The magnificence of our new building awed us. Well we remember that first day of getting acquainted with pupils, teachers, and even with the building itself, for you see, this was UNION High and the four classes of Girard and North Girard were united. Already we were looking forward to our trip to Washington, D. C. at the end of our Senior year. The Seniors gave us the privilege of selling candy every other month. We found that there was good proht in this. One of the greatest activities of the year was the Junior play, Tea for Tom . This was given at the end of the school year and was considered a great success by all. Feeling that this would be the last opportunity for us to do anything for the Senior Class we gave them a banquet and dance held in the school building. This was the last social activity of the year. On September 6, 1928 we entered school as Seniors. We all realized the work that was before us. That first morning it was a group of dignified Seniors who entered assembly. During the half year that we had attended Union High we had become attached to it, and on this morning it seemed perfectly natural for us to be back again. There were a few new faces among the pupils and only two of our former teachers were with us. This year something altogether new was offered usg a Commercial Course and a Course in Home Making. These classes were soon filled and a few were disappointed because they came to enroll a little too late. There were Hfty four enrolled in the Senior Class. We were unfortunate to lose four of our members before the year was over. Before the first week of school had passed we had a class meeting to decide upon our class motto, colors, and flower. This was to be our big year. We began at once to make plans for a class play. The tryfouts for the parts were held and two casts were chosen as we planned to present the play two evenings. The Mummy and the Mumpsl' was a great success and the production was highly complimented. One proposition that we hoped to gain a profit on was the sponsoring of the Searthmore Chautauqua. The Chautauqua came to us three days in February. As usual their programs were of the finest quality and all who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It wasn't until january that we started to plan for a year book. No class before had ever had a year book and we felt that a school of our size ought to publish some sort of record of the yearls work. A staff was chosen and they commenced work at once. For the name of our year book we thought the Latin word Unitas , meaning unity, would be most fitting. And then the time of Commencement drew near. The faculty chose four speakers. The class chose four more to give the prophecies and donors. The question was discussed about wearing caps and gowns for the graduation exercises. The majority of the class voted for it. These were about the last of the important questions that were brought before the class. In the future years we hope that every member of the class of '29 will look back upon his high school days as the best days of his lifeg and may -the words of our school song ever be ringing in his ears: O Hail Union High School, We love you, yes, we do.

C X A JUN iOR5 The Log of Crew Number 1930 of the Good Ship Union PERSONNEL OF THE CREW IN 1929 Captain ..... .... E llen Wolfe First Mate .... .... I olm Smith Secretary ,... .... D orma Richardson Treasurer ........... Leland Battles And a crew of hftyfseven worthy sailors. On a dismal, depressing day in September of 1926 two groups of inexperienced, trembling, mariners-cast off from their old associations and the safe and quiet harbor of grammar school- entered the perilous and unchartered waters of higher learning in two small ships, The Battles and 'LThe Girard Township . The two cringing, fearful groups of novices were cast into the galleys by the supreme will of the calloused powersfthat fwere, where we remained, the butt of all jokes, the bearer of all burdens, for over a year. At this time, after much delay, a great deal of diplomatic parley and exchange of views, the two small, wornout ships were exchanged for one large, seaworthy, mammoth, The Union , which continued on our former, now triumphant, course. The crew was strengthend and incited to higher endeavors than ever before by the magnificence of the new craft and the new friend- ships formed with the other crew. For most of the crew entered the new life with eager expectation, a few with fear and trepidation. But after a few short weeks all hands joined in shouting the praises of the ship L'Union , proclaiming it as many times hner than either old one, no matter how much we loved the old crafts. In the second year of our journey we were allowed to come on deck and breathe once again the clear fresh air of freedom from fear Cand, incidentally, to scrub the decks for the older, wiser, sailorsj We are now completing the third year of our apprenticeship, but one must not imagine that our three years before the mast have been as dull as this account would indicate for the crew showed themselves a ine time, they feted themselves to a number of parties and a sleighride Cstrange proceedings for shipfboard, but why mention thatb. To raise money the sailors held a food sale and a benefit movie and also gathered old papers and magazines which they sold to the junk dealer. As we near the end of the third year of our struggle, we all feel that we have really attained something, however vague and although we still have a long, hard, path before us, we are thankful that more than half, the unknown, strange, fearful, half of our Odessy is completed and sad that more than half the unparalleled joys are past. Now we must prepare for the last year of our cruise, prepare to finish our journey with colors flying, cannons booming and the cheers of our friends ringing in our ears, when we also, as the others before us, enter the world next spring, fresh from our everftofbefremembered sea voyage, the happiest cruise of anyones life-schoolfdays.

