THE TIGER LILY Senior Class History It seems like only yesterday when we eighty-two members were the leading class of the junior high school. We were very proud of ourselves for we had ten membei’s on the football team, one on the boys’ basketball team, one on the girls’ basketball team, and fourteen pupils in the orchestra and glee club. At our first class meeting we elected Donald Anderson, President; Robert Healy, Vice President; Bernadette Glass, Secretary; and Jane Boudon, Treasurer. We chose “We take it as it comes” as our class motto, blue and gold as our colors, and the chrysanthemum as our class flowei’. During that year we had two good class parties and then just waited until we could call ourselves sophomoi'es. Seventy-five members a little timidly walked into the high school in September, 1934, and took their punishment. We elected Robert Boudon, President; Earl Dolaway, Vice President; Mary Rossette, Secretary; and Bernadette Glass, Treasurer, at our first class meeting. Our largest responsibility in our sophomore year was the sponsoring of the Sophomore Hop on May 3, 1935. We placed twelve members on the football team, seven on the boys’ basketball team, and five on the girls’ basketball squad. In our junior year we elected the following officers: President, Robert Heaiy; Vice President, Earl Dolaway; Secretary, Alene Gustafson; Treasurer, Robert Boudon. The first semester was quiet and uneventful, the only excitement being the purchasing and wearing of our class rings. At the beginning of the second semester, plans were made for a prom in honor of the seniors. On May 1, we gave this event in the high school gymnasium, which was very beautifully decorated in the seniors’ class colors, maroon and white. Having reached our goal, as seniors, we were in the position to initiate the “Baby” Class of the high school. We placed them under severe tests, and after that treated them kindly by giving them a dance and refreshments. The Alumni Banquet was of more interest to us this year, as we attended as guests of honor. About fifteen of us enjoyed this Christmas dinner-dance which was held in the Masonic Hall and Weinman Hall. During the year, many dances, a bazaar, a raffie, and a campaign for selling magazines were sponsored by the ambitious seniors. This year our officers include President, Robert Boudon, Vice President, Robert Healy; Secretary, Jean Mangold; and Treasurer, Floyd Card. 1'age I!)

THE TIGER LILY During our last year we placerl more members on the various athletic teams than ever before. Earl Dolawaj was a worthy football captain and many good athletes from our class have fought for the school and showed the good old P. A. H. S. qualities. We, as seniors, wish to thank the faculty, who have led us through A View of the E One bright Mars morning, Vic Sherwood and I decided to take a look at Mother Earth from Mars. Vic and I, you know, flew up to Mars in our improved rocket-ship. But let us get back to our history and look at the earth from the observatory. As we glance over New York, we see a number of skyscrapers. We pick out a special one and gaze inside. Here we discern Alene Gustafson and Gus Berlowitz lustily pounding on some typewriters. As we start to shift our telescope some gilt lettering on the door catches our eye. “Donald Anderson, District Attorney”. The D A’s are appropriate. Our next shift is to a hospital where Quentin Brady, the engineer who dropped a pint of nitro glycerine on his toe, is resting. He is being attended by Doctor Clifford Brown and Nurses Dorothy Dunn and Bernie Glass. Some fellows have all the luck! Shifting back to business New York we locate another office building where Chet Hovis, the business executive, who spends his spare time selling cows, has an office. His de- these three years, for their willing cooperation and advice which we have greatly appreciated. We feel as though we have done our best to uphold the traditions and high standards of our Alma Mater, and we are positive that the underclassmen will do as well as we have done if they “Take it as it comes.” arth from Mars pendable private secretary is Laura Mae McFarland. A large newspaper office catches our eye, and here we see Jean Mangold as editor, with Dolly Long as circulation manager, and Nellie Me-Elwee in charge of the humor of the paper. We also find a few typewriter pounders; namely, Lillian Nelson, and two Irish lassies, Alice and Catherine Murphy. Another shift of the telescope, and we are gazing in the interior of the Congressional Library, where Jane Boiler and Betty Robbins are chief librarians. We move to the factory of our rivals, James Curtis, James McMahon, and Glenn Klein. These fellows have just completed the making of another type of rocket ship. There is a rumor that Pilot Jack Holcomb, who has the record for a non-stop-round-the-world flight, is to guide the ship. We find Port Allegany and take a look at P. A. H. S., where we see that Harold Nordstrom has taken the place of Professor Bates, who is now Page 20
