'T FACULTY ROCK L. BUTLER i Supervising Principal , Many years ago The Great Teacher said t-o his class of men one day as they were gathered together on the hillside that men do not light a candle and them put it under a bushel, but on a candle stick that it may give forth light. This suggests. ni least. that we should develop our abilities and then use them. We trust that during your .sojourn through high school some candles may have become lighted 1.1 your case and that as you endeavor to make a place in the general scheme of life you may let the light of your experience and talents be a guide to others, Your high school has been but a prov- ing ground where you were given the opportunity to develop whatever alxlity you hard. It has been well said that it is not always the brilliant seholar, but the conscien- tious faithful student. who makes the best citizen. In whatever station you End your- self or whatever ability you may possess, may it prove to be a candle giving light to others. NESSMUK' I 956 1 4-l: - I 1 -.gi-' ROCK L. BUTLER B. S., M. S.

This idea seems to be well founded in the mi ds of our townspeople. for no stone has been left u turn-ed by the School Beard and our cap- able director. Mr. Grant, to bring about the desired result. The band, although functioning all summer in concerts on the Green. officially open- ed its season by participating in the Hallowe'en Parade. This event was followed by . um- crous concerts throughout the school year at the school and in the surrounding community. It has long been the cherished desire of the members of the High School Band to lake part ii a State contest, and they have made every effort to raise the money neces- sary to make the trip possible. Some of the factors required for a high rating arc good instrumentation. balance. sight reading ability. and good individual playing ability. The addition of several new instruments and the longer rehearsal hours made possible by re- hearsals called before school. have contributed largely to realize our expectations. We fr-el sure that the band has great possibilities to go places in the State contest. The band's achieveme its may well be envied by any organization of its kind. Our only hope is that it may continue to improve in the years to come.

At this time it looked as though we would be forced to abandon the sp-ort. but the league olicials came to the rescue and split the league into two parts. allowing us to play most of our games away from home. The teaxn played a tive game schedule. winning two. but were forced to for- feit these because they had failed to comply with a certain P. I, A. A. ruling. W. H. S. -- 0 Charleston H --- 1 W. H.

Hortense Locey The Senior Club is affiliated with Pennsylvania and American Home Economics Associations. This gives the club the privilege of sending representative delegates to the State Economics Association Convention which is to be held at Pittsburgh in June, 1938. M. H. '38 I938-NESSMUK .I 'fi 'K if GIRLS CLUB The Youth League, composed of the Boys Club and the Girls Club, was organized this year to take the place of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y of former years. The purpose of the Girls Club is much the same as that of the Tri-Hi-Y,-to form a more perfect friend- ship, to develop a deeper feeling of responsibility and a more serious attitude toward life. Since there were so many girls who wished to joi.i the club this year. the Sopho- mores organized their own group of 47 members with Miss Bogart us their adviser. Miss Graham was Councilor for the Senior group of 75 members. A social initiation was en- joyed in October and a more formal one for all the club members took place luter in the year. Regular meetings were held 0.1 Friday morning and some very interesting programs were planned for these meetings. At one of these meetings Miss Luurn Cocks gave us a very vivid picture of the life of the poor children who attended Labor Temple in New York. At her suggestion we sent a Christmas box of toys to that school. As a service to our school, the Boys and Girls Clubs assumed the responsibility of paying for the Assembly Service programs presented before the students during the year. M. M. K. '38. NE SSMUK-I956 Y -.sr I f BUYS CLUB Lust Sm-pteiiibeiy the boys of the 1936-37 Hi-Y decided that they did not waht to brlung tn the state Hi-Y': therefore, they fot med Fl club of thefr own call-ed the Boys Club. The girls also formed El new Girls Club and together they are called The Youth League. Und:-1' the ellieil-ut z1clvise1'sl1ip of Mr, Winter. the boys elected officers and made theii' eoiistitutiou. A lot of new members put ii their applications for entering the club und ull were voted iu, As soon as the club got 21 good start, the members appointed 21 Dl'U1.1l'2lll1 cuxumitter- which has provided mzuiy interesting' 1Jl'Ogl'2llllS for the Club. Ou December third and fourth abmut twelve members went to State College to utlrud the Older Boys Conference. R. L. G. '38, I938-NESSMUK x GIRLS GLEE CLUB Every Tuesday morning at nine twenty-seven. all the girls of the Girls' Glee Club rush into Room 112 for their Weekly warbling. They like to sing and we like to have them. The first trial of their ability was on December 15. 1937. The Girls Glee Club, the Boys Glee Club. and the Mens and Womens Choral Clubs of Wellsboro presented El very entertaining concert at the high school. The music consisted of the Christmas carols, a number of selections by the Choral Clubs. and the cantata, The Wondrous Story. This spring the combined Glee Clubs produced the frie American operetta. Daniel Boone, and also participated in the annual Spring Concert. The club has worked very hard all year and has proved exceedingly successful. R. E. M. '38, NESSMUK-1936 T .-.-:F ' BUYS GLEE CLUB When school started last September, the Boys Glee Club under the efficient direc- tion of Mrs. McClintock, set out to make this a banner year, not only in work but also in pleasure and accomplishment. Because of change in our schedule. a longer time was available for practice. The boys seemed to realize that this was their opportunity, and from the Hrst displayed great enthusiasm. With this attitude on the part of the boys, it was not hard for Mrs. McClintock to develop the club along various lines. Following last year's example, solo work was stressed, producing many fine voices, with a view of enteriig individuals and groups in the County, District and State Contests. The club as a whole participated in many activities throughout the town, performing with the Girls Glee Club on various occasions. All these thi.:gs were in preparation for our final achievement-the annual operetta. We feel that this year's choice, entitled Daniel Boone, was one of the best and most difficult operettas that have ever been attemlpted. With the end of the year's work in sight, it is safe to say that the boys as a unit, heartily agree that the goal, aimed at last fall, was very muCh worthwhile, and that their efforts have been richly rewarded. L. H. W. '38. SSMUK ,ar THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Wellsboro High School Dramatic Club had. this year. one of its most success- ful seasons. The organization consisted of fifty-four members and an extensive program was arranged by which each member was given a chance to take an active part in the club work. The Hrst public presentation was a three-act farce-comedy, Galahad Jones, given as the annual effort of the club. Throughout the year several little one-act plays were giver to small audiences. and members showed their interest by assisting in direct- ing one of the projects of the Junior Players. A series of planned monthly meetings proved very entertaining and educational. Subjects were chosen for the meetings at the beginning of the year and the plan was very successful. Make-up. staging, diction. criticism of acting and common faults were some of the subjects discussed, A movie night. a Christmas party. several guest speak- ers, and a Spring picnic were also on the schedule and went across with great popularity. Many new ideas remained in the dormant stage this year so the Dramatic Club should do great things in 1939. R. M. M. '38 NESSMUK4936 Y -7 I ' iii-I ' GI-XLAHAD I ONES The annual three-act play of the Dramatic Club for 1937-38 was a farce-comedy, Galahad Jones, by Bcyce Loving. It was presented on December 3 before a fairly large audience. The presentation was very successful, considering that only two weeks had been spent in rehearsal. The plot was that of an ordinary American boy who goes th1'ough the book idol stage in life. Tommy Jones, reading Tennyson's Idylls of the Kings. is convinced that the days of King Arthur. wh-en kniglithood was in flower, were the ideal and stand- ard to which everybody should live. So he panics the whole Jones family by dressing in improvised armor and romantically saving Lena, the maid, from distress In do- ing so, he issues a challenge to Olaf. Lena's brother, a man of bad character. Olaf responds by nearly taking Tommy's life, but the latter's prospectlve brother-in-law, a young dlstzict attorney, investigates and finally rounds up one of the most daring gangs of cigarette hijackers in the country. Tommy receives some handsome rewards and, in the end. his protesting family agrees that there is some point to playing King Arthur after all. THE CAST: Tommy, alas Galahad . .

