Vice-President, Charles Davis. Secretary, Betty Beck. Historian, Jane Trude. Faculty Adviser, Mr. Peiffer. Sergeant-at-Arms, William Swigart. Advisory Board, Guy Pandolfino, Nancy Pandolfino, Bernice Heffner, Ann Rhodes, Max Simpson, Thomas Shumaker, Margaret Jacobs, and Elizabeth MacNamara. According to the old adage, "Mighty oaks from little acorns grow." The question is: Have we who, in the fall of 1929, budding as small sprouts, succeeded in growing into gracious and fruitful trees of wisdom? Have we used to the best of our knowledge and power the life-giving tutelage that our teachers have bestowed upon us? An acorn has no power whatsoever over its own growth; if placed in a climate unfavorable to it, it will remain dormant and of no use. We have the power, however, of improving our unfavorable conditions and eliminating the devastating frost of indolence, unsuccessful effort and carelessness. Little was done in our Freshmen year with the exception that, in April, we organized our nursery with the following results: President, John Philip Steiner. Vice-President, Charles Davis. Secretary, Eleanor Wright. Historian, Jane Trude. Sergeants-at-Arms, Blair Sponeybarger, Steele Swope. Faculty Adviser, Miss Juniatta Miller. Advisory Board, Jane Warfel, William Swigart, Thomas Shumaker, Vivian Bowman, Eugene Shore, Hubert Hall, Kathryn Scalia, Grant Leighty. In the Sophomore year, approximately one hundred and forty rollicking young saplings weathered successfully the storm of a school year. Officers for this year were: President, John Philip Steiner. Vice-President, William Todd. Secretary, Eleanor Wright. Historian, Jane Trude. Faculty Adviser, Miss Mary Grove. Sergeants-at-Arms, Jack Bert, Blair Sponeybarger. Advisory Board, Robert Bayer, Betty Beck, Jane Warfel, Catherine Rodgers, William Swigart, Dorothy Watson, Laurabelle Ryan, and Grant Leighty. We proved ourselves to be at the top by heading the Honor Roll on more than one occasion. The big event of the Sophomore year was the dance held at Number 2 Fire Engine House under the direction of Miss Mary Grove. By the third year of our growth, we had metamorphosed from a supple, pliant plant into the prediction of the sturdy upright individuals we were to become. We elected early this year the following officers: President, John Philip Steiner. Vice-President, Robert Bayer. Secretary, Eleanor Wright. Historian, Jane Trude. Sergeant-at-Arms, Steele Swope. Faculty Adviser, Miss Mary Grove. Advisory Board, Adaline Morelli, Ann Rhodes, Guy Pandolfino, Nancy Pandolfino, Dorothy Watson, Thomas Shumaker, Bernice Heffner, and Margaret Jacobs. During the Junior year the colors, Green and White, were chosen by the class and the flower, The Red Rose. As its motto, the class chose, "Climb Though the Way Be Hard." The Junior Prom was a huge success as far as attendance, mirth, and hilarity were concerned. Held at the Country Club, June 8, it provided an opportunity for dancing and card playing. We also held two other dances which were acclaimed successful. One hundred and fourteen full grown trees stretched their arms to the sun. They have attained the intellectual stature for which their eager limbs have reached. For in the Girls' Choral Club, the Boys' Glee Club, the Orchestra, the Band and the Dramatic Club, the Seniors have been amply represented. As for athletics, we can be sure that the vacancies left by the departing Seniors will be hard indeed to fill. The teams have enjoyed successful seasons and never-to-be-forgotten good times. One of the outstanding activities of this year was the class play, "Oh! Professor!" The play was directed by Mr. Benholtz and proved a great attainment for the Seniors. Thus, at the end of four years of high school development, our one hundred and fourteen oaks are ready to withstand the stormy blasts of life. May success came. to them and may the strong virility which they have built up during their growth here, remain with them forever! Class Song "Thy Honor, Thy Glory" Words by Adaline Morelli Thy honor, thy glory, is Ever in our, hearts. Dear Alma Mater, we'll sing to you Though we be far apart. We'll cherish fond mem'ries Of dear old high school's ways, Should old acquaintance be forgot To those of coming days. Though courage may fail us, our Knowledge will remain Of all the things for which we've worked, And strived so hard to gain. Thy honor, thy glory, We'll sing to you anew, NINETEEN THIRTY-THREE bids adieu; Believe us, we love you.

MASK AND WIG CLUB The budding actors and actresses of the Mask and Wig Club have finished the third successful year under the direction of Mr. Brenholtz. The Club was organized in October, 1932, and the following officers were elected: Charles Donelson, President. Dorothy Watson, Vice-President. Thelma Coffman, Secretary. Fred Snyder, Treasurer. Charles Thompson, Reporter. During the year the Club gave three plays. The first of these was "Creepy Crest." A professor comes to an old house to write a thesis and is persuaded by his daughter to write a detective story. While at this old house they solve the disappearance of the owner of the house. The characters were: Prof. Penn, Harold Patterson; Mrs. Penn, Irene Peightal; their daughter, Helen Bergstresser; farmer, Robert Bayer; May Wills, Mary Stafford; Susie Moore, Hazel Corbin; Mr. Bugg, Fred Snyder, Lizzie Bugg, Nancy Meade. The second of these productions was a health play, "The Marriage Shop." Wm. Swigart and Dolly Sherman tried to buy a wife and husband respectively, but were jilted when the perfect models walked out on them and got married. Madame Nature, the storekeeper, was played by Thelma Coffman. The perfect models were Jean Kyper and Charles Thompson. The other models were Ann Morningstar, Laurena Pinezotto, Charles Donelson and Fred Snyder. The third play was "The Blue Bag." This play deals with a foolish bet to obtain a Blue Bag and some jewels smuggled into the country in a Blue Bag. The characters were as follows: Anton McDonald, Charles Donelson; his chauffeur, Ray Reuse; Chattanooga Elvira Livermore, the maid, Marie Shearer; Allan Ross and Enid Lauton, who are eloping, Edward Hatfield and Ann Morningstar; Letty Long, the actress, Thelma Coffman; Obediah Macklyn, Fred Snyder; Cindy Macklyn, Marie Norris; Bill Harrington, a U. S. Sheriff, Ned Johnston. - C. H. D. '34. TRAVEL CLUB [photo] Many of us have neither money nor leisure to visit even a few of the noted places of interest here or abroad. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying the things folks travel far to see, provided we can see through the eyes of others. Nearby, "The Standing Stone of history tells of days gone by" only to those who learn how and where to read these fascinating tales. Then again, those of us who stay at home find increased enjoyment if "Our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything." Thus with a two-fold purpose, the Travel Club to which members of all four classes are eligible, was organized the fifth of December, 1932. At that time the following officers were elected: President, Robert McClain '33. Vice-President, David Snare '34. Secretary, Esther Fouse '35. Treasurer, Eleanor Fouse '35. Faculty Adviser, Miss Longenecker (Math.). During the six months, the Club has spent considerable time in trying to relive the early days of Huntingdon, first with the Indians, then with the original white settlers, through canal days up to the present. Following this actual trips have been described, such as the one to Washington, D. C., which included Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration and the accompanying parade. What to see in cities such as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia has been discussed. Tentative trips to various points of interest have been mapped out. Another feature was a trip to the Hi-Wa-May Caverns near Alexandria. PRESS CLUB [photo] The Press Club was instituted in the Huntingdon High School in October, 1932, under the supervision of Mr. Fouse. It has a three-fold purpose as follows: 1. To give students practical experience in the application of good English composition. 2. To learn the fundamental principles of journalism. 3. To conduct the newspaper publicity for the High School. Each week the members of the Club edited several columns of news articles which were published in the Huntingdon "Daily News" under the heading, "Huntingdon High School News." At various times during the year the Club was privileged to hear speakers during the Club period. These men were experienced journalists, and talked on the subject of newspaper work and journalism. Officers of the Club are: President, Eugene Shore. Vice-President, Blair Sponeybarger. Secretary, Elsie Norris. THE LIBRARY CLUB AND STAFF [photo] "0 for a Booke and a shadie nooke, Eyther in-a-doore or out, With the greene leaves whisp'ring overhede Or the street cryes all about, Where I may Reade all at my ease, Both of the Newe and Olde, For a jollie goode Booke, whereon to looke, Is better to me than Golde." -An Old English Folk Song. Strange people of strange lands, mystic secrets of far-away islands, hidden treasures of ages, long ago, queer incidents of historical figures, commonplace tales of people who might live next door, thrilling deeds of heroic men and women, lovely thoughts of beautiful poetry - all these and many more the Library Club finds, loves, and shares with others. What a glorious time they have doing all sorts of interesting and fascinating things! Making a colonial fireplace in one corner of the Library, an Indian exhibit in another, making posters, solving book jigsaw puzzles, guessing authors and titles of books, finding names to books suggested by pictures, giving plays - this is only a little of the fun that the Library Club has. Miss Lillian Harbaugh, Assistant Librarian of the Juniata College Library, came down two mornings and talked to the Club. She told many interesting incidents of books and library work. Everyone listened spellbound, thrilled by new glimpses into this fascinating world. One afternoon the Club visited the Juniata Library to see the collection of works of knowledge that it contains. Especially interesting was the vault with its old German Bibles, manuscripts, documents, and relics of many years. The girls who help in the Library got very distinguished looking blue felt armbands with red letters L. S. (Library Staff) on a gold open book. It's really a lot of fun to open and "dress" new books with their appropriate possessions, to make posters, to help other people find interesting books, to look up reference questions, and to do the hundred and one other things connected with a library. Anyone who is interested in books and people would enjoy the Library Club. These officers have served this year: First Semester: President, Betty Beck. Vice-President, Mary Ruth Myers. Secretary-Treasurer, Peggy Gump. Second Semester: President, Betty Beck. Vice-President, Mary Stafford. Secretary-Treasurer, Peggy Gump. - M.

IN MEMORIAM Kathryn Meloy Grafton '22 Ellwood Kenyon '26 Edwin Beaver '01 Paul Boyer '09 CHORAL CLUB [photo] BOYS' GLEE CLUB [photo] Of all the organizations in the High School this year, probably the most outstanding is the Boys' Glee Club. The Club was organized soon after school began last September, and has been very active during the whole year. At the first meeting the officers were chosen to be: President, Robert Bayer. Secretary, Blair Sponeybarger. Librarian, Wendell Wear. The boys began immediately to prepare for a concert, to be held during the Thanksgiving season. This was a decided success, and praise for the Glee Club was on the lips of almost everyone who heard it. Soon after this Club began to prepare for the Forensic League contests, and although Prof. Johnson, the leader, had very little hopes of winning anything, the boys in the Club decided to surprise him. This they did, sailing through the county contests with no trouble at all. Receiving the right to enter the district contest, they journeyed to State College, where again they won first place. The winning of the district championship gave them the right to enter the State contest. The boys, with the championship in sight, could not bear to see it fade away, so they buckled down to real work, and through the patience of Mr. Johnson the boys were able to attain a position which was almost perfect. The contests were held in Sunbury on Friday afternoon, April 29, and after a hearty send-off by Mr. Everard, they were on their way. It was rumored that Mr. Johnson nearly fainted when the judges presented him with a silver loving cup, and declared the Huntingdon High School Glee Club to be the State champions. Regretting that they must leave, the Seniors congratulate Mr. Johnson on his achievement, and hope that in the future he will produce many more such glee clubs. - S. B. S. '33. BAND [photo] The band was organized soon after school began last September. At its first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Blair Sponeybarger. Secretary, Charles Davis. Librarian, Wm. Swigart. Assistant Librarian, Ed. Corbin. The band was led by Prof. Johnson, and through his efficient direction we were soon able to play. Mr. Getty taught the boys how to march, but it was of no use, we were not convicts. The band attended every football game at home and every game but one away. The trips to Jersey Shore and Altoona were very colorful, and the band was applauded very enthusiastically for its appearance. The band also played at every home game of the basketball team, furnishing snappy music during intermissions. The band played several times in chapel and in the Thanksgiving concert. The Seniors deeply regret that their presence will be seen no more, but they hope, that the band will steadily grow larger until it has become one of the best in the state. ORCHESTRA [photo] Soon after the opening of school in September, the High School Orchestra, consisting of forty members, assembled for its meeting. This meeting was devoted to the election of officers. The following were chosen: President, William Todd. Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Stafford. Librarian, William Swigart. Assistant Librarian, Samuel Wagner. Under the efficient direction of Prof. Donald Johnson, the Orchestra presented a Thanksgiving Concert in the Auditorium on November 22, in conjunction with the Glee and Choral Clubs. During the football and basketball seasons, ten members of the Orchestra played for the pep meetings held each Friday in Chapel. In the course of the year, the Orchestra presented several chapel programs and furnished the music for the Senior Class Play and the Commencement exercises. The last program of the season was presented as a part of a Musicale, held May 16th, to which the public was invited. The coming year brings prospects of a yet bigger and better High School Orchestra. DEBATE CLUB [photo] President, Ellsworth Shope. Vice-President, Harold Patterson. Secretary, Rachel Port. Treasurer, Thomas Shumaker. Coach, Mr. Fouse. The question for debate this year, as prescribed by the Pennsylvania Forensic and Music League, was: Resolved, That at. least one-half of all state and local revenues should be derived from sources other than tangible property. After the material on the question was collected and the speeches were prepared, try-outs were conducted by Mr. Fouse, and the following teams were selected Affirmative: Paul Casner, Ellsworth Shope, Willis Beckel, Lynn Corcelius. Negative: Harold Patterson, Arthur Neary, Samuel Wagner, Thelma Whitesel. The teams had a schedule of interscholastic debates and were successful in winning seven out of eight. Both the affirmative and the negative teams competed with the opposite teams of the schools with which debates were held. They are as follows: Broad Top Twp. vs. H. H. S., won 2. Saxton vs. H. H. S., won 1; lost 1. State College vs. H. H. S., won 2. Bellefonte vs. H. H. S., won 2. Total - won 7, lost 1. The debate season closed with the county contests and the fifth annual debate club banquet. SPEAKWELL CLUB [photo] Soon after organization the Club members chose the name "Speakwell," for they realized that now-a-days people are judged by their ability to speak correctly and well. They also realized that later in life they would be called upon to express their views in the affairs of the world in social, religious, civil or political life. If one cannot put his ideas into words, one cannot expect to hold the attention of the people, so the purpose of the Club has been to stress these points and to strive to overcome such difficulties. Offices are held by: President, Ruth Ayres. Secretary, Adeline Johnson. Faculty Adviser, Miss Benson. FRENCH CLUB [photo] The first meeting of the French Club was held December 5th, 1932. At this meeting the officers for the year were elected as follows: Chairman, Bernice Heffner. Vice-President, Dorothy Hess. Treasurer, Steel Swope. Secretary, Eleanor Wright. With these officers and under the leadership of Miss Barrick, we began our club activities. During the year the time was delightfully spent in playing French games, singing French songs, having reports and dialogues, and reading poems and holding conversations. We were greatly honored by having Miss McCrimmon and Professor Oller, from Juniata College, to speak to us. Pins were secured bearing the letters "F. C." on them. We were brought closer to the French people by the letters which many of the Club members received from France. We hope that the French Clubs, hereafter, have as interesting programs as we had and that they will gain just as much from them. "C'est le premier pas qui compte." - E. W. HI-Y CLUB [photo] There has been drawn together and firmly established in the Huntingdon High School a group of young men with a purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. This three-fold purpose is carried out by the standard Hi-Y plank, which consists of clean speech; clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. At the opening of school a group of sixty-five boys gathered under our standard. The new officers took their places and under the faithful guidance of Prof. Kenneth E. Sheetz, our faculty adviser, the Club has carried out many new accomplishments and at the same time has endeavored to live up to its purpose. The Huntingdon Hi-Y now stands as the eleventh best club in the state of Pennsylvania out of the four hundred other clubs. The accomplishments of the club for the past year consist of a boys' and girls' Hi-Y hike, a visit to every church in Huntingdon for the purpose of receiving the different angles on the many forms of religion. the establishment of a hand-book in Huntingdon High School, a Christmas party for the poor boys of Huntingdon, and a father and son banquet which proved to be a great success. Other interests of the club consist of the securing of prominent business men of Huntingdon as speakers, Bible study, movies and entertainments, both along the musical and educational line.

GIRLS' TRI-HI-Y CLUB [photo] The Girls' Tri-Hi-Y Club has had a very successful year. The activities have been based upon the four-fold life, Physical, Mental, Social, and Religious. The club has a total membership of 130, thus making it the second largest group in the state. Our Club, with the Boys' Club and about 200 young people of the town, attended a Youth Rally on Prohibition, which was sponsored by the Flying Squadron. A Pilgrim Party was held at Thanksgiving in the Presbyterian Church, which was very unique and was enjoyed by all present. A Christmas Party was held for the needy children, at which 50 children were made happy. On Christmas Eve we sang carols at the Hospital and other places in town, after which we attended the midnight candle lighting service at the Reformed Church. We had the pleasure of having Miss Ione Sikes, Assistant Young People's Superintendent of Pennsylvania, with us at a very unusual meeting held in the form of an outdoor council circle, indoors. A Tri-Hi-Y District Rally, comprising our club and about ten other clubs in this section of the state, was held at the Reformed Church on March 16. We had devotions, reports from all the clubs present, discussion on the camp project, a fellowship hour and "eats," and discussion groups on service projects for Tri- Hi-Y Clubs. There were about 150 girls present under the leadership of Mr. L. H. Kohl and Mr. L. S. Erickson. Another interesting project taken up at the meetings during the year were the discussion groups on "Ideals" and "Friendship" under the leadership of Miss Hooper and Miss Nace. We hope to send four or five representatives to the Tri-Hi-Y camp at Newton Hamilton this summer. Other interesting activities were: A reception for the Senior girls, a Mother and Daughter Social, a breakfast hike, and an induction service for the new members. The officers of the Club were: President, Betty Beck. Vice-President, Mary Ruth Myers. Secretary, Peggy Gump. Treasurer, Jane Steiner. - Peggy Gump '35. MOLECULE BUSTERS [photo] Chemistry Club The first meeting of the Molecule Busters' Club was held Monday, Dec. 5, 1932. At this meeting the following officers for the club were elected: President, Charles Davis. Vice-President, Paul Noel. Secretary-Treasurer, Allen Hoover. Program Critic, Mr. Getty. At the next meeting, it was decided that each member