MELVIN TENGLUN3) “A friend who makes blackness bright.” “Tanglefoot” has proved himself a willing worker and excellent student by capably filling the position as manager of the football team of ’29 and by securing a permanent place on the Honor Roll. He is also talented along the musical line, having rendered several solos admirably well for school programs. Melvin si planning to become an engineer, in which field we are sure he will be successful. JACK WALTER “Wrapped in the solitude of his own originality.” What would the class do without its serious man? Jack possesses astonishing musical ability and has been in the High School Orchestra for five years. Our “Ole Bull” will be greatly missed in the future. His pleasing personality and scholastic ability have helped to make him popular. He is planning to become an engineer and we know he will be as successful there as in high school. WINIFRED WYLIE Joy rises in me like a summer morn.” When “Win” left the Belfast ranks and decided that she preferred those of P. A. H. S. she caused many an unnormal palpitation of the hearts. Her bewitching beauty and fascinating charm have made her extremely popular and have won for her many friends though she has only been with us two years. “Win” has that intangible something that makes your darkest days bright and this characteristic alone assures her success.

JEAN SKADEN “Friendship is power and riches to me” “Skit is the cream of jest at any party. She has won admiration by her congenial personality and her gratuitous service. The Honor Roll would be at a low ebb without her name. Not only along the scholastic line has “Skit” displayed excessive ability. She has been a member of the Glee Club and her dramatic capabilities have placed her in the lime light. Blithe, vivacious, witty, Jean— may no dark clouds ever mar your happiness. ALICE MARIE SQUIRES “ Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig's bent, the tree's inclined. Alice is the most studious girl of the class; her name is always seen in the Honor Roll. Alice’s helpful suggestions and friendly aid have done much for the class. We will all miss her when we part in June but we’ll never forget her. We wish you success, Alice, in your life work and we're sure you’ll make a good librarian. GORDON TAYLOR “To be well dressed is an asset Many things could be said of “Fuzzy” if we could catalogue them here. Who is it that we can depend on to do his very best? Who tried hard to twist wisteria perfectly? Who has fought to uphold the honor of our class? As a result of this “Fuzzy” has a great many friends who will miss him next year. We hope that some day Gordon will be prosperous and preeminent. PHILIP TEATER “Fit to bear the weight of mightiest monarchies. “Tote” has always been with us and a most valuable member he has proved to be. He is an excellent student, his name often appearing on the Honor Roll. “Tete's” popularity is due to h5s jovial wit and readv smile. He expects to b‘' a great lawyer some day. Here’s wishing you all the luck in th world “Tete.”—We expect to see you in the Supreme Court in a few years.

uJir (Tiyrr iCthj IST'ORY’ It is with feelings of mingled joy and regret that the historian turns to the task of chronicling the events of the four short years which were spent by the class of 1930 at Port Allegany High School; regret, because now, when it is too late to mend them, we realize our shortcomings—joy, because of the pleasure of a task accomplished. Of course it is not possible to narrate our achievements in this space, nor is it fitting that we should sing our praises. But, in the seemingly impossible task alloted to us of surpassing or even equalling the record of the many classes gone before, we believe that we have succeeded. In the fall of 1926, we stood on the threshold of our high school career, a band of excited and trembling freshmen. We were kept shivering by the dire and revengeful threats of the juniors until the inevitable and, to us, much dreaded Freshman Reception. Then, in the face of great odds, much in favor of the upper classmen, we freshies “bit the dust hard.” That the serious side of our high school life appealed to us was evidenced by the fact that we chose “Crescat Scientia” as our class motto. We might add that this particular motto has always been a source of secret envy for the upper classmen. During our Sophomore year the reputation of being the worst class in high school was thrown upon us. At this time we and our sister class put ut a banner that, despite the efforts of the remaining part of the school to tear it down, stayed in its conspicuous place nearly all day. There it was, almost within reach of the sidewalk until a group of Juniors, after hours of thinking and great effort, took it down. In our next and Junior year, we found ourselves called upon to teach a large class of Freshmen their proper places and duties. This was no easy task as quite a few of them had what is termed “swelled heads”, and of all freshmen ailments, this is the most difficult to cure. Nevertheless, by the end of the year the job was done and now the once green freshmen are the grateful Sophs of today. Once again and with marked success, a Junior Prom was put across. All society was astounded and marveled at the ingenuity shown. It was such a success that sighs of deep regret were heard on all sides when the chaperones announced that the “wee sma” hours of the morning were approaching. Our class ring was so well chosen that the other classes hastened to make a contract for the same design. It incorporates the Indian and canoe, reminiscent of Port Allegany’s early days. At last we grew to be grave and dignified seniors. As usual the class was divided on the subject of a Washington trip, but this time the division was more noticeable since more of the class decided to remain at home. However, the majority of the class settled down to work with Washington as a goal for the end of the year.
