CLASS MOTTO : “Forward ever; backward never. 15 BETTY ANDERSON From the back of the room In boo keeping class can always be heard a series of giggles. ITpon looking into the matter we find the source of confusion centered around Betty. Her ambition in life is to be an advertisement writer. She has already shown some favorable signs in her project on ••Advertising.' JANE BEYDER Blonde, curly-haired Jane is friendly to all. She attained an enviable scholastic standing, and ranked high in the contests for the most beautiful and popular girl of the school. JANE BAYLOR Jane is continually plodding along in school. She is everyone’s chum and has a sunny disposition. She hopes to become a nurse. EARDING BREITHAUPT “Breity” is the high flying member of the class, for he has been interested in airplanes since his wee years. Music is another of his loves; he is a Benny Goodman fan. MAZIE BEHM Mazie is very conscientious in her work. Her handwriting is envied by all. She finds time for fun and is popular among her classmates. JOHN BRESSLER Red wavy hair, red cheeks, and a sunny disposition sum up our friend John. He has so much vim. vigor and vivacity that they seem to be contagious. i 16 a MARJORIE BRINER tyrjie” was cheated in ght, but she surely revived enough mental •ditty. She is one of our honor students. Besides being active in school affairs, she spends a great deal of her time with “Little Billy.” ROGER BROWN This young man never spends his leisure hours studying: perhaps this accounts for his star-pitching on the baseball team. Roger was president of his home room this year and is planning a career in medicine. CHARLOTTE BRUNNER Versatility is the keynote to f’harlotte Brunner’s character. Dramatics, sports, debating, and French are among her many interests. Besides these school-centered activities she also enjoys motoring as a pleasant diversion. MARY BURKHART Mary is a very amiable person, possessing a general sense of humor and a pleasant personality. She contemplates nursing as her profession. VIRGINIA CALM ‘Jinny” is continually laughing and joking. Her aim is to In a beautician. Maybe she’ll wave a male musician’s hair some day. JANE DE LONG Jane is very fond of sports, especially golf. She participated in debating, basketball. and Monitor work. Jane plans to visit Europe during tlie summer, and so we say. “Bon Voyage.” 3 5 17 HENRIETTA DE TURK Henrietta is the star center on our basketball team. Her swiftness and skill have helped us with many games. Henrietta is also fond of dancing and is a favorite at parties. LESTER DE TURK Lowell Thomas has a rival in this young man. His stories, which he never hesitates to tell, are most extraordinary. One never knows whether he is trying to laugh like Ed Wynne or Grade Allen. N'est-ce pas? ROBERT DE TURK This tall, dark and handsome youth’s long shots are a feature at any basketball game. He’s right on top when it comes to soccer and basketball. He is quite active in school, and is the secret hero of all the girls, and is subject to a sort of monomania for one, however otherwise sane. GEORGE EBRIGHT George, our speedy typist, is always busy. Home work is one of the few things that mars his happiness. CARLYLE FABIAN Serious, conscientious, studious—these are the adjectives that describe Carlyle best. Those who know him well also know that his serious blue eyes are transformed every now and then by a spark of wholesome humor. MAE FLICKER Mae is known by many as “Flick.” She is one of our honor students. When not in school, she can be found at the nearest dance either at the Community Hall or at some place nearby. We hope she will dance to success. 1 18 CL ail RUTH FUNKE Ruth is one of the best sports in the class. She is most proficient in preparing: m e a I s f o r unexpected guests. She intends to enter college in the fall. GEORGE GEIGER Who is the best dressed boy in the Senior Class? Why George, of course. It’s his hobby. George wants to be a commercial artist, but right now he likes jazzy music and dancing. He is responsible for the sudden outbursts of laughter in classes. You can't thrill him with homework. JOSEPH GABLE “Joe is one of the few seniors who had courage enough to take fourth year latin. He took the part of Willie in “Seventeen.” In the evening. Joe can be found delivering the Bulletin. DOUGLASS GOULD “Duke is best known as our chief debater in law class. Some day we may hope to find him defending a second Bruno Richard Hauptmann, or perhaps following in the footsteps of his dad by selling the only perfect refrigerators. BERNARD GAZAN It has been said that Ber nard could sell refrigerators to the Eskimos. Many dull classes have been made more lively by his amusing remarks. Our thanks to “Bud.” ELIZABETH GRIGG Dark-haired Peggy is truly fun-loving. Her infectious giggle can be heard at all times. She obtains high grades in scholarship. During her leisure time she may be seen with tall, curly-haired Bob. MPH 3 5 19 zniox HERBERT GROSS “Herbie’s personality cannot be measured by his size. He is one of our best public speakers, but be can’t talk himself out of some situations. garnet grosset Grosset is a somewhat happy-go lucky person No matter how stormy the weather he always comes out smiling. He seems to enjoy walking in the halls more than sitting in a class room. We know he’s going to be a great traveler some day! IRVIN HARTLINE “Tony” is the most popular boy in the school. He is a good athlete and received a trophy for being high-scorer of the league. Some day we may see him as coach for t h e All-American. W h o knows? IiOIS HELMICK Lois is one of the smallest and one of the most industrious pupils in our class. She has participated in debating. plays, and various class functions. Lois has a desire to be a chemist or a librarian. MALCOLM HILBERT What would we do without “Mickey?” In a room of noisy, riotous seniors, he is the only quiet chap. May his seriousness and pleasant humor carry him far. IDA HIIiI Ida. our tall, blonde, curly-headed commercial student is usually found pondering over her lessons. During her conversations at school she seems to talk about her friend. “Dot.” and the dances they attend. 