Class History During our first year under the big top we were guided by Miss Koons, Mrs. Dice, and Mrs. Skouger. This year we had an exciting adventure. The whole class Went for a train ride to Montgomery. The biggest event of the year was the Tom Thumb Wedding in which Billie Breneisen was the bride and Dave Wallis was the groom. Our trainers for second grade were Mrs. Hoffman, Mrs. Goodenow, and Miss Beilhart fMrs. Edwardsj. This year we started our reading circles. We continued with our rhythm band which was begun in the first grade. The third year found us in the homerooms of Miss Shook and Miss Stahl fMrs. Stahlj. Everyone participated in a play, Christmas With the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, which was the event of the year. Physical Education classes were begun for both boys and girls. For our fourth year in the big top, we climbed the stairs to the homerooms of Mrs. Smith and Miss Young QMrs. Broderickj. During the year we took an interesting tour of the Muncy Historical House and the gardens and presented a program of poems in P. T. A. Our trainers in fifth grade were Miss Brelsford QMrs. Grahamj and Mrs. Kashinka. Mrs. McCarty replaced Mrs. Kashinka, who was forced to resign because of illness. We changed rooms this year for the first time and had two teachers to make our work more interesting. Several students became members of the Fifth and Sixth Grade Glee Club. Miss Gastor and Mrs. Stine were our leaders this year. The hardest subject seemed to be geography. Much of our time in school seemed to be spent in the corners. Every noon hour was spent playing prison on the playground. This was an exciting game and resulted in at least one bloody nose we know of. Puppy love in full-bloom was witnessed this year when Dave Wallis and Margaret Peddie, Toot Hill and Tom Myers, and Carolyn Bryfogle and Wayne Printzenhoff started dating. Several members of the class began their social life by taking dancing lessons. In seventh grade our trainers were Miss Waldron and Mrs. Arthur. We had quite a time getting through the halls. Willie Wertman especially went in circles, so he was finally brought under control by Mrs. Arthur and led to the right room. Some of the boys went out for Junior High Basketball this year. Miss Carpenter fMrs. Reagenj and Mr. Girven were our leaders for eighth grade. A sextet composed of Jim Arms, Jack Balliet, Bill Edgeworth, Tom Myers, Paul Guise- white, and Lynn Derr was formed. Ninth grade was a busy year for us with Mr. Schuyler and Mr. Hughes leading us. Many of the boys went out for football and wrestling this year. Our class went on an exciting trip to Hershey Park at the end of the year. The trip was a great success with only three flat tires and engine trouble on one of the buses. Our com- mencement was a thrill to all of us. Gerry Yoder and Dolores Frey won the American Legion Awards. Alice Ann Swartz and Tommy Myers won the poetry awards. In tenth grade we were capably led by Miss Eustis and Mr. Houseknecht. Watch it! Here comes an eraser, seemed to be the battle cry of our class this year, with everyone participating in at least one battle a day. Many of the kids joined clubs for the first time this year. Our Journalism Club took a trip to Williamsport to tour the Grit Publishing Company and Brown Library. 22

Class Will We, the seniors of the class of 1952, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make this our last will and testament. To the teachers, we leave peace and quiet for the summer months. To the juniors we leave the marks on the walls, the limburger in the radiators, the vaseline on the banisters, and the paper airplanes so they can continue our policy of harassing the teachers and pupils of the lower classes. To the sophomores we leave two more years of school. To the freshmen we leave all our books. To satisfy the teachers, use them more than we did. To all future academic sections, the twelve academic section leaves their ability to talk Mr. Musial and Miss Eustis out of tests.

To keep it in the family. Joanne Schoch entrusts her ability in decorating stages, posters, etc., to Doris Shook so that it can be given out as it is needed. Ah, ha!

If you see Judy Vermilya going to Hughesville a lot, it will be because she has been willed Helen Poust's way with the men there.