If you had been watching us closely you would have observed that we all held our heads somewhat higher than becomes an ordinary Freshman. But what cared we? Were we not the first Freshman Class in Union High School? Most assuredly we were and we strutted around accordingly. In a few days, however, the hard hearted Sophomores and upper classmen had us convinced that we were but the greenest of green freshmen. We at last got used to the routine in Union and settled down to Cworkjfsome of us. Then some of the more serious minded students happened to think that without an organized class we Freshmen would appear to be just about as green as they make them, which is very, very green. Accordingly our class held a meeting which was superintended by Miss Goodman and Miss Bell. Wesley Burr was elected president of the Frosh, the inimitable Art Kunz vicefpresident, jolly Jeanette Tomes secretary, and easy going Dan Deliman treasurer. The class then voted Miss Bell and Miss Goodman Faculty Advisors. As we were intent on making good in our first year in Union we spent the remaining four months in trying to procure good or fair marks. While we were thus engaged we absolutely forgot about sponsoring any social events with the result that when we began to plan for a party it was too late. However, when the Juniors banqueted the Seniors the Sophs and Frosh were invited to the dance after the banquet. At last the year was nearly over. Groups of Freshmen boys could be seen conversing among themselves with stern looks spreading over their faces. And it is to be feared that at this time the thoughts of these boys were far from thoughts of moving from the lowly Freshman Class to the next stage. Indeed, as much as I regret to mention it, our souls were hlled with black treachery. Base, black, thoughts filtered through our minds and predominated our thoughts of summer, swimming and good times. Maybe if I tell you that whenever our black, accusing eyes rested on prospective Freshmen of the coming year we felt, oh! so much better when we thought and gloated over happenings of the coming year. For would we not be experienced Sophomores in charge of administering the proper and fitting ceremonials to the incoming Greenies? This is what we had waited forg prayed for, laid plans for. Then the close of school and these harsh, cruel thoughts departed from our minds while we worked, played or did both during the enjoyable summer. Then again came the opening of school, this time in the early fall instead of midfwinter. And as a half year before, a group of young people marched into their class rooms. But this time a very noticeable difference was apparent in the bearings of the different people. It was an older, more learned difference that was noticeable. For now, oh! glorious thoughtg we were full fledged Sophomores. We reveled in our new powers and distinctions, Cwhich were fewb. Once again bleak, black thoughts crept into our heads whenever our gaze rested on an innocent, green Fresh' man. Then, for a second time our plots and plans were upset, for football claimed the attentions of some of our numbers and then, too, our thoughts turned to a reorganization of the class. By this time we had become accustomed to the new teachers and held a meeting for the purpose of reorganizing. At this meeting Art Kunz was elected President, Caroline Kimmel, Vice President, Gertrude Ford, Secretary and James Bonnett, Treasurer. A social committee was then appointed and a party was planned for Halloween. We held this at the B'nai B'rith Home and we all had a hilarious time. After this we again settled down to our duties. Basketball season then arrived and some of our boys and girls went out for the Varsity while a Sophomore Class Team was organized in accordance with a Class League formed in school. This Class Team did quite well in the League even though it did finish in third place. They plugged right through and enabled the Seniors to play a tiefoif with the juniors by defeating the Juniors decisively. Then came Christmas Time. The Social Committee through a Christmas Party would be altogether fitting and proper so they put it up to the class who agreed. Accordingly we had another gay party at Blairs. After this, things rolled quite smoothly. Winter passed and spring came with baseball and other spring sports. The Sophomores decided on a last party which was held at the lake and was attended by the Class, Miss O'Leary and Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. We then started plugging for the Hnals and are looking forward to our junior year with happiness in our hearts. Page 'TwentyfE1gl1t Page TwentyfNi'ne SOPHOMORES Ely Manufacturing Co. GIRARD, PA.