'38 l938-NESSMUK QRCI-IESTRA The High School Orchestra this year, under the direction of Mr. Grant, has been an organization of which the school may be proud. The instrumentation has been increased, thereby giving the orchestra more depth and a greater variety of tonal colors. The members of this group rehearse every Tuesday morning from eight to ni.1e-thirty o'c1ock. The orchestra played for the chapel programs, for Teachers Institute held here last fall, for the Parent Teacher Association, for the annual Operetta and for other Spring Concerts. This year, our orchestra had the honor a.1d privilege of being host to the A11- State Orchestra Festival, which was held here in February. Nine members of the Wells- boro group were selectd to take part in this festival. Our school was represented at the district orchestra in Altoona by a group of twelve musicians. All these facts show that the High School Orchestra has had another successful season. B. H. '38. NE SSMUK-i936 f -7 I STARDUSTERS The Wellsboro High School Dance Orchestra was 1'eorga.1ized this year and the name was changed from Melodeers to Stardusters. Under the general supervision of Mr. Grant and the leadership of Edgar English they played for several high school functions and sponsored many da :ces after basket-ball games. The aim of the organiza- tion this year was to obtain a well balanced Swing Orchestra and to be financially as independegt of the school as possible. To a great extent this goal has been attained. The members are as follows: Ben Husted and Edgar English, alto saxophonesg Frank Watkins. tenor saxophone: Edward Husted and Robert Stevens, trumpetsg Richard Bailey, tromboneg Morrell Spencer. bassg Robert Dutcher, drums: Marguerite Wilcox, pia tog Richard Bailey and Irene Knapp, vocals.

I I f .-gi-' THE ALL-STATE ORCHESTRA FESTIVAL The All-State Orchestra Festival, which was held in Wellsboro on February 24, 25, 26, was one of the outstanding musical events of the season. This orchestra was composed of c-ver one hundred and sixty musicians, representing schools in every part of the state. The fol1owi..g members of our orchestra were selected to participate in this festival: Kathryn Vaganos. Lydia Manfre. Claude Anderson, Edward Spencer, Theodore Patt, Morrell Spencer, Carolyn Field, Ben Husted, Bernard Glennon, Donald Basney. Honorary Guest Conductor for this event was Dr. Howard Hanson, Director of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. Karl Van Hoesen, also of the Eastman School of Music, was Assistant Guest Conductor. Dr. Hanson has conducted many major symphony orchestras both in this country and abroad. It was certainly a privilege for this orchestra to be under the leadership of so great a man. The first public appearance of this group was a concert given for the school children on Friday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon a half-hour concert was broadcast over station WESG in Elmira from the stage of the High School auditorium. Two formal concerts were given, one Friday evening. and one Saturday evening. Since Dr. Hanson did not arrive in Wellsboro early enough to rehearse the orchestra Friday, Mr. Van Hoesen, who had rehearsed the orchesttra on Thursday and Friday, conducted the co.:cert Friday night. Dr. Hanson was the conductor Saturday night. The program was as follows: Prelude and Fugue in D Minor .................. Introduction to Third Act from Loheng1'in ....

This festival will be re- membered for years to come and we eagerly look forward to a similar one ln the future. B. H. '38 I938'NESSMUK .AQ CHRISTMAS CANTATA Our High School Glee Club and Orchestra combined with the community Choral Club in the presentation of the Christmas program for the Parent-Teachers Associa- tion. This festival of music was presented on the evening of Wednesday, December fifteenth. The stage of the auditorium was appropriately decorated with evergreens and tall, red electric candles. It made a very effective scene with the Glee Club and Choral Club grouped on the stage. The program was divided into three parts: The flrst part consisted of Christmas Carols sung by the combined Choral and Glee Clubs. The high light of this part was the bringing in of the Boar's Head which is an old English cus- tom. This was featured by the Boys Glee Club led by Lane Webster. The directors for this part were: Mrs. Rockwell, Mrs. McClintock, and Mrs. Hayden. Arthur Lofgren and his Wellsboro Symphony Orchestra presented Part II. The accompanists were: Claudia Bennett, Alice English, and Betty Sweet. Four tableaux arranged by Professor Cocks assisted by Miss Smart and Miss Wheeler made up Part III. of the program. During these tableaux th-e combiged Choral and G1-ee Clubs with Mrs. Hamilton as soloist sang the cantata The Wondrous Story. The accompanists for this were: Mary Wilcox and Mrs. E. H. Green. This was one of the finest musical programs ever pre- sented by the Choral Clubs of We-llsboro and the high school. A. O. '38 NESSMUK' I 956 f -7 I ' -ah?-' ' The members -of this year's varsity basketball team wish to ta-ke this opportunity gratefully to thank Mr. Deibert, our coach, for his untiring efforts in making us a cham- pionship team. We appreciate deeply what he has done for us and we hope that he may enjoy the same success again next year. D. W. K. '38 IAY-VEES Our Junior Varsity Champions upheld their excellent record of last year by winning again the trophy of the Tioga County Junior Varsity Basketball League. The team played twenty-nine league games and six non-league games, winning nearly every one by a large margin. Most of the boys will return next year to continue their role as 'champion and to fill the vacancies of the varsity. We are confident that Wellsboro will again rank tops in the league.

