In the beginning was created our class like unto a green seed which is planted in the ground. 2. Darkness was upon our faces and our minds were without form and void. 3. The faculty said: Let there be light, and there was lightg and the darkness passed from before our faces and our minds were enlightened. 4. And it was said: Let all ye be gathered together and elect for your- selves rulers. For behold leaders shall reign in righteousness and assistants shall rule with judgment, and they shall be as models before the counte- nances of their followers. 5. Thus did we and it came to pass that the highest of these rulers was one Robert Pfenning and his chief as- sistant was Neil Pascoe, while James Acton writ in our records and Charles Elliott kept guard over our coins. 6. And so the roots were firmly em- planted in the ground of knowledge. ' Q E CHAPTER 2 The Sprouting 1. And thefroots were ministered unto and nurtured with care. 2. And so the tree began to sprout. 3. And with our increase of wisdom we chose to have dominion over us: Harrison Sales, Charles Elliott, Hazel Cromarty and Dorothy Bates. 4. And the second year was good and the tree was grown. CHAPTER 3 The Budding 1. And so our knowledge grew and flowered like unto the budding of a tree. 2. And again we sat in consultation over choice of our leaders. 3. And it came to pass that they were Harry Mellor, Charles Elliott, Hazel Cromarty and james Acton. 4. Our minds were Hourishing un- der proper tutelage and soon our wis- dom and Various talents showed them- selves forth. 5. And it came to pass in the last days of the .year that we tendered un- to our elders a most joyous reception, celebrating their entrance unto a larger sphere with song and dance. 6. And it was exceeding good. 7. Thus passed the third year and the tree was in full bloom. -..gg 3 ine 1928 Les Memozres -Q42 , ,, CHAPTER 4 T110 Hearing of Fruit 1. Thence grows the tree unto its full heritage. 2. Upon Howard Hick, Robert Pfenning, Annetta Schirner and Har- ry Mellor hath been bestowed the hon- or of leading the class now fifty-six strong. 3. Song and dance have this time celebrated our passing into another world, afforded by the Thanksgiving Dance, Leap Year Dance and the Alumni and junior Receptions. 4. Entertainment has been provided in the form of Stop Thief, Wfind- , --- -. , ,V -,- , .Bin- mills of Holland, and Tell It to Sweeneyf' 5. It is said, Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. So we, mourning for days gone by, were comforted by that great event, our trip to XVashington. 6. just as a tree bringeth forth fruit, so hath wisdom filled our minds with an abundance of rich treasures and so hath she sent us out unto the highest places of the cities and thus the end comes to all. 7. Yea, verily, I say unto you, clap ye your hands and be ye joyful all ye of the faculty, for the class of 1928 is about to pass from before thine eyes. Selah! g .