Of this number that left school two moved away and Eve of the other six were from the district schools of the township. We were very sorry to lose so many boys and girls during our first year at Union High and it is now our aim that those who remain may continue through to graduation. Early in the fall we elected the following class officers: president, Paul Laughreyg vice president, Alice Daggettg secretary and treasurer, Catherine McCarty. We organized a boy's and girl's basketball team and although our standing at the close of the interfclass games was not just what we wanted there is still time to win. The most outstanding thing accomplished by any of the members of the clss was the work done by the freshman homefmaking girls. We have to thank them for serving us in the cafeteria, and for their assistance in helping to make other parties successful. As you will see our activities have not been extensive but we have learned to be loyal and to work together.

'LSure, I wouldn't miss that for anything, would be the answer. It was a Banquet and Prom where every one enjoyed themselves. Tables were stretched through the upper hall. Everything was decorated in Green and White, the colors of both the Junior and Senior classes. Girls in pretty dresses of pastel shades flashed here and there. Boys looking very immaculate in suits of dark and light colors dashed after them. Every one seemed to have a good time. After every one had enjoyed a wonderful dinner they adjourned to the gym where Morgan's Orchestra had been engaged to furnish the music for the dance program. It was a perfect evening for everybody. Marred perhaps for the Seniors of 1928, only by the thought that it was in the nature of a farewell to their school day friends and DEAR OLD UNION HIGH. Doius Tomas. KQLJL9' vgv Girl Reserve Spring Dance and Gard Party If you braved the rain and ventured out to Union High on the evening of April 12, 1929, you can readily understand why we have voted the Girl Reserve Spring Dance and Gard Party a huge success. Gard tables were placed in the sewing room where all who cared to could play cardsg while the gym was decorated very prettily in pink and yellow, these colors fitting in with the spring atmosphere. Music was furnished by jack Davies orchestra of West Millcreek. Refreshments were served. At last when the time came to depart, every one declared that Union High wasn't such a dull place after all. The girls certainly deserved all the credit they received for their work in helping every one to enjoy himself. ' Domus Tomas. Page 'Thirty'Nine l WHAT WOULD LINCOLN SAY IF HE SAW THIS? Four score and seven years ago our mothers brought us to this high school, conceived in conceit and dedicated to the proposition that if equals are added to equals the sums are equal. We are now engaged in a great examination to test whether we or any other senior can graduate. We are met in 'I '29 . We are met to dedicate the waste baskets as a final resting place for those sticks of gum which here gave their lives that we might pester our teachers. It is altogether sticking and proper that we shouldnlt do this. But in a large scent we cannot concentrate, we cannot hollow these waste baskets. The reeking gum Spearmint , and juicy Fruitll, have scented these far above our meager powers to add, subtract, or divide. The janitors will greatly note and long remember what we chewed here, nor will they ever forget that which we put under the seats. It is for us the sleeping, rather, to be, concentrated here to the unfinished work which they who chewed here thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be annihilated from the great task remaining under us-that from these unscented sticks we take increased effort to the cause for which they gave their last full measure of flavor-that we here highly dissolve that those chewed shall not have been chewed in pain-that this school under Mr. Sayre shall have a new drinking fountain so the government of the pupils, by the pupils, for the pupils, shall not perish for thirst. BLUE BOOKS REVEAL ASTOUNDING FACTS OF INSIDE INFORMATION Did you know that Buffalo Bill, Howard Taft, and the new Ford were considered Rough Riders, that Beowulf was a German art student, that pastoral poetry is poetry written about the rural part of a city, that the Decoverly Papers were printed in 1911f1912, that the battle of Harpers' Ferry was fought during the Revolutionary War, the new Lincoln is the bigger and better car? Neither did we, but these are statements gleaned from recent examination papers. WHY BE BLUE? Why are you blue, When things go wrong with you? Why don't you make others glad By yourself being happy, not sad. It will only give others pain If you have them think it will always rain, When you are sad Just make believe you're glad.