At each basketball game these girls in green and white could be found going through their rhythmic motions with the crowd care- fully following them in the yells. Their work was a source of real inspiration to the team, and Wellsboro is proud of them. H. A. S. '38 BASKETBALL The Green and White Basketball Team of our W. H. S. completed one of the most successful seasons in many years. Losing only one of our regular league games, we emerg- ed at the end of the season with the long coveted championship of Tioga County. Going on in the post season P. I. A. A. play-05, we met defeat by the strong Sayre teamg the six players who saw action against Sayre deserve great credit for the wonder- ful game put up against a heavier, older team, our men leading their opponents until the last ten seconds of play, when a free throw allowed Sayre to tie the score. In the over- time period, Sayre, being fresher because of numerous substitutions during the game, easily won out by a 38-34 score. The curtain was oflicially drawn on Basketball for this season Friday night, March 18, in a game between our varsity and a team of stars picked from all the other teams in the league. The Green and White won 41-30, and about 500 fans were well ,entertained by a very fast game and a perfect example of good sportsmanship by every player. R. L. G.

They give the reader so many reminiscent thoughts of the days which have come, passed, and are now recorded in history. Looking through the dust-covered, felt-bound, loose-leaf booklet kept oy the Class of 1938, we refreshed our memories with many precious little incidents. Unlatching the ancient, hand-hewn lock of the huge album with a tarnished brass key, we folded back the cover and glanced at the first crisp, yellowish page. Its Old English type boldly announced that upon the Third Day of September, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-six Years, Anno Dominl, a New Class of Wellsboro High School did form. Below this iilscription were antiquated tin-types of Miss Lappla and Miss Balfour, the two who did much to form and to keep together the youngsters of the Class of 1938 in those iirst dark, primary school days. Another picture showed us those youngsters gathering for the first time as a group and pledging that for twelve years they should be undivided. As we read, our hearts throbbed at the memory. We turned the page and started to explore Chapter the First. A picture of little girls in bangs and boys with real me-i's suits surging into the rooms of Miss Balfour and Miss Lappla was our first impression. We recognized some of the children to be ourselves at the tender age of six. Our interest ln the book was so thoroughly aroused that we leafed on to see what we could find. We saw our mates receiving stars on the chart for completing chapters from a primer in which they found such phrases as, Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day! and the story of the Squirrel and the Acornsf' We saw pretty colored blocks being formed with nimble little fingers. We saw various displays of temperament in the group, with some crying mournfully and others coming to school late, just because they dldn't want to come on time. We saw a typical recess period with its teeter-totters and sliding boards. Turning the page, we came upon views of our class back when it was ln its second year. Reading circles, spelling bees, and a new fangled type of numbers called take- away were represented as being the type of work studied by the little tots. In the lower left-hand corner of the page was a picture of Bob Conevery with his seat in the midst of many pretty little girls. We are reminded that he has been a woman-hater ever since. In the center we saw some of the boys playing mibb1es in Webster's driveway. Another photo showed the original little German Band with the Second Grade pupils playing drums and toy trumpets like veterans. The front door was now used by the pupils and they felt quite grown up. We turned the page again and found ourselves looking at the likenesses of our- selves back when we went upstairs in Third Grade. We now could use the fire escapes, and had the privilege of being the masters of the playground. Bobby Greenfield, we were reminded by a sorrowful looking picture, broke his leg and had to spend ten weeks out of school. He came back using crutches, and knowing his lessons, which made us all very envious. He also taught us to play poker and the teachers became very alarm- ed to see the little boys carrying matches. Another picture showed a. large group of thc children laborlously learning their multiplication tables-after four o'clock. The memory of that year made a lump come into our throats, so we turned on to the next. We leafed on and found ourselves viewing the fourth step in the education of the Class of 1938. Many things marked that year. Thereywas a vivid picture of the boys and girls organizing for that year. Dick Wilson was chosen monitor for the cloak room and he kept that room tidy, shutting the door promptly at nine and one. Another picture showed Ralph Moshier waiting almost until time for Amos and Andy, to flnsh his NESSMUK ' I 936 1 '7 I arithmetic. Then too, there was a photo of some of the kids skating on the new Kilgus' Rink. If we remember right, the Chamber of Commerce gave free tickets and the whole school went skating that winter. The School Board had recently installed radios in each home room and the Fourth Grade spent many happy hours listening to the delightful music of Walter Damrosch and his Children's Hour. Long division was taken up and, much to the delight of all, considerably shortened the process formerly used in short division. In geography we made imaginary voyages to far off countries where we visit- ed Bombo, Hirfa and other little natives. Snapshots of these incidents and troublemakers gave us many thoughts as we looked them over. We turned to the section reserved for the Fifth Grade and realized that those not- so-long-ago days were full of activity. The first picture in that section of the album was of the boys building a miniature log cabin which was displayed in Mather's and March's store. Another shot was of a radio station organized by us children, way back then. It had a microphone, and regular programs which were presented every Thursday morn- ing. Of course, it was all a fake but we remembered what a lot of fun it was working with it, and a good experience, too. In the upper right hand corner was a picture of a group of the girls in their Girl Scout uniforms. That reminded us how jealous the boys were because they could not join the Scouts then instead of two years later. In the center of the page was a photo of a game of bat ball' during recess period. We all were rabid fans of the game then and even bought two nice large rubber balls with money we had earned through the Parent-Teacher Association. We were very much riled when we were tc-ld that we would hand the toys down to the class which would succeed us. Then, there was that gas well some of the boys tried to drill in Lane Webster's back yand. They built a six foot derrick and had drilled through six feet of rock when they gave up the enterprise because they could obtain nothing but rain Water. Everybody in the class won a Palmer Writing Pin, for the first time in the history of the school. Another pic- ture showed the children laboring over fractions, American history, United States geo- graphy and other subjects for that year. The fifth episode was really quite an interest- lng year, when we were helped along in remembering it. Sixth Grade. Oh, oh! Jane Green had a boy friend! His name was Elwyn Jacobs and he went in Miss Edwards' room down in Seventh Grade. There were many pictures, too. It was quite an event when we were all given new seats after having old dilapidated ones for half of the year. Carl Carson caused quite a rumpus when he put 6X on top in the Christmas Seal Sale by buying up large quantities and auctioneering them off agai.1. We were given a free show at the Arcadia. That was quite a treat since it was Jackie Coogan in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The boys began showing their pug- listic ability to excess and spent much time regretting the fact in the home rooms after schcol hours. At the spring picnic, the Sixth Grade beat the Fifth Grade in baseball under the twenty-hit pitching of Paul Platt Smith. We started taking up two-part singing and were very successful at it. We studied the art of decimals, took up landscape and per- spective