Dear Jim:
Here is your school-Abington Senior
High. While you have been away defend-
ing this great country of ours, we have
tried to preserve those traditions and
standards that you remember as Abing-
ton's. The world was at war when we en-
tered these halls, now we are going forth
to make secure that peace which over
1800 former Abingtonians aided in bring-
ing about. We graduates have been pre-
paring to take our places in the post-
war world-educating our minds, build-
ing our bodies with sports, filling our
leisure profitably with music, dramatics,
art, and publications.
We did what we could to help the war
effort-selling bonds, working in hospit-
als, taking war jobs. Fellows went into
service right out of our classes-some
never to come back.
Yet we haven't changed, Jim. We still
rush madly for the lunch line and buses,
twosomes still walk the track, we still
crowd the gym for rallies and yell at
games. Yes, itis still the same old school,
Jim. Turn the pages and you will see.

During the time you have been away,
the School Board has certainly been do-
ing a fine job. Remember how athletes
walked home or rode the P. T. C. if they
missed the first bus out? Now these lucky
studes ride home in school buses as late
as 6:15. The School Board recently in-
creased the amount appropriated per pu-
pil for books for the library. If you want
help with your individual problems, Mr.
Lissfelt has more time to spend advising
students. The townshipls comprehensive
testing program has also been expanded.
The war has changed many things in Ab-
ington township, but, as conditions im-
prove, the Abington School Board and
superintendent will see to it that Abing-
ton schools keep pace with the best.

ince Mr. Gernert was principal
when you graduated, I hardly
need to tell you what a source of
inspiration and never-failing guidance he
has been to us. Yet with all of his respon-
sibilities here, he has not forgotten you
boys. Did you know, Jim, that he spent
all last summer working with wounded
veterans at the Naval Hospital? None of
you will forget his faithful correspond-
ence while you were away nor his cheery
welcome when you came back. Through
his leadership, our school has maintained
its high standards, even under war con-
ditions, and is now preparing its students
to face the problems of the post-war
world.
Commercial . . .
Of course, we in the
commercial course still
think our course is the
best in the school. We
realize more than ever
that with work slack-
ening and not so many
workers needed in in-
dustry the commercial
graduate must acquire
speed and accuracy to
the highest possible
degree. Under the di-
rection of Mr. Krueger
we have sold candy
for the flower fund
and solicited advertise-
ments and subscrip-
tfons for the YEAR-
BOOK and ads for the
ABINGTONIAN be-
sides our regular class
activities.

General . . .
Jim, do you remember how many kids always crowded
into the general course? Well, it's still just as popular. More
students are choosing that course so that they can specialize
in music, in art, or in home economics. Of course, there are
still some generals who landed in that course when the go-
ing got too stijf in classical or commercial or engineering
subjects, but that number is steadily decreasing. The gen-
eral course offers a well-rounded education with a wide
choice of subjects, an opportunity that many students really
appreciate.
Classical . . .
Latin contracts, 64 equations, French verbs, German vocabu-
lary, English novels and essays-these are a few of the worries of
the overworked classicals. But fortunately it's not all work. Many
of you returned servicemen enjoyed the Latin Club's Turnabout
Dance, and the school applauded the ceremony of the Vestal Virgins
and the Roman comedy given during Latin Week. However, our
main objective is to prepare for college-not an easy task now that
you returned servicemen are crowding to colleges in such numbers
that they are receiving more applications than they can possibly ac-
cept. But we know that the classical course has given us an excellent
foundation for college work when we do get in, and we've had lots
of fun with all our hard study.

FACULTY
And, Jim, you remember the faculty. Most of the ones
you knew are still teaching here, although there have been
a few changes. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Seltzer have returned
from the Armed Forces. Mrs. Marion Bright Bayne, a former
AH S grad herself, is now Miss Herzog's assistant while
Miss Anna Miller has joined the commercial department and
Mr. Pawling, the history department.
You should have seen these busy teachers during the
war, Jim. They worked hard for the Red Cross, headed bond
drives, and served as blood donors. Mr. Gernert served on
the Rehabilitation Staff at the Naval Hospitalg Mr. Smiley
did his bit on the Ration Boardg while the whole faculty as-
sisted several times in issuing ration books.

FAC LTY
Even with fewer supplies and shortage of equipment,
the teachers kept Abington from getting into a rut and main-
tained the high standards every Abingtonian knows so well.
They worked long and harcl to keep the name of Abington
High School well known favorably everywhere.
Along with everyone else, they worriecl through the
news, blundereol through a maze of ration points, and over-
came serious shortages in the school. In short, Jim, the teach-
ers came through with flying colors.

