Oul L(nc)eiclawmen WE’RE NEXT “Jolly Juniors” says the old adage. And so we are! The shot that has been heard around the world of knowledge was fired by the junior class when it chose officers to start off the year. Elaborate plans were made for the class treasury. Basketball games and dances were the cries of the juniors when not studying for exams (which we take every six weeks whether we want to or not). The Christmas operetta was represented by Raymond Brewer who played the part of Scrooge. Christmas Vacation spelled with capital letters—that’s the way it is spelled for this class. Mid-term exams, we always have to suffer, after having a good time. No process learned in physics was used to dry away the tears, but anyway, most of us are passing, with and without honors. My, what a relief! Prom, prom, prom—most significant in the conversation of the junior class. Just listen once and you’ll see. In the first May Day Festival, we chose Lucille Smuch and Bertha Snyder to lead the procession as attendants. This successful group of juniors strives to be: I ust and true; U p to the standard; N ever dependent; I nterested in knowledge; 0 bedient to superiors; R eady for service; S incere to all. SMOOTH SAILING On September 3, 1941, the sophomores stepped on board the good old ship P. T. H. S. The vessel left dock, and we soon settled down. During the calm officers were elected to guide our ship through the rest of the voyage. After Christmas vacation we had to slight our duties on the ship to study for mid-terms. Of course geometry and Latin seemed to be rather difficult, but we bucked up when the exams had passed. Only a few were lost in the storm. We were nearly drow'ned with surprise when w'e were informed of our class party on February 20. It took several days to forget this occasion. On this voyage w'e were accompanied by Bob Bevan, tenor vocalist; Delores Moog, pianist; Thomas Bosnjak and Bryce Heasley, talented athletes; Elizabeth Galuska, a remarkable student; and Mary Ann Ferenc and Gladys Barnes, May Queen attendants. After nine months of rough traveling, the captain, seeing that we were seasick, gave us three months to rest before returning to meet our junior year.

MARCH ON Heigh-ho! Look at the freshmen! Yea! September 3, 1940! One hundred of us, more or less! Imagine our disappointment when we could not have the freshmen privileges; such as, chewing gum, coming to class late, talking, writing notes, and not preparing our lessons but just bluffing. Oh, what a blow to the freshmen! Or was it because we weren’t ever granted these privileges before? We are recovering, and take notice, we are showing a great improvement. The class now takes an active part in the various school activities by showing loyal and regular membership to the clubs. The freshmen also have an interest in music—some belong to the band, a few belong to a A Cappella chorus. No wonder our music department has improved! Keep up the good work, freshmen. Then, like the other classes, we sponsored our freshmen party. And my, what a party! Later came the long-waited-for Thanksgiving vacation, but it wasn’t long until it was over and back to school we came. Basketball, for which we furnished some players for the Junior Varsity Team, was next in line. Realizing that the semester exams were drawing near, we were glad when the Christmas holidays arrived, so that we could clean out our lockers and take all our books home to study. (I wonder?) The class took part in the Christmas Operetta which proved to be quite a success. Then, after vacation, we came back, anxious to get the exams over. I wonder what the freshman class would do if: Kathleen and Bertha didn’t know how to dance, freshmen were as bashful as seniors, Beulah Ross didn't have musical ability, Dan Bigler and Richard Eaton weren’t interested in basketball, and if all the freshmen would receive an “A in deportment. And now that the year is drawing to an end, the rest of us can wish this freshmen army a gun full of success in their remaining years.