drawing, published a twelve page newspaper in writing class, and on the whole had a very eventful year. We were very much elated over the fact that we were going to be the first Seventh Grade ever to enter the new Junior-Senior High School building erected on the other side of town. Upon leaving the old elementary building we nearly cried our eyes out, but we were mighty proud of the fact that we had passed six years so successfully. These pictures came to us much more familiarly than did those of other years, and probably we shall never forget them. It took us some time to look through the rest of the Album of the Class of 1938, but we considered our time well spent. We recalled so many of the little incidents which l938-NESSMUK 5 have happened within the past six years. Our Junior-Senior High School days probably cannot be duplicated by any other group in the world. When, in the middle of the month of September in 1932, we marched with nve hundred and fifty older students up the steps of the brand new high school building on Nichols Street, we were very proud of ourselves. No other Seventh Grade or any other class in Wellsboro had ever before been given such fine opportunities as this fine hall of leaming offered. We were given a line opening program by some of the leading towns- people and were then directed to our new Home Rooms. It took us a long time to become used to the great changes around us. New subjects, such as shop, home economics, gym and physical education were on our programs and we took an earnest interest in them. Many things happened that year. We had become much more mature and were eager to tell the school that we would rival any class in anything. When it came to earning the use of our gymnasium for one hour, our boys worked for days gathering metal for a col- lection being made in the Shop. Once a week we had Home Room periods and we work- ed out something new each time, always having a lot of fun doing it. Each section pre- sented plays on the stage before the Junior High Assembly and thus started some line Thespianic careers. Seven A had a circus type of act in which every person did some stunt. Some played instruments, some danced, and some talked. Seven B presented a little operetta with an entire cast of boys. The hero not only saved another boy's life, but also won himself a beautiful bicycle. That year we had our first great sorrow, which ended many of the joys of our new environment. Leda Manino, one of our members lov- ed by all, passed away early in the spring. As for our studies, everybody did well. Hav- ing a new building seemed to make us work harder than at any time before or since. Then we passed on to the Eighth Grade. We had a very large class and it was divided into three parts. We developed student councils, which governed the students well until council members rebelled at reprimandlng themselves and Edward Robison was sentenced to stand in the floor venilator for forty-nve minutes. We were joined by some new members who had skipped Seventh Grade. Wellsboro High School had a fine foot- ball team that year and the boys did nothing but eat, sleep and think football until long after Christmas. Many of the girls took chorus jobs in the amateur musical show in the old Bache Auditorium. Larry's Band was at its peak and about half of the boys and girls of our class were in that organization. We all slid through the comparatively easy courses in geography, American history, and mathematics and continued many of our scholastic aspirations of the year before. When spring came, we went on picnics at Darl- ing Run, where we broke all records by going in swimming, although the ice had hardly disappeared. We ilnlshed what We considered to be a great year and looked forward to the Freshman lap of our education with much anxiety. There were one hundred and thirty pupils present when the Class of 1938 convened to start its Freshman year. Latin became the first thing of importance and a large num- ber of the students took up the course conceming that dead language. We soon got down to business, however, and started acting like human beings once more. We became a great party class and every time someone moved away or had a birthday, we celebrated. The boys went out for sports in a big way. T'he Class football team beat the Class of 1937 in the first game of a long series. The Neophyte basketball team also gained glory by beating the Methodist Scouts. Clubs came into our lives for the first time with the forming the Junior Players and the Freshmen Hi-Y organizations. The Boys Hi-Y did its good turn on Arbor Day by cleaning up the back hill and planting many small spruce trees. - Our Sophomore year came upon us quickly and we considered ourselves much more NESSMUK' I 936 dignified, sinoe we were given many privileges. Nearly every person in the Class soon be- longed to all available organizations and was active in this extra curricular work. Our abilities began to show that year, and it was decided that this person should become this, while that person was fated for something else. We elected Dick Wilson as president and Mill Heyler as vice president, which started something. Bill Rogers was also an omcer that year, and he has had an independent way with him ever since. We struggled through biology and plane geometry, memorized much Shakesperean verse, and learned definitely what Spenserian stanza was. When the Health Parade came in the Spring, two of our members, Rachel Jo-nes and Ralph Moshier, portrayed an old fashioned couple visiting town on Circus Day. The season soon ended, having been very successful. When we came back to school again, we were very sad indeed over the death of Orson Wilcox, one of the most popular fellows and promising athletes in the class. We finally became organized, however with Miser Wilkinson as the Captain of our Ship. We took an increasingly active part in the school and club work, and considered ourselves more important than ever. We even rivaled the Seniors of that year, since our group was much larger, and we had the idea we were just as capable of running the school as they. Every noon, parts of the classes would stage an intense rivalry in the Auditorium, the Juniors always coming out on top, since they outnumbered their predecessors, three to one. We took over the Cauldron ln April, and did a very successful job at it. At the end of the year we looked back upon our work with a great deal of pride and prepar- ed for the last one hundred and eighty days of our scholastic career. The last chapter of our album was very dramatic. We entered the building in September with a highly superior feeling. We had worked hard for the past eleven years and were about to reap what we could of what had been sown for us. With one hundred and twelve members, we were the largest class in the history of old Wellsboro High School Soon we took over our various duties, such as Youth League, Dramatic Club, Nessmuk, Science Club, Cauldron, Home Economics, Photography, Band, Orchestra, Glee Clubs, etc. Swiftly activities came and passed. Plays, Tommy Thomas, All-State Orchestra, and a very successful basketball season all drew large crowds and fame to our spacious and beautiful school. The operetta brought out the vocal ability of our many talented mem- bers. We could hardly ask for much more in one school year. Scholastically we had many able students, who honored the school by doing excellent work. In music Ben Husted was the State Champion Clarinetist. Several scholarships were won, and Bob Greenfield received an alternate appointment to West Point. We may, indeed, be proud of the achievements of the Class of 1938. When we are through the graduation cere- monies, and receive our diplomas on June 5, we shall be very proud and happy, but shall feel that we have completed what were the happiest days of our lives. Slowly leaflng back through the pages of the old album of the Class of 1938, we recollected many deep-bedded memories. Twelve years is indeed a long time for young people and many things can happen in that period. Glancing at the inscription, Know- ledge is Power, on the nnal page, we looked back to the time when we were running through the halls of the Wellsboro High School, and wished we could be there again. Closing the thick volume, and latching its covers, we carefully placed it in its place upon a shelf where it will remain until some other dreamy Thirty-Eighter finds time to re- gard lts interesting contents with such great pride as only a select few can profess.