Jim, remember when you left the school building at night, how
firty it was? Then when you arrived next morning, how it was all
'miraculously clean again? Well, that wasnit any miracle, the custod-
ins did that job with lots of hard work. Lunchtime finds the helpers
ft the cafeteria, cheerfully preparing food. All during the day, secre-
zries, telephone operator, engineers, and custodians work to keep Ab-
igton running smoothly. Every morning and evening, faithful
'us drivers deliver us at our destination. All year school doctors,
yurse, and dental technician check our physical condition. A stu-
fent really feels grateful to all these helpers who work to make our
chool days the best time of our life.

Did you get your ABINGTONIAN while you were over-
seas, Jim? Our newspaper and magazine continued to make
their regular appearance. In the past four years, we've in-
cluded a lot of service news as well as school doings, for
we've been sending the ABINGTONIAN to hundreds of you
alumni in service. Since the entire staff has put a lot of work
into the paper, we were proud when C. S. P. A. again
awarded us a jirst place.

As usual, Jim, the
Student Council spon-
sored a number of
successful projects.
Student Day, when we
students substitute for
the teachers. was an
outstanding event in
the school year. Of
course, everyone en-
joyed those P. T. A.
Open Houses in the
gym, given with the
help of the Student
Council. Other out-
standing Council pro-
jects were the Career
Conference and the
Christmas donations to
Ch,rist's Home.
Those hard-working
girls, the Internos,
were, as always, a de-
pendable, helpful
group, One of these
girls was always at
the Service Desk to
direct visitors and to
run errands, The In-
Sernos also ushered at
olays and at Com-
nenceinent.
Every week the J.

jot it to the local and

Again everybody cooperated in the club program. Every pupil
id the usual choice of one club to attend each Wednesday during ac-
aity period. You may think, Jim, that your choice of clubs was ra-
er limited. Well, you should see the variety we now have-every-
ing from Sewing and Chess to Dramatics and Football. Each year
2 notice a definite growth in club work and an increased interest.
ipils frequently remain after school to continue work started in
ab-another example of Abington spirit.

This year we produced two three-act
plays, and both were real hits, Jim. The
Dramatic Club, on November 30 and De-
cember 1, gave its version of the melo-
drama, PURE AS THE DRIVEN SNOW, full
of intrigue, romance, and contemplated
murder, with the evil villain trying to
abduct the helpless Purity. She was, of
course, rescued in the nick of time by
brave Leander Longfellow, and Mortimer
Frothingham received his just punish-
ment. This was the first major Dramatic
Club production in several seasons.
We seniors selected the popular com-
edy, YoU CAN,T TAKE IT WITH YoU.
What a crazy h o u s e h old that was!
Snakes, fireworks, Russians, and income
tax collectors created havoc in the Van-
derhof home, ruled by happy-go-lucky
Grandpa Vanderhof, whose philosophy of
life was not to work or worry about mon-
ey but to have as much fun as you could.
Herb Chandlee really gave an unusually
fine performance as Grandpa, but the
whole cast was excellent. Sorry you
couldn't be here to see it!

coach and, in 1945, introduced the T formation here. Big Ed brought Abing-
ton smack back into the headlines with a second place berth in the Big Six
this year. The team eked out a 7-6 win over Penn Charter after losing a 20-0
affair to Haverford the week before.
We did what was deemed impossible the very next week by downing
Lower Merion, 19-13, for the first time in five years. Dobbins Vocational and
Norristown handed ns setbacks, but we came down to earth in time to lick
Upper Darby and Radnor. We would have tied Haverford for the title if the
high-spirited boys from Cheltenham hadn't spanked us, 18-6.

From a 13-game schedule this year,
Jim, our boys, soccer team was able to
salvage only two victories and two ties.
Although our league standing wasn't
anything to brag about, Coach P. T.
Gantt's squad was well represented in
the All-Scholastic and All-Suburban
line-ups. Leonard Blumenthal, Ghost
goalie, finished his three-year term as
varsity goal tender by gaining a place on
the Philadelphia All-Scholastic team.
Dick Dunlap and Ed O'Hara grabbed
first team positions with the All-Suburb-
an e l e v e n, and Leonard Blumenthal,
Norman Smith, Nick Vassalotti, and Joe
Hutelmeyer were names on the second
team roster.

When we started out this year, the outlook for Miss
Herzogis hockey team was very dismal as we had only
1 few reserves remaining from last year. We were not
surprised to go down before Hatboro, Abington Friends,
1nd Jenkintown all in succession. However, we staged
1 surprise attack on the lassies from Springfield and
held them to a 3-3 tie. With a reserve of energy from
this game, we lost to Norristown by only one point.
Ambler and Cheltenham came next, and twice again
our hockeyists were overcome. Then the last game of
the season provided solace for the downcast eleven when
they defeated Upper Merion by a one to nothing score,
thanks to Virginia Winegard, who captained the team.

