In the year of 1919 we, the class of '23, entered upon our high 'school career In our Freshmen year we did not contribute as much, perhaps, toward high school activities as we have in later years, but even then Donald and Ralph brought us as much honor as any other class can boast of when the former won the state championship in the two mile race, and the latter in the one mile. In our Sophomore year, we produced indis- pensable material for foot ball, track and both boys' and girls' basketball. In our Junior year we gave even more. We were the llrst class for six years to undertake the work of putting out a year book. After quite a few months of hard labor, done chiefly by the class itself, both in business managing and in preparing material for the year book, it was completed and published. the total cost of the Year Book being about 5950. After having collected all the money from the ad- vertisements and sales of the book itself, we found we still owed about S150. This we hope to pay from the proceeds ol the Senior play. Besides putting the Year Book through, we successfully managed the Lyceum, whighxcon- 5 sisted of five numbers: Reno, the magiciang the Mercedes Quartette: Sanford, vocational expertg and Ralph Bingham, the funny man g and Marie Walter Co. In both our Junior and Senior years we have showed great talent, as the star player in all the high school plays, have come from our class. We also stand high in our literary activities. , We are the first class in the history ci' the High School to organize. and make a suc- cess of a Shakespeare Club. As a isummary of our greatly enjoyed work in thej club, we plan to give A Shakespeare Revue, for our Senior play. We are also the first class to organize and operate successfully a library. The Pennsboro High School Library has been under.the supervision of the Senior Library Training Class since the early part of the flrst semester. Q ' 5 4 We leave the high school and work with regret, and hope that the things we have started will be successfully carried on. ' J. D. L., '23. The Shakespeare Revue At the present we are all working hard on the Shakespeare Revue, hoping to be able to give to others a little of the beauty we have found in the great poet's play as we have read them in the Shakespeare Club. For the sake of variety, as well as of giving each one in the class a chance to participate, we have chosen the following scenes: Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet Court Scene from Merchant of Venice Rehearsal Scene from Midsummer Night's Dream Drinking Scene from Twelfth Night Plot Scene from Much Ado About Nothing Quarrel Scene from Julius Caesar Forest Scene from As You Like It The music will all be selected from Shake- speare's poems, or operas based on them: H'ark, Hark the Lark! , Who is Sylvia? The Waltz from Romeo and Jullet and a clown song from Twelfth Night. , V .Ye i I' X a E 'l'H1-1 M OUNTAIN EAR 7 Senior Picture Writeup of Seniors HELEN BRAKE Washington Irving, '20-'22.

Mere words cannot do justice to the admir- able record and accomplishment which the class of '24 has made for itself since 1921, when about thirty-five smiling faces appeared at Pennsboro High School. The whole school looked at them with amazement, not because they were so green, but because of their de- termined and enthusiastic look. By the end of the year under the leadership of their ac- complished faculty, no other class could sur- pass them in athletics, in studies, or even in having a good time. The next year, when they came back as Sophomores, their former class number had decreased a little, but new ones came in and kept the number up to the standard. There has been no high school activity, social, ath- letic or scholastic, in which the class has not been well represented. More fame was won in athletics than in the preceding year, as several Sophomore boys were added to the different athletic teams, and some of the' girls succeeding in being placed on the basketball team. While supremacy in athletics was one of the prominent and brilliant features of the Sophomore class, mental training was not neg- lected and the class room work was up to the standard. The third year has proved the busiest in the h'story of the class. First was the Lyceum Course, which was managed and put over the top by the Juniors. Then basketball season opened with four Juniors on the girls' team, and three substitutes. The boys' team was made up of one Sophomore, three Juniors, and one Senior. Several Junior boys' were out for track and made a good showing. No more was needed to be said of the Juniors' athletic ability after the class tournament, as the Juniors won both the boys' and girls' tournaments. The Juniors made a success of something that had never been attempted by the High School since it originated-the publication of a school paper, The Mountain Ear. One good trait of the class is their excellent team-work, as shown when they had the Carnival. Everyone did his part, and as a result it was a great success. Great indeed has been their past history, and they are looking into the future with the same spirit that they had during their flrst three years at Pennsboro High School. J. M. W., '24.