Je QI938'NESSMUK 'T CLASS WILL One cold, frosty night last January I went skating at the Kllgus rink. On my return trip I found myself faced with two alternatives: to walk via the sidewalk at the risk of having my ears frostbitten, or to go through the cemetery and shorten the dis- tance home. Now, I am naturally lazy and I took the shorternway. I had progressed about half of the distance through the cemetery when I heard a series of weird and disturbingly ghoulish shrieks. They made an irresistible appeal to my morbid curiosity and I proceded to trace them down. As I neared an unusually large tombstone, a Wraith-like nothingness wafted toward me. On closer examination I noticed a tag bearing the inscription CLASS OF 1938 around the neck of the hrst ghost that I have seen wearing a cap and gown. He kept mumuring Gone But Not Forgotten, and then handed me this weatherbeaten scroll which I promised to pass on to you. Below is an exact production of it. TIME MARCI-IES ON! without : The Present Senior Class who leave all their trials and tribulations to the JUNIORS. May you sleep well! DOROTHY BROWN, who reluctantly leaves her dark hair and dashing eyes to NEN SCUREMAN. MR. PEIFERJS MATH CLASS, who leave their slide rules, statistics, sine table, and other paraphanalia to next year's crop of disciples. BEN HUSTED, who leaves to his brother ED the responsibility of holding aloft the high scholastic standards of his family name. RANSFORD CAMPBELL, who gives WARREN SPENCER his aptitude at the ancient art of square dancing. EDWARD ROBISON, who leaves his assortment of gags, giggles, gadgets, and guffaws to GERALD COPP. PAUL PLAT SMITH, who leaves all his DON JUAN instincts to L'B.mour WATKINS. BILL DAVIS, who gives Cunwillinglyb his model A and all that goes with it to his brother BOB. EIBIE THILO, who leaves her quiet, pleasant ways to HELEN DAR'I'I'. PEGGY HOUSENECHT, who leaves The Muck to ANNA KECK. WARD WILCOX, who leaves the long pants that Beech Davis gave him tthey didn't fit anyhowl to WARREN LAWTON. NESSMUK' I 936 if 4':'lY'7 I Z1 ii' --551 ' ROBERT fDE'I'ENTIONl CONEVERY, who leaves his determination to Get his money's worth from the school by staying at night, to JOHNNY WEBSTER. MABEL SCHULTZ, who leaves her talented soprano voice to JANE'I' KNAPP. CLAUDE ANDERSON, who leaves LEON MOSHIER to shoulder the responsibility of that Umpah tooter. GERRY KNAUS, who leaves her knowledge- of the Lingua Latina to FRANK WATKINS. MARGUERITE KBUTCI-D WILCOX, who leaves MR, FISH in complete peace and happiness. LEROY KILBOURNE, who leaves the road from STONY FORK to MORRIS in the personal care of REX WILLARD. MARY WILCOX, who leaves that terror of the school house, the job of editing the Nessmuk to some JUNIOR who has as much patience as the Sphinx, as much per- severance as a perpetual motion machine and as much amlbition as Adolph Hitler. RALPH MOSHIER, who humbly prays that no one person will ever again have to print so many Cauldrons practically single-handed. The ghost sat and chuckled while I hastily read over the script. He then prom- ised that people would shun me, avoid me, curse me, and maybe usa physical violence on me if I submitted this. I was about to cast it aside when he gave a great howl and said that the entire staff of ghosts from the president on down would haunt me. After some indecision I decided to undergo the acts of people but to leave the ghosts entire- ly alone. As I turned to tell this to the ghost he swished into the air with the speed of an express train and power-dived into a grave. Still clutching the script I put on my best speed and was soon home. W. W, W, '38 I938'NESSMUK Wi CLASS PRCDPI-IECY Just at the stroke of twelve on a December day in the year of 1958 an old man, bent and wizened, with a scythe in his hand and an hour glass hanging at his side, came into my bedroom. Taking me by the hand this old gentleman said, Nature has given me but one hour more to ll.ve. Take it. It is yours to see what marks your friends have made upon the sands of time. With these words he unbuckled his hour glass and, upon handing it to me, vanished from my sight. I set the hour glass on a table and when the first grains of golden sand started trickling through the glass, I saw Wellsboro no longer a town but a great city. People were hurrying everywhere. In the Government Census Survey Office, Claude Anderson was emciently managing his force of workers. Jane Green, Ruth Moore, and Marion Field, his secretaries, moved about in a rapid pace. Time was moving and they too must move. Carl Carson, the wealthy Hnancier, was sitting in his ofllce patiently await- ing the arrival of his wife, the former Mary Jane Van Horn, when the door burst open and two grinning gentlemen stood before him. Kerrick and Rogers, as I 1ive, ' he exclaimed. When did you arrive? What brought you here? ' Not so fast, Carl. I'm not used to answering dictation so rapidly, replied Rog- ers. Kerrick and I work at the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California. We heard that George Eberenz, the state forester at Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon had, by accident, unearthed the skeleton of an elephant from the ice age. We came to see if we might buy it for scientific purposes. I'll see what I can do toward getting it for you, but come, boys, here's Mary Jane, and as you haven't seen the city in so long why not take a little stroll with us? If it Won't inconvenience you, We'd like to come, said Kerrlck. No, not at all, replied Mary Jane. We'd love to show you our city. Will, wherever did Lane Webster disappear to? asked Carl as they started down the avenue. I haven't seen him for ages, nor Harold Wilkinson either. Why, don't you know? Lane is leading brain specialist in Harrisburg's largest hospital and Wilkinson is an orderly there, answered Will. There, said Carl, is what used to be the Penn Wells. It is called the Keystone now and has forty stories. You probably have noticed our streets have been widened considerably. This ls Madame Baumann's Dress Salon. You remember Dora, don't you? She's the owner of this shop. Betty Brooks and Bette Ogden are two of her best mannequins, and LeRoy Kilbourn is her advertising and sales manager, chattered Mary Jane hap- pily. And if you want a permanent just go down Sixth Street to the 'Wonder Shoppek proprietors, Mosso and Houseknecht, and you'll get one very reasonably. They say that the reason they get so much trade is that they have such charming personalities and are continually talking to their patrons. Well, they certainly missed something when they didn't get you, remarked Carl. You remind me sometimes of a girl with whom we graduated. Now, Carl! exclaimed Mary Jane ln her best Gracie Allen tone. Oh, I think I know whom you mean! Geraldine Vanturia! Where is she, Carl? asked Rogers. Why she and Dorothy Brown are gum testers in Ruth Kna-pp's Stretchee Gum Factory which is located just outside of Canton. Ruth has put Wrigley