I3l V. HI R be ii1ug-25 15 Historical Sketch of Our New High School Building The initial idea for an addition to the old school building was conceived by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration of war by America. Tentative plans were submitted by the Bureau of School Buildings, but before any architect could be employed all plans were frustrated by the war. In the autumn of 1922 the State Department upon request again submitted plans. These plans were entirely different from the former, and upon these plans as a basis a Special Election to increase the indebtedness of the School District was held December 16, 1922, with the result that about three to one were in favor of the new building. Messrs. Hersh and Schollar, registered architects, Altoona, Pa., were employed for S1,600.00. On account of the great increase of construction during the following winter the building program was deferred until the fall of 1923. On january 10, 1924 the following contracts were awarded: General Construction Work, The jacob Gehron Co., Williamsport, Pa. . 858,337.89 Heating and Ventilation, E. Keeler Co., Williamsport, Pa. ............ 511,886.00 Plumbing, Clyde C. Beckley, Mifflinburg, Pa. ...................... S 3,700.00 Wiring, F. P. Edwards, Bloomsburg, Pa. ............................ S 850.00 During the first week in March following, material for construction arrived and excavation began while the earth was frozen to the depth of 22 inches. Before the end of the month, after excavating to the depth of seven feet the foundation walls were being laid. i ln early Nlay, as seen in views on opposite page Nos. 1 and 2, steel work for foundation of Auditorium floors was set in place. No. 3 shows the progress of the walls for the super-structure. No. 4, Frames of Auditorium windows are seen in position. Weather conditions were most unfavorable, yet at an early date, No. 5 pre- sents the East Wing with walls complete, and No. 6, the northwest corner of Audi- torium: No. 7 presents building complete after trees are removed and flag staff is erected. The face bricks are the mingled shade product of the Keystone Brick Co., Wat- sontown, Pa. Two belts and coping on parapet walls of Hummelstown Brown Stone, comprise the trimmings.

THE cLAss or 1925. I7I HKRAZY KORNER 'Q E31 M Cbghe 1.i.1ug-25 Senior Editorial t'The New Era History is divided into different eras which distinctively mark changes in civil- ization, customs, beliefs, ideals and government. The history of Nlililinburg High School is not unlike the history of society. It has also found itself passing through various stages of growth and development. The Class of 1924, marked the end of one era. Their publication of the first edition of THE NAUTILUSH reviewed the events of the golden age that has gone by. How well they disclosed the Memories, Traditions, Romances, and Hours of Work and Play within the walls of the Old Building! We revere their memory and cherish their contribution. One year has elapsed since the appearance of the first volume of THE NAU- TILUS. This, the second volume, heralds a different environment and greater possibilities for acquiring an education in the Mifllinburg Schools. The Old Building is greatly altered. The New Building contains a spacious auditorium, a beautiful stage, large and pleasant classrooms, and a modern gymnasium. True, these ma- terial adjustments do not, in themselves, outline the essentials of this new era but the change of attitude toward school life caused by them, is, indeed, a noteworthy and distinguishable feature. The formation of two Literary Societies, the additions to the Course of Study and the opportunities afforded for Physical Education have created and developed a New Morale among the student body. Although, the Class of 1925, belongs both to the Old and New Epoch, it aims, through THE NAUTILUS to perform the task of setting forth this transition. However, this is not the only aim of THE NAUTILUSH for as we step into this New Era we have a vision of better days to come--of them we dream and dream- until they come true. Paul R.

Rosey is so nice to be around because she can cut a joke loose from a prison bar and pass it around so that it will take. Yea, verily, she hath her charms. Sometimes, however, she is known to wake up in Physics Class and shout How's that? She in- forms us that she will come out in life O. K. as she is a decorator of heads.

These were times that are forever gone, but they shall never be forgotten because they have made richer and happier our days in dear Old M. H. S.

The work of our Two Literary So- cieties parallels the courses offered in many high schools under the title Public Speaking. During the last three years of our High School Course, our literary work was hampered, due in a large measure to the inconvenient stage and limited seating capacity. The New Building has made ample provision both in respect to the stage and a seating capacity of over five hundred has been provided. Only once, during the entire school year, Washington's Birthday Celebration, was the auditorium un- able to accommodate the audience. During the past year, our literary activities have taken a decidedly different course. We have divided the school into two literary societies. From each group a Committee of Eight was selected to choose an appropriate name and draw up a Constitution and By-Laws. The one society was named The Ralph Waldo Emerson Literary Society and the other, The james Whitcomb Riley Literary Society. Each Literary Society aims to render two programs each month. The programs are characterized by Readings, Vocal and Instrumental Duets and Solos, Choruses, Debates, One Act Plays, School Paper, Special Features and Extemporaneous Speeches. Every student has been afforded an opportunity to take either a major or minor part in some program. The success of our programs is largely due to the attendance of the patrons and friends of Nlifflinburg. They not only showed their interest by being present but by creating an atmosphere of cooperation between the home and the school. We trust that this fine spirit of interest and cooperation will continue to the end that each society shall be urged to render still better programs.

