Lumbering Scene A common scene in this section, when the dense forests were cleared off by the lumbermen. Ucst IDc forget We have set aside these following few pages in order to bring to you messages from a few members of the Alumni. How nice it would be if the friendships acquired in school could go on forever, but soon we drift apart, each going his own separate way, remembering the other's perhaps only as he glances back through “The Tiger Lily.” Let us try to keep these friendships alive by letters and many remembrances of one another. 1 hope this corner in “The Tiger Lily” will always be kept open for messages from the graduates of P. A. H. S. Here’s success to every one of the class of ’33.

(Elje ILtger jBiilg (Dm principal, ittr. IiariHj For three years Port Allegany High School has been capably led by Mr. Hardy, supervising principal of our school. Under his guidance several important changes have been made in the curriculum, which have aided the school in many ways and have given Port Allegany the honor of being among the list of accredited secondary schools of Pennsylvania, of which there are only three in McKean County,—Bradford, Kane and Port Allegany. Professor Hardy was born in Susquehanna County, Penna., and attended high school at Nicholson, Penna. He has spent approximately six years at college, attending the following schools: Wyoming Seminary, Mansfield State Teachers College, Bucknell University and Penn State. Before coming to Port Allegany, Mr. Hardy spent two years teaching in a rural school and twelve as a high school principal. Since coming here, he has ably filled his position, as well as won the respect of all with whom he has come in contact. The three graduating classes during his instruction in Port Allegany will vouch for the fact that he has aided them in many ways in all their class activities. Mr. Hardy takes much interest in all school activities, including scholastic, athletic, dramatic and literary pursuits and social affairs. In fact, Mr. Hardy is an ardent booster of P. A. H. S., and with him as our leader we cannot help but maintain and even raise the standard that has been established in the last few years. National Innumiru j ortety The high school wishes through this issue of The Tiger Lily to congratulate the seniors who attained the honor of admittance to the National Honorary Society. They are: Robert Barnett, Lawrence Bou-don, Bertha Evans, Iver Johnson, Ruth Langworthy and Jean Scherer. Each year from the upper portion of the senior class certain members who possess striking qualities in scholastic ability, leadership, character and service to the school are chosen. We feel sure that these people fully deserve the honor and distinction they have received.

(Tlic (iiyer iCihj Voices front tfjc Slumnt I am sure it -willpay well to read these.” To the Editor of The Tiger Lily: A matter which has always interested me, both as a university student and as a college teacher, and which should be a quite pertinent one to those members of the Class of ’33 who plan to continue their education at university or college is that of the value of the college education to the individual. I want especially to consider this with respect to the Port Allegany High School graduate for in this my readers and I have a common interest. Limited space necessitates a briefer treatment than this subject deserves; the most I can hope to do is to submit a few impressions acquired thru my own experiences and thru those of others with whom I have talked. I believe that there are four main values to be derived from the years spent at the college or university: the development of resourcefulness and independence, the broadening intellectually thru contacts with other persons, the information obtained from studying courses, and training in thinking. The degree to which these effects manifest varies with the institution and even more with the individual. Probably one of the first intimations of the different life he is setting out upon which makes itself felt is the realization of the young college fresh- man that he is on his own, so to speak. This is especially true of the student who goes to the large city university. Matters with which he has previously concerned himself but little come to require his thought and care. From the first he must make decisions: where to room, where to eat, how to get about the city, how to shop, what courses to take, and under what teachers to take them. These are only a few of the great number of decisions he must learn to make, and upon his capacity to cope with such problems satisfactorily will depend to a large extent his ability to get along in the university and in the world. For thru-out life one must be able to meet and solve successfully unexpected situations which are constantly arising. Contacts made at school are often rated very highly by the one who would evaluate the college education. Acquaintances are made in classrooms, in living quarters, and at society meetings, and many of these develop into real friendships. With few exceptions contacts with teachers are limited to the classroom. It is certainly true that the friendships developed at college are among the finest and most enjoyable results of the years away at school, not only as an end in themselves but also as a means of education. There is nothing which broadens one intellectually more than the exchange of ideas and points of