entirely out of business. NESSMUK ' I 936 'till l- ....s-' Kerrlck and I thought it would be interesting to find out what the different members of our class were doing and then put it in a book entitled, 'Twenty Years Later, ' said Rogers. That's a good idea, replied Mary Jane. Here's a bit of humor for you. Carl had a letter from Herbert Jordan the other day and he said he was having quite a time with Charles Hollenbeck. You know Herbie is judge of Coffee County Court proceedings. Well, anyhow, Charlie plays his accordion at ten o'clock in the morn- ing. Imagine it! Personally, I don't see how he awakens so early. Herbie says that it annoys the inhabitants to be awakened at that hour by the strains of 'Pennsyl- vania Forever' and that they wish he'd go back to his Pennsylvania. Then, too, it seems that 'Ed' Robison has been annoying His Honor by asking him to buy a por- trait of himself, but Herbie says, 'Ah jus' tole him that foh ten cents Ah could see myself in a mirroh an' an' save S9.90'. How does Newberry's Five-and-Ten look, Kerrick? Not the same place is it? By the way Izelda Turk and Iona Dodge clerk here and Luella Bowen is clerking at Dunham's, said Carl. Here is Wilson's Meat Market, continued Carl as they moved on. 'D1ck' took it over two years .after he graduated. Why here are two of your friends, 'Ted' Patt and 'Don' Townsend, directing traffic. Brass buttons and blue. I always said gold became you, said Mary Jane. Quiet, Mary Jane, exclaimed Carl as they moved on after having exchanged greetings. Kerrick, you haven't ridden on our elevated railway, have you? Willis Campbell runs it. Ccme on. Let's try it. It is one of our best transportation facilities. Speaking of transportation, did you know that 'Del' Perry was assistant superintendent of the New York Central and that 'Bob' Rumsey and Robert Roby drive Greyhound buses? I hear that Helen Rupert has a job at the State Capitol, remarked Kerrick. Not only that, replied Mary Jane, but she has defeated George Hossfield for the championship in typewriting and she won on a Royal that Helen Wilson sold her. You kncw Helen is a demonstrator of Royal typewriters. She received her training in Ralph Moshier's school for future salesmen. Ralph, himself, is writing editorials for 'The Philadelphia Record! Maurice Shaw and Charles Mosher were also in Ralph's class only they specialize in automobiles. There are quite a few birds that have flown the nest, said Kerrick. Walter Hunter and Oscar Priset have joined the navy and are stationed at Shanghai. 'Gerry' Knaus, Janice Fish, and Elizabeth Briggs are trained nurses at the Lock Haven Hospital and Helen Swanson runs a dancing academy in Philadelphia. Just a minute, said Rogers, anxious to get his chance to talk. Howard Van Horn and Shirley Shattuck are Co-starring in 'Other Worlds' Larry Champaign, Law- rence Stadler, and Leland Smith have joined the army, and are now in Panama. I've also heard that Jesse Wilson is the man on the flying trapeze in the Ringling Brothers' Circus. I've better news than that, insinuated Carl. What is it? What is it? they all sh.rleked curiously. Mary Wilcox, the editor of the 'Nessmuk' for the year of 1938, has just won the Nobel Prize on her novel, 'Fifty Feet in Laughterf She is also editor of the 'Woman's Home Companion' and Marie Kreisler is head of her business department. Mae and Harriet Coolidge run the Ambassador Hotel at Atlantic City and Ruth Wetherbee has taken her unusual tact and technique to China where she is teaching the natives. She l938-NESSMUK fi is assisted by her friend, Mrs. McCarthy, the former Amy Weller. Louise Thomas has become a member of the Salvation Army and 'Nonie' Priset has joined the American Red Cross and has volunteered for services abroad. Heavens, Carl, do yc-u keep a directory of some sort? asked Mary Jane jealously. No, replied Carl, I just sort of keep in touch with them. Carl, I'd like to go to see that elephant now if you don't mind, said Kerrick. No, not at all, replied Carl. Conductor, let us od at the Grand Canyon, please. Within a few minutes Kerrick, Rogers, and Mr. and Mrs. Carson were in the Grand Canyon. As they were crossing to a pavilion, Kerrick, who was the last in line, let out a piercing scream. What's biting you? asked Will. That's what I'd like to know, replied Kerrick angrily as he removed his hand from his forehead where a large bump was appearing. That's just 'Ranny Campbell and Robert Fuller sending you their compliments, laughed Carl heartily. They own the largest bee farm in Tioga County. It's just two miles from here. Well, I certainly hope they keep their compliments at home next time, snorted Kerrick. 'Wardle' Wilcox and 'Lou' Van Gorder are over in that stand, said Mary Jane. Let's go over. I want to talk to them. Hello, Wardie and Lou, said Carl. Meet your old friends. Why, hello. This is a pleasure, said Ward. It looks as though Kerrick had met a few of the bee farmers' portegeesf' laugh- ed Lou Van Gorder. Yes. I did, replied Kerrick. Do you have some soda, or something that I could put on it? Yes, I have some salve 'Ranny' Campbell left with me that is exclusively for stings, said Lou, and produced a box some of the contents of which Kerrick used on his injured head. Ward, did you get Leah Brown's address for me? asked Mary Jane. Yes, I did, replied Ward. It's 254 Walnut Street, Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. She's a Physical Education teacher in the high school there. She also gives private dancing lessons. Kerrick and Rogers are here to see the remains of the elephant George found. They'd like to buy lt. Do you suppose we could help them get it? asked Carl. Why sure! answered Ward. Senator Pickling, I'm sure, will not prevent them from attaining their objective. Who's Senator Ptck1ing? asked Rogers. I've never heard of him before, have I? No, replied Ward, but you do know his wife the former Ann Owlett. Besides being a senator, Mr. Pickling is also our Honorary Mayor. Take them into the tent and show them the elephant, said Ward to Lou. All right, answered Lou. This way, please! A curious crowd had gathered within the tent. As Will and his group came closer they could hear a heated discussion that was taking place between two gentlemen. I tell you that isn't so, said the flrst. That bone was broken by a huge rock. How do you know? answered the other tartly. Were you there? Gentlemen, peace, please, said an onlooker. Both of you may be either right or wrong. This is a petty thing to be quarrellng over in the first place. NESSMUK' I 936 1 lil I - Who are those men that were just quarre1ing? asked Kerrick. The first one at the right is Paul Smith and the other is Robert Conevery. They are partners in the law profession and have never lost a case, replied Lou. They must be good, said Kerrick thoughtfully. No, just bright, returned Lou. They always take opposite sides on a case so that one is bound to win for the firm, That's what I call diplomacy! exclaimed