The time is eight-thirty. A tlrst glance over the occupants of these crowded rooms causes one to scratch his head in a puzzled fashion; a second, if one is acquainted with school, brings forth a chuckle. Seventy-eight unsophisticated, bright-eyed little boys and girls comprise the group. Many of the girls are wearing middy blouses, anklets and low shoes, and here and there a brightly colored hair ribbon perched on the top of some sweet little lassie's head catches one’s eye. Some of the boys are proudly sporting long trousers, which evidently are their first pairs. All are very quiet and appear somewhat frightened, and secretly seem to long for maternal protection. A loud, rasping bell breaks the rather tense silence, causing several of the smaller members of this group of young hopefuls to start and look about fearfully. With the ringing of the bell, a small, heavy-set. wise-looking man enters the room, places himself at the head of the assemblage, and. with a twinkle of amusement in his eye. surveys them critically. There is a deep silence, and an air of impending disaster tills the rooms. Finally, he raises his hand and begins to talk. The class of ’34 is born! That was the picture presented on the first of the high school days. In spite of the seemingly hope’ess aspect the varied and adolescent group presented, the members soon fell in line and assumed what dignity and intelligence they could in view of their rank as Freshmen. From the beginning they realized that in unity there is strength, and they took care never to approach the locker room with less than five in their group. Consequently, the quaint, old Sophomore custom of administering cold showers to wee little, unsuspecting Freshmen was not exercised to any great extent. To insure their safety, the class he’d a Hallowe’en party and invited the Sophomore class to attend. This proved to be a master stroke of strategy, and henceforth they trod the halls unmolested. Thos« who chose the Academic course will probably be forever haunted by memories of that first year’s struggle with Latin and Algebra. Daily the class labored and groaned, and in some cases they were even reduced to tea rs. “Why learn the dead language;’’ and “Who cares what X nth power is anyway?” was demanded indignantly innumerable times. But we always came back at “Amo. amas. amat. and 3 X—4 Y—.” The Commercials, at the same time, were driving their teachers to despair in their futile attempt to absorb knowledge of the business world. In spite of their difficulties with studies, the class found time to organize and hold a number of activities. Under the able leadership of Robert Bates as president. Ruth Bolig as vice president. Robert Bitting as treasurer, and George Wentzel as secretary, the class functioned quite well. In spite of their ten- der age. the group was more active than any of the upper classes. This can be attributed to the excellent supervision of our adviser, Mr. Moyer. The outstanding event of the year was a public card party, the first of its kind to be held by a Mt. Penn High School class. The upper classes looked on in amusement at the busy activity and preparation. “Huh, puny little Freshmen pull off something like that. they remarked laughingly. However, the class did pull it “off.’’ and packed the auditorium full of card players and realized a profit of over sixty dollars. The end of the Freshman year found ’34 to to be a flourishing class, richer than any other. One year of high school experience had broadened both their shoulders and their minds, and they had assumed the dignity of upperclassmen. After three months vacation, the young intellectuals once more trod the beaten path to school, and continued the struggle upward under the soft light of education. Their trials and tribulations of the Freshman year were now only memories, and they quickly fell into more important positions. The Freshmen were held in the greatest contempt. “Sniveling little youngsters!” Quickly the class reorganized and launched into another active year under the following leaders: Blanche Bechtel, president: Eleanor O’Reilley. N ice president: Larry Boland, secretary: Marjorie Schu’er. treasurer. Several money-making activities were held and more profits were made. The climax came with a second card party, which was very successful. After this, the other classes, being jealous, told the heroes that they were monopolizing the business of accumulating wealth. Therefore, they quickly mended tb ir ways and did not earn another cent in all their high school days. During the Sophomore year members of the class started lending their Inspired and bri1-liant personages to high school activities. Several sat on the bench during basketball season: others added color to the mob scenes in the school play and operetta: a few actually saw service on the baseball team, and some wrote elevating themes for the Monitor. Several parties were held and many young and tender loves sprang up. How they thrilled at sneaking away from the fire with some fair young thing, while on a doggie roast at Egleman’s to find a secluded swing where they could be alone, all alone—until five fellows jumped out from behind a bush to render the royal razz.” And—ah. that first tender kiss in the moonlight! Those were the days! In scholarship real progress was made. By this time all the members understood fully that dogs bark,” “fish swim.” birds fly.” and they knew full well that You can’t put a square peg in a round hole.” that You should think nine times and speak once.” and that when it comes to Latin. There’s no argument to it.” .’1 2 Latin and Algcora again tormented the Academics. However, they knew more excuses and were better ab'c to cope with the situation. At the end of this year. Goodby was said to these subjects, with Hat seventies on report cards and smiles on many faces. The Commercials by this time were becoming tilled with knowledge of business forms and transactions, and were forever shouting “Debit the man. credit cash. This. I think, rather annoyed the other members of the class. With the advent of summer, the members of ’34 were again turned loose, wiser and sadder. after another year's striving to gain an education. When the inevitable September rolled around, they were found again wending their way to school. After much back slapping and swapping of hair-raising summer experiences. the pupils got into harness and carried on up the straight and narrow path. The class now occupied a lofty position in good old M. I . H. S., and took no pains to hide the fact. To them the Freshmen were contemptible. Sophmores unbearable, and Seniors barely tolerable. In the Junior year. Donald Miller was elected president. Jack Shcnk vice president. Marjorie Schuler secretary, and Blair Eitner treasurer. However, the class coffers were filled from the zealous efforts in the Freshman and Sophomore years, and. with this to stand on. the class turned lazy. They even discontinued class dues. No class activities were held during the entire year. Class parties were now scorned, as there was no longer any appreciation of the fine points of Wink and Spin-the-Bottle, and the young loves needed no stimulation. School activities were now supported in a big way and some students were even heard to say with voices full of feeling. I'd die for dear old Ml. Penn! The basketball team was almost entirely composed of sons of 34. The wheels of G. O. were turned largely through the efforts of members of our class. Many starred on the stage, and several promising singers like “Pottle Schlegel were developed. 