KVXEKVXCIFQES MISS FLANAGAN There is a time and place for everything, do everything in its place. That is Miss Flanagan's doctrine. She gets time to do everything. Miss Flanagan has traveled extensively, having spent several months in Europe, in touring the States and many islands. Her talks on the various places have made her History and Democracy classes very interesting. She is a graduate of our Higih and Millersville State Normal and for the past several years, she has taken summer courses at the University of Pennsylvania. The class of twenty-five thanks her. MISS V. L. SMITH A friend in need, a friend that's true, Who'll never fail to help you through. When a maze seems to envelop you, when you're afraid of anything, go to Miss Smith and you will find there an exit to all difficulties. Miss Smith was graduated from dear old Mahanoy High and later completed her education at Buck- nell University. In our Sophomore year Miss Smith first took the teachers desk in High and since then she has served in the capacity of teaching English, History, and French. Her helpful ways have won much admiration from the students. To her initiative we owe the founding of our Senior Literary Society. Merci beaucoup, Mademoiselle. MISS ALICE RUHL Her voice was soft and low, An excellent thing in woman. Although Miss Ruhl has been with us a comparatively short time, she has won the love of all the pupils. A native of Lewisburg, she came to us from Bucknell University to take up the work which Miss Ursula O'Connor suspended on account of ill health. Miss Ruhl's hobby is dramatics. She teaches History to Sophomores and English to Freshman. We envy the other classes who have the benefit of your teaching, Miss Ruhl. MISS MARY SMITH And still the wander grew, How one small head could carry all she knew. Miss Smith always recalls to one the lines Goldsmith penned in his Deserted Village. She is one of our own Alumnae, as well as a graduate of Cor- nell University. She teaches us Latin, and we all agree she teaches it well. Her extensive knowledge coupled with the natural gift of teaching, has made her attain the heights of success. She has the ability to make Caesar's Wars, Cicero's Ora- tions and Virgil's Aenerd interesting-Judge for yourself! MISS KLINE Never too tired, never refusing, To help any pupil when ever ihe's losing. That sums up Miss Kline. She is a friend of all. Her work in the orches- tra seems unending and to her efforts do we owe the present success of that body. She is one of the teachers who has made possible our Literary Society. As a teacher, too, she deserves much praise. At present she teaches Junior English. Miss Kline received her education in Mahanoy City, Bloomsburg Normal and State College where she attends the Orchestration Department. We appreciate your untiring efforts, Miss Kline! MISS McATEE Miss McAtee, the girls' sewing teacher, is a graduate of our Mahanoy City High School. She then took special courses at the Pennsylvania State College. Miss McAtee is well liked by all her classes and she turns out some of the best dress- makers in the county. It is regretted that her teaching is limited to the girls be- cause quite a few of the fellows would make good dressmakers with her instructing them. v v v '79 Page 17 l 4 .J

rf . KVXEKVXCDII-QS Class Songs Tune of lt Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo-re We're the Class of '25, The best class that's alive, We have a rep, we're full of pep, Are the Class of '25. CHORUS: Oh, the Seniors they are dumb, As dumb as they can beg They think that the hardest job in school Is to learn their A. B. C.'s. A Senior stood in the trolley track, A trolley coming fast, The Senior got out of the track To let the trolley pass. Oh, a Junior stood in a trolley track, A trolley coming fast, The trolley got out of the track To let the Junior pass. Oh, we have a very good track team, The very best one yet- The Seniors thought they'd cop the meet, But they're still hungry yet. Oh, they tell us that a graveyard Is a very dead place, The Seniors ought to go up there And run the dead a race. V V THE PERFECT YEAR Tune of End of a Perfect Day When you come to the end of a perfect year, And the time for parting draws near. When you say farewell to the friends you made Then we know in your eyes there's a tear. To the Senior class we wish you good luck And success in whate'er they do. And we hope at the end of this year, they are friends that are staunch and true. CAULD LANG SYNEJ We're the Junior class of '25, And we're always known to strive To reach the highest ranks of fame And to live up to our name. CHORUS Here's to the good old Junior Class, The Class of '25, We'll give three cheers and a hip, hurray For the Class of '25. All hail, all hail, the Junior Class, The Class of '25, The class that always do their best, The Class of '25, 'CHORUS V 5 Page 18
