Senior Class Party A Howling uccess Talk about funj The Seniors never had a better time in their life than they did on Tuesday night, February 13, at the home of J. . Long. The entertainment comrrittee provided for some verv fine amusement. Music was furnished by the well-known Perry County Ramblers. And say, if anyone would like to learn a new dance just take a few lessons from Lewis Long or Russell Porting they sure do have the swing. The class was under the guidance of Hr. Rothenberger and Mr. Dean, two very good chaperons. Perry County Ramblers On Tuesday morning February 7, at twenty minutes of twelve, a group of about BO students collected ir the 12th 7.rade to listen to a radio program from Y.HP, Harrisburg, which meant more to them.than a speech from President Roosevelt, At the scheduled time the old familiar strains of The Perry County Ramblers was heard which made the Seniors feel pretty proud, c.s Kenneth Hultzapple is a prominent member in this ochestra. ? Do you remember when Miriam Barrick, Jean Clark, Margaret Boswell, Cam Bal3baugh, and Helen Kraft wore glasses. Young Han , said Mr, .by, how is it that rou are always the last one to arrive in the morning and the first one to leave in the evening. Glenn C-mith: Why, sir, you wouldn' t want me to be late twice a day, would you?

You can get nothing more out, than you put in. Small school activities cooperation between various units of the whole is necessary; end in these sundry avocations it is mcreso evident than in any other branch. So now, students, cast your votes; ask other cl sses what they like; cooperate and benefi . b. the whole school being more and more closely bound. Instead of a small minority being pampered, let the great majority be pleased. Geez de perfessor’s ri it. Tree cheers fer de perfessorV Isn’t that rather applicable in 21. k. .. too? And by the by, you remember the last issue of the Blue and V Iiite had I something about casting votes to decide'what the student body liked in the ay of assembly programs?

They are at thoir uosks bright and early and hard at work in the twinkling of an eye. .Jo or,e is ever late. In assembly everyone sings i joins in the demotions with g eat sincerity; but what is perhaps most err.ivkablG is the attentiveness with which they listen to the anno rcevents mad6 by Mr. Eby In Study Hall everyone works, no one whispers, no paper wads are thrown, no one is sleeping. In short everyone is concentrating on their work. The class rooms are perfect models of decorum. Every eye is held by the teacher, every mind is endowed with one purpose: to learn.

Alumni Dear Phoebe, As you know all the schools have recently had their semester vacation and several of the alunni visited our school. Those on vacation who came to see us were Gertrude Snyder and Fred Wertz, both from Dickenson, Betty Retert -from Wilson and Fern Fosselman fro-;: Thompson's Business school. ? e were sorry to hear of Virginia Hombach's recent illness. She was confined to her homo for several weeks. Some people say the depression isn't over jret; but it certainly must be for Jake Wertz, who graduated from State College at ’the end of the first semester, hds a job. He is a traveling welfare worker. The wedding bells have rune again for a member of the alumni. Helen Kohensaildt 3C and Clarence L. Barnhart were married Tuesday, January 30, 1934. Mr. Eby has received reports from various colleges where our alumni -are attending and re are glad to say that they are e . all very favorable. Gertrude Snyder is heme from school on account of the mumps, With love, Beatrice 11 THE ELITE AND ..HITE She lives not far. from the school house And she has a wonderful line For I've heard n.er tell Sam soft as a mouse To come up and see her sometimei Here's a lad from the eignth grade ■;� ho enjoys teint in a Fireman's parade, Waen a Boy Scout the fireman need He's always sure to take the lead.