We don't blame you for looking twice at this handsome Senior. Lesh is a well-known member of the Class, but he especially distinguished him- self in the Senior Play. He has not told us what he intends to do after he graduates, but whatever it is, we feel sure that he will be a success, and We wish him lots of luck. JAMES ACTON zcjims! Class Secretary lg Treasurer 23 Orchestra 1, 2, 33 Football 2, 3. Look down in the orchestra pit and behold this young man blowing Hump-ahsl' through a brass horn almost as big as himself. This is our good friend, Jim, who expects to succeed Zarbatany in the gro- cery business. We learned something else very in- teresting about James in Problems Class. James expects to buy his home and furnish it completely before he asks the right girl the important question. Step right up, girls, and set your caps! EARL! C. ANDREWS Student Council 3: Board of Activities 43 Foot- ball 2, 3, 43 Basketball 1, 2, 33 Captain, Basket- ball Team 4: Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. Earl has been a favorite with both teachers and students for the last four years. He is an exception- ally bright student and an excellent athlete. The fact that his election to the Board of Activities was unanimous shows what his classmates think of him. Good luck and happiness, Earl! -..-:gf 10 Ea..- 726 1928 Les fwemozres +451 B R+ HAROLD R. ANDREWS Harold believes that one famous athlete is enough for one family to have in one class, and therefore he has been content to let Earl carry off the family laurels. However, Harold is a silent rooter for the teams, and is always present when Earl is perform- ing. We predict that Harold will some day be silent partner in Andrew Brothers business concern. DOROTHY V. BATES ccD,0t1: 0 Class Treasurer 2: G'rls' Basketball Managrr 4: Echo Staff -lg Les lllemoires Staffg Senior Play: Glee Club 3, 4. Dorothy has only been with us for three years but in that time she has made many friends. Dot ably filled the position of Treasurer in our Sophomore year and Basketball Manager during the past sea- son. Dorothy also served on the 'fEcho and Year Book staffs. She made a big hit in the Senior Play, too. Dorothy tells us that she intends to be a nurse and we are sure that if she is as good a nurse as she is a student she will be a very good one indeed. We all wish her lots of happiness. ARTHUR BOYER tAA,7.t!7 Hi-Y Club 3, 4: Glec Club 3, 43 Operetta? SGFCOI' Play. Vet is it? 'Why this is Mynheer Hertogenbasch, of the Hertogenbasch Town Band. Can we ever forget Art as the Dutch Farmer in the operetta? He certainly took his part well then, especially his vocal selections, and again he demonstrated his won- derful dramatic ability as the thief in Stop Thief. We never knew Art had so much theatrical talent, until we saw him this year in these pro Andwfmm knows but that we lnayfseelriin' the future, not as an amateur performer b1 a pro fessional? -msg 11 ha..- FRANCIS O CAPURO The 1928 L flwzmozlres A NEI A ' ' ,f 'BN2 ANDREW BROWN 4rAb7:eJJ Hi-Y Club 3, -1: Baseball Manager 43 Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 43 Glce Club 4. Here is another one of our exceptionally great mu- sicians. We would not be a bit surprised if some day we would see a sign in town reading something like this, Andrew Brown, Violin and Theory. An- drew has always proved to be one of the good stu- dents of the class, and if he gets gyped once in a while, it's because the teachers don't appreciate real genius. Abie has been an excellent Baseball Manager and who knows but that he may some day manage Lafayette's baseball team? Franny Yes, this serious-looking boy is Mr. Capuro him- self. Francis is that rare exception, a quiet boy in the class of 1928. Francis has taken the business course, and as far as we can learn, he always at- tends strictly to his own business. This is a fine trait, Francis. Remember Coolidge and then go ahead! ARTHUR CORRIGAN Horatius Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Pause here and behold our second Fritz Kriesler. Every one in Wilson High knows Arthur's ability as a violinist. Is he not a member of the Easton Symphony Orchestra? Arthur has been one of the quiet boys in the class of 1928 all during his high school career, but we suppose he is one of those persons who says little but thinks much. 12 fa-- The 1 , , 1928 Les Jllezzzozrcs +5 ' - - - -K+ 47, - FLORENCE M. CRESSM AN After four years of association with Florence, we have learned to love and appreciate this quiet, unas- suming classmate of ours. She has shown her great- est ability in the business department and expects to continue in the business world. Who knows what hidden possibilities lie beneath her quiet personality? 4 I EVELYNE EARLES HAZEL E. CROMARTY Haz'ie lflcho Staff 45 Glee Club 2, 3, 4-3 Girl Reserves 4: Class Secretary 3, 43 Debating Club 3: Sm-nior 1'layg Operetta. Hazel is the beauty of our class and, as in the case of the immortal Sylvia, is as kind as she is fair. Hazel was almost married in the Senior Play and we know that some day a certain young man will have a lovely bride. Your many friends wish you the best of luck and every happiness, Hazel, whether in a musical career or in the higher vocation. And, oh! yes! we overheard a lady at the Operetta saying that Hazel is just as lucky as Robert. Los Mslnioires Staff: Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 43 Girl Reserves 43 Basketball 33 Glee Club 4. Evelyne is another of our girls who intends to enter the teaching profession. With her charming, fun-loving personality, we are sure she will succeed in this line of work, but we hope she will not allow her literar talents to become rusty They are too y . preciglrs to be forgottenswgeniember, Evelyne Ea..- l 4 Wie 1928 Les Xwemozlres -++3' if - Y 1 7 - Y E+ MARGUERITE EISBERG xzpeggysr Cheer Leader 1, 23 Echo and Les Memoires Typistg Operetta. Peggy is our champion typist. It was no unusual thing to hear Miss Kline say, Marguerite, I have another pin for you. She also showed her ability as a typist in her work on the Echo and LES MEM- OIRES Staffs. We do not know what Peg intends to do after leaving school, but we are confident that if she enters the business world she will be a suc- cess. Egg.