Incited by the daring of the higher tribes we gathered occasionally fOr Revels known as Parties and even went so far at intervals as to break rules. Although the boys were quite shy, they soon were in the SVOQVC and our parties were successful. These good times we owe to the assist- ance of Miss Byers and Mr. Stark, rulers who were kindly disposed .and soon became of much assistance in guiding us and supplying provisions Without serious catastrophe, we came to the end of our first year. At for our minds. the beginning of the second year, we advanced and took possession of thf- stronglrolds of the Sophomores. This was the year which started off with a bang. To protect our interests and to lead us on to greater achievements we elected as class officers, james Bowden, Theodore Surmacz, and William Kellner, as president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer respect- ively. We knew we had to take Latin II, but we wanted to be contrary and to refuse to take it. We were privileged characters that year, our classes started at eight in the morning and continued until five in the afternoon. We enjoyed our office work, there always being about five of us in the offiice haviing a friendly fAne you kidding?J chat with Mr. Legorv. the chief ruler. Rebellions of small import arose occasionally such as the time when Mr. Shrock grabbed Kaul Hamel by the shirt and said, You're the ring leader. Karl meeklv nodded his reply. Heavy taxes were imposed by lessons and welie settled by peaceful arbitration until one dav in Eng- lish class Robert Campbell made an outburst and Miss Bierer said, Pick up your books and lrit the road. The .same went for Robert Bacon in Biology class. D We spent a gneat deal of our time talkling it over with Mr. Kelly. Miss Byers was a pa.tient history teacher. Ah, yes, we learned much that year. Mr. Lloyd was the kindest teacher, he gave us only one theorem a day to learn, or else. We gave Mr. Ruckle some rough times. One day we :iid his chain in the cupboard and he was in no mood to play hide and see r. Our pa.rties began to get some -zip in them as the boys were not afraid of the girls any longer. Our chapel proifzrams reached a new height. Rem- embeg the time Dick Fitzsimmons tried to put out a fire with a cup of water. There were contentions and internal strife because of members strugg- ling for prominence in sports. The girls placed second in inter-class bas- ketball, losing by one point to the Juniors. The credlit for that successful year in basketball is given to Mr. Lloyd fwho taughft us the skills for the game. The boys were even more successful than the girls in inter-class basketball. 'They were recognized as Champs , Th'ere was a new-comer from Barnesboro, Pennsvlvanlia that year who joined our ranks. She was that well-known Betty McCully. Jo Ann Miller and Karlyn Johnson added their beauty to the May Day crowning. The credit for thie successful May Day program goes to Miss Bierer and Mrs Lloyd. We were a good group and although Melvin Buchin did flunk Geom- etny that year. advanced strongholds of learning we-re conquered and the Sophomores grew in favor with the various members of the faculty. With the beginning of the third year there were several changes. The valiant band who had entered as Freshman, and had conquered the lessons of the Sophomores, now aidvance-d and occupied the territory of the Jun- iors. To preside over them as chief executive they elected one. Theodore Surmacz, who walked wfisely before thiem. followed by Karlyn johnson and Melvin Buchin as vice-president anid secretary-treasurer.