34 was also well represented on the ball diamond. Conquests even went as far as the National Honor Society, in which three members were placed. Although chemistry proved to be a snarl for the Academics, and shorthand staggered the Commercials, the scholastic year was spent without losing a man. This was quite an achievement, since each of the previous years had taken its toll from our ranks. The Junior year was marked with an event which saddened all and caused a great loss to the class. That was the death of Mr. Moyer, the former class adviser, from whom much was learned, both in high school sub- jects and in Christian living. His memory will linger long in the minds of members of '34. In June the class emerged from the portals of Mt. Penn High for one more breathing spell before starting the last “lap” of the high school career. By this time such progress had been made that no longer did pupils stumble around blushingly on the dance floor, or become embarrassed at jokes. Dates had become a common thing, and Cooper had long been trying to fascinate the rest with tales of her conquests with tall college men. Ah, yes, the class was getting along. Summers passed, as summers always do. and then came the fall. Once again the students. drawn from near and far, gathered in Mt. Penn High School. They were now ' masters of all they viewed.” Because of th -ir age and experience, they trod the ha’Is with the great dignity and the solemnity that comes with knowledge. The class was subject to open-mouthed, wide-eyed looks of awe from seventh graders and to timid Hello’s from eighth graders. It had finally dawned upon all that school was a place to get as much knowledge as possible and not to shirk all they could. Consequently, studies were accepted earnestly, to the astonishment of the teachers. The Senior organization was led by Ed McDonough. with Fred Cohen as vice president. Bill Earle as secretary, and Jack Shenk ms treasurer. Catching some of the class enthusiasm of younger days, two dances were staged, which, if not financial successes, were certainly great social events. The main feature of these dances was the elegant crooning of '34’s own “Potty Schlegel. The class now forged to the front in every high school activity. In fact, they were so energetic and enterprising that they dared to conceive and execute the plan of publishing a yearbook. This endeavor brought to light now famous “Doc Dabble” Dauth. who had great latent talent in managing business projects. The year rolled quickly by. and, before it could be realized, pupils were clad in caps and gowns, and their last gathering, commencement. was at hand. Sixty students, the largest graduating class in the history of our school, comprised the group. As each one received his diploma, the class of '34 slowly disbanded. It was not easy to see '34 pass. for. to its members, it meant the end of four happy years of pleasant associations. However, they realized that, though their c’ass is gone and their school days are over, there is still left that which can never be taken from them—pleasant memories of Mt. Penn High School.

JUNIOR CLASS Faculty Advisers—Miss Claire MaeXamee Mr. I.loyd Sharetts President I,ester DeTurk Vice President Harding Brcitliaupt Treasurer Charlotte Brunner Secretary Jane Blvler The class of ’35 will be the largest class that ever graduated from our dear Alma Mater. With a class like this, many new and interesting projects can be carried out. The pupils are, at present, planning many social events for the future. Activities during the present year were as follows: A card party held in the school building was the big event. A Hallowe'en party, and later a “doggie roast were other events enjoyed by the members of the class. The class of '34 wish the members of the class of ’35 an abundance of success, and hope that their class will receive the kind of co-operation from the school that we have received. 1 « 1 SOPHOMORE CLASS Faculty Advisers—Miss Daisy Turner Mr. Joseph I .arson Mr. IJoyd Stutsman PEIM ▲L4A 4 The numerals 1936 have a significant meaning to the group of students pictured above. Until that year, at which time their graduation takes place, they are planning to make their life in school worth while. Besides doing educational work, they are making plans for numerous social affairs. The most important event this year was “Nickel Nite,” which was held in the school building. [ J6] FKKSHMEX CLASS Faculty Advisers- Miss Ituth Strubhar Miss Kosa Suavely During the school term, the class of ’37 spent many enjoyable hours together at social affairs, such as a Hallowe’en party, then later a trip to a movie to see “Little Women.” Another event, which brought them together, was a “doggie roast, and then, the hit of the year, a dance held in the school auditorium which was declared a great social success. A luncheon and Christmas party rounded out this year’s activities, but there are three more full terms to go, and they promise to be just as eventful as this term. APPR EC IA TIOX Certain members of the faculty gave freely of their time and efforts to help make the Penn-Alma a success. As English teachers, they cooperated in checking the many articles written by the pupils, and they did so without any complaints. In appreciation, then, of their unselfish service, the Class says: “Thank you, Miss Strubhar and Mr. Stut .man.” The Class also expresses its gratitude to the entire Faculty, to all classes in the high school, and to every organization of Mt. Penn High for the excellent co-operation and contagious enthusiasm that were shown in the publication of the Penn-Alma. BASKKTBALL TEAM The hoys played in the Western Division of the Berks County League this year and finished the season in third place—the highest ranking in several years. Twenty games were played this season ; the boys were victorious in nine. The team scored 546 points to their opponents’ 584. High scorer of the team was McDonough, who made 136 points in 19 games. The outstanding achievements of the season were two victories over Mohnton, champion of the Central Division. The boys who say farewell to Mt.

The most exciting game of the season was at West Lawn. Here the girls played a strenuous game. The final score was 23-27. Being placed in a different league, it was difficult to determine what odds they would meet; however, the girls fought till the last minute of every game.