- LILLIAN L. EDDLESTON 4cLq:Zy!J Echo Staff 1, 2: Editor-inCh1ef Echo 4 Les Mernoires Staff 45 President Girl Reserves 4 Captain, Debating Team 33 Senior Play Lillian is one of the outstanding members of the class of '28. Endowed with an enviable intelligence, she has made good use of it by l1v1ng on her W1tS for the last four years. She enlivens the dullest class with her humor and whenever we see her com ing, we know we are going to have some fun She gets more enjoyment out of an argument than any one we know, and it is almost impossible to van quish her. She follows Polonius advice and grap ' ples her friends to her, not with hooks of steel but with her charming smiles. CHARLES E. ELLIOTT 'iChat Class Treasurer 15 Vice-President 2 3 Football 2, 3, 4: Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball 2 3 4 Long after Chet leaves Wilson his wonderful athletic abilities will be talked of and many are the small seventh and eighth grade boys who will look at his picture and say, Gael I wish I could play football the way Charles Elliott did Will we ever forget Chet rushing down the field with the pig skin tucked safely under his arm for another touchdown? Charles certainly has helped to put Wil son High School on the map as far as athletics are concerned, not only in football but 1n basketball and baseball, too. We are all proud of Charles can you blame us? Here's to health, wealth, and happiness, Chet, in the years to come Tile 1928 Les ftwemozres ,H ee.e K+ 'Q , RALPH EWAN Hail the Champion! The champion what? Why the champion salesman of Ford cars. Everyone in Problems Class knows what a staunch friend Ralph is to Henry Ford. Of course, one would expect nothing less of one engaged in selling Ford cars. Ralph has never been very fond of studying, but always manages to get through the day with little or no trouble at all. He is always popular with the girls, so what more could he want? Ralph is liked by all, and the class is proud to have him as a member. 4 VIOLET M. FERRY MARIAN FABEL Senior Glee Club Pianist. Marian is worthy of much praise because of her excellent work as pianist of the Glee Club. There is no doubt that Marian became exasperated at re- hearsals fespecially Operetta practicesy when she had to sit and pound on the keys for the benefit of the cast. To her faithful and untiring efforts we must attribute much of the success of the Operetta. Even though Marion has much musical talent it looks as if she were going to follow a business career, as she intends to enter Churchman's Busi- ness College. Whatever her life work may be we extend our best wishes for a successful career. Echo and Les Memoircs Typist: Glee Club 3: Treasurer, Glce Clubg Operettag Senior Play. Violet is the little, blue-eyed blonde who giggles so much. Her sense of humor is almost overpower- ing. But she can work, and work well, when she wants to. She is one of the best typists in the class and is also possessed of much dramatic ability. As Joan, in the Senior play, she scored a big hit. Her success in the businessworld is assured, for with such a charming personality, 'angiffcaiindt fail. 15 The 1928 Les 1mmOl?CS +51 , , Y gg., HELEN M. FRACE Glee Club 3, 4. Helen surely deserves to be called one of the sweetest girls in the Senior Class. With her quiet, gentle manner, she has won the hearts of all her classmates and her teachers as well. Nothing is too much trouble for her to do, and everything she does is done well. Whatever work she takes up in the years to come will be a success we are sure, and We wish her the best of luck. CHARLOTTE G. FRETZ Charlie Glee Club. Charlotte is a very quiet girl and we don't know much about her. She is an excellent typist and a pleasant companion, even if she is generally a few minutes late. Charlotte plans to be a stenographer and we know she will be successful in her work. SAMUEL R. GRUMER fasamry Sam has labored under a terrible handicap for the last four years. Ill health has caused him to lose much time, and to fall back in his studies. At one time this last year We thought we were going to lose him, but his grit pulled him through his illness, and it was with joy and relief that we welcomed him back into our midst. He has done in seven months the work the rest of us have done in nine. We wish you better health in your later life, than you have had in High School, Sam. 16 gas.- ,pn Y lun.. l ' l The 1928 Les fwemozlres wa- as e as uw EDNA HEFLER Glee Club 4: Girl Resf-1'x'+es. Edna's smile is indicative of her sunny disposi- tion. She is another of Wi1son's quiet girls, but nevertheless she is ready to give a kind word and helping hand to anyone who may need it, With the exception of a very few, no one knows just how musically inclined Edna is. Her mode-st nature keeps her from giving away this informationg but we certainly should like to hear her sing. We hope that sometime in the future we may have this priv- ilege. Just as a little word of warning we will say, Don't be too modest! HOWARD R HICK Oscar IRMA H. HOLTON lovin Glee Club Ii, 4, Debating' Club 33 Les Monmii Staff. Here is the baby of the Senior Class. Irma is Class President 43 Echo Stuff 3: Business Man- ager 4: Football 3, 43 Basketball 2, 3, 43 President Hi-Y Club 3, 45 Senior Play. Howard is noted for his executive ability. He likes to boss the job in hand and has an almost un- canny ability to get other people to do his work for him. The Class of '28 has done more work with Howard at the helm, to preserve order, than it has accomplished in the other three years of its career. Howard is our highest scorer in basketball, too, and he has demonstrated his grit all through the season. He has high ambitions-he wants to Hy! one of the most studious girls in the Class but she finds time to do many things outside of her studies. She has many friends not only among the Seniors, but in the whole High School. Irma is going to Penn State and intends to become a teacher. Who knows-some day Irma may be on the teaching staff 'lrwat Wilson HiglTCSch0ol. Wiwall wish her lm of happiness. -. 17 The 1928 Les Xweznozres My a+ - O' GEORGE F. HOSKING Glee Club. Whoever has taken the business course at Wilson High School is sure to remember George's deep bass voice. George is one of the shining lights of the business section and has always been a good, in- dustrious student. However, it's not all work for Georgeg when there's any fun to be had, he's right there with the goods. ALICE M. HUNT filc-0 Club 3, -lg Echo and Les Momoires Typist: Operetta. Alice has done all of the difficult typing for the Year Book. She has a gift of arrangement that ought to be useful in later years. She is a very jolly girl, and whenever one sees a group of laugh- ing students, Alice is sure to be the center of it. Your classmates wish you a long and laughing life, Alice. CLARE T. JOHNSON xxgumpsvx Athletic Council 1: Hi-Y Club 3, -19 Football 1, 2, ghlfciotbaltl Ciaptain -lg Basketball 1, 2, 3, 43 Base- il , L, ', . You are now gazing upon the countenance of one of the best-natured boys in the High School. Clare has a smile for everyone and his philosophical out- look on life ought to be copied by many pessimists. Clare has played on all the teams in every phase of sport at Wilson High for four years. Besides that he was elected football captain for the 1927 season, a position which he filled in a praise-worthy manner-some record! If we had a Hall of Fame, Clare's picture certainly ought to hang there. We all wish Clare lots of luck and happiness in what- ever work he does in life. -..ggi 18 Eg..- 1928 Les zffemozres 449 . . -- Y - I-3+ KENNETH R.