Kerrick. Now tell me who that kind- ly gentleman was that stopped the argument. Why that was Lawson Brown, our silver-tongued orator. He is a preacher at Dexter now and is loved by all his followers. Here comes Ward. I wonder what he wants? pondered Lou. I've just been talking to Senator Plckling and he said that you could have the remains of the elephant by donating a sum of your own choosing to Ruth Bowen to be used for social Work, said Ward. Hurray! shouted Rogers and Kerrick happily. Our primary task is finished. Now if we can find What the rest of our schoolmates are doing we can go back and write om' book. Let's all help him, said Mary Jane. Get your pencil and notebook, Will. I know where some of the girls are. Let's see. Leona Mosher, is the person who gives Sunshine Talks over NBC every Thursday eveningg and Elizabeth Brewer, Elise Thllo, and Jean Moran work in the Reemployment Ofllce in Wellsboro. Helen Campman is teaching school at Morris, and Esther Sticklin is married to a retired navy captain. I think his name is Whartong and the-y live on a farm near Mansfield. Martin Krsek and John Smith, said Carl, run dairy farms this side of Morris: Eugene Bertsche owns a coal mine at Antrim, and Everitt Vanderhoof is a cattle dealer. Ella West is an accountant in the First National Bank, and Thelma Hostrander and Elizabeth Tongue are cateresses and serve excellent meals at their 'Pine Grove Lodge' near Liberty. Did you know, Will, that your old friend, Charles Rees is a butler in the home of Senator and Mrs. Pickling, and that Walt Wetherbee is a coast caller for square dances? asked Lou. No, said Will, but is it true that William Davis and 'Ed' Boyd are athletic directors at Pittsburgh and that Floyd Root is chef on the 'S. S. I-Iarla? ' Yes, said Ward, I heard from 'Bill' and Floyd just yesterday, and Lou had a visit from Ed last Wednesday. Just pick up that telephone and you'll hear from either Erma Clark or Louise Dufiey. They're operators for the Bell Telephone Company. Why not call them up and ask them where some of their friends are? asked Mary Jane. That's an idea! Kerrick, you call, ordered Will. Operator, information please. I'd like to speak to Louise Duffey. Hello, Louise? This is Don Kerrick. I am gathering material for a book and thought maybe you could tell me where some of our classmates are. You don't say! Well what about. Robert Christie? Do you know where he is? Thanks a million, Louise. That was a great help. Turning to Wlll, Kerrick said, Louise certainly can keep 'tab' on her friends. She said that Martha Hackett and Betty Campman are in Chicago where they are em- ployed as photographers for the Interntio-nal Art Association. Norma Alexander and Dortha Apgar are manufacturers of Golden Dream Shampoo. They always did have lovely golden hair. She also said that Robert Christie is a messenger for the Western Union. I938'NESSMUK That oertalnly was splendid information. I had lost track of Robert, said Will. Will, said Carl, I just remembered that Dale Chandler and Stan Backwell were partners in a combination bowling alley and pool hall here, and that 'Cotton' Mc- Inroy is a manufacturer of pencils with unbreakable points. He's made quite a bit of money on that besides lifting our tax burden a little. You see the people won't have to buy so many pencils for their children. Well, said the Dexter preacher as he ambled up to Kerrick. You seem to be quite busy. May I be of service? You can if you know where any of the class of 1938 are, said Kerrick. Well, I know that George Banker runs the theatre at Towanda and Robert Keck grows celery on his farm at Marsh Creek. Oh. by the way, Bob is married, too. You ought to be able to guess. John Cooney is foreman on the state road and Robert Satter- ly is manager of that marvelous new boxer, George Pettingillf' Why, thanks, Lawson, said Will. I've almost all the members of the class ax:- counted for. I'm quite tired so I'll have to go back to the city now. Besides we go back to California tomorrow. Let me drive you back to Wellsboro, suggested Lawson. Thanks, Lawson. We'd love to have you, said Will. As the car left the park the boys caught a glimpse of the sky which was in a rosy flush. They knew in their hearts that the sunsets of California were not so lovely as these, nor did they make so lasting an impression. Did you know that Mabel Schultz was with the Metropolitan Opera Company? asked Lawson as they sped along the highway. Edward Spencer is with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in which he plays the violin. Robert Greenfield, the great hun- ter, is back from the jungles of Africa where he spent four years shooting and taming wild life. At least that's what the paper said. Our friend, Ben Husted, is head of the Music Department at Bucknell Uiver- sity, contributed Mary Jane, and Richard Bailey is conductor of the Bailey Swing Orchestra at St. Louis. Do you have 'Mill' Heyler in your book, Will? queried Carl. She and Mar- guerite Wilcox are blue singers at the 'Silver Moon' in Elmira. Tommy Comfort runs the 'Palace.' Oh, yes, and Dorothy Murphy is Society Editor of the Blossburg Herald. I also heard that 'Gerry' Lewis was Latin teacher at Canton High School. Lawson brought his car to a stop in front of the Keystone Hotel and Kerrick and Rogers got out, bidding good-bye to the Carsons and Lawson. What a grand time we've had, remarked Kerrick when they were in their rooms. Yes, said Rogers as he turned on the radio and sank exhausted into a large chair. Station WAZ broadcasting from the NBC networks. Folks, we have with us again 'Inquisitive Joe of the Radio, said the announcer. Good evening folks, said 'Inqulsitive Joe! Why-? That's Keith Butler, said Kerrick. We almost forgot him. Let's go to bed now and not worry any more about our friends. The last grains of sand were going through the glass when I saw Wellsboro High School and the great city fading from sight. The hour was too short-much too short. I reached my hand to touch the hour glass but it was gone. With a sigh of content at the good fortune of my classmates I settled down for the night.

THE CAULDRGN What gate receipts are to a first nighterg what Edgar Bergen is to Charlie Mc- Carthy, what an earthworm is to a bluebirdg that's what the Cauldron is to the Nessmuk. The Cauldron is a mimeographed newspaper, published twice monthly by the Senior Classes in Welisboro High School to raise funds for the printing of the annual. It has been successful this year and has been better than ever before in its four years of cxist- ence. The staff worked hard on the Cauldron and all have had great fun and many valuable experiences in 'putting it out. The staff is as follows: Editor, Ralph Moshierg Assistant Editor, Ward Wilcox, Busi- ness Manager, William Rogers, Associate Editors, Dorothy Murphy, Mary Jane Van Horn, Louis Vain Gorder, Marion Field, Assistants, Donald Kerrick, Jane Green, Exchange Edi- tor. Helen Swanson: Reporters, Carl Carson.