should contribute one cent a week, which was to be used for scientific films or magazines. At this meeting a constitution was presented by the Constitutional Committee, and it was adopted by the club. Meetings are held each Monday morning The object and purpose of the club is to give its members a knowledge and interest in science and a more intelligent view of the practical side of science, which enters into our everyday lives. Each week an interesting program is given by the members of the club. These reports are about the latest scientific happenings of the week. Many amazing experiments are performed by the use of chemicals. Due to the co-operation of its members, the club has proved to be a success, and many more delightful meetings are looked forward to by the members of the club. APPLIED SCIENCE CLUB [photo] On December 5, 1932, at 10:00 A.M., students who had been appointed to the Applied Science Club met in Room B for organization, and with the aid of Mr. Zilius, the Club Adviser, the following members were elected to serve as officers: President, Jack Bert. Vice-President, Wilbur Rumberger. Secretary, Milton West. Assistant Secretary, Maurice Shultz. This club studies every day scientific problems furnished by members of the club and Mr. Zilius. With new inventions being made and discoveries being uncovered, the club proves to be quite an interesting one. - Milton West. FRESHMAN SCIENCE CLUB [photo] The Freshman Science Club was organized under the direction of Mr. Ulsh. The following officers were elected: President, Richard Rhodes. Vice-President, Frank Miller. Secretary, William Bollinger. Treasurer, Ralph Garner. The meetings were mainly devoted to the discussion of scientific problems, among which were astronomy, hygiene, first aid, and nature study. An experiment was performed every week to stimulate interest. Reports were given and discussed. The club sponsored several trips to the industries of Huntingdon and vicinity, namely, the filtration plant, ice plant, gas plant, and Benson's creamery. We are also planning a hike to Warrior Ridge Dam. - Sam Beckel. - Alfred Alcorn. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB [photo] One Monday morning near the end of the first semester, thirty-five girls, a few from each class in the school, gathered in Room A, under the leadership of Miss Pheasant, to form the Home Economics Club. Our first meeting was spent in electing officers. The following officers were chosen: President, Janet Hood. Secretary-Treasurer, Jean Hoffman. We selected as our motto, "As Our Girlhood Is Now; So Shall Our Womanhood Be." Creed: It shall be known that the Home Economics Girl stands for Good Health, Correct Dress, Good Conduct, and Sharing Home Responsibilities. Every girl who Joins this Home Economics Club chooses these standards of living as her ideal and endeavors to live up to them. In the standard of Good Health all health rules shall be exercised, in the standard of correct dress good taste and appropriateness to the occasion, and last in standard of good conduct all rules of etiquette are observed. The programs are varied from time to time. Two club meetings from each month were used for amusement or entertainment. The other two meetings were devoted to matters more educational in the Home Economics field. The programs were all interesting and proved worthwhile. All the members of the club were active. Plays were given pertaining to correct school and dress wear, good conduct, etiquette and health. A style show was also given in which various members took part, showing the correct and incorrect manner of dress according to what to wear, when, suitability to person, time, and place. Under the leadership of Miss Pheasant, who helped to make this club a success, we feel grateful to her for helping to explain the subjects we had for discussion. - U. M. and J. H. NATURAL HISTORY CLUB [photo] The purpose of the Natural History Club is to broaden the knowledge of the Biology student with what is being accomplished in the field of biological science. The aim of the organization is being carried out by reports given by different members of the Club concerning natural history. The programs have been varied from time to time by interesting experiments and discussions by Mr. Meloy. Officers elected for the first semester: President, Marshal Showalter. Vice-President, Bernard Port. Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Cree. Officers elected for the second semester: President, James Foster. Vice-President, Tom Garner. Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Cree. The members of the Program Committee, consisting of Robert Clark, Robert Lincoln and John Zinn, were elected for the entire year. SECRETARIAL CLUB [photo] The Secretarial Club, composed of students of the first and second-year shorthand classes, was organized on December 5, 1932. At this meeting the following officers were elected: President, Wilbur Bunn; Vice-President, Helen Brandt; Secretary, Catherine Biddle; and Treasurer, Dorothy Jane Demarest. At the weekly meetings, many subjects of interest to the prospective office worker were discussed, including the use of the telephone in business, the sources of business information, telegraph service, qualities of the good stenographer, business manners and courtesy, filing, etc. Several humorous sketches were cleverly given that illustrated the "personal interview" for a position. In January, the members of the Club visited the manufacturing plant of the J. B. Kunz Co. Each member was very much interested in seeing just how their bank "pass books" were made, and heartily appreciated the explanations given by Mr. John B. Kunz. Later, trips were taken through plants of the J. C. Blair Co. and of the Daily News. At the regular meeting on April 24, Jean Hicks was elected Secretary to fill the unexpired term of Catherine Biddle, who left school to fill a stenographic position. William Lindsay, an active member of the Club, has been working for the past several months on a part-time basis in the office of the John R. Wald Company. He is associated there with Huntingdon High School Alumni who helped organize the Secretarial Club several years ago. Under the capable direction of Miss Phyllis Zeigler, and through the co- operation of all the members and the several splendid program committees, another successful and profitable year has been completed. GIRLS' ATHLETIC CLUB [photo] The Girls' Athletic Club is an entirely new wrinkle in the High School life. It has created new interest among the girls in sports and other activities usually confined to boys. Under the capable direction of Miss Miller, who has been interested for several years in the extension of sports for girls, the club was organized. Jane Trude has acted as a most efficient president, and with her help many interesting programs were arranged. Other officers who helped to make the club an unqualified success are Vice-President Fay Dean, Secretary Anna Rohm, and Reporter Virginia Kurtz. During the year an appointed committee framed the constitution, which will serve in the coming years as a "backbone" to the club. Our programs consisted of discussions and. demonstrations of all sports in which girls may participate. The principles of basketball were thoroughly discussed. These discussions were enlightening and instructive, especially to those girls who knew little about the game. Every girl who belongs to the Girls' Athletic Club feels that it has been worthwhile, and next year with the advantage of being a more experienced group even greater benefit will be derived from membership in the club. M. E. J. and B. M. P. NEWSREAL STAFF [photo] One of Mr. Fouse's greatest ambitions in the line of school activities was to instigate a school paper. Acting accordingly, with the aid and consent of the administration, he placed the proposition before the student body and the idea was met with unanimous approval. The name "Newsreal," submitted by Joe Royer, was chosen by the students as the name of the paper. Paul Casner, the only staff member to be elected by popular vote, was chosen editor-in-chief. This year the staff has edited and published five editions of the "Newsreal," and are proud of the fact that the paper has been practically self-supporting and wholly free of advertisements. Staff members are as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Paul Casner. Associate Editors: Helen Africa. Hazel Corbin. Hazel Kelley. Thomas Shumaker. News Editors: Mary McKenzie. Ambrose Rutherford. Willis Beckel. Jokes Editor, Adelaide Black. Athletic Editors Robert Bayer. Ned Johnson. Literary Editor, Lynn Corcelius. Alumni Editor, Catherine Manges. Exchange Editor, Harold Patterson. Reporters: Anna Rohm. Eunice McGee. Emily Black. Helen Pelan. Winifred Decker. Marian Wilson. Mae Brown. Minerva Wolfe. Marie Herncane. Helen Baker. Tom Garner. Phyllis Wright. Circulation Manager, Guy Pandolfino. Head Typist, Jane Trude. Assistant Typists Mildred Steele. Catherine Biddle. Irene Peightal. Dorothy Jane Demarest. Faculty Adviser, Paul D. Fouse. EASY HOUR CLUB [photo] Wednesday, October 12, 1932 A. D., a meeting without a name was held in Room O for the purpose of electing the parliamentary officers of this aforesaid room. When the "battle smoke" of the election cleared away we have "Bob" Bayer occupying the President's chair; "Archie" Davis, trying to make his ungainly physique look dignified, as Vice-President; "Dick" McCoy, keeping official minutes; "Howd" Miller, collecting "cold cash" like a good Treasurer; and "Charlie" Allen and Jake Kylor, as "Chief Bouncers." The money piled up in the treasury until the question arose, what to do with it? "Dynamite" David, our chief motion-maker, made a motion that a "feed" be held. This was seconded immediately by "Bucksie" Decker, our chief motion-seconder. So it was agreed to hold a banquet for the basketball team at Fisher's Restaurant. The places of honor were filled by the team; their coach, Mr. Peiffer; Mr. Everard, Principal and former coach; and Mr. Meloy. The grace was asked by the Club's Secretary, Richard McCoy, and hungry boys "fell to" with as little commotion as may be expected. After the plates were cleared away, our witty Vice-President pulled a few terrible jokes. Mr. Peiffer was then called upon to do his little bit, and Mr. Meloy revealed some of his hidden talent by reading a poem he had composed about the basketball team in Dutch dialect. Paul Casner entertained the Club by playing a few selections on his harmonica, and the Captain of the team, Howard Kylor, was called upon for a speech. Some more hidden talent was revealed. Mr. Everard then gave some real jokes and the toastmaster, not to be outdone, pulled some more terrible ones, after which the Alma Mater was sung and the banquet broke up. The boys of Room O were glad to show their appreciation of the team and are always at the service of Huntingdon High. School. R. H. M. C. MATHEMATICS CLUB The purpose or aim of the Mathematics Club is to develop an appreciation of Mathematics, a greater interest in it, and a broader understanding of the subject than can be secured in the regular class work. The main feature of the Club is the regular program which is given each week after the transaction of necessary business. These programs cover a wide range of subjects, most of which fall into one of these three groups: (1) The history of mathematics. (2) The application of mathematics. (3) Occasional plays or mathematical contests. At different times during the year the Club members were given some interesting facts and problems in some topics of College Algebra, Analytic Geometry, and Calculus. They were shown how to find the equation of a line through two given points; how to solve simultaneous equations by Determinants; how to "unadd" fractions; how to find areas under curves; and how to do some simple operations with the slide rule. These discussions and problems stimulated quite a lot of interest in higher mathematics. At the first meeting of the Club, the following officers were elected: William Ciccarelli, President. Jacob Kylor, Secretary. Mahlon Hoover, Treasurer. Mr. Hess, Faculty Adviser. SENIOR CLASS PLAY "Well, at last it's finished," sighed a group of tired but happy actors, the evening of March 2. The annual Senior Class Play, looked forward to for three years, was now among our souvenirs. "Oh, Professor," a three-act farce, written by Katharine Kavanaugh, was especially well adapted to its cast in that all of the action centered around Brixton Academy, a school for girls, where a summer session was being held. The first act introduces Dr. Aristotle (Charles Davis), dean of the school, who has been ordered a vacation because of his ill health. In the Doctor's absence the school is left in charge of Miss Frederica (Helen Africa), the dean's assistant. The new professor, Percival Courtwright (John Steiner), is impersonated by Michael Pemberton (William Swigart), a rich play boy who is trying to escape the clutches of Mlle. Fifi (Marie Shearer), a French chorus girl, who has pursued him to America. While Professor Courtwright is pretending to be Captain Mont Morency on Mike's money and Fifi is falling for him - incidentally the money. Jimmy Anderson, an old friend of Mike's, shows up at the school and demands protection from his family who are trying to put him into a sanitarium. Mike's false position was ticklish enough before, but after Jimmy becoming "Emily," poor Mike is nearly crazy. To make matters worse Patrica Patterson (Betty Beck), the girl Mike really loves, comes back to school and accuses him of being an imposter. At about this time Mlle. Fill discovers Mike's whereabouts. However, she declaring Mike to be "nozzing more zan a poor school teacher," decides to favor Monty. In the meantime Miss Frederica sends for Dr. Aristotle, as she is "all of a tremble" trying to keep the four students, Fluff (Thelma Coffman), Bertha (Catherine Biddle), Jean (Hazel Corbin), Belle (Jean Hicks), out of mischief. Fluff and "Emily" complicate matters even more by falling for each other and Jake (Dick McCoy), the janitor causes more than a little fun trying to collect enough money for a new suit. Upon Dr. Aristotle's arrival, he