His intelli- gence is much above normal, though he doesn't make too much use of it. He has a pleasant personality and, with a little effort, should make a great suc- cess of his life. Here's hoping you wake up to your possibilities, Kenneth. ELEANOR LEWIS Echo and Les Memoircs Typist. Eleanor is one of our most charming classmates. She is a very conscientious persong everything she does must be perfect, or else Eleanor will not be satisfied with it. She is as obstinate as the English usually are Qand proud of itlj, but is quite willing to subordinate her own desires to those of her friends. We hope that she will be successful and happy. -..sq 19 Ee..- Loggerhead Senior Play. Yes, that's Harold on the moving van He is a champion truck driver and expects to have his own van some day. When he sets up in business he s going to keep his own books, for hes one of the very few boys in the class who knows anything about bookkeeping. Your classmates hope that youll have your trucks soon, Harold. WILLIAM HAROLD KIES JJ 4 The 1928 L Memozres ++EF .- - 'AE-N' THOMAS F. MAHER a4Tommy:a Echo 45 Les Mernoires 45 Senior Play5 Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 45 Debating Club 4. Thomas was the very successful joke editor of the Echo this year and his department is said to rival Life and College Humor. We shouldn't be sur- prised to see him as editor of one of those mirth- provoking magazines some day. Joking is only one of Tommy's hobbies, however, for he has played in the Orchestra for four years. To look at his pic- ture you would hardly believe that he was the father of three marriageable young ladies-he was though-in the Senior Play, where he scored a big success. He tells us that he is going to Fordham and we are sure that with a green necktie and a little black cap on the back of his head, he will make a typical Frosh. STEPHEN MARHEFKA Steve F0otball,2, 3, 45 Baseball 2, 3, 45 Senior Play. The class humorist, always amusing others, chew- ing gum, and distracting attention from work! That's Steve! He likes good times and pretty girls, and all the girls like him. His virtues are numer- ous, and his work on the football field and in pass- ing out songbooks in 204 makes one forget any faults he may have. FREDRICK D. MARBLEY Fritz Football 3, 45 Baseball 2, 3, 45 Basketball 2, 3, 45 Orchestra 2, 35 Hi-Y Club 45 Les Melnoires Staff. This is Fred, our electrical wizard. We feel sure that he will some day take Thomas Edison's place in that line. Fred has played on the football, base- ball and basketball teams and has proved himself a plucky player and a good sport. He intends to matriculate at Lafayette and we expect to hear more from Fred while there. We predict lots of success for him wherever he goes. 20 The 1928 Les 1 emozres -MH1, ' Y.. Y M 63 RUTH A. MEIXSELL Rufus Echo Staff: Les Memolres Staff: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Girl Reserves 43 Operetta. One couldn't f-'md a finer girl anywhere than Ruth, and we certainly appreciate her. She is always ready to lend a helping hand and has been the savior of the Echo Literary Department all year. Ruth has burned the midnight oil many a time, writing to fill up the required space, the night before the Echo went to the printer. Her literary ability is well known and we hope she will continue to write at Penn State where she will matriculate. We con- sider it a great privilege to call her Friend, HARRY P.

