OUR LGVERS September 13, 1936 Dear Diary, Today, we of the Biology Club will take the first of our field trips through Stackhouse Park. There will be a wonderful chance to learn to differentiate be- tween various kinds of wild flowers, trees, insects, and ferns. I am sure all of us will become great lovers of nature. I have always enjoyed walking through the woods, and now I can learn something new on. each trip. As part of the work, we will help Miss Canan make a map of the ferns found in the Park. September 20, 1936 We had a wonderful time this afternoon on our field trip, and were we thrilled with our new discoveries! We found many wild flowers, some insects, and some ferns for Miss Cananls map. Those we found are rather abundant. They are the spiney wood, boulder, New York, and Christmas ferns. In quite a few areas we found the cinnamon, interrupted, sensitive, and lady ferns. Am I getting good on ferns! Just wait, diary, until I go hiking with the gang again, won't I show them something? September 27, 1936 Well, we are progressing! Today we found maidenhair, marginal, silvery spleenwort, and broad beech fernsg the latter are rather scarce in our Park. We found also the Goldies' fern which is a rare species in the entire state. I used to walk through the Park scarcely seeing anything, but now I am so careful where I step that sometime I'm going to break my neck trying not to step on a jack- in-the-pulpit. November 3, 1936 Did you know that the silvery spleenwort found in the Stackhouse Park is the only speciman in Cambria County? Well, neither did I, but our club sent a speciman we found to Carnegie Museum, and it seems our judgment was cor- rect. I am proud that I helped to find it. In the spring we are going to study birds. From now on I am going to keep my eyes open. I never realized how much I was missing until I started hunt- ing and Hseeingl' with the Biology Club.

f-ae February 14, 1937 The Yodler Dance to-night was an evening of fun and frolic. Bob Waters' orchestra was tops , and the attractive red and White' decorations made the gym- nasium a beautiful scene. Some odd combinations were brought together in the Broken Heart dance. Everyone thought the Lonely Heart dance quite a novel idea. February 17, 1937 The play committee has decided on Twelfth Night as our class play. All the would-be actors are wondering who will get the leads, each one hoping for some small part. Try-outs will be held next Monday. The committees for the Easter Dance and the Prom were announced. March 27, 1 937 The Spring Swing. A full moon, an excellent orchestra and everyone in new Easter gowns made this one grand evening. We juniors seem to be very suc- cessful in scoring such delicious , delightful , de lovely dances that every- one enjoys. May 7, 1937 A night of all nights for us juniors-the junior play, Twelfth Night . Our Shakesperean actors and actresses acted in sixteenth century costumesg Howard Ideson and Virginia Wright being the romantic loversg Gustave Margo- lis and Jean Ann Evans furnishing the comedyg dances and attendants making the play a noteworthy production. May 21, 1937 The Junior-Senior-ithe evening we had anticipated for three years came to-night. It was a beautiful affair-the orchestra, the' lights, the long dresses, the flowers and decorations. The seniors thought it was the most splendid af- fair of the year. JUNIOR GIRLS Brickner, Ruth Davis, Dorothy Pikovsky, Dorothy Rosenberger, Rita Finklestein, Mary Estelle Gilroy. Mar- Horner.

7 Recorded by Leah Rodstein and Marilyn Griffith September 4, 1936 Dear Diary, A Yodler meeting was called to-day- unusual since Monday is the day for the Yodler staff to sprout worry lines and to go to work. The special rush was in prep- aration for the first issue of the Yodler, which goes to press tomorrow. Every- thing was rushed through, last minute ar- ticles received the ,final signature, and the dummy was arranged. Since we- are all YODLER EXECUTNES optimistic as a seed catalogue, we predict Standing Sara Lou Daley. Barbara Murdock, a favorable reaction to this issue from the Rita Finkelstein, William Price. Seated Howard Ideson. Leah Rodstein. Student September 25, 1936 To-day in our regular assembly the Yodler staff launched a campaign for Yodler subscriptions. It was our purpose to convince the students that the most of the best for the least was worth thirty-five cents. The scene of our skit was laid in a park in which an edition of the Yodler was distributed as a sur- prise. The miniature play was evidently a success, as it resulted in a flow of subscriptions for the paper. November 14, 1936 The business department was a little financially embarrassed, so we had a rummage sale and came out a little worn but with colors fiying. We' made twelve dollars, enough to pay some bills without disturbing our growing bank account. April 16, 1937 Returning to the job of writing articles seems much easier now that the Yodler Dance lifted a debt from our shoulders. This year we are going to break the tradition of letting the sophomores put out the two final editions. The last issue, intended to be the prime of our efforts, will be one devoted to graduation. The theme will be a comparison of the 1927 and 1937 graduating classes.
