We trust that the reader will not find him- self immersed in an atmosphere of dignity which is supposedly the boon-companion of every Senior. We also ask the reader's in- dulgence if the contents are exaggerated or imaginative beyond reason. Our Senior year has meant much to us with its round of sports, plays, social activi- ties and extra curricular work in addition to the regular school routine. We leave with regret, though probably teachers and students alike are glad to be relieved of us. E- The Littonian -1- LJ CLASS OFFICERS CHESTER BYERS .. .. CHRISTINE KAUFFMAN .. ANNA BROWN .. .. ..

Then the class of'34 crossed for the first time, the threshold of that building which was to house their hopes and ambitions, joys and sorrows, victories and defeats for four long years, and here they spent their time preparing for the glorious future. Greatly appreciated were the rural lads and lassies who joined us, comprising 3076 of the class and they have proven that they possess scholastic ability sometimes surpassing that of the town folk. During our Freshmen year, greenhorns though we were, a very enjoyable New Year's Party was held at the home of Arlene Trostle. When we returned to school as Sophomores, the number of classmates was less, but a few others joined our ranks. We had the almost unique honor of having in our class five Freds, but by the end of that year, they had all deserted us. We also had four Ruths, three Helens and two Annas. Of these, we lost only one Ruth-faithful girls. At the close of our Sophomore year, an outing and picnic was held at Natural Dam. We returned as Juniors and Jolly Juniors we were. We enjoyed a Valen- tine Party that winter at the home of Rebecca Snyder. In the Spring we took the Seniors of '33 on an outing at Natural Dam. Some members of each class went swimming, and the water attracted Miss Hook so much that she fell in. Our Junior year was nearly over and we regretted it to a great extentg but our minds were concentrated on one factg as Seniors we would enter a new school building. We are all very grateful to the school board and thetax payers for providing the well equipped, comfortable, new school building that has been our good fortune to occupy and enjoy. No one realized except those who were ctompelled to attend classes in the old building what crowded conditions existed t ere. At last it had come. We were Seniors with a class membership of twenty- one. But, at the very beginning of our Senior year we welcomed into the fold two new students, making a total of twenty-three. Our Senior year has not been so jolly. Our minds keep reverberating the thought that it will be our last year to participate in any high school activities. The time has Hown, it seems, and contacts here will be no more. In the various activities about the school, the class of '34 has always taken a leading part. ln dramatics, especially, our talent was discovered. Our class play I Will! I Won't! proved a financial as well as dramatic success, and favor- able comments poured in from all sides on the marvelous dramatic ability dis- played. The characters will long be remembered in their various difficult roles. With its limited number of boys, our class has been fortunate to be repre- sented in athletics. Our star is Robert Stover, who excels in basketball and who played soccer, basketball and baseball all four years. Dick Maitland, who joined our ranks this year, also proved a valuable addition to the basketball and soccer teams. Our girls were also well represented in basketball. The class provided a competent soccer manager in Elias Lau. during this, our last year. It is with regret that We leave the familiar haunts of Littlestown High School. We are ready to sail on, sail on. and with eager hopes and ambitious aspirations will we travel. Who knows? Perhaps within its folds, the class harbors a future President. Laugh at us if you will, but remember, we shall bravely fight the battle and toil diligently until we reach our goal. bw 435 45 I 5 9 S-4 Q .r U an ru .15 .f 'D Q L P- an c 2 L. '11 S.

