We can only hope that our future success will equal that of the past so that we may be a credit not only to ourselves and to our school but to the people of Port Allegany.

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.