discovers Mike to be the son of his old friend Tom Pemberton. Miss Frederica and Dr. Aristotle seem strongly happy that the vacation is ended and the final curtain falls as Mike and Patty forgive and forget. The play was quite a success and the cast and Mr. Brenholtz were praised highly for their commendable work in the production. A group of excellent specialties were presented under the direction of Katherine Scalia and Dorothy Watson. Although this play was the first dramatic attempt of the Seniors, they received excellent co-operation and the amateurs went over "big." ATHLETICS FOOTBALL [photo] This year Huntingdon High School welcomed a new coach, Mr. Peiffer, who came from Perkiomen Seminary. He came with a very good record and this is one of the reasons the football team made such a great success. On September the first all candidates reported to the P. R. R. field, where strenuous practice began. The first two weeks were spent under a very hot sun, which tended to show the spirit which the boys possessed. Among the candidates were many varsity players from last year, including Bayer, Graffius, Decker, Quinn, H. Kylor, West, J. Kylor, Wear. Although a very large hole was left in the backfield by the graduation of Green, Johnston, and Warfel, this hole was very well filled by Troy, Cook, Coffman and Catalusci. Our new coach was given the difficult job of developing a backfield which he managed to do very well, while Mr. Everard, our Athletic Adviser, developed the line. Mr. Meloy, Assistant Coach, was given the job of moulding a Junior Varsity out of the scrubs, and made the field ring with "wide base," "low tail," "head up," "eyes open," "bull neck," "leg drive." Three weeks of hard practice led up to the first game, which was with Yeagertown. Since it was the first game, the Bearcats won by a score of 40-7, but a poor brand of football was played. The following week was spent in ironing out the troubles. On the next Saturday, the Bearcats faced Osceola Mills. Not knowing much about the team, the Huntingdon boys were a bit over-confident; thus on the first kick-off, the visitors scored a touchdown in the first few minutes of play by a clever passing attack. The Bearcats, seeing what was to be done, "settled down" and beat the visitors by a 41-6 score. The Osceola team showed an aerial attack that was not witnessed in any other game of the season. Each year Mr. Everard has a game scheduled with some "prep" school or academy. This game is usually played about the third or fourth, for by this game Mr. Everard can pick out the members who can stand the physical strain; also, those who have the "lemon streak." October first, the Bearcats played the La Salle prep team, a team composed of larger and more experienced players. Because of superior physical condition and playing, the Bearcats held their visitors scoreless while they chalked up thirty-eight points. Next came Sandy Township, who went down under the Bearcats human locomotive by a score of 44-6. The fighting Bearcats, with four victories "under their belts," made way for their first conference game with Bedford. The Bearcats, "keeping on their toes," overcame the visitors by a 33-12 score. Huntingdon's second conference game was played with Hollidaysburg. Since Hollidaysburg put up a stubborn fight the year before and almost overcame the Bearcats, they, remembering their previous battle, did not give the Golden Tigers a, chance, and overcame them by a score of 47-6. Wear, with the aid of perfect interference, ran 82 yards for a touchdown. Huntingdon having two conference victories, and being near first place in the conference, journeyed to Jersey Shore. The Bearcats, being just a little "cocky," went into the game thinking it was going to be a "run away." The Shoremen began with a flying start, scoring in the first four minutes of play, but Wendell Wear tied the score by a 54-yard run. Late in the second period the Shoremen pulled a clever trick play ending in an over-head pass which scored a second touchdown. The half ended with the score 12-6 in favor of Jersey Shore. In the second half, the Bearcats continued to follow in the third quarter. A near riot seemed to put a spark into the Bearcat locomotive, for in the last few minutes they put the ball across for the tieing touchdown. The extra point failed and the game ended 12-12. The spirits of the team were dampened considerably when on Thursday night before the Jersey Shore game, Quinn, Varsity center, received a severe knee injury and was unable to play the remainder of the season. After a week of hard practice, the Bearcats, followed by a thousand or more students and townspeople, motored to Altoona to obtain revenge for last year's defeat at the hands of the Blair County team. The teams were evenly matched, as was evidenced by the playing throughout the entire game. The Bearcats received the first "break" of the game by recovering a fumble on the forty-five yard line. But the strong, stubborn Altoona line prevented the Red and Blue from advancing farther than the 18-yard line. The next "break" of the game went to Altoona, who recovered a fumble on Huntingdon's six-yard line. But this time the Huntingdon line proved itself as powerful as the Maroon line and the Maroon were allowed to advance only three yards in four downs. The half ended, 0-0. The second half of the game was a punting duel, neither team gaining. Huntingdon's opportunity came when a fumble was recovered on Altoona's twenty-yard line, but this opportunity was not made good, for an attempted lateral pass went into the hands of an Altoona end. The game ended - scoreless. Each year the Red and Blue plays one game in honor of the boys' fathers. This year the Altoona game was selected as fathers' day game, and judging from the number of proud fathers who witnessed the fray from the bleachers, the celebration was a huge success. Armistice Day brought the strong Hanover eleven to Huntingdon. The Bearcats, unsuccessful at scoring for the past two weeks, did not score their first touchdown until the second quarter. Windy Wear was out of the game on account of a knee injury received in the Altoona fracas. After defeating Hanover by the overwhelming score of 33-6, Huntingdon was prepared to meet her old rival, Lewistown. Although the game was played in a "sea of mud" on the Mifflin County Fair grounds, the Bearcats managed to get 20 points for themselves and hold the old rival scoreless. The annual Thanksgiving Day game with Mount Union ended the season. The "Bricktowners" came to Huntingdon with one of the best records in many years. They held Johnstown, leader in the Western Conference, to a 0-0 score. In fact, Mt. Union's goal line was crossed but twice up to this final game of the season. No wonder the Mt. Union eleven and their fans had figured on a victory. But as usual, the Bearcats won, crossing Mt. Union's goal line six times, with three extra points added. The final score of this "Turkey Day" game with Mt. Union was 33-0. First Team Position Second Team Bayer L. E. Corbin Decker L. T. Holland Graffius L. G. Shafer Quinn C. Swope H. Kylor R. G.