ELEN is one of the very active members of our class. She has shown us that she has dramatic ability, especially when she played the part of Lynn in our Senior play. We find, in a closer study of this young lady that she is especially quiet when sbe's asleep and isn't talking in her sleep. Helen is very popular and we know she is much interested in the opposite sex. She can dance and sing and she is an accomplished pianist. Helen expects to take up a business course after she leaves us. RUTH EVELYN BANKERT Snooky General For Heaven's sake l Littlestown Junior Red Cross 11, 2, 3, 45, Glee Club 145, In Old Vienna 145. UTH is one of the quiet girls of the Seniorclass. She iswell liked by every- one and she can make friends easily. She is especially well liked by a certain alumnus. Ruth has been very activein the Junior Red Cross Work. She doesn't know what she will do after she leaves good old L. H. S., so she says, but we have a faint idea that she might become someoneis ----- ! She has had experience as a librarian and makes a very efficient one. CHARLES DAVID BITNER Charlie General Listen, you girls! Harrisburg Athletic Club 145, Glee Club 12, 35, Orchestra 11, 2, 3, 45, Senior Play. H, what's all the excitement! Just Charlie teasing the girls. His other ac- complishment is that of taking cars apart and putting them together again. Charlie spends all his pastime working in a garage, and does he know his cars? Here is the class comedian. We almost lost Charlie a few times but he always decided to come back to us. He does not take part in sports but he is active in other things. It is his desire to be a radio operator on board a ship. ANNA MARIE BITTINGER Ann General Or Something! ' Littlestovsn Junior Red Cross 125, Washington Bi-Centennial Pageant 125, Class Reporter 135,Jour- nalism 135, History Club 145. HO is one of the blue eyed blondes in our class? Anna of course. She is very quiet and studious, and if you didn't see her in study halls, you surely wouldn't know she is among you. Ann is a very hard worker, and she won't give up if she can't finish anything she has begun-unless it's book- keeping. But that puzzles everybody when a trial balance or working sheet won't come out. We wonder if at times her heart doesn't beat for a tall blackhaired person of the opposite sex? Anna plans to follow clerical work. -1+ The Littonian 61- ANNA MARIE BROWN Brownie Commercial For Pete's sake!

E are fortunate to have such an industrious younglady as Anna in our class. She is a very busy person, and if at any time you can't find her she is probably in Mr. Stavely's room or the ofiice, as she is Professor King's secretary. We know that she is interested in the opposite sex, and we hope she works hard for the lucky person. Anna plans to work in someone's office first. We know that she will be both a good wife and a good secretary. CHESTER SHERWOOD BYERS Ches Academic Oh, I say now! Litrlestown Class President 13, 41, Hi-Y Club 141 President 141.

HES has a host of friends in L. H. S. and out of school. He is ratherquiet, but he always has a big cheery smile for everyone. He likes to tease the girls who wear anklets. Ches has been captain of our crew for two years and has been very successful. He takes an active part in all school activities, ex- cept sports. especially Hi-Y, dramatics and glee club. What would our senior play have been without Elliot and his monacle? Ches has thrilled us with his voice many times. We know that success awaits him in the future.

ACK is a happy go lucky fellow. I-le always hasa smile and it broadens when a girl approaches. Besides being interested in the fair sex inside and outside of school, we find he is deeply interested in civilengineering. Jack came to us quite some time ago from lllinois. He has taken part in athletics during his high school career and he has displayed much dramatic ability in school plays. Here's hoping his interest in science will lead him to high honors in the near future. RUTH ADELINE CROU SE Ruth Commercial What do you think 2 Germany Township Junior Red Cross 1 l, 2, 3, 41, Girl Reserves 11, 21, Washington Bi-Centennial Pageant 121. UTH has been with us all through our high school days. She is a very quiet and industrious young lady. Her main interest is commercial work. However, she is often heard talking about the boy friend, a certain lad from Fairfield, and we wonder why she likes to make such frequent trips to Taneytown. As yet, Ruth has not decided what she will do in the future, but whatever she chooses the class of '34 is sure she will be successful. -I The Littonian -JI HAZEL MARGUERITE DEHOFF Blondie General Is zat so?

LONDIE, our most picturesque member, is one of the most popular of belles. She is interested in the opposite sex, as can be expected, and she is especi- ally interested in a certain sophomore. Blondie has played lead in many plays and has proven her dramatic ability. Even though Blondie is of the mis- chievous type, she has proven herself a worthwhile student. Her future is undegided, but whatever her aim, the class of '34 wishes her all the success in the wor . HELEN MARIE DEHOFF Frankie Academic Well, I'll be !

