THE TIGER LILY at Cornell University. Mary Shevak is head of the home economics department and Winona Nelson is th ' gym instructor. We locate the State Pen, I mean Penn State, and find that Bob Boudon. the famous All American, has just signed a contract to coach the prison-ers’-scholars’ football team. More sports—Vic Johnson just bowled a 306 game; the last bal’ knocked a pin from one alley to another and took out six pins on the second alley. Vic is proclaimed the American Bowling Wonder. When most of the girls left P. A. H. S. they all had definite careers planned, but we notice that most of them are making very excellent housewives. We turn to a large broadcasting station and see Alberta Mattison giving an organ recital. A shift to the wide open spaces and we behold Charles McElwee punching cows. Ruth Leet, the woman who has travelled around the world in seven different ways, has stopped here on the ranch for a short visit. Thence to the Atlantic seaboard where we find the Woman’s Occupational Convention going strong. Among the people in prominence we notice Doris Tauscher, who is in charge of the meeting. Sparky Card, manager of the Hollywood Club in New York, does a little of the singing himself. Among his assistants are Alfred Knell and Earl Dolaway. Among the important members of the American Federation of Labor are Martin Caffo, Gail Chapin, and Jack Gilluly. These men as successors to John L. Lewis have carried on the work of their famous predecessor. In the Department of Agriculture, we find that David Ostrander, Art Klein, Charles Dudley, and Max Fessenden have control of the matters of that organization. Mars is not a bad country but we long to be back in the U. S. A., where we can more frequently drop in on some of our old P. A. H. S. friends. E. T. Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of Port Allegany High School, being sound of body and sane of mind, at least in our own opinion, do solemnly declare this document to be our last will and testament before departing from a life of easy-come, easy-go at P. A. H. S. Therefore, according to the will drawn up on March 21, 1937, we hereby bestow the following virtues or vices upon the below named parties: To the underclassmen, new stage furniture. To the teachers, most sincere thanks for their hopeless efforts to graduate us all with a B plus average. Alene Gustafson will give Bob Townsend to anyone who can claim dimples as deep as hers.

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
