John S. McCurdy was 9 elected principal. The first class to graduate from the institution was composed W I of four members. M f The school board, in February, 1914, resolved to submit to the voters of A fp the borough a proposition for borrowing 825,000 for a new school building. N f The proposition was brought to a vote and the voters decided favorably that a Q 5 high school building should be erected on Chestnut Street, riorth of Summit M f Street. Work was begun in 1914 and the halls and upper floors were completed Ru Q for entrance for the term of 1915 '16, The number in the high school in 191445 RQ, f was 80 pupils and in 1915 '16 the pupils numbered 125. Later the 8th and 7th 'Nh Q grades respectively were added, forming a 6 year high school. Grant E. Delph f was then chosen as principal. From 1916 up to 1930, the supervision of the high M 'Q school was in the hands of the following men: H. E. Messersmith, Conrad 'Um M Muehe, Howard Heckman, O. J. Farrell, and jacob D. Wentzel. K Such was the growth and progress of the school that the accommodations M 5 were insufficient to meet the growing needs of the school, and in 1931 an mm f additional piece was constructed with ample space for recitation rooms, a library, A F home economics and manual training departments, and a gymnasium. During N 9 the year when the building was under construction and for three following Q f terms, Harry B. Fehl served in the capacity of principal. In 1934, the position N M was accepted by Charles O. Metcalf, our present principal. Q W Much has been done recently to improve the general status of the high M F school. The athletic field at the rear of the school has been made suitable for Q f baseball, soccer, track, and tennis. With this good record and the bright 'lm F prospects for the future, we sincerely hope that Mohnton High School will Q fp continue to uphold the finest standards of education.

Our class consisted of forty-four members and was my 5 divided into two groups, with Mr. Kyle and Miss Ruth asuour home room teachers. Our class took several hikes and enjoyed doggie roasts. On one of M, 9 these occasions, wishing to befriend one of our number, we wandered so far Q F from home that at last we gladly submitted to being carried home in a coal lm truck. 4 In our sophomore year our class again was united with Mr. Pawling as Q 5 our home room teacher, and we had thirtyfthree members in the class. This gk f was the year when we selected our rings, which caused much enthusiasm. my 45 In our junior year our main activities were the magazine campaign, the ml, A supper, and the prom. Near the end of the term we were entertained at a 'gg W party by the Senior Class, because we were the winners in the magazine an F campaign. mm A This year, being our senior year, is the busiest. In this year's magazine F' campaign we were again the winners. For this reason we were entertained at a N g party by the Junior Class. In November our class successfully presented the M 9 play Skidding. We held a supper in December, and a dance in February gg pl' to increase the amount in our treasury. The last events which will conclude our M ,ff school days will be commencement, class night, and the Wasliington trip.