Gaze upon Wilson High School's greatest iinancier! Harry always takes care of our money bags and we expzct that some day he will be a banker. He is very efficient in everything he does. He managed the basketball team very successfully this year and gave the boys an excellent schedule. But it is not as a business man that we know Harry best, but as a love-sick young Dutch- man. Remember Windmills of Holland? Well, we agree with Franz, There are others, plenty others, but there's only one Harry. in Windmills of Holland and in Assembly has de- lighted the entire Student Body and we are glad to know that she intends to continue her musical ed- ucation after leaving High School. Her voice is so captivating that one almost overlooks her work in other fields, but she has always been a conscien- tious student and has worked faithfully on the Year Book. When she makes her debut at the Metro- jylitagn, all her clasfsngesr will be there with love and congratulations. 21 l 4 The 1928 Les fweznozres -mpg' N, j , ,W Y, V- B9-Q future life. WALTER B.

Bob stands at the head of his class in every study and has been a most eilicient circulation man- ager for the Echo. He is a good sport, too, and we all like him very much. Robert is another one of those boys whose innocent expression has saved him from many a scrape. Robert makes a witty remark and looks angelic while his friends laugh. And does Robert get the scolding? Never! Here's to your success, Robert. MARGARET PRIMROSE VENA R. PIPER Pecmut Cheer Leader 43 Basketball 4: I-lcho Typist 33 Les Memoires Typist 4: Senior Play: Operetta. Vena is the smallest member of the Senior Class but what she lacks in size she makes up in volume. She's always ready for a good time and will argue at any time of the day-or night. As a cheer leader, she is a noisy success. When she says, Now, yell! we yell our loudest, for there's no use disagreeing with her. If Vena is as enthusiastic in everything she undertakes as she is in cheer leading, we know she will be successful. Glee Club, Margaret was always taught that children should be seen and not heard and she's about the only mem- ber of the class of 1928 who really believes it.

Her unusual ability has manifested itself in many ways. This Les Memoiresf' which is the best in the history of the school, is for the most part the product of her brain and efforts. In the editing of it, she has shown ex- ecutive and literary ability, rarely found in a high school student fand it took no little executing to collect the boys' horoscopesj. We expect Annetta to carry off first honors and we congratulate her on her fine scholastic record. A girl with her pleasing personality, her clear thinking, her power to make others work and her infinite capacity for taking pains, cannot be anything but successful in life. KENNETH A.

One of Kenneth's well known hobbies is the driving of Chrysler cars. In fact one cannot think of him without thinking of automobiles-why he was even a chauffeur in the Senior Play! We don't know what Kenneth is going to do when he leaves High School, but we think that he would make a very good auto salesman. bert. His strong voice came in handy though when there were cheers to be led. This picture does not show his grin or freckles to advantage but don't let it fool you-because they are there.

After such a varied career don't be sur- prised to hear that Herbert wants to be a chemist.

