Fremont has a car of his own tif you can call it thatj. He needs it because he comes all the way from the sticks. The class gets a big kick out of his arguments with Mr. Lantz. Dizzy has our sympathy for not being able to learn anything since he left Douglass and lfVeiser. HELEN REBIDCC X AWLIST XD1 Snapp I uss Oh, my operation Did someone mention Frackville? Oh, yes, it must have been Helen. Helen is deeply interested in Frackvilleg at least, Labon comes from there. She wants to be a nurse 5 then, per- haps, she will learn more about her operation. Good luck, Snap. MARJORIE LUCY BARKER Marge D0n t get pers0m1l Marge seems to be very ticklish at times, which proves why she is the champion giggler of the class. Wlienever you. see Marge she is either telling a joke or laughing at one just told to her. Marge seems to be pretty well booked on the Senior boys. At least, she helped Dot Fox a great deal with the boys' Writeups.

There were 62 ot us then, guided only by tl1e Spirit of --J joy. During this year the sopho- mores gave us a party to initiate us, and in- sisted upon playing all sorts of jokes on us tl1e entire year. Because of our good spirit, we al- lowed them to do this, for we knew that most of us would be sophomores a11d could do the sa111e things to the others tl1e next year. At the end of the freshman year there were eleven who left our class for one reason or another. Some went to other schools, a few had to stop to work at home, and others complained that the work was too hard. Thus our class dwin- dled from 62 to 51. By tl1e beginning of our sophomore year our class had grown rapidly in wisdom and physi- cal strength, our one ambition being to occupy the stronghold that the sophomores had for- merly held. Duriug the year we repeatedly harassed and annoyed tl1e freshmen, as the sophomores had done to us. Sometiine through- out the year we organized ourselves into a class and chose from among the wisest Lewis Keller for president, and called ours tl1e Class of IQ3I.H Later in the year the athletic fever struck our class. Some of us were on the track team, while others were on tl1e basket ball team. VVe were so athletic minded that we an- swered questions in class in athletic terms. Among tl1e best on the athletic lield were VVil- bur jones, XfValter jones, George Fessler, Ken- neth Reber, Fremont Alderman, and lra tireth. In our junior year we again settled down to businessf ?j. We had a new student, jake Heinz, of Cleveland. in the class, to whom we gave a rousing welcome. ln this year the road became more perilous, because as we grew older the by-paths of pleasure tempted us more often. But we managed to keep on the right path, so our class moved on. .During our year as juniors we assembled some of our talent and presented to tl1e public a play, The .Deacon's Honeymoon. In the midst of a lot of fun, a very dear member of our class, Kenneth tiring. passed away. VVe all lNOLlI'l1Ctl a loss, and have missed hi111 ever since our parting. NVe sin- cerely regret his leaviug us. and will always re- member him as one of the Class of A'3I.

GRING UR graduation is 11lZ1l'I'CCl by only one thing-the fact that we have lost such a splendid classmate at tl1e hand of death. Now, more than ever, we miss him. There is no one in our class who did not think of him as a kind and dear friend. VVe remember his sunny smile, his willingness, his ability. As we see his empty chair, we feel sorry that we have been denied tl1e privilege of having him with us on this great occasion. 1 1 L Y 1
