THE BLACK ARROW 29 Class Poem Our High School days will soon be over. We are neither sad or glad When we think of the way we've labored. And the many good times we've had. We've studied Math, Science and History. English and who knows what, But yet we feel happy about it, To think of the knowledge we've got. When we were Freshmen four years ago. The Seniors used to laugh. They'd look at us and say we were. As green as any grass” But soon we proved that little class Was brighter than they thought; The teachers, too. had to confess. That we weren't past being taught Our boys went out for athletics And were not the slowest on the team. The girls were always backing them— That gave them much more steam. When things went wrong, as they sometimes will. We fought the battle through And when the skies were blue again. We shared the sunshine, too. We’ve had good times and bad times together, We've broken many a rule; But still in the end we love it— It s a pretty good old school. And now we’ve finished our high school life. But if we live to be eighty and eleven We ll always remember Old P. H. S.-------- And the Class of '27.

28 THE BLACK ARROW Canaan Valley. Fred Hansford and Gerald Summerfield have become farmers and are specializing in raising thoroughbred Jersey cows. One of the members of the class. Virginia Stumpf. the girl who was always so kind, stepped into a fortune over night and now she is one of the leaders of New York’s Exclusive “500”. The very much admired ability of William Phillips to “toot” a coronet, has at last full sway, in Paul Whitman's orchestra. As a whole, the members of the little Class of '27 have weathered the storm of life admirably and each and every one of them will, in some way or other, leave their mark in the world—If not directly discernable—in other ways. Perhaps, in helping another struggling graduate to find a foothold in a cold, hard world.