Miss Fischler is the adviser and censor. R. M. M. '38 l938'NES5MUK Qt BASEBALL Last year's baseball season was a decided success. The team Won their league but lost in the play-offs to Elkland by a score of 8-3. The team should be just as successful this year considering that lt lost only four players from the varsity of the last year's squad. They were Holmquist, Tarscowicz, Emmick, and Peterson. Wat- kins will have a. hard job trying to 1111 Ho1mquist's duties behind :the plate. Smith is expected to carry out Tarscowicz's duty on the mound with Niles helping him. Jordan is expected to be on the initial sack with Kiliborne on second, Kerrick at short, Rusty Ludlam at third and Flash Boyd, Bob Davis and Les Short in the outfield. Because of the flood late last summer, our baseball diamond is not in very good condition. Therefore, there is a possibility that We might have to play all of our games out of town. The schedule this year is expected to be much harder, with Blossburg, Mans- field, Westfield, Elkland and possibly Lawrenceville competing. If Coach Davidson continues with his fine coaching the team should be as great a success as in former years. A few years ago baseball wasn't very popular in the schools but now as the spirit is getting stronger, baseball should turn out to be one of the school's most pop- ular sports. P. P. S.

SQUAD-Robert Greenfield, Edward Husted, Ben Williammee, Hugh Niles, George Pettingill, George Eberenz, Walter Bowen, Richard Bailey, Lane Webster, and Man- ager Harold Wilkinson will compose the squad. The team this year,-although composed of veterans,--will be small and will com- pete largely on the individual basis. A great deal is expected from this squad as the track teams of Wellsboro have always held a very high rating. JOHN S. PEIFER GOLF AND TENNIS Golf and tennis have always been considered minor sports in our school's athletic program. This back seat, as it were, taken by these sports is due almost entirely to two factors, the first and most important thing is the small number of pupils involv- ed. Teams in these sports require so few men. Then too, there is no adequate place for these players to practice or engage in tournaments. The available tennis courts are not in shape until after the close of school in the spring and the use of the golf course is limited to members. Four years ago Mr. Oberholtzer stimulated interest in these sports. He was par- ticularly anxious that golf be made a part of the Athletic Associations program because he felt that we had a winner in Bob Grosjean. The wisdom of his judgment is now clear for after a brilliant unprofessional season Bob is now the pro. at the Country Club. Bob's enthusiasm in golf was transferred to many of the other boys in the high school, so that Donald Rexford followed Grosjean by placing third in the state com- petition of high school golfers at State College last spring. Don must have been a good player because as a freshman at Temple he won the college tournament, an un- usual achievement for a freshman and one in which we justly take pride. In tennis there have been no outstanding players. This is probably due to a lack of opportunity for individual development. The players have been enthusiastic enough but their enthusiasm seems to have no effect in bringing about an early spring, and con- sequent dry oourtsg hence playing is limited almost entirely to the summer season and early fall. The golf squad has elected Robert Roby as its manager and captain. Matches are expected with Mansfield, Williamsport, Towanda and Lewisburg. The men who re- ported to the flrst practice are all listed as members of the squad. Their names follow: Robert Roby, John Smith, Theodore Patt, Donald Townsend, Donald Smith, Wilbur Wetherbee, Charles Mosher, Leland Smith, Wilmon Wetherbee. The tennis squad selected Ellsworth Roberts as its captain and manager. They plan to have matches with the same schools as the golf team, with the addition of Coudersport, Milton and Watsontown. The players who elected Robert their captain were: Carl Carson, Robert Dutcher, Robert Bastian, Richard Bailey, Robert Conevery, Bernard Glennon, William Stenzhorn and Warren Spencer. C. R.

Our teachers and schoolmates have all done their share To make these the years we shall cherish thru life. We've learned when we meet with some trouble or care To challenge it gaily, undaunted by strife. The hopes we have found, the plans we have made We carry arway as We turn to depart, But of Wellsboro High School the memory can't fade, It's written too deeply, a. thing of the heart. I938'NESSMUK 'T DANIEL BOONE This romantic operetta is constructed around the figure of Daniel Boone, the mighty pioneer. With the exception of Tabitha McSplinter, every character is historical, and with the exception of the pretended proposal between Samuel and Jemima, every incident is authentic. When the operetta opens, Daniel Boone, Richard Callaway, Flanders Callaway, Samuel Henderson and John Holder are at the Blue Licks getting salt. The women are waiting with anxious hearts for their return. Samuel is very much in love with Betsy but is too bashful to ask for her hand. Jemima offers to help Samuel by letting him rehearse his lines with her. Flanders, seeing the rehearsal, thinks Jemima is in love with Samuel instead of himself. Soon after the men return from the Blue Licks, Cornstalk comes to warn Boone that some of the Indian tribes are on the warpath. He and Flanders offer to go as hostages to the settlers' fort at Mount Pleasant. Squire Boone arrives and announces that the Declaration of Independence has been signed and that the country would be called the United States of America. Flanders appears bringing the news of Cornstalk's death. White men have killed him and his Indians are now on the warpath. Jemima, Frances, and Betty go boating and are captured by some Indians. A group of the men form an expedition and go to search for the girls. When they return safe and sound, John and Frances, Samuel and Betsy, Flanders and Jemima, and Pogue and Tabitha are married by Squire Boone. Because the operetta could not be given until May the sixth, no pictures were taken. However, under the supervision of Mrs. Kathryn McClintock, Miss Jane Farwell, director of dances, and Miss Margaret Oorliss, accompanist, the success of the operetta was assured.

Green Gables is the home of lovable Matthew Cuthbert and his stern sister, Marilla Cuthbert. Marilla has never been known to thaw out. No- body suspects that beneath her hard exterior there lurks a soft and tender heart. When Matthew iiially decides to adopt an orphan boy to help with his farm work, Marilla grudlngly consents. Through a rattle-brained friend of theirs, one Nancy Spencer, they agree to take a boy from The Hopeton Orphanage. Marllla makes ready to receive the boy and Matthew drives to the station to get him. Imagine his consternation whe.1 he finds little Anne Shirley waiting for him! There has been a mistake and Anne has been sent to Green Gables instead of the expected boy. There is nothing else to do but to take Anne home and let her stay, at least overnight. But from the instant Anne reaches Green Gables, she becomes such a vital part of lt, that at last even Marilla, just to please Matthew, of course, finally consents to her staying. The comedy that ensues through Anne's many unfortunate mistakes caused by her all too vivid imagination, her loyalty to Matthew and Marllla, her attachment for her bosom friend, Diana Barry, her feud with Gilbert Blythe, the wealthiest boy in town, the episode of Ma.ri1la's old amethyst brooch and many more heart-warming incidents are finely woven into this play. The cast of characters is as follows: Anne Shirley, an imaginative little orphan ..................... ..... Ma ry Wilcox Florence Remse-n, Superintendent of The Hopeton Orphanage Minnie Stearn, an attendant at the orphanage .............. ..., Mrs. Alexander Spencer, who has a difficult time talking --- Matthew Cuthbert, Anne's champion and kindred spirit -- Marilla Cuthbert, his sister, who refuses to thaw out ....
