S. was panic stricken, for news had reached its ears to the effect that 2241 wild, wild children were li about to stampede its stately halls. Its fears were realized and doubly increased on September 9, 1925, when shouts, cries, and what not were heard from the first to the third floors of its once quiet and dignified corridors. After our invasion, as soon as our courage permitted, we organized our class with Miss Mary Gearhart as Class Adviser, Clark Yocum as Presidentg Mary Lieb as Secretary, Thomas Trimble as Treasurer, Edward Fernsler as Reporter. Con- sidering their greenness, we did well under their leadership. Among the momentous events that marked our first year in High School, was a Masque Party, held in the Lobby on Friday, the 13th of November. Undaunted by a small date on the calendar, our social function was voted a rousing success by all. It was our honor in April to present the first exclusive Freshman Chapel in the history of S. H. S., and our talent was displayed in a striking manner. Our entrance the second year was crowned with equally as much enthusiasm as was our first. We lost no time in organizing into a strong and peppy body of Sophomores with Chester Goodman as Presidentg Clark Yocum as Vice Presidentg Mary Lieb as Secretary, Harold Florey as Treasurer, Fred Byrod as Class Re- porter. We elected executives at the same time whose duty it was to represent the various classes. December saw us proudly displaying our newly acquired class rings and pins, selected for us by Miss Gearhart and a Class Committee. We were back again in the Fall of 1927 only a few days before we organized into a united body. Our Junior Class Party can be called the crowning event on the class social calendar for it was on this occasion that the P. T. A. first served refreshments at any social gathering. Little did we dream of the true talent that our class possessed until we made our debut as actors and actresses in The Lucky Break, our class play. 3.

Q-:do THE TORCH sept 1 Those ofhcers who led us safely through our third term were: John Miller, President, Wm. Abrams, Vice Presidentg Elizabeth Wilson, Secretary, Harold Ao Florey, Treasurerg Fred Byrod, Reporter. ego Y We near the close of another year and pause to review the incidents along our 9 J, path. We claim no startling contributions to civilization, no feats of impossible 'Q' JL repetition, but we do claim a class whose record of worth-while achievements along :Ein 11 all worthy lines of high school activities need feel no qualms of shame when placed 1 'a by the record of even the most promising Senior class of the past. 'E' 'J3' We were leading the school, and a mis-step of ours might be fatal to our fol- gs JL lowersg yet with all our work we found time for fun, and the social functions of the ii year were characterized by the same old spirit of jollity that had been ours from 'L vo the beginning. so ull, The first notable event of the year was our class party. The program given UQ' O at this time was agreed by all as the cleverest ever presented. V V We must not neglect to mention our Thespians, for here we find true talent dis- QX Io played. The cast of the class play, The Call of the Banshee, most cleverly in- ,014 terpreted their roles in the intriguing and amusing production which they presented , in April. - W Events have followed in rapid succession. The Press Club, of which our class has the honor of forming, the School Times Staff, also newly founded this year, Debating Club, Aviation Club, French Club, Commercial Club, and our various o essay contests all claimed our spare moments and gave an outlet for our energies. - 0 fy Nor did we neglect our daily tasks, for our scholastic record, individually and col- F lectively, is one which few have surpassed. Our athletes have expended all their energies in making the high school sports . a success. Our contributions to football, basketball, baseball, track and girls' bas- ll ketball teams aided much in furthering the name of the school, especially our class basketball team which held the championship for four years. A 6 The close of our Sophomore year was saddened by the death of one of our M classmates, Mae Klase. Her irreproachable character, gentle disposition, and strong ll personality, made her beloved by all her fellow-students. These are the things which stand out perhaps most prominently. But the things which we are richest in, and which we carry away with us from Sunbury High into real life are a real spirit of fellowship within the class, and a desire to see our Alma Mater grow bigger and better. In the latter we have not given merely passive interest, but our works have borne it out. We have been earnest in our work and whole hearted in our play. We need not leave to puny words the record o of our achievements, for the fruits of the latter are most eloquent. o CP F ' - Q Class Motto: Not at the heights, but climbing.