Girls' Basketball Team! Through the efforts of our Coach, Miss Juniatta Miller, the rough untutored material was molded by her plastic hands into a workable and competent cohort. Without her, the girls, no matter how enthusiastic or skilled in the art of the game. could not have developed into such a winning sextet. Each and every girl did her utmost to make this team one of the best in the history of our Huntingdon High School. Take our center. Jacobs, for example. her prowess at tipping the ball without fail was one of our main standbys. Our guards, Mattern and Brumbaugh, with their fearless onslaught, always succeeded in obtaining and passing the ball. The mastery of intricate passes was demonstrated by our side-center, Showalter, and our two forwards, Dean and Captain Trude. Supremacy of accurate shooting and being capable of quick speedy motion, they assured our team of an ever-mounting score. Along the lines, always anxious to take up the fight, were our reliable substitutes E. Kurtz, V. Kurtz, Pelan, Rohm, Hood, Port, Corrigan, Poulson, Sheridan, Skinner, Horton, Focht, and Woodington. These fervent succorers were more than willing to co-operate and develop the first team to the very highest degree of technique. E. Kurtz, V. Kurtz and Poulson were the three that helped actively in our struggle for victory. H. H. S.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL [photo] Starting the 1932-33 season with but one experienced player, the J. V.'s went through the most disastrous season since 1929. Having won the County League championship for three successive years, it was hoped that the Cubs could repeat. This, however, was not in the "Log," and thus they could do no better than 500 per cent. The team was made up of the following players: Richard Lightner center Sophomore Robert Ritchey forward Junior Russell Moyer forward Junior Calvin Walker guard Sophomore Harold Witters guard Freshman Edward Showalter guard Freshman Charles Allen forward, center Junior George Secrest guard Sophomore Preston Postlethwaite guard Sophomore Fred Shaffer forward Junior Alfred Irwin center Freshman With four Juniors, four Sophomores, and three Freshmen, there is in store a wealth of material for next year. It was of interest to note that the J. V.'s defeated each team they played at least once, with the exception of Mt. Union. And in every case the games were very hard fought and seldom one-sided. The most important victory was that of the J. V.'s over the Tyrone J. V.'s. Even though the season was anything but impressive, the end in view was accomplished, in that the Junior Varsity is to act as a "feeder" to the Varsity. BASEBALL [photo] With a group of five veterans remaining from last year's squad, Coach Peiffer had quite a job picking out men capable of filling the positions vacated by last year's graduates. The first night opened with a group of fifty boys trying for "births" on the team. After a week of hard practicing Coach Peiffer was ready to form the nucleus of his baseball squad. On the firing line he had Allen Hoover, a veteran of '32; E. Quinn, also a veteran of '32, and Captain "Gus" Troy. The catching staff was to be taken care of by Catalusci and How'd. Kylor, and up to date they have been doing creditable work. In the infield, "Gus" Troy does splendid work at first; on second, Charles Allen is the capable man; and on short W. Hoover, a new boy on the squad, has been doing very favorable work. The smallest boy for the third base position was none other than "Iggy" Corbin, the boy from the farm who regulates the hard throws from third. The outfield is composed of Elby Hummel, "Windy" Wear, and Dunlap, in left, center and right; field, respectively. They have all been performing like stars, and doing splendid work. To present date the H. H. S. squad has won 11 games and lost 3, and hope to continue their fine work. - "WINDY" WEAR. BOYS' BASKETBALL [photo] At the close of the football season on Thanksgiving Day, many H. H. S. athletes turned their thoughts immediately to the oncoming basketball season. Since many of the candidates were football players, Coach Peiffer granted the boys a few days of well-earned rest. Among the group of candidates who appeared at the first practice called by the Coach, were three varsity players from last year, and a number of Junior Varsity players ready to fight for a place on the 1932-33 team. The vacancy left by Greene at center was fought for by Max Corbin and Melvin Dore, while Alfred Lang, who played in several varsity games in the previous year, signed for the vacancy left by Garner, forward. After the weeding-out process, the lineup was completed as follows: Corbin, center; "Windy" Wear and "Alf" Lang, forwards; Bayer and H. Kylor, guards. Mr. Peiffer, a master in basketball tactics, brought a new system of play to H. H. S. Several pre-conference games were played to give the boys confidence in the use of the new system. The first game of the season was with Patton, which proved to be easy for the Red and Blue passers. Although the style of play was very ragged, the game was won by a 43-13 score. Following the Patton game, Coach Peiffer spent the next few days in getting the machine running smoothly. Friday night, following the Patton game, Saxton journeyed to Huntingdon, where the Bearcats staged another victory. The Bearcats managed to win by a large score, but did not "clique" as one machine. During the Christmas Holidays the team kept practicing hard to perfect the new system of play introduced by the Coach. January 6 rolled around with the Bearcats in fine shape to open the Mountain League with Hollidaysburg, one of the Bearcats' strongest contestants. During the first three quarters of the game neither team seemed able to work together to gain substantially over the other. But, finally, in the fourth quarter, the Bearcats obtained a seven-point lead, so when the whistle blew the score stood: Huntingdon 21, Hollidaysburg 14. On Friday the 13th, that noted unlucky day, the Bearcats journeyed to State College. In the first three quarters of the game Huntingdon led by a large margin, but the prevailing spirit between the two teams was none too friendly. And, in the fourth quarter, a State College player gave vent to his feelings to such an extent that a personal skirmish took place between him and Bearcat Bayer. Since Bayer's bull-dog spirit could not be crushed the game was officially "called off." January 17 the Huntingdon Bearcats motored to Tyrone to play their third Mountain League game. Although being outclassed in this game, Tyrone did not fail to live up to its reputation of putting up a good fight. The final score at Tyrone was Huntingdon 34, Tyrone 16. On the Community Home floor at Huntingdon, the Bearcats defeated Tyrone, 36-15. Our traditional rival, Lewistown, came next to Huntingdon. Lewistown could endure the fast offensive and close defensive play of the Bearcats for only three-quarters of the game. In the fourth quarter, the Lewistown defense broke, which enabled the Red and Blue passers to gain a few-point lead, and, when the final whistle blew, the official score was 27 to 20, in favor of Huntingdon. Following the Lewistown game, the strong Trojan team came from Mt. Union. Although the Mt. Union team was very strong, the Bearcats managed to overcome them by a 41-17 score on the Huntingdon floor. In the return game, played in the Mt. Union High School gymnasium, which was crowded to the ceiling with an enthusiastic audience from both Huntingdon and Mt. Union, the Trojan and Bearcats provided many thrills for the spectators. In the first three quarters the scoring was very close; first one team was leading by a point margin, and in the next play the opposite team gaining a point lead. But the tension of the thrilled crowd broke when, in the fourth quarter, the Bearcats put up a strong offense that gave them a small lead, enough to win the game by a 31-25 score. With seven straight victories to