N THE MOUNTAIN EAR 13 I ophomore Histor On the twelfth day of September, 1921, thirty- seven boys and girls entered P. H. S. fresh from the grades, making one of the largest classes that ever entered. We were undaunted by threats of initiation and stood it stout and brave hearts. About four weeks after school began we met and organized our class. We all kept our grades above failure. As football is the first thing in order of ath- letics, we offered from our class as represen- tative, John Jack. On the ninth of December we had our first party which was a great success excepting for the uncivilized persons keeping guard outside the building-fine sentinel work! They w.ll sure have a vacation even if they never finish their education. Next came basketball. We entered into this with all good will, sending as representatives John Jack, James Pritchard, Wells and Ayres. The rest of the year rolled by and vacation came. What a glorious freedom! September! Back to school again with our old vim. Class organization lined up the following officers: President-Emma Costilow. Vice President-Jean Fleming. Secretary-Hazel Best. Treasurer-Carl Pritchard. Our motto, flower, and colors remained the same as the first year. But stop! we have omitted a very important feature in our play. Mr. Coffindaffer, we introduce as class critic. tYea, Coffindafferlj As something new this year, instead of talks every chapel morning, we have plays, each class taking its turn. The Sophomores have proved a great success in these activities! ' One lonesome little party marks the s0c'al activities this year, but every one enjoyed him- self immensely and that is sufficient. Athletics! Surely no one can contradict us when we say we have made a fair showing this year, contributing to the first team in basketball, John Jack, Ruth' Ayres, and Violet Hendershotg to football, John Jack, Rustygand Montgomery. As our track season is not over we cannot tell whether we are going to have stars, but every one knows of the ability of Mont. and John. Sophomores, Rah! Sophomores, Rah! We are planning as the last event of the year, a party for the Seniors. Vacation. We hope to find everyone back in his place the coming year after the long rest.

Some time during the first of school the fifty-two members as- sembled in Mr, Vincent's room and elected the following officers: President-Alex Corra. Vice President-Junior Hogue. Treasurer-Genta Wilson. Secretary-Mary Welch. Class Critic-Mrs. Vincent. The Freshmen have taken a great interest in all school activities. Most of them are members of one of the literary societies, tak- ing important parts in the programs, and five were on the joint program given at the gym- nasium. They showed unusual talent for Freshmen and gave the upper classmen a sur- prise when they entertained at chapel on three different occasions. One of the plays given at chapel, The Family Album, was acted later before a Parent-Teachers Meeting. Several Freshmen went out for athletics. They made a splendid showing and much is expected from them In their future high school years. On a test given to all the classes on- current events, the Freshmen class made the highest average, thus proving their ability to work and win success. But the Freshmen did-not work all the time. Some enjoyment must be had. Early in the fall a Weiner roast was much enjoyed and on the eleventh of May a party was held at the high school. The Freshmen do not have much history now but they expect to have some in the future that will make the high school proud of them.

These organizations have done very creditable work. 'Phey have found the singing of songs arranged for more than one voice a difficult task, but they are gradually learning the art of listening to, as well as of thinking, musical tones. Besides, they are becoming acquainted with selections of character such that no boy or girl should leave public school without being familiar with. In other words, the study of music along with the other academic subjects is preparing them for a fuller and better living. A discussion of the glee clubs would not be complete without mentioning the assistance given by Mr. Ramsey in his efforts to adapt the schedule to their needs, Miss Mercer in singing with the club, Miss Henning for her splendid accompanying, and Miss Strickland for acting as dramatic director of the operetta. These organizations have sung at the Parent- Teachers' meetings, for the Woman's Club dur- ing their district convention, and will furnish the music for commencement. They also gave the operetta Miss Cherryblossomn which has been very highly commended and classed as one of the best productions that has ever been put on in the town, 18 Tun 'll oUN'rA IN EAR ,,, Track and Field Team 4,-1 his Back row-left to right-Brasseur, student managerg Snodgrassg Welchg Hogueg Coach Cunningham.

They were defeated by Parkersburg Saturday, April 28, but they regained lost ground by defeating the fast St: Marys team May 5. They brought new honors to old P, H. S. by winning the sectional meet at Clarks- burg May 12, thus lessening the space in the trophy case by winning the cup for the relay and a plaque and loving cup for winning the meet. We expect to have- to purchase a larger thropy case when the boys return from the state meet. D Football The football season started with the opening of the school year and closed on Saturday be- fore Thanksgiving, with three victories, one tie and four defeats. The material was mostly green but with the experience gained we are predicting great success next year.

