JULIA ALBIA ZUMA Band z, 3, Basketball 4. julia is one of our very quiet girls, but on the basketball court she causes much excitement. Since julia considers typing one of her favorite subjects in school, we hope that she will go far into the business world and make it her career. Onward, through deep channels May we ever hold Waving from all panels Our bright blue and gold, May we keep them floating On each breeze so high, True ideals denoting, As we say, Good-bye ! ANONYA'IOL'S as Farewell! But whenever the bell chimes the hour That summons the classes to Learning's glad bower, You will think of this Class that once gathered here, too, And studied each lesson as dee lv as vou. I P . , Long, long be each room with our mem- ories Hlled, Through the halls where the sound of our voices is stilled, You may take, you may fill every place, if you will, But the scent of our class rose will hanrf ' d ' '11 ' 0 roun it sti .'

This amiable chap of the gridiron has proved that he has been an integral part of our football team. Equally popular with both sexes, Walt confined his feminine activities to a chosen few this year. A singer as well as an actor, Walt,' possesses the win- ning way and the will that can bring him to the top of the heap. CHARLES EDXVARD XNEX'0DALT, JR.

A touchdown! Two more points! The batter's out! These phrases show us how important Charlie has been to the three teams while he attended Lower Paxton. Charlie's ambition is to be a civil engineer and from his work in math class we are sure he will be a huge success. JOHN ANDREW WHITMOYICR Band 1, 2, 3, 4, Glee Club 1, z, 3, 4, Class Plays 3, 4, Ranger Staff 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 4. One of the best typists in the class, WifHe', has taken part in a number of contests. He is also tal- ented in dramatics, and took part in both class plays. He showed an active interest in school and class ac- tivities. WiHle's favorite field of study is com- mercial. We predict that he will make good in what- ever he undertakes. ROBER'1' HOLhIF1S WILLOUGHBY Glee Club 4, Torch Staff 4. One of the brightest students of the senior class and a swell fellow is 'LBob. His ambition is to be a scientist, and he should be successful in this field of work. He is another of the quieter boys of the class, but yet his silence is greatly overshadowed by his scholastic ability. Bob is never forgotten in class activities, for he is dependable and trustworthy. 744 '7cvwA

DIARY OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY Sept. 21, 1936. A class is born! Fifty-four wide-eyed, but enthusiastic, freshmen assembled within the walls of Lower Paxton High School to begin a four-year quest for learning. We were all eager to become acquainted with the other students and we were anxious to show them what we were capable of doing, insignificant though we seemed. Oct. 15, 1936. Since we are not too inexperienced to know that time is precious we organized our class. Also today, we selected our class motto, Not at the topg but climbing, our class colors, blue and gold, and our class Hower, the yellow rose. We exercised great care in the choice of these things because we have decided to keep them for the four years. june 11, 1937. The last day of our first year in high school! We realize that though it has been, for the most part uneventful, it has not been unsuccessful, for our freshman year has done much to strengthen us as a class. We know that we have passed one of the four milestones in our journey, that will eventually lead to graduation. Sept. 4, 1937. Now we are advanced to the rank of Sophomores-fifty-one strong! At last we have the feeling of really belonging. Sept. 26, 1937. This afternoon we chose as our secondary objective Cgraduation being the firstb a three- day sight-seeing trip. VVe are eager to begin work for we know that every business venture will get us just that much closer to our aim. Oct. 15, 1937. Today we sponsored our first class project-an animal show, Pamahasaka's Pets. We are over-joyed at the results of it. Now we know that we have the ability and ambition that is needed to see a project to a successful end. Feb. 2.9, 1938. The home economics section of our class presented the school with a painting that is to be hung in the oifice. It was purchased with the proceeds from a hot dish that the girls decided several months ago to prepare and serve to the students. june 3, 1938. Another year has passed and we are now at the halfway mark in our journey. We look to our coming year as one full of excitement and joy. Sept. 5, 1938. Again we returned to school after vacation, but this time as juniors, a title that for us holds but two really important items-class rings and the junior play. We shall await with anticipation the day the joy of these will be ours. Oct. 10, 1938. At last the day arrived when we chose our rings. Before the selection was made it was decided that the ring selected should be the standard school ring. The committee, composed of members of the three upper classes and faculty advisors, submitted three different rings, and we had the honor of selecting the design for our school. Nov. 8, 1938. Another magazine campaign closed yesterday, Though we are not at the top, we are glad to say that we can claim second place. jan. 7, 1939. They came today! Yes, our rings. VVhat nicer Christmas present could a junior want Ceven though a bit late? than his class ring. We are all proud to show our class rings whenever an oppor- tunity presents itself. jan. II, 1939. Today we presented another junior project, a magician, Von Zurn by name, who proved for us that old saying, The hand is quicker than the eye.'l How glad we are to be able to add our profit from it to our meagre store of filthy lucrel'! March 9, 1939. Our play, The Life O' Riley, a three act comedy, was a decided success. For weeks the cast and our director worked hard on it, but we were well rewarded for our diligence. This was evident last night, for while the members of the play cast enjoyed leading the Life O' Riley, the audience enjoyed watching them do it. So, we put in our books another victory for the class of ,40, and we add to our treasury a lump sum. April 15, 1939. We are proud of one of our female members who proved her ability as a musician, by being chosen as a participant in the All-State Symphony Orchestra. There are others in our class who are musically inclined and their interests are centered on the school band and orchestra. '7!1e '7oacJa .24
