS 29 THE WABIIUNTGN TRIP On May 9, 1929, at 6:31 A. M., the Sen- ior Class of the Huntingdon High School, accompanied by the Senior Class of Alex- andria High School, boarded the Rain- bow for a three-day tour of Washington, D. C. Things started to hum as soon as we reached Washington. We immediately started for Arlington Cemetery, where we viewed one of the most beautiful amphi- theatres in the world. It is at this place where all memorial speeches are deliv- ered. We hurried through the Cemetery, noticing the many points of interest, such as the Unknown Soldier's tomb, and the many curved stones marking the known dead, and the square-topped stones mark- ing the unknown soldiers. We next started by trolley for Mt. Ver- non, the home of Washington. We were hurried along from place to place, visiting the most interesting places. We then as- sembled and had our pictures taken, all you need to do to find out if we were hap- py is to take one good luck at the result. The fun was yet to come, and we were ready to meet it. We all boarded the Charles McCallister, a three-deck steam- boat, where we roamed about making many friends. Our next stop was at the Metropolitan Hotel, where we were assigned our rooms and given our meal tickets. We all washed up a little and hurried down to the dining room. It did not take us long to eat, and in a few minutes we were at the Fox Theatre, enjoying a vitaphone picture and vaudeville. At 7:45, Friday, we ate our breakfast and left to visit the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Here we saw the making of money and stamps, one of the most in- teresting places to view. We then jour- neyed to the Washington Monument, where we climbed up 898 steps to view the beautiful city. The White House was our next destina- tion. We, with many other spectators, walked gazing along, seeing in reality the way the head of our nation lives. After lunch we left by bus for Annapo- lis. It was at this time we had our mon- ey's worth of fun. Shortly after arriving we found seats and waited patiently for the students to make their appearance. The time was surely well spent, because the boys in uniform made a striking pic- ture, one that will exist in our minds for- ever. One feature also of our visit here was the going down into the crypt, where lies the body of John Paul Jones. On Saturday morning we left the hotel at 8:30 for a visit to the National Museums and the United States Capitol. While at the Capitol, we went up to the dome. We also saw Nicholas Longworth presiding over the House of Representatives. A tour around the city was the next feature. This trip covered the business and residential sections. The sights in- cluded the Ford Theatre, where Lincoln was killed, foreign embassy legationsg and the May Flower Hotel, where Vice-Presi- dent Curtis lives. We stopped at the Lin- coln Memorial, one of the most beautiful of its kind. Inside the monument, in- scribed in marble, are his two noted in- augural speeches. Saturday afternoon was our day Hoff. Some went shopping and others went to the Washington Airport field, where many took advantage of the opportunity and flew over the city. Time iiew and at last it was 6:30, just train time. We all boarded the train, and were soon on our way home. Tired, al- though happy, We arrived in Huntingdon at 1:30 A. M. Everyone enjoyed the trip very much, and we hope that the Seniors of the on- coming classes may enjoy the same kind of a treat. Martha A. MacDonald.
