These, now seemingly short years, passed so swiftly that we had little time to pause and think about their true significance to us as we hastened on our educational journey. And now as we approach our Commencement Day, we realize and deeply appreciate the fact that we are about to be graduated from an institution that has afforded us an excellent opportunity to develop our lives physically, mentally, socially and morally. How well we have succeeded in availing ourselves of this opportunity, the future alone must reveal. Our schools, under the guidance of a progressive Iloard of Education and under the efficient supervision of Prof. Iloyer, assisted by an able corps of teachers, have been characterized by phenomenal growth and progress. However, we realize -that this growth and progress could not have been possible had it not been for the support of the various organizations and clubs as well as the individual citizens of our town. Such whole-hearted support indicates real community growth and expansion. As evidence of the progress mentioned, we note the following changes and additions: 1.iThe old High School was remodeled and supplemented with an addition which is the pride of our community. 2.-Qblll' beautiful auditorium was adorned with masterpieces of art, and the stage supplied with modern equipment. 3.-The gymnasium was provided with modern equipment by the Alumni .-Xssociation of our High School. 4.+E8.Cll class room was provided with one or more reproductions of the famous masterpieces of art. 5.-The Riley and Emerson Literary Societies were organized by Prof. Boyer. 6.-The Iloys' Glee Club was organized by Assistant Principal Thomas M. Blnsser. 7.-The Girls' Glee Club was organized by Miss Louise K. Glover. 8.-The Orchestra of twenty pieces was organized by Miss Eleanor R, Berry. 9.-The grading and equipping of a playground for the pupils of the grades. IO.-ThE construction of two tennis courts on the East Campus. II.-The lawn was graded and decorative shrubbery planted. I2.-The introduction of new Sports: Volley ball, soccer, track, basketball, tennis and football. W'1Li.1.xM Mvssmz, y27.

Pol is the pep of the class. From jazz to oratory she alone is distinguished. Being quiet and brave, she hasn't concealed her fascinating glances nor intriguing notes which wander to the Sophomore Class. XYe admire her for her straightforward spirit: although her sharp tongue wounds many loved ones. Her sharp edge of audacityu has kept us in suspense and got us into a lot of trouble-but we glory in the fact that some one has tamed her.

'Twas held out in grandm0ther's garden, .Xnd l watched them at their play, They climbed all the hollyhoeks' ladders, And swung on each nodding rose: They rang everyone of the bluebells, And scattered the poppys' blew. They played hide and seek in the lilies That grew by the garden wallg And danced in each lady slipper, And buzzed 'round the sunflowers tall. The sunbeams all laughed at their sports, The fairies capered with gleeg The birds left off singing and watched them lfrom their perch in the old maple tree. ,Xnd when it was time for refreshments, Each flower gave freely her share. VVhile the sweet peas and gay honeysuckles Contributed much to the fare. Hut when the bright four-oblocks' petals llegan to draw close for the night: The bees buzzed farewell to the garden.

S, came to its own again in the realm of the great American sport. football. Under the able and efficient coaching of our Director of Athletics, VV. Earl Thomas, we established a record which is the envy of other high schools in Cen-tral Pennsylvania. Six victories and two defeats. After three weeks of intensive training in the fundamentals of the game, the squad, numbering eighteen willing candidates, em-barked upon their schedule. A brief summary of Olll' record follows: NORTHUMRERLAND HIGH, 14-M. H. S., o Undaunted, we journeyed to l'Norry and opposed a team of veteran players who anticipated a half a hundred points as a minimum score. However, they had to be content with two touchdowns. The first, a result of a fumbleg the second, via ia well executed forward pass. DANVILLE HIGH, 30-M. H. S., 2 The second game was played at home against Danville, one of the strongest teams in Central Pennsylvania. Once more the forward pass wreaked havoc against the green warriors of M. H. S. Although the great fighting spirit of the locals held back the rush and Capt. Musser scored a safety. f50l -xt Uhr Nautilus 1927 MILLHEIM IIIGH. 6-M, H.

For three quarters we kept the ball in XVatsontown's territorv and hurled back every attempt at our goal. Near the close of the game Catherman became the man of the hour by cleverly intercepting a forward pass which gave us victory. HITGHESYILLE HIGH, o-M. H. S.. 18 Having been lifted into the realm of victories. we next took Hughesville into camp on our local field by an easy score. It was a case of skill against lack of skill in the intricacies ofthe game and we deservedly won. SELINSGROVE HIGH, o-H, H. S.. I2 The sixth opponent was Selinsgrove and the college town boys proved some real opposition. 'After the first play of the game when Catherman ran 40 yards for a score, it resolved itself into a real battle. An additional touchdown was scored by Yearick while the Selinsgrove lads never came within 30 yards of the local goal. LEVVISBURG, 0-M, H. S., 18 The following week proved the feature game of the season when Lewisburg invaded the local camp. The natural rivalry between the towns was sufficient to insure a hard fought game. Lewisburg came to town, as they expressed it, to teach the green M. H. S. boys some real football. However. when they left the fteld they were both sadder and wiser because of a stinging defeat. MUNCY HIGH, ofM. H. S., 20 The final game of the season was played on Thanksgiving Day before a record breaking crowd. Muncy came to town backed by an impressive record and was confident of victory. Before the game had progressed very far, it be- came evident that they were no match for the locals who easily registered their sixth straight victory. Opponents, 44. M. H. S., 89.
