History of the Junior Class
The Fall of 1921 marked an important epoch in the History of the Hollidaysburg High School, because at that time the members of the Class of 1925, one hundred twelve strong, made their official bow as Freshmen.
With such a wealth of good material, it was not difficult to find an acceptable speaker for Senior Dismissal Day, John Robeson, who, by his oratory, brought the class prominently before the public eye.
The swift passage of time brought these youthful Freshmen to the glory of Sophomore Distinction. During this period the class became more socially inclined as two "Weiner Roasts" were planned and successfully carried out. As to the School activities, few football, few basketball, and few baseball games took place without a delegation of enthusiastic rooters. The speaker for this year was Janet M. Dibert.
Now that we have become Juniors, although but eighty in number, we have broadened and strengthened in class spirit to a marked degree. As a result of this spirit, many activities are being planned which are efficiently carried on by our class chairman, Harry Dubbs, and Secretary-Treasurer, Ethel Fleisher.
It is safe to predict that when we have attained the dignity of Seniors, we will hold and cherish the principles of loyalty and friendship which have held us so firmly together through our school life. - Janet M. Dibet

History of the Class of '26
In the fall of 1922 one hundred and twenty-five pupils entered our school as Freshmen. This was the largest and, at least in our opinion, the finest class ever to enter. The first we may have been a little timid or fearful but this gradually wore off and now we have developed a feeling of mutual friendship between teachers and students.
Almost before we knew it the first year had become a part of the past. Then a year later we were again summoned into this school, but we had developed into Sophomores with all the ambitions and dignity which usually accompany the second year. This year we are in every project whether it is sports, music or whatever.
The orchestra has benefited by us. Seven of our number now play in the "music making" department. Sports also have claimed some. Two are now basketball "subs" and one played football. It is hoped that more will come to the front during the next two years. We also aid the players by lending our voices and support at the games.
Every once in a while something out of the ordinary takes place and the Sophomores are always ready and willing to help. Indeed, our class is the backbone of this school.
The idea of speaking before the school has brought us to the attention of the other classes. By the looks of things, Webster would have to take a back seat, and Bryan would be in it.
After working in harmony for two years it is with eager expectation that we look forward to our Junior year. We will be a rapid action class next year.

Freshmen Class History, '27
Well here we are! The youngest but not the freshest class that ever entered High School. A large number of our brilliant freshmen hail from Duncansville, nearby vicinities and the Beaver Dams.
Less than a year has passed since we began our career as the Class of '27.
We passed hastily over the first few days here. We considered ourselves lucky to be in the Class of '27, because, starting last year, initiation by upper classmen was prohibited.
As a pastime we have occupied our attention with Science, Mathematics, the intricacies of Latin, English "As she is taught."
Mrs. Barrett could give us 150% on the Algebra we know, but our deficiencies in Arithmetic prevent high grades.
It is not so bad for we Freshies to be called "Children," for Mr. Wade also calls the "Dignified Seniors," "Children."
One thing we can boast of is that we furnish several "subs" for the Basket Ball Team, and the Orchestra will be dependent upon our eight Freshmen players three years from now. - D. M.
