Mary Roman Emma Mahler William Wechtenhiser T he SHADONIAN Slmdds Honor Roll God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose, Take which you please- you can never have hoth, Between these, as a pendulum, man oscillates. He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets-most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputationg but he shuts the door of truth. He in whom the love of truth predominates will keep himself aloof from all moorings, and afloat. He will ahstain from dogmatism, and recognize all the oppo- site negations hetween which, as walls, his heing is swung. He submits to the inconvenience of suspense and imperfect opinion, but he is a candidate for truth, as the other is not, and respects the highest law of his being. INTELLECT'by RALPH WALDO EMERSON ..., v------- - . C Andrew Plasay Alice Palancs Thomas Shearon Edith Shaw Alice Cassidy Genevieve Muro Louis Vidmar Pauline Zayac Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning pre- ponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses his halance, puts him among his equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion. hy RALPH WALDO EMERSON l28l ii . 4:9 ...Q -, R.. , . 1 51: ' -v .1 U! 0' u o 3 -, , l f ' z.

te SHADONIAN SENIOR SUDS Seniors See The Sights in Annual Somerset Trip For the first time this year the seniors had a chance to let down their hair. For one day they did not impress the freshman or depress their teachers. The time to be off for Somerset was 8:30, but as usual they didn't get started until 9:00. Everyone climbed on the busses and there was a mad scramble for sears-a few landing on the floor. The first stop was Walker's Ice Cream Factory. Here a special group received ice cream sandwiches. The rest wandered around in a refrigerator for fifteen minutes and went out the wrong door. Were they disappointed! The group having been rounded up, set off for the county jail. Here a deputy sheriff showed the students the cells for prisoners. He couldn't be persuaded to keep any students. With a few minutes to go the seniors rushed over to the court house to hear a case before noon. When court was dismissed the seniors were introduced to the judge who gave a very interesting speech. He instructed Mr. Ivan Lambert to take the group to a hotel and buy them their dinner at his expense, but the students declined. At dinner the Irish showed their true colors by order- ing Irish stew. John Sobieski certainly didn't enjoy the shower bath Edith Shaw gave him at ShaHer's. It seems Edith was trying to find the hole in the lid of a bottle of chocolate milk. Since she cou1dn't find any she made one. Swousel-Chocolate milk sprayed out in all direc- tions. Napkins were used as mops and most of the chocolate milk was removed from John's hair and sweater. After lunch they made a tour of the county home. Upon leaving, Pete Gaydos said to Betty Shedlock, You can let go now, I'm not afraid anymore. Chris Takes the Cake Did you hear the refrain of Happy Birthday during the seventh period of a certain school day in December? Did you know what it was all about? It seems that a few were wise but the majority were not. The Physics class was honoring Chris Serino by throwing a post-birthday party. Chris not only acted as honor guest but also had his finger in the pie, should say cake, acting as host. Joan and Evelyn were pinch- hitters as hostesses and fellow-conspirators. Chris agreed to bring the cake only if the girls carried it in. With possible detection nagging at their heels they did manage to get away with it. Only one bribe was necessary--Mr. Statler had seen the cake sailing down the hall with the girls in hot pursuit. Using his nose for a scent he ferreted out the cake and then pledged his secrecy when promised a Hunk of it. Hiding the cake in the Lab they proceeded to the auditorium where certain ones were let in on the size as to height, width, and breadth. After a mouth-watering description of the luscious morsel it was a hard job to 01 ward off a concerted attack on the hiding place, even if they did plead only for a sneak-peek. Joan inveigled Jack Estep to buy lollipops and Evelyn induced Tom Burke to cash in for kisses Ccandy, of courseb. Although Mr. Swartzwelder had not been in- formed of it, he was to furnish the cokes. Curiosity got the better of some who went to the lab to see what they could. Much to the amusement of the class their eyes showed envy when they saw the choice morsel. They went so far as to try the coconut which lay unprotected on the top layer. When all was in readiness Chris went for the cokes CR. M. S. footing the billl while the girls tried to figure out the new-fangled cake cutter. R. M. S. proved of no help so Chris had to rake over. The largest helpings were naturally parceled out to the cutters. Entertainment was furnished by the then unknown, Mlle. Plasay. The singing of Happy Birthday led by R. M. S. was none too harmonious but expressed the genuine feel- ing of the class. Seniors Exchange Name Cards The seniors seem to find some excuse to have fun whether the occasion calls for it or not. This time it was the exchanging of name cards. The ninety students made uite a noise when gathered in one room. Room 8 acted as host to Room Il. The guests wound their way through the aisles presenting a name card, accept- ing one in return. Giggling and a general atmosphere of merriment prevailed. Shouts of Did I get your card? were heard above all the other noises. Hallowe'en Party High Success Whoever coined the phrase a howling success, must have foreseen the outcome of the Senior Hallowe'en Party. This was a party that not only the seniors at- tended, but everyone-from the freshmen up. Not only was the party praised by the students, but by many of the faculty members as well. Of course October 31 was the night and the high school auditorium, the place. Speaking of the audito- rium the seniors did an excellent job of giving it a right spooky effect. Every time one turned around either a ghost or a witch stared him in the face. Round and square dancing to the music of Sammy Andrews and his orchestra was the main feature of the evening. Mary C. Patterson and Pete Tremel were the lucky couple, winning the big Devil's Food cake in the cake-walk. The judges had a difficult time choosing the winners of the costume prizes, because of the many original and interesting costumes represented. They finally chose Marie Sebring, dressed in a red and white majorette outfit as the prettiest. George Bestvina attracted the judges' eyes by limping around on a cane as a tramp. He was awarded the prize for the funniest. Hazel Zug- rovich, dressed as a witch, was given the prize for being the ugliest.