C5126 iilu -25 Athletics The past year has been note-worthy in the realm of Athletics. Not that we evaluate success by the number of victories we have scoredg but rather by the great number of students who participated in the many phases of athletics offered the student body of M. H. S. Largely through the efforts of Prof. Boyer, there is offered such a variety of sports that no student is denied an opportunity to acquire a reasonable degree of skill in some branch of athletics. Soccer, tennis, volley ball and quoits occupied our attention during the fall. Late in November, a new sport, basketball, was in- troduced into our High School because of the excellent facilities afforded by one of the best high school gymnasiums in Central Pennsylvania. Basketball has been extremely popular, not only among the boys but the girls as well. To be convinced of its gripping qualities, one need only visit the gymnasium during one of the sea- son's games and see the crowded bleachers. Under the able coaching of Prof. Boyer and Mr. Haney, the Boys' Team closed a very successful seasong while the Girls' Team, coached by Mrs. Steese and Miss Berry, achieved equal success. In addition to the efforts of the High School Athletic Association, the Alumni of M. H. S. have demonstrated their loyalty by providing many pieces of much- needed apparatus. To date, they have provided basketball equipment, mats, jump- ing standards, traveling rings and volley ball fixtures. High School Day, October ll, 1924 netted 515434. The Athletic Board for 1924-1925 is as follows: 'Seniors Luther Kurtz, Vice-President Pauline Spigelmyer Isabel Snyder juniors Betty Kieffer john Farley Clair Brungard, President Sophomores William Musser Dorothy Showalter Pauline Klingman Freshmen Harry Sterling junior Leitzell Ruth Wagner Faculty Member-Prof. Frank P.

Un- bounded success was attained during the preceding yearg while the season of 1924 seemed to be handicapped in more than one way. First, extremely rainy weather prevented practice at regular intervals and caused a cancellation of a large number of games, in the second place, it seemed that although a veteran team was always on the field, coordination and brilliant team work were lacking. Good pitching was in evidence in most of the gamesg but hitting and fielding were very much below par. The summary of the games is as follows: April 2. Watsontown defeated us at Watsontown, 5-1. Sechler was on the mound and allowed only one hit and tallied 10 strike outs. Barber was hurt and Yearick donned the mit with credit to himself and team. April 12. Milton at Milton. We lost 2-1. Brungard pitched a two hit game and had sixteen strike outs but errors again played a part in this exceedingly close and interesting game. l50l af CD9 ha tfluya - Baseball 1 9 14 April 16. IVlontoursville defeats us at home, 16-3. For four innings we kept pace by the score l-l, but in the fifth inning the heavy artillery of Nlontoursville opened up and drove Sechler from the mound. Beckley pitched the remainder of the game and controlled the situation. April 19. We journeyed to New Berlin and were defeated by the New Berlin Athletics, 4-1. Brungard, Barber, Beckley and Ruhl starred for Nlilflinburg but hits by Walker and Oldt late in the game proved disastrous to Nl. H. S. April 26. We defeat Selinsgrove High at home.

The third season has passed since Soccer was introduced into Mifflinburg High School by Prof. Boyer who has labored faithfully and consistently in building up a team which could sustain the assaults of worthy opponents. Each year has found the sport becoming more and more popular as is evidenced in the large number who attend practice. During the season of 1924, we played eight Inter-High School games. In addition to our Inter-High School games, we staged the usual Inter-Class Championship which was won by the juniors and Freshmen, 2-0. The summary of games played is as follows: October 11, 1924. Rebersburg High was defeated at Mifflinburg, 5-0. It was High School Day and everything spelled victory. Goals--Wise 2, Baker 2, and Brungard 1. October 17, 1924. M. H. S. defeated at Spring Mills, 3-O. It was Community Day and we assisted in dedicating their New Athletic Field. Penalties imposed upon Miller and Farley netted two goals for Spring Mills. The third goal was earned. October 24, 1924. juniors and Freshmen vs. Seniors and Sophomores. A most exciting game. Side lines crowded. Wise scored for junior and Freshmen team and Glover, a Sophomore, accidentally kicked the ball into the wrong goal. e October 21, 1924. We lose to Spring Mills at home by score 1-0. The goal was the result of an accident. A foul kick hit the referee and bounced through the goal. The game was keenly contested by both sides and was viewed by a large num- ber of spectators. November 8, 1924. Coburn Athletics defeated us at Mifflinburg by the score 2-1. Bartges, the teacher of the Coburn Grammar School scored both goals for the visitors. Wise scored for Mililinburg. A cold day. Enthusiasm ran high. November 14, 1924. Rebersburg High at Rebersburg. Score 0-0. A good game characterized by fast playing on both sides. A dead-lock. Boys fascinated near toll gate. November 15, 1924. M. H. S. vs. Coburn Athletics at Coburn. We, first, clear a field of rocks, second, we play soccer. Score 1-1. Musser startles a crowd by dribbling length of field and scoring. November 20, 1924. We defeat Center Hall at Mifflinburg 2-1. Musser tal- lied the Hrst score and Baker scored the second from the center of the field. Novmber 26, 1924. We play Center Hall at Center Hall. Score 1-0. We fought stubbornly during the last half and bombarded their goal with try after try, but the brilliant defense prevented us from scoring.