ELEN is the dark beauty of our class. She is a very industrious and studious young lady. She has worked hard for success during her high school career and she has accomplished much. Science seems to be her chief interest, though her work on The Littonian Echo was faithfully done. Helen has played guard on the girl's basketball team for four years. Here's wishing you success in the future, Helen. RUTH EVELYN HARNISH Mitzi General Come up sometime! Littlestown Girl Reserves 11, 21, Basketball 111, Volley Ball 111, Junior Red Cross 121, Language and Travel Club 131 Secretary 131, History and Stamp Club 141 Vice President 141, Washington Bi-Centennial Pageant 121, Kicked Out of College 111. 55 l'l'ZI is the smallest member of our class. She resembles a famous movie star whom we all know by sight. And she is popular with the opposite sex, mostly Sonny. Ruth likes to stay home in the morn- ings and We can guess why. It is quite easy for her to make friends and she keeps them. She is so small and so attractive. Her future is uncertain, but whatever she does, she has the regards of the class of '34. CHRISTINE MILLER KAUFFMAN Christie Academic Good-night! Altoona Vice President of Class 141, Glee Cluh 141, In Old Vienna 141, Forensic and Music Contest 141, Assistant Business Manager The Littonian . 55 HRISTIEU just came to l.. H. S. this year. We are all very glad to have her with us. and we find that she is a true friend to all. She also has the credit of being the youngest student in the class. Whenever you see a girl with beautiful wavy red hair, being envied by the other girls, you can vouch that it is Christine. Christine plans to go to the American University in Wash- ington. We feel sure that she will be graduated with high honors. -f? The Littonian -2- ELIAS BROWN LAU Lau Academic I don't have any!

LL hail the heartbreaker of the class of '34. But it would be unfair not to mention his numerous good points. Elias played a big part in making the soccer team successful, as he was their manager. His interest in two cer- tain Junior girls is a point that must not be omitted, as it is so noticeable. In the future we expect to see Elias's name in the list of famous mechanical engineers and the class of '34 does its share in wishing him every possible success. RICHARD ALEXANDER MAITLAND Dick General Well, what about it? Swampscott, Mass. Soccer 141, Basketball 141, The Ghost Parade 141, In Old Vienna 141,Glee Club 141, Athletic Association 141, Athletic Club 141, Senior Play. ERE'S a jolly good fellow. And so popular with the fair sex. One melt- ing glance from those big brown eyes would loosen the heartstrings ofany girl. Dick just came to usin our Senior year, but what a welcome addition. He has been very active in sports and dramatics. Here's hoping he makes as many friends throughout life as he made during his short stay in our midst and may his dream of becoming a golf professional be realized in the near future. MAYBELLE ELIZABETH SCHWARTZ Maybelle Academic I gotta go! Littlestown Girl Reserves 11, 2, 3, 41 Vice President 141, Eugene 0'Neill Dramatic Association 11, 2, 41 President 141, Glee Club 12. 3, 41 Secretary-Treasurer 131, Class President 111, Class Treasurer 141, Washington Bi-Centennial Pageant 121. The Road Back Home 121. Sunbonnet Girl 121, Wild Ginger 131. In Old Vienna 141, Oh, Professor 141, Senior Play: Associate Editor of The Littonian . AYBELLE has proven herself a true friend to every member of our class. She is a sweet, lovable, and kind young lady. Maybelle has been very active in school work, and has displayed her dramatic ability in many school plays. She is interested especially in beauty culture and plans to follow that line of work. We wager the young men will want their faces lifted if May- belle is in the business. What do you think?

HO is that tall slender girl helping those Senior boys with their history notebooks? That's Helen, one of our honor students, who is always willing to help her classmates. She has worked hard for success, and has proven herself to Abe a scholar. We are sure she will be successful as some- body's stenographer or private secretary. Although Helen doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve we are certain she has a warm spot for someone. Good luck to you, Helen, you deserve it.

TOP! For here comes the most collegiate girl of our class. Becky is always full of fun and her smile cheers anyone who may chance to be sad. We don't know what we would do without Becky and her automobile for they both are a help to our school. She has taken an active part in athletics, and has played basketball for four years. She is a good actress, and has taken part in many high school plays. We are sure she will attain her future goal. ROBERT EDGAR STOVER Bob General Gee Whiz!

During his high school years he has been greatly interested in sports, and was quite a star in basketball and soccer. He is very musical and plays several instru- ments. Bob is also interested in a certain girl from the Junior Class and it looks very serious. We expect to see Bob as a successful salesman in the near future.

ERNICE is one of the accomplished violinists of the class. I-ler beau and bow keep her well occupied. She has been in the orchestra four years, but still has plenty of spare time for-well, we think you all know. Ber- nice doesn't know what she will do in the future. During her high school ca- reer, she made a great number of friends. The class of '34 hopes to see her name among the members of some great orchestra.

