JUNE ISSUE (Elaaa of 1322 WE, the class of 1922 of Abington High School, are no longer Juniors, but have come, by three years of effort and toil to be that which is desired by all who matriculate in high school—Seniors! Into our shoes step the Sophomores. Our best wishes go with them. As the new Senior class, we ourselves must endeavor to reach the high standard set by the class of ’21 and to better it to the fullest extent of our abilities. In September, 1920, forty-five members of the Junior Class presented themselves. Four of our former group were absent but there were several new ones to fill their places. The end of the year was saddened by the death of Mary C. Kenny of McKinley, Pa., a member of the Commercial Department, whose cheerful presence was missed by all her schoolmates and friends. The class of ’22 has been well represented in all the activities of A. H. S. In athletics Fred Fowles, John Kellogg, Archie McVicker, Henry Pierson, Carl Reichert, Paid Sassaman, Wayne Stinson, Mercer Walton, and Lewis Wilson have championed the cause for ’22. Helen Ulrich, Dorothy Reeves, Dorothy Fincke, and Helen Scott have shown that we shall have cause to be proud of them next year. We can depend on both girls and boys to better the athletic standards of our school. The morning that letters were awarded to the various members of the teams, the Juniors that received an “A” for football were: McVicker, Wilson, Stinson, Reichert, and Sassaman, (who will be captain next year). For basketball, McVicker and Sassaman were given letters. McVicker also won an “A” in swimming. Sassaman, who was captain of the track team, received his letter for that sport. In baseball the ones honored were Wilson, Stinson, and Reichert. In girls’ basketball Helen Ulrich and Dorothy Fincke succeeded in winning an “A.” Do you remember the Junior Dance and the Junior-Senior Reception? We hope so—for the whole-hearted interest of the class was put forth to make these two social functions a success in every way. As president, Fred Fowles has led us through much turmoil in class meetings. John Williams has been our secretary and Robert Martin, treasurer. Helen Ulrich has acted for the class on the executive committee of the Athletic Association. Edna Donbavand was our vice-president. During the months of April and May, the Junior Oracle Staff was busy preparing one of the best editions of the Oracle. Joseph Hunter, Kathleen Ser-eombe, Edna Donbavand, Dorothy Fincke and Carolyn Chubb and several other members of the class did commendable work in order to make the Junior paper successful. We must remember that it is our duty to carry on the excellent work of the class of ’21 who have left us such a responsible yet inviting position. We have only one short year to complete the work and realize our ambitions aroused as freshmen. Page Thirty-five