Modern life is complex and continues to become more and more so as time hastens on. The activities of the Public School have been increasing at a tremen- dous pace. Formerly, the curriculum contained only the Three R's , but today it has expanded until it touches almost every phase of life as we shall find it when we enter into the various professions and avenues of life. The increased curriculum is justified. First, because the needs of a Democracy demand a citizen who, in the words of the Greeks, is many-sided, and secondly, because all the elements of scholastic training are not found in the class-room routine. Self-control, initiative, alertness, leadership, respect for law, cooperation and character are developed largely by and through play. The introduction of Basketball into our list of High School sports has increased the morale and spirit of the boys and girls. The hours of loafing on the streets and sundry places have been shortened into minutes because basketball and kindred sports demand systematic and regular training. A l54l me .illu -25 U On October 5, 1924, Prof. Boyer and Mr. Haney, our faithful and efficient bas- ketball coaches, issued the clarion call for practice. The response was marvelous. Each practice found from 25 to 30 candidates contending for a berth on the varsity so that they might bring renown to themselves and their Alma Mater. Let our schedule speak for itself.

Previous to this year, the girls of Mifflinburg High School were not active par-- ticipants in Inter-High School Athletics. This lack of participation, however, was not due to the lack of initiative and aggressiveness on the part of the girls but wholly to the lack of facilities. The construction of a New High School Building with its modern and Up-to-date Gymnasium afforded an opportunity for physical training which is so necessary in order to maintain a true proportion between the physical, mental and moral phases of life. Basketball assumed a remarkable degree of popularity from its first appearance and increased to such a degree that the mention of a girls game found the bleachers crowded with eager and enthusiastic spectators. Cooperation among the candidates, and a friendly spirit of rivalry accompanied by the excellent coaching of Mrs. Steese and Miss Berry enabled the Girls Team to compete with opposing teams which had several years of playing to their credit. ww me tilu -25 ' Our first practice was held November 15, 1924. Forty candidates offered them- selves for the various positions. A remarkable feature of the basketball season and a manifestation of the morale of the girls is that even though many girls were not able to make the team during the first year they persistently came out and helped develop those who gave most promise of representing their high school on the Var- sity.

Each grade from the Seventh to Twelfth had a repre- sentative team and the rivalry and interest aroused among the student body placed basketball on a healthy plane. The Sophomores and Seniors were the closest rivals throughout the series and the final game between the two contenders was an exhibi- tion of real skill and strategy in basketball. The Seniors won 7-6.

The excellent supervision of this as well as the other High School sports on part of Prof. Boyer, has aided in developing activity in this field. The popularity of tennis can only be understood when a visit is made to the courts at 7:00 A.M. At this hour, a small band of faithful enthusiasts are there, return at 11:30 A.M., and another group is contesting a series, and after re-visiting at 4:00 P.M. and seeing a large number waiting their turn, you will be thoroughly convinced that tennis has gripping qualities as a High School sport. Boys' Matches The Inter-Class Tennis Matches played during the Fall resulted in the follow- ing championships: Singles Champion William Musser, '27. Doubles Champions Clair Brungard, '26, and Charles Snyder, '26, Girls' Matches Singles Champion Dorothy Showalter, '27, Doubles Champions Dorothy Showalter, '27, and Pauline Klingman, '27, Clarence Watson, '25. l61l LEST WE FORGET l62l H D126 ,iilug-25 ' Alumni Memorial Fund The Alumni Association of the Mifllinburg High School, at their annual meeting in june, 1923, decided to raise a Memorial Fund which should be expended for some suitable and necessary equipment for the use of the pupils of the Grades and High School.