Since you were in school only a few years ago, Jim, you cer-
tainly remember PopU Erb. Well, he's still here and still turning
out basketball teams. Those teams are getting better, too. This
year we were a little slow getting started because Pop:' had lost
almost his whole 1945 team and had to work on a crew of green
kids. When we lost hue league games in
a row, things looked pretty dismal. Then,
all of a sudden, we set a cocky Chelten-
ham Club on their ear, 25-23. Those green
kids had ripeneol. And they proceeded to
prove it by upsetting Norristown, Haver-
ford, and Upper Darby and tying the
league standings into knots.

Suburban interscholastic champs in
swimming - that's the big news about
Uncle Charley Pawlingis mermen, Jim.
We never even had a look at the champ-
ionship before. What's more, we were un-
defeated in league meets, losing only to
George School in the last meet of the
season. We tied with Norristown and Up-
per Darby in the P. I. A. A. district meet,
qualified six boys for the regionals, and
three for the state finals. Harper added
one more to his victories when he won
the 100-yd. breaststrolce in the regional
meet while Cline and Morrow took sec-
onds. Boy, it really was a great season!

With both varsity and intramural pro-
grams this season, our girls, coached for
the first time by Mrs. Marion Bayne,
came out for the squad in such numbers
that we had three teams. We were very
proud of our varsity, and you will be,
too, when you realize that they won six
out of nine games. A few of the high-
lights of the seasons were the games in
which we squelched unbeaten teams such
as Ambler and Abington Friends. An-
other bright spot was our 29-20 victory
over Lansdale, whom we had never pre-
viously beaten. In the intramurals, the
juniors came through victorious.

The wrestling team had
its ups and downs this
year. We started of okay
when we pinned George
School, 26-17, but then we
fell flat on our backs as we
bowed to Lansdowne High,
16-24. The Penn Charter
match was close, but the
23-20 verdict favored as.
Haverford, Upper Darby,
and Cheltenham defeated
as before our lone league
win-a 30-11 victory over
Lower Merion. We took
Perkiomen, 40-0, then met
New Jersey's state champ-
ions, Washington High,
who trampled us, 45-0.
That was bad, Jim, but re-
member - we DID beat
Lower Merion.

How does that sound, Jim? Coach
Erb's nine won 15 out of 18 games this
season, taking the last eight right in a
row. We had to play 10 innings to beat
Cheltenham and 11 to down Haverford
for the title. Kessler pitched a no-run,
no-hit game when we beat Lower Merion,
8-0. That makes three championships this
year - boys' swimming, Triplett's state
title in the 100-yd. dash, and baseball.

These seniors are our choice for truly representative Abing-
tonians. The list is headed by our class president, Dick Davidson,
varsity reliable in basketball, closely followed by Louise Huttlin,
well known for her work in the band and her piano and organ
playing. We have two cheerleaders on our list, Shirley Mills and Jo
DeTrent, who also doubles as class secretary. Football is well rep-
resented by Student Council president, Dick Gessner, class Athletic
Representative, Fred Trimble, Angelo F anelli, and Neal Hethering-
ton, publications, by our Yearbook editor, Andy Nehlig, co-editor
of the ABINGTONIAN, and Josephine Spitzer, Honor Roll regular.
We're especially proud of Harry Harper and Lenny Blumenthal.
Harry won both district and regional championships in swimming,
and Lenny represented Abington on the All-Philadelphia champ-
ionship soccer team. Another soccer player is Dick Dunlap, who
won the district title in wrestling in 1945. Betty Stevenson won the
Civic Attitude Award several times. Elaine Shutts is one of our bet-
ter artists as well as a worker on newspaper and magazine. Carl
Wilhjelm took over the leadership of the band when Director Smith
was ill last fall. These boys and girls have served Abington loyally,
we know you'll join us in paying them this well deserved tribute.

Motto: Never was a good work done without much trouble.
Class Colors: Crimson and Gold
Class Flower: Rose
In the fall of 1943, nearly 300 sophomores entered
Abington High from the two junior high schools. The
new class elected Bill O'Boyle president and made their
social debut at a gay sophomore party. Bill led the class
through their first two years but then left to join the
Army. In the senior year, Dick Davidson was elected
class president. This class, Jim, has sponsored the usual
activities-Junior Prom, senior play, and finally Com-
mencement. It has been a good three years, Jim, a time
that we will always remember.

S0 we come to the close
of the story, Jim, for by
the time you read this, we-
'll be alumni, too. June
fourteenth we receive our
diplomas and go out into
a confused world to seek
fulfillment of our hopes
and dreams. We leave with
you this record of 1945-l46.
Of course, you,ve found
many changes, but through
every school year there
lives that fine Abington
spirit of cooperation and
loyalty. These will remain
the same, Jim, as long as
there is an Abington High
School. Listen to the old
song once again as the
cheerleaders start the clos-
ing stanza:
Many days may come and
go
To thee, dear old Abington,
Storms may rise and winds
may blow-
Firm and true our Crim-
son.
Let not memjries faded be
As we go o'er land and sea!
Alma Mater, hail to thee,
To our dear old Abingtonlu