Our teams had won the championship for two straight years and we hoped to do the trick again. The team was hard struck by the graduation of Burke, Benton, Daggett, Riley and Morgaii, but six lettermen were back, Koehler, Foye, Payne, Miller, Groff and Ford. Coach Von Neida was very enthused over the material that reported for the Hrst practice. The squad was soon cut to the most likely looking candidates. A combination was rounded out for the first game with Conneautville. Union easily outclassed them and won 37f1O. It wasn't even a good practice game. There were a great many faults to be corrected in the following practices and when they opened the league schedule at North East it was a vastly improved tema that went on the floor. It was a close game, and overtime period being necessary to decide the game in Union's favor. Union defeated Albion, our great rivals, in a keenly contested battle. Koehler was high scorer for Union with 12 points. Mortoii was next in line with 9 points. The final score was 28f26. Mortoii was ineligible after the first semester, having completed his eight semesters of high school work. During the Corry game Koehler was injured and was out of the line up for three weeks. The loss of these two players was a hard blow to the team and games were lost to West Millcreek and Corry. Koehler was back in a suit for the Albion game but he was still weak. Albion is a hard team to beat on their home floor and they won 17f23. I Another game Union was out to win was with West Millcreek. They defeated us on their own floor but we were out for revenge. At the half the score was 23f7 in Union's favor. Union continued their stifling play in the last half and the game ended 27f31 in Union's favor. The season just closed was very successful. The team captured second place in the league, losing but three games in the league. Twentyffive games were played, one lost and sixteen won for an average of 640. Union outscored their opponents from the field and foul line. Andrews, our freshman star, was high scorer with 168 points.

To build up a Team around Captain Foye from this green material seemed quite a problem for Whitey. However after summing up our season's total we are quite satisfied. In athletics, as in every other contest of life, to accept the results, whether victory or defeat, in true sportsmanlike spirit shows real manhood. We hope to do bigger and better things in athletics in the coming year. Union High opened their season against Fairview. It was the first game for the new men and some of them were a bit nervous. 'ijimmyn Andrews, playing his first game for Union, reeled off a 60 yard run for a touchfdown. ln the fourth quarter Jacobson punted from the thirty yard line. The ball hit the top of the goal post and the upright toppled to the ground. Score: Union 30-Fairview 12. A The next game was with Cathedral Prep of Erie. Father Conway's highly touted Irishmen found the sledding a bit rough and Union tied them 6 to 6. Figula, Prep man intercepted a pass and ran 45 yards for a touchfdown. Union 6-Cathedral 6. Kanty proved to be too heavy and experienced for us and gave us our worst beating of the year. The two teams battled on practically even terms until L'Jakey was forced out of the game in the last quarter due to an injury and Kanty put over two touchdowns. Score: Union 6-Kanty Hi 27. Albion got a lucky break in the second quarter which netted them a touchdown and beat us. It was a great game and we can assure you that the boys from Albion knew they had been in a football game. Koehler received injuries in this game which kept him out for the remainder of the season. Score: Union 0-Albion 6. Union got the breaks against Union City High and we won. l think that the touchdown was the queerest of any that I ever saw. Foye made a beautiful pass to Andrews but it was intercepted and knocked down by a Union City man. Miller, who was running interference for Andrews, caught the ball before it touched the ground and fell on it. When the scramble was untangled the ball was over the goal line. Captain Foye tore the muscles in his left arm so badly that he was out for the rest of the season also. Union 7-Union City O. East High defeated Union in the next game at Erie. With Foye and Koehler on the bench and Jacobson playing with a badly injured leg it was small wonder that we were beaten. Union 6--East High 19. Union lost to Erie Central in a sea of mud at Athletic Field the next game. The game was played under the worst kind of handicaps, a wet Cand I mean wetj field, cold g and at bad wind. The breaks were in favor of Central and they took advantage of them. Both Central touchdowns came as the result of recovered fumbles. Score: A Union O-Central 13. , ' a The Union seconds wound up the season by battling the West Mill Creek Varsity to a scoreless tie. Five Yard Fox, the fifth of the famous four Horsemen, played a great game at fullback for the Seconds. Score: Union O-West Mill Creek O.