their credit, the Bearcats faced the Philipsburg team on the home court, feeling very confident that Philipsburg would bow to them. But Philipsburg, determined to win, staged a great battle. Although the Bearcats' machine ran smoothly, lady luck seemed to favor Philipsburg. The Red and Blue trailed for the greater part of the game, but doggedly kept fighting. At the beginning of the fourth quarter Huntingdon trailed by about eleven points, but, in a spirit of brilliant playing in the last few minutes of the game, the Bearcats managed to bring the score to 35-31, losing by four points. As a result of the defeat by Philipsburg, Huntingdon was tied for first place in the Mountain League, and naturally, when the Bearcats journeyed to Hollidaysburg the following week they were "on edge." From the first sound of the whistle to the last the Bearcats fought valiantly that they might hold their first place position in the Mountain League. The game ended with the Red and Blue passers on top with a 26 to 15 score. On Sunday, February 12, the Bearcats suffered a very serious setback when "'Alf." Lang, star forward, sustained a broken ankle just four days before the Lewistown game. This injury put Lang out of playing for the rest of the season. Due to the loss of Lang, a shift in the lineup was necessary. Bayer, running guard, moved up to Lang's position, and Coffman placed in the guard position. Then, on the following Friday night, the Bearcats went to Lewistown, where a furious battle was waged for four quarters. The ceiling being very low, no long shooting could be done. This required a fast offensive to enter the strong defense set up by the Steel and Maroon five. The score at half time stood 5-5, showing that very little scoring was being done. The Bearcats obtained a lead in the second half, but trailed most of the third and fourth quarters; then, with only a few minutes to play, the Bearcats forged ahead with a three-point lead which they held to the end, to win the game by a 14-11 score. To play the last scheduled game of the season, and the championship of the Mountain League dependent upon the outcome of this game - Huntingdon and Philipsburg still tied for first position in the League, each having eleven wins and one loss - the Bearcats and five hundred rooters motored to Philipsburg, March 3. This game proved to be the most exciting, hardest fought game of the 4eason. Both teams entered the contest to win. The Bearcats equalled their opponent's floor work but were unable to hit the basket consistently. The score was very close during the entire game, but towards the end of the last quarter Philipsburg gained a three-point lead. The Bearcats valiantly staged a last minute rally, which the timer's gun halted and the game ended. with the score 20-23. No team is complete without several reserves to fill positions in time of need. Although the second or reserve team saw little action, they helped the Red and Blue varsity go to the top. The second team, better known as the "undefeated five," was led by the mighty Capt. Troy, as forward; with Bob Gutshall at the opposite forward position; Paul Cook and "Jumping Joe" Catalusci as guards, and Taylor at center. The sports editor of the Mt. Union Times sponsored a mythical All-Mountain League Team. Coach Peiffer, H. H. S. students and team were very much pleased when the announcement was made at the close of the basketball season that Max Corbin and Robert Bayer made the All-Mountain League first team, while H. Kylor and "Windy" Wear made the second team. The Huntingdon High School having four players on the first and second All-Mountain League teams, was closely followed by Philipsburg High, which had three. This team is picked by the coaches of the League, on the outstanding play, sportsmanship, and co-operative teamwork of the players in the league games. Schedule 1933 H.H.S.

The debating team, coached by Mr. Fouse, after a record of seven successful debates out of eight, was eliminated in the county contests against Mt. Union by two Juniata College judges. Harold Patterson, also coached by Mr. Fouse, won the county championship in extemporaneous speaking this year after successfully defeating Paul Casner and Lynn Corcelius in the High School eliminations. Ellsworth Shope, coached by Mr. Sheetz, our contestant for orations, was eliminated in the county contests. In the High School contests his only opponent was Willis Beckel. The reading contests under the direction of Mr. Sheetz were the most successful and had the largest number of entries. Those competing were: Helen Bergstresser, Jane Trude, Jean Dougherty, Kathryn Manges, and Doris Coffman. Helen Bergstresser overcame all opposition in both the county contests and the sectional contests at State College, but at the State contests conducted in Sunbury she placed fourth out of six entries. ASSEMBLY Assembly programs were conducted each Friday morning during the activity period. The assembly room program consisted of the flag salute, led by the Music Supervisor, devotions led by the Principal, and the singing of hymns. This was followed by the necessary announcements, after which special features of the program were enjoyed, among which were speeches given by such prominent speakers as Rev. McKeehan, Dr. Black, Dr. Sanford, Dr. Schlagerhauf, Mr. Brady, Mr. McSherry, R. H. Henderson, Mrs. Hattie Forbes, Dr. C. C. Ellis, Prof. I. H. Brumbaugh During football and basketball season, there were many pep meetings, climaxed by the awarding of letters to those who deserved them. The Dramatic Club presented three plays, "Creepy Crest," "Marriage Shop," and "The Blue Bag." All Forensic League try-outs were also given before the student body. The Sophomore History classes dramatized "Keeping Up With News." On Miss Coder's last day the program was devoted to speeches and the presentation of gifts to her in order to show our appreciation. HUNTINGDON HIGH SCHOOL HAND BOOK The Boys Hi-Y Club, under the direction of Mr. Sheetz, published this year for the first time in the history of the Huntingdon High School a hand book which is of an indispensable value to the incoming students and of interest to everyone connected with the school. This book gives the location of the different rooms in the building, the school calendar, the administration, rules and regulations, courses offered, helpful suggestions for college courses, daily schedule, clubs, etc. The members of the staff were: Editor-in-Chief, Richard McCoy. Associate Editors, John Steiner, Joseph Royer, Guy Pandolfino. Faculty Adviser, Kenneth Sheet. MOTION PICTURE MACHINE Owing to Mr. Hess' economical management of the publication of the Argus, he had saved a considerable sum of money. This sum of money, growing steadily each year, has at length been put to some useful purpose. The following committee, consisting of Mr. Hess, Mr. Getty, and Mr. Zilius, purchased two motion picture machines, to be used for educational purposes. The one is a 35 M.M. machine capable of running any standard film. The other one is a 16 M.M. machine. The large machine shows sound pictures and is used in the auditorium. The smaller one is used for classroom work. The following pictures were shown this year: Abraham Lincoln. Prevention of Tuberculosis. The Gift of Montezuma. The Byrd Expedition. Looking Backward. The Modern Knight. Dress Parade. The Covered Wagon. THIRTY-THREE We, the class of '33, So chivalrous and so free, Have completed four long years, With lots of joy mingled with tears. We all did our best To follow the rules of H. H. S. We, the Seniors, so loyal and true Have followed our colors, the Red and Blue. Embarking on the ship of success, We will go through years of stress, But we step a step higher To attain the goal we desire. When the future years have rolled around, And sounds of peace and strife abound, We think of June nineteen hundred and thirty-three, When we were so chivalrous and so free. - Elsie Norris '33 AUTOGRAPHS [photo]
