Dwight Donald Patterson


Dwight Donald Patterson was born January 21, 1886, near Grisemore, Green Township. His early education was obtained in the Grisemore School and in summer sessions at the Pine Flats Summer School. He secured his higher education from Juniata Academy, Juniata College, Pennsylvania State College (A.B. '25) and University of Pittsburgh (M.A. '31).


After serving as a teacher in Pine Township, in Cambria County, and in Green Township, and as principal of the Cherry Tree and Clymer Schools, Mr. Patterson became supervising principal of the Green Township Schools. Possibly he is best known for his work as principal of Green Township High School. He was actively interested in the organization of the high school and has been largely responsible for its steady growth and betterment. Begin- ning with only one room and 13 pupils in 1917, the school has grown under his guidance until it is now made up of 10 rooms, 355 students, and 12 teachers.


Words are inadequate to express the gratitude of those citizens who appreciate the loyalty and service that has been rendered the community. We can only say that we are glad to know that the worth of our principal has been recognized, and that, in his new position as assistant county super intendent, he will serve the whole county as he has served our community.

THE SHAWNEE


CLASS OF '27


Perhaps some of you remember that in September, 1923, forty-one green Freshmen filed into Room number five to begin their work as students of Green Township High School. At our first meeting we elected the follow- ing officers :


President Rolland Berg


Vice president


Cora Thayer


Secretary Elizabeth Morgan


Treasurer Margaret Johns


Our teachers were, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Deardorff, Miss Clawson, Miss Johns, Miss Cox.


During our Sophomore year, we elected the following officers ;


President Margaret Johns


Vice-president


Mary Schidle


Secretary Elizabeth Morgan


Treasurer Geraldine Keith


Our only new teacher this year was Miss Fyock, who took the place of Miss Cox. During this year the Sophomores and the Seniors joined together in a reception.


Our Junior year was a very happy one, and those selected to lead the class were ;


President


John Fink


Vice president Violet Hagins


Secretary Margaret Johns


Representative On the Student Council Cortland V. Smith


Mr. Deardorff brought back a wife, who became a member of the fac- ulty. Mr. Siverd also was added to the faculty. He was a former graduate, and, for this reason, we were especially glad to welcome him to the faculty. We held our Oratorical Contest this year. Cortland Smith was awarded first prize, Violet Hagins, second, and John Fink, third.


When we assembled again in 1926, we found that Miss Fyock and Miss Heller had taken the places of Mr. and Mrs. Deardorff. There were now nineteen on our class roll. John Fink was reelected President, Kathryn McAnulty, a new scholar, was chosen Vice-president, Elizabeth Morgan, for her good service, was reelected Secretary and Chester Barbor was elected Treasurer. Kathryn McAnulty and Chester Barbor represent us on the Student Council.


During our four years we have learned to love our High School. and hope to have many happy memories of it.