Not only the players but the whole school is puffed up over it. The girl's trophy serves as a mate to the one the boys won last year. The girls started out at a fast pace, winning eight straight games. Through an error they were defeated by Union City. After the second Albion game things began to look as though it were no use. However the girls kept up the spirit and no more games were lost, Then came the bomb during the Easter vacationk'Albion and Union were tied for first place. Union High given the chance to have another tilt with Albion, did not throw it away. The result was that Albion went home April 8, weeping and disappointed team. ,lean Larson, as captain led Unions' team onthe floor 24 times only to be defeated four times. Coach Jennings and Manager Hassler deserve a lot of credit for the success of the team. The anticipation for next year is high. The team is losing but three lettermen. jean Larson, Mildred Smith and Ruth Teudhope. It is true they will be missed but we cannot claim them but for four years. The girls are getting sweaters this year the same as last. Ten of the players will receive letters for participating in forty percent of the games.

E Class League This year at Union a class basketball league was introduced. Athletic director Mr. Von Neida arranged for all games and refereed. Much interest was shown by the four class teams. Each team played the other three times, making a total of nine games for each class. After the first few contests, it looked as though the title would be settled between the Juniors and Seniors. Then the Freshmen toppled the upper classmen. Things looked pretty dark for the Big Boys until the Sophomores trounced the Juniors. That placed the Juniors and Seniors in a tie for the title. The game to decide the championship was played on Wednesday evening, April tenth. The game started off at a fast pace. The Seniors made the Hrst score on a foul. From then on the upper classmen had things pretty much their own way, the final score being eighteen to fourteen. The following members of the winning team received medals for playing in forty per cent of the games: Michael Chesko, Manager and forward, Roger Morgan, forward, Fredrick Daggett, forward, Stenec Groff, centerg John Bonnett, center, George Hassler, guard, Richard Clisby, guard.

I sincerely think it was beneficial-and being beneiicialawas Z1 success. At first the Course was hard, we thought we were going to dislike it. Naturally it was a difficult matter, we were just starting High School, and as such a student has to adjust herself. The subjects taught this year were: Sewing, Cooking, Art, General Science, Home Nursing and Textiles. In Sewing, making our uniforms for Cooking class was our first project. Some other things we made were slips, French pants, and our last problem was a dress. Sewing, we found out, is more than threading a needle, and sewing a few stitches in a piece of cloth. A dress doesn't go together by itself, either. Cooking, in my opinion, was the simplest of all subjects. We learned how to make hot breads, cakes, doughnuts, pies, soups, croquetts, how to prepare meats, and many other delicious foods. We were taught to keep our desks, drawers, stoves, and tops of our desks in excellent condition and always be neat and clean while cooking. Art was another fascinating subject. We painted shoeftrees and coatfhangers and were taught to paint designs on them. At Christmas time we sewed and stuffed cats. These were very attractive. After Christmas we took the colored paper on the inside of envelopes and pasted 'them on match boxes, boxes, cans, and everything that would be attractive and shellaced them. Italian Hemstiching we made next. This is very beautiful work. - In General Science we learned about trees, the solar system, automobiles, airplanes, communicable diseases, the land surface, camera and many other things. I'IomefNursing was a subject that the majority of the students liked. We were taught to bandage, about Health, the care of a baby, etc. In Textiles, we learned about different fabrics, their history, how the fiber grew, what they looked like under the microscope and all about them. The Cooking, or Home Economics Class was divided into two