L - Q - A- - f Soph. Wiener Roast Friday evening Oct. l0, 1924 about forty Sophomores journeyed by automobiles to Spruce Run to enjoy a wiener roast. One of the autos was unable to climb a hill which led to the Run and so the occupants CML and Mrs. Sheriff and Miss Burns, were forced to turn back. The main attraction of the evening was the dividing the crowd into groups. Each group to furnish entertainment. A wrestling match was staged by Bill Ream and Mr. Cameron. Many of the Sophomores enjoyed them- selves by exploring the Run. The party was chaperoned by Mr. Foley and Mr. Cameron. A good time was enjoyed by all present. The party broke up about I0:00 o'clock and the crowd started home. fparvusl Wuchter had a little tough luck in getting his trusty Ford to start. But a Ford never fails. Chas. T. Mears, Soph. Local Editor Sophomore Class Hallowe'en Party The second annual l'lallowe'en Party of the class of 2 7 was held in the Domestic Science and Manual Arts rooms combined. The party started with great enthusiasm. All the Sophs came masked in ingenious and deligli tful costumes that ranged from pirates of old to up-to-date vamps and very Arabian shieks. Most of the Sophs were easily recognized while there were some who were puzzlers for quite a while. One was Fatima, a Turkish maid and the other was an lndian girl. But they were at last unmasked and we began playing games. The first game was three-deep. The next game didn't have a name unless it was the barber school, a make believe kissing contest, while a few were in the barber school, however, the rest of the boys went out and looked in the windows, getting wise to the game. After that we played an adver- tising slogan contest which was great fun. Then came the refreshments, that grand and glorious cider, pumpkin pie, doughnuts and apples. After eating we sang Good Night Lad-i-esl' and departed for home. Samuel Griesmer, Class Reporter 27 Twvnly-six

Freshman The Freshman class organized with practically ninety students. Edward Gerstenschlager was elected President while Mary Houghlan accepted the office of Vice President. Only a few weeks had passed when a committee was arranging for a wiener roast. Holmesbrook was selected with six-thirty the time. Mr. Woodbridge accompanied the class as chaperon. A glorious evening was spent as the friends and classmates assembled about the inviting, cheerful flames of a well kindled fire. The merry voices, the scent of spitting sizzling wieners, now and then a shriek from a terrified girl filled the cool evening air as dusk settled upon our favorite little valley with its winding brook and giant trees. Along with October came the l-lallowe'en Party with all its animation and delight. The gym provided a place of entertainment for the ghosts, witches, dudes, fair ladies and all those who gathered there. A splendid time was had after which the refreshments, cider, pumpkin pie, ice cream and cake were served. The class also shared with the Peppy Pep Party. They assisted by helping boil the wieners which found welcome rest between the layers of a bun with a spicy covering of mustard. It does not seem possible that the girls of our class would have done any- thing to make football more of a success. But they did. After the games, hungry, tired, limping and scratched, our opposing team found their way to the room where our girls treated them to 'ihot dogs and milk. So all be- cause of the Freshman girls the men went home feeling less tired and the scratches all turning smiles as they left our always honored schooi. Next in order came Basket-ball. None of the boys from our class were on the teams. But nevertheless they were faithful to practice having at least four or five on the floor every night. We showed our colors in the interclass tournament by getting victory over the Sophs who had a much better team than ours and having one or two players on the regular team. The girls came out with. a true basket-ball spirit. They soon under the leadership of the coach showed some skill in their ability to play. One girl our Vice President succeeded in getting on our High school team. We are glad to express that our first year of High School has been such an enjoyable one. But next year we hope that we may be more successful than before. julia Watts rw, U v Ixn-lily-mglit