Boy's Basketball When basketball season first opened it look- ed as tho the boys would close the season with flying colo1's. The- unexpected always happens and before the season had advanced very far the school was stricken with an epidemic of influenza. Several games had to be cancelled on account of this and consequently some lost The men to receive letters are: Clarence Kerr Harry Bradford Homer Hogue Ralph Dunbar Leland Israal John Jack 10 CLASS 20 'lluifn NlouN'1ul1N EAR Physical Education Class .. , V W 'b ,.E4 5, . rl' 4 ..: '-J-'34 Helen Wilcox Lila Bragg Jean Fleming Nelle Ruberry Ester Gray Ruth Connolly Cora Castin Madge Wilson Thelma Worstell Violet Hendershot 1922-23 was the first year of physical educa- tion in Pennsboro High School, Instruction was given in the gymnasium twice a week throughout the school year.

Its importance is such that it cannot be longer neglected. The course included: Calisthenics, Marching Tac- tics, Indian Club Work, Mimetics and Health Building Exercises.

He was happy for he had planned out just what he was going to say the next time he met her, to the girl who had so aroused his curiosity. He had met her many times yet had never had the courage to say much to her. But this night, as he had a speech all thought out, he smiled bravely as he walked in long strides up to her home, and he felt himself getting stronger as she came out to meet him, He thought of the well-laid plan, the-n began bravely: Jane, I-I-I've been thinking. She smiled. So you have been thinking again, John? Yes, I-I-l've been thinking. It is getting late. , Are you in a hurry? she asked him. A sudden thought came to him and he said to himself, I'll think it over some more and tell her tomorrow. And smiling weakly he stainmered Good night and started for home, angry at himself and his stammering tongue. She smile-d and said to herself, Poor boy, he is always thinking, I suppose if there is any proposing done I will have to do it myself! LORENA SPENCER, '26. TENNIS CLUB ORGANIZED In the Springtime a young man's fancy lightly turns to the thoughts of love, says the poet, but not so with the energetic P. H. S. students. Their thoughts turne-d into a far more substantial channel and this was to organize a tennis club. The students responded heartily, about forty applying for membership. The boys have been working with might and main on the court, and now it is ready for use. It is rumored that, due to the fact of an increase in number of students, there will be a frame building erected on the tennis court site next fall, to be used as a laboratory. If this is true, the club will move the court to the athletic field, which will make an ideal court. The spirit of the club has reached the heart of our great metropolis, as some of the town people have made known their desire to join the club. T'he club wishes to thank all who have con- tributed to the court in any way. Principal J. L. Vincent appointed the follow- ing officers for the remainder of this year: President-Lucia M. Smith, Senior. Vice President-George Lazenby, Junior. Secretary-Harold Cunningham, Freshnian. Treasurer-Margaret Petit, Sophomore. Boost the Tennis Club, students, as you have all other school activities this year, and this, our first year, will be a red letter year in the history of Pennsboro High School. L. M. S., '23. MISS CH ERRYBLOSSOMH The operetta, Miss Cherryblossomf' by John Wilson Dodge and May Heives Dodge, was given April 26 at the gymnasium by the girls' and boys' glee clubs, assisted by five town folks-in all a cast of fifty-two. Mr. Jack Pennycook as Jack was in par- ticularly good voice, while Mrs. John Stoops as Cherry made a dainty and attractive geisha girl. Howard Collins and Opal Monroe as Harry and Jessica gave some pleasing duets. Hector Brasseur as Kokemo was the fun-maker of the eveningg Don Wilson gave- a creditable interpretation of the old Worthing- ton, as did Herbert Cunningham that of James Young, Worthington's secretary. Hugh Jack surprised everyone in his splendid portrayal of the character Togo, mastering several dif- ficult solos. . ' Two groups furnished a well balanced and harmonious background for the principal char- asters: the Geishas-Lila Bragg, Alfreda Cline, Cora Castine, Jean Fleming, Lottie Lambert, Alice Lamp, Margaret Petit, Mary Rhinehart, Roseann Wilson, Rena Riggs, Pauline Jobes and Vonda Dixon, and the American Chorus: Nelle Ruberry, Violet Hendershot, Lora Han- lon, Gladys Jack, Marian Marsh, Frankie Rid- dle, Lucia Smith, Mary Welch, Thelma Wor- stell, Hazel Mercer. Ruth Ayers, Helen Wilcox, Edith Cain, Harold Cunningham, Al Edmund- son, Denver Barnes, Waldo Nutter, Carl Sim- mons, Ceslie Peck, Homer Hogue, Milburn Riley, Ben Bee, Alex Corra, Leland Israel, George Bee and Harold Welch. Miss Ruth Ruff, the director, deserves es- pecial credit for her untiring efforts in manag- ing the affair. The pleasing work of the prin- cipal characters, the excellent ensemble work and the artistic stage settings represented hours of patient planning.
