Miss Schwartz "PENNSYLVANIA" ..• "Pennsylvania Pennsylvania, land where liberty was born" .. .The words of thi song could readily be the theme of the Jr. Historians of H. H. S. otherwise known as the "Diggers." The members of this club "dig" up facts about the hi tory of Pennsylvania. From this information a great deal is learned about our state. The research of the Dig– gers is not only confined to Pennsylvania but branches out into the history of the United States. Each year the students in Diggers print a booklet which clearly explains the unfamiliar surroundings of our high school to the sophomores. This eliminates first day confusion. The book contains the location of rooms, school rules and regulations, and other items of interest about the school. High spots on the Diggers' calendar include the "Initiation Party," at which the new members are in– troduced into the club; field trips to Philadelphia and Gettysburg; and their assembly program, which this year was written by Miss Schwartz, the club's sponsor. Much is gained by these students learning and find– in~ out facts about their state and country. Besides bemg educational- it's fun. Left to right: First Row- J. Bujak, E. Good, S. Carrell, D.