sections, called the Morning Class and the Afternoon Class. The Morning class, of course was composed of students taking Home Economics: the Afternoon Class-vice versa. Ccontinued on next pagel Page SixtyfOne HOME ECONCMICS Cconrimwdl The Afternoon Class served their mothers and their friends Afternoon Tea. Before tea was served several girls explained the project she contemplated taking. Then tea was served. And what a tea! Two girls acted as pourers Cthere were two beverages, cocoa and teal and the other girls served. Sandwiches, cakes, cookies and candy were served. Later the Morning Class gave a dinner for the School Board and their wives. The girls worked hard and the dinnerishowed it. Everybody said it was splendid. just look at the menu! Fruit Cocktail, Crackers, Chicken Bullion, Creamed Potatoes, Meat Loaf, Emerald Salad, Buttered Carrots and Peas, Hot Rolls, Butter, Tapioca Cream, Sunshine Cake, Shamrock Cookies. Still later, after our girls became the County Basketball Champions, the Afternoon Class gave them a banquet. Twenty people were served. This was also voted a huge success. In order that we might pass this Course we had to do a project. That is doing something that would help our mothers. We had our choice of the following: dusting, taking care of smaller brothers and sisters Cif we had anyj, redecorating a room, washing, ironing, and taking care of our clothes, taking care of our room, cooking, making clothing, washing dishes and other things. We had to do one of these things for thirty hours. When we were Hnished we had to write up our project, have a photograph of ourselves doing our project, our mothers and teachers opinion of these, it was sent to Harrisburg. Some of us girls, when we started this Course, had never sewed or cooked or painted or had anything about Textiles or Homefnursing before. Now we can bake, sew, bandage a hurt Enger, or make an arm bandage for a broken colorbone. We can tell the difference between fabrics and we can give the History of most of the fabrics. Personally I think that the Course has been a success and I know more than one girl it has been beneficial to. And our teacher, Miss Hitchcock, who has been so patient with us dumb girls! How can we thank her for helping us so greatly? Miss Hitchcock, we are sorry to say Goodfbye, but as you are not coming back next year, we shall have to. CATH1zRiNE MCCARTY.

Page SeventyfEight THE GIRL FRIEND Her eyes are brown as pumpkin pie, Her figure-it is slim, Her look, oh boy, it surely is sly Shels always full of vim. She sings a line contralto When I hum or play a tune, And she can dance well, also, For a company crowded room. Now I know many another girl As steadys they're all down, I'll choose instead of the best of 'em That friendly little brown. ME By Ima Sap I think that I shall never see A boy as wonderful as me. A boy whose eyes are very brown A boy who never has to frown. A boy that girls just love to see- There is nothing wrong with me. A boy that has the nicest hair- It's plastered down with goo I wear Others look like fools, I see, But none could look as nice as me. My address, Mr. Roger Morgan, Girard, Pa. THE VILLAGE GARD'NER Under the sprawling walnut tree The village gard'ner standsg And O, what a runt of a guy is he, With short and stubby hands. And the cords in his scrawny arms Hang out like rubber bands. His hair is tough, and white, and short- His map is like a pang His feet are wet with dishonest sweat No matter how he stands, And he looks nobody in the face, For he owes most every man. Page SeventyfNine NMCDERN SCIENTIFIC DEFINITIONS. Hotel-A place where a guest often gives up good dollars for four quarters. House Cleaning-A domestic upheaval that makes it easy for the government to enlist all the soldiers it needs. ' Hug -A roundabout way of expressing affection. Kiss!--Nothing divided by two. Lie--A very poor substitute for the truth, but the only one discovered upftofdate. Mitten-Something a tender hearted girl gives a young man when she knows she is going to make it chilly for him. Pin-The best dresser in woman's acquaintanceg of remarkable penetration and true as steel, seldom loses its head, follows its own bent, and carries its points in whatever it underf takes.
