SENIDIQ CLASS HISTORY One warm September afternoon back in nineteen hundred and thirty five, twenty five bewildered little children marched into the grade school on Church Street, and for the first time they were going to school. The days passed quickly. for everything was so new to these youngsters that struggled through the simple things being taught them. Of course an occasional whim- per was heard because some of the little darlings had been naughty. Then in thirty six, we engaged Miss Tuttle, who guided us through another year safely. Next came Mrs. Shurtz, then Miss Robinson, who at times was forced to scold Port Allegany's future citizens. Our first big event, the Class of Forty Seven, marched into the Senior High School building for the fifth grade. In those days we were on top of the world, that is, until Miss Dunnigan decided differently. Then came the sixth grade which was ably managed by Mrs. Fleming. Seventh and eighth grades were spent by the majority in learning our lessons. Then in the ninth grade the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Seven was reinforced by the aggregation from Liberty Township School. In the absence of Mr. Lynch, Mr. Rathgeber presided over the group of ambitious young students who were hlled to the top with mischief. That long awaited day came. We the Class of Forty Seven marched into Senior High shouting, Make way, Seniors, we're coming through. Unfortunately. it didn't work out that way, for the once proud freshman class was now a green, sickly mess. When the Seniors got through with us, we thought we'd said our last words. No such luck. we survived and continued on, a broken-hearted group for the rest of the year. Our chief accomplishment for the year was a splendid Sophomore Hop. which everyone talked about afterwards. Next we were juniors. the in-between. Our only activity cen- tered around a well decorated gym, and happy couples promenading to the strains of johnny Grady and his master musicians. At last the awaited day came when we could go into Senior High as the Big Wheels. It came and now it is only a memory. Initiation was successful as usual, the Seniors then marched to face all the prob- lems that were presented to them by the faculty. The Senior Play was a great success and will be talked about for some time to come. The class pictures came back and Seniors saw themselves as others see them. Mid-terms rolled around. After consider- able puzzling, all of us made it. When spring came around we were guests of honor at the Hop and Prom. Commencement was here at last, diplomas were awarded, and the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Seven was ofiicially disbanded. Twelve years gone as a matter of minutes, and so, we the Class of Forty Seven, stepped into the world to seek our ways as promising citizens.

SENIDD CLAIIACFHEVEMENTS Every graduating class has accomplished some things that they can bc duly proud of. We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Seven, are going forth into the world at a time of uncertainty, but we feel confident that the work we did as a unit, will make us outstanding as individuals, too. Brieily, let us look back over the year and review our outstanding achievements. ln the ninth grade we were organized by Mr. Rathgeber. We worked well as a unit. and one event, the Freshman Frolic, showed us that we were capable of overcoming ob- stacles. As Sophomores in high school, we all managed to live through the annual ordeal of hazing. We again made spite of wartime shortages. In our Junior year We the nicest Proms ever held. come forward eleven years Shall we say that the a showing their senior year a showing, as the Sophomore Hop was a great success in held up the torch again by presenting to the school one of At becoming Seniors, we marveled at the thought of having and at last we were on top. Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Seven made as fine as any class that graduated from Port High. We carried out our magazine compaign with increased subscriptionsg the Senior Play was an excellent production: the boys in the class displayed fine form in athletic contests. Lastly. through great efforts, we believe we edited a yearbook to remember. Now that we are leaving, we shall not forget our faculty and principal, Mr. Hardy: for without their guidance and patience we would not have had opportunity to achieve our goal.
