wif, Senior History Reviewing the four years that we have spent in P. H. S., we are impressed with their rapid flight. It seems but yesterday that we, an awed, meek group of Fresh- men organized ourselves into something resembling system and proceeded to wend our way through high school. One singular feature in our history is that for the past three years we have been guided by one president, namely Elsie VVhite, to whom much credit is due for patience and all-around ability as a leader. VVe received our welcome to the portals of the high school at the hands of the class of '23 , who entertained us royally, in spite of the inclement weather. At the close of the Freshman year all of us were completly adjusted and im- mune to the jibes of our Seniors. . The Sophomore year went smoothly enough, with a sleigh ride and a class par- ty constituting our main relief from entire inactivity. Next in line came the year when usually everyone begins to feel a degree of importance and absolute necessity-the Junior year. A class party was given at the expense of the class fthey always arej and a majority report pronounced it suc- cessful. The main feature of the Junior year was the presentation of Come Out of the Kitchen -the proceeds of which were employed to bolster up the expense of the Junior-Senior Banquet, held May 8, 1925. A course of the Redpath Lyceum was secured for the next season, which brings us to the highlight in our high school career-the Senior year. Our last year in P. H. S. was officially opened by the Senior reception of the Freshmen, which reminded us that just four years previous we had been similarly received. The Senior class has been diligently striving to accumulate funds for the class trip to Niagara Falls in May. The Redpath course was instrumental in furnishing a neat profit to assist in furthering our plans for the trip. The Senior play given this year was Kempy , directed by the Misses VVells, Johnston, VViggins, and Mr. Parks, the four of whom have been our patrons for the last two years, except Miss Wells who was with us in the Sophomore year and has been our advisor since that time. Two of the Seniors have achieved unusual and honorable distinctions this spring of which we are very proud. Miss Julia Wilcox won the District Oratory Contest held in Highland Park, April 23, and Miss Blanche Freeman won first place in the District Shorthand Contest held in VVayne, April 24. YVe wish to extend our sincerest appreciation to Misses Wells, Johnston, Wig- gins and to Mr. Parks who have shown so much forbearance and interest in our wel- fare and who have worked dili entlv that we may o to Nia ara. g . . g g 15 I

P' P Il 'Sl IB li 1 1 i Senior Play Kempyn, a very interesting three-act comedy by .l. C. and Elliott Nugent, was presented by the Senior class Thursday, May 13. The play, under the direction of the Misses VVells, VViggins, and Jolinston, was a great success. The story is of a typical flapper who marries a young plumber merely because he uunderstandsn her, having read her books and having sworn to marry the author- ess. But after the marriage takes place, both find that the understanding is not as clear as it might have been. The play was a success not only because of the splendid manner of its presentation, but also because of the snappy wit and humor of the comedy itself.