INDMILLS QF HOLLANDQ, the first operetta to be produced in lV1lSOH High School, was a huge success. A well-drilled cast performed their parts excellently, against one of the most charming backgrounds ever seen on our stage. It is rather difficult to single out any one member of the cast for special commendatlon, but Arthur Boyer was probably the biggest hit of the evening. Hrs last song, in Wl'11Cl1 he was joined by Paul Dieffenderfer, was encored again and again. Another song that was very much liked was the duet, There Are Qthersf' sung by Harry Mellor and Ruth Bachman. The ensemble, XYindmills of Holland Are Turning, was very effective and opened and closed the performance in a fitting manner. The principal parts Were taken by Arthur Boyer, Arlene Mertz, Hazel Cro- marty, Ruth Bachman, Harry Mellor, Vtfilliam Kane, Paul Dieffenderfer and Naomi Niper. The choruses were made up of members of the Senior Glee Club. It is doubtful if the High School Orchestra has ever played as well as they did at the Operetta. The music was well fitted for the type of Orchestra we have and the rendition of it was a credit, both to the musicians and to their con- ductor, Mr. Albert S. Erb. To Miss Gertrude Cook, Instructor of Music in the Borough Schools, goes the credit for the music of the production. Miss Laura Cline instructed the dancers and coached the dramatic part of the Operetta. Mr. ul. B. XYooehrle, Miss Alberta Cline, and Mrs. Taylor were responsible for the scenery, and the Glee Club takes this opportunity to thank them for their assistance. --.gg 3 6 Et..- Front Row-Left to Right: Kocher, Yahraes, Earles, Niper, Rubin, Aagaard, Koch, Young.

The season ended with the best banquet ever given to the football squad, by the Mothers' Activity Club. Speakers of the evening included many prominent men of the Lehigh Valley.

The cheering was at its best during the football' season and reached its highest point at the P'burg Parochial game. Boy, what cheering that Was! While the improvement in the cheering was due to the cheerleaders, the im- provement in the cheerleaders was due to Mr. Atwell Thomas, Faculty Manager of Athletics.

Those who ever had dreams of a Junior Glee Club saw them become a reality this year when that Glee Club was organized. Great enthusiasm was shown by the pupils of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades at the prospect of having a club of its own. After the Glee Club was organized the roll showed a membership of between fifty and sixty students. Marion Trach was elected Secretary and Beatrice Jones, Treasurer. Miss Cook again showed her initiative in molding this band of willing work- ers into an excellent Glee Club. This club, like the Senior Club, gave its first performance at the Teachers' Institute. Because of its good work they were ap- plauded time and again. Then again at Christmas time, in conjunction with the Senior Club, the Junior Club showed its ability at the Candle Light Service. Their Christmas Carols were well received by the appreciative audience that filled the spacious auditorium. VVe are confident that those who were fortunate enough to be members of the Junior Glee Club will do much for the Senior Glee Club when they have advanced that far. --.gf 48 Egg..- Senior Glee Club OR the second successive year VVilson High School has had a Glee Club of which she may well be proud. The successful season through which the club has just passed is due to the faithful and untiring efforts of its leader, Miss Gertrude Cook. g The Gle-e Club organized the latter part of September, and elected officers: Violet Ferry, Treasurer, and Arlene Mertz, Secretary. New music was pur- chased and rehearsals were conducted twice a week. The Senior Club made its first appearance in October at the Northampton County T eachers' Institute, at which time a creditable performance was given. The Club also appeared several times during the year at the school assemblies. Cn December 22, 1927, the Glee Club again showed its ability in conducting the Candle Lightu Service in the VVilson Auditorium. This proved to be one of the most beautiful and impressive Christmas services ever held in this part of the community, as was shown by the favorable comments heard about it.

It has the names of forty-eight girls on its roll. Meetings were held every Thursday, either at the Y or at the High School. The most important event for the year was the Mid-Wintei' Conference, held at Wilkes-Barre. Five girls attended this,-and besides receiving many good sug- gestions, had the honor of hearing Abbie Graham speak. Several parties were held during the year and inter-club basketball games were played. Archery, Art, Tennis, Basketball and Swimming are some of the things that may be taken up. Now the girls are looking forward to this summer when Vlfaurenga Lodge will be open for them to use whenever they want it. AERGNAUTICAL CLUB An Aeronautical Club was formed this y-ear under the direction of Mr. Brown and Mr. VVoehrle. This club meets every Tuesday afternoon and studies the con- struction of model aeroplanes. The boys intend to build a number of models with rubber-band motors, and later, hold a contest to determine the best one. The club is composed of about thirty-tive boys from the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh grades and the officers are as follows: President, Harold Kochg Vice- President, Conrad Hummelg Secretary, Raymond Capurog Treasurer, Paul Dief- fenderfer. BAND The VVilson Borough Civic Association sponsored the formation of a High School Band this year. They purchased uniforms and furnished competent in- structors. The students showed that they appreciated the interest taken in them by the Association and turned out in large numbers to join the Band. Mark Davis, '23, was in charge of the general rehearsals and will lead the Band at its future public appearances. 50 Et..- like 1928 Les fwemozies .Mg , I I , I I , , gp.