She is noted for those sparkling brown eyes, which attract so much attention from the boys, especially --. ACT-they are Arlene's initials, and she proved that she could really 'act' in the Senior play. We wonder how she sells all those tickets. Arlene wishes to be somebody's stenog, but the class is afraid she may change her mind. -f-- The Littonian -2- ALMA LOUISE WEAVER Weezy General Oh, dear!

You can never find her without a ready smile and a happy chuckle.

H. S. Only three letter men remained from last year's team and from these together with the abundance of new material, our coach developed a successful team The entire season shows 10 league victories, and one outside of the league, against one defeat Summary of results of the Soccer Season: 10-York Springs 4-Fairfield .... 9-East Berlin . 7-New Oxford 6-Arendtsville L.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls were less successful than the boys and didn't record many victories, but they always tried their best, fighting until the final whistle ended a game. Most of the games had plenty of in- terest and excitement and the prospects for next year look very good although the team loses four members. The following girls will receive letters: Rebecca Snyder '34 Marion Jacobs '35 Gladys Wehler '34 Evelyn Del-Ioff '35 Helen Del-loff '34 Winifred Rider '36 Mary Weaver '34 Rita O'Donnell '36 Ethel Lindaman '35 Dorothy Brendle '36 Won .... 3 Lost .... 10 BASEBALL Palmer, Bollinger, Ecker. Knipple, Stover, Beford, Basehoar, Long, Trostle, James, Rifile. WEIKERT, Manager. SCI-IRIVER, Coach. The same three lettermen that started Basketball were left to start Baseball. A great record re- mained for the boys to uphold, as the two previous years the teams were the pennant winners, win- ning 18 out of 20 games. Pre-season predictions, concerning the success of the team were low, but the boys said, we'll be in first division anyway. As the Littonian goes to press, the team has 5 victories and 5 defeats, thereby playing .500 ball. Considering the inexperienced and unseasoned players, we think, as well as the coach, that they are doing exceptionally well. We, the Class of 1934, desire to take this privilege to congratulate the coach Harold R. Schriver for the success which the teams have shown, and extend to him our wishes for even greater glory in the future. The Littonian E- Q52 WIT AND HUMOR Prof. Stavely-You missed my class the other day? Chester -Not in the least, I assure you. Louise-You had no business kissing me. George-What do you mean, business? Think I'm a gigolo. Elias-I'm going to shoot you! Dick-Why? Elias-I always said I'd shoot anyone who looked like me. Dick-Do I look like you? Elias-Yes. Dick-Then shoot. Mr. Harnish-What are the young man's in- tentions, daughter? Ruth-Well, he's been keeping me pretty much in the dark. Many a student is kept from his studies by a pair of eyes that speak volumes. Wife-Creadingy It says here they have a four legged sheep in the Himalaya moun- tains that can run 40 miles an honr. Her Husband-Well, it would takea lamb like Arlene-The horn on your car must be brok- en. Fred-No, it's just indifferent. Arlene-Indifferent, meaning what? Fred-It doesn't give a boot. Stern Parent--Rebecca, what were you and young Spangler doing last night when your little nephew caught you? Becky-Nothing, father, except quietly dis- cussing practical experimentation of os- culatory theories. Parent-Well, do you know, the young imp said that man was kissing you. Miss Hook-And men like Shakespeare some- times worked two and three weeks on a single sentence. Charlie-How about Al Capone? He saw her stepping from the car, And up to her he sped: May I assist you to alight? Sir! I don't smoke, she said. Jack-I think I'll open an office when I grad- uate. that to follow Mary nowadays. Bob-I'll probably be a janitor myself. WOULDN'T IT SEEM FUNNY IF: Bernice walked to school at noon? Lau didn't touch anyone all day? Ruth Crouse weighed 200? Maitland couldn't read and write Cnotesl? Hazel wasn't having a battle in the hall? Becky was an old maid? Gladys would stay awake all day? Jack wouldn't argue in English class? Louise became a waitress in a restaurant? Ruth Harnish wasn't always looking for the son? Puffy would stay sitting all day? Mary was a blonde? Anna Bittinger entertained by doing an Indian dance? Ruth Bankert didn't have to scold someone? Arlene could concentrate on English? Helen Smith flunked a year? Anna Brown laughed like Joe E? Helen DeHoff didn't have to see Mr. Stavely? Charles roller skated to school every day? Chester went to Shippensburg College? Bob would 'Reform' Cchurchj himself? Maybelle would cease her attentions to that Little fboyj? Christine was a black-eyed brunette?
