The character of this reception was unusual and was enjoyed by all who attended. Now we were to have our school rings which we had long anticipated. How excited we were until they came, and how proud we were to wear them. The gala event of our Junior year was our Junior or “Golden Prom” which was held May 1, 1930. The color scheme was carried out with golden daffodils combined with green. The dance programs were hand painted daffodils and the favors were daffodil flower cups. After an excellent dinner had been served, the evening was given over to dancing until the wee, small hours of the morning. All left agreeing that it was indeed a “Golden Prom.” The officers elected for the year were: presidents, Leonard Eley, and George Case; vice presidents, George Case, Harry Redington; secretaries, Norma Klein, Marion Wylie; treasurer, Maynard Painter, Philip Carlson; class advisors, Miss House and Miss Orlin. Now we come to our Senior year. A few of our members dropped by the wayside, but most of us are struggling on. Glad we are to have come this far, though in the beginning the way seemed long. Now, as we look back, it has gone quickly. This has been a busy year with most of the class working hard to earn money for their Washington trip and countless routine affairs that must have our first attention. Together with our bazaar and class play “Adam and Eva”, our time had been fully occupied. Last but not least is our Commencement program. The class officers were: presidents, Joe Brown, George Case; vice president, George Case; secretary, Martha Dwyer; treasurer, Cleon Edgar; class advisors, Professor Hardy, Miss Dennin.

(Dip (Dger ICily How short a time it seems, when we look back to September 1927, when we as Freshmen entered Port Allegany High School! How proud we were of our sixty members and we hoped we might keep them all until our Senior year. At our first class meeting Miss Mason was unanimously elected class advisor; George Case, president; George Keagle, vice president; Maxine Rafferty, secretary; and Harry Redington, treasurer. With the first election of officers, we were ready to begin our high school career. Green and white were chosen for our class colors, and all agreed that the white carnation should be our c'ass flower. After much consideration “Work wins everything” was chosen as the class motto, which best expressed the Freshmen attitude toward its four years in high school. Thus we began our journey thru high school, with its tasks, pleasures and rewards. The best year of high school for this class was marked by one major event—the Freshman Reception. It can best be expressed in a few words, “It was all we expected.” Tin invitation with its unique and funny stunts was soon over and with relieved minds, the Freshmen joined the upper classmen in the gymnasium where dancing, which was enjoyed by all, turned the evening into a social success. The class of ’31, during their Freshmen year, contributed valuable material to all athletic teams and was adequately represented on the honor roll. Our Sophomore year was a success in every way. The scholastic standing of our class was of the highest and our athletes were making a name for themselves in the various branches of athletic endeavor. This class is credited with giving the first party to help their sister class, the Seniors, earn money to go to Washington. The officers who served this year were: Presidents, Harry Redington Clifford Doloway; vice presidents, Leonard Eley and Martin Painter; secretaries, Beatrice Berg, Martha Dwyer: treasurer Eva Nordstrom. Miss Griffy was our class advisor. The Sophomore “Finals” brought us to the half-way mark in our high school education. Our Juiuor year was a year of busy times and pleasant happenings. The f'rst big event was the Freshman Reception. The evening began with