1 9 20 1 EDITH KID PATRICK RUTH KILPATRICK DEBORAH LEINBACH See that dust? It’s “Edie,” our track star, speeding by. Edie made a name for herself by managing the girls' basketball team for the past two seasons. She rivals the fish when it comes to swimming. A happy care-free girl, Ruth can always be seen laughing at the troubles of others. Her hobby seems to be playing the role of a coquette. During class periods she spends her time day-dreaming about things far, far away. Our own “Kate Smith!” Music and dramatics seem to interest her very much. We feel sure that Deborah will some day be seen be hind the footlights, singing her way to fame. KENNETH LE VAN JEAN LINCOLN IDA LOEB Quiet “Kenny” is very ambitious. lie studies hard while in school. He is full of fun and continually plays tricks on his classmates. Tall, vivacious Jean is well-liked. She ranked high as the most beautiful girl in the school. A variety in coiffures and clothes is her goal. More power to her. Ida is a very brilliant student. She holds the speed record of our typing class and is a very good shorthand transcriber. Outside of school she enjoys herself by going roller skating and by playing the piano. 21 • CL zniox MARION LONG JOHN LORAH ANNIE MARTIN Marlon has been devoting her time for the past two months as the Circulation Manager of the yearbook. Her leisure time outside of school seems to be entirely devoted to riding with Harold in a blue Willys-Knight. This tall young senior is usually serious and quiet, but he is also capable of some good dry humor. .John says he wants to be a machinist. Annie is a serious young lass who is interested in debates and in the Chorus. She is one of our best students. MARY IfOUISE MAXWELL ELIZABETH MAYER LLOYD MEST Maxwell likes to spend her time reading novels and hates to he interrupted by a teacher or a bell. '•Lizzie” is greatly interested in sports. “Deadeye” is also one of the star forwards on our basketball team. She is the ‘'Eleanor Holmes” of Mt. Penn. Tall, dark Lloyd is a real chum. Less home-work is his mottto. He plays his “big bass Viol” in a popular orchestra many nights. 22 i C7 aii WINFIELD MILLER This young man is one of our outstanding athletes. His great popularity is also achieved by his artistic ability, which one can find in the clever headlines of the Monitor. WOODROW MILLER ••Woody is an unassuming fellow with a disarming smile. His green car has a parking monopoly on Filbert Street. He has made a place for himself on the soccer team. AMMON NEIN Dark-haired Ammon is con tinually saying something humorous in salesmanship class. He is a fine athlete and a good sport. ROBERT QUINTER Robert is tall, studious, modest, and well-liked by many. We wish him all the success it takes to become an office boy. ELEANOR RAMSAY Demure and petite are used to sum up “Ellie.” She is popular among her classmates and at present is the cause of someone’s “spring fever.’’ EARL RHOADS Karl is a jolly fellow, better known as D u s t y.” His baseball enthusiasm seems to have created this name. He does his work with sin-cerest efforts. May you win reward for your efforts. 23 JOSEPH RICHTER Joe Is our great actor. We have seen him behind the footlights in many of our plays. He takes an active interest in athletics and debating. HAZEL ROHRBACH Quiet, but efficient is our friend. Hazel. One never sees her angry, for h e r sunny disposition is always on the top. When she leaves school, she intends to be a big business girl. JEAN ROLLMAN Jean is very quiet, studious, and sincere. Her work in basket ball, school, and class activities is very commendable. WERNER ROSACKER A very active young man is Werner. Wherever there is a commotion, you’re sure to And him. “In spring a young man’s fancy turns to love.” LUCY SANDS Lucy is one of the ingenious girls of our class. Her favorite studies are Mathematics and Home Economics. Lucy also played on the girls’ basketball team. JOHN SCHLEGEL “Johnny and his accordian are well known to us all. His optimistic nature and rare wit are his biggest assets. Here’s one boy who won’t grow old from worry, lie spends his time woiking in American stores. Some day he may own one. 1 24 CL CLIlIl ROBERT SCHWARTZ Little but mighty best describes this valuable addition to the class. Good things come in small packages. BURTON SCHWEITZER Hear his laugh? ’Tis one in a thousand. 'Burt” loves opera music and enjoys acting in plays. ISABEL SHANER Blond, blue-eyed Betty is everyone’s chum. Her winsome smile can be seen everywhere. She loathes home-work. JAMES SHARPE The quiet, gentlemanly manner aJimmie possesses has given prestige to the class. People often wonder where he gets the eternal puck. JOHN SMITH Jack is one of our most promising young artists. He thinks drawing is a good distraction from boring classes. His specialties are cartoons and caricatures of teachers. He says he is a saxaphone player of note, the note is B Hat. ROY STAHL This gallant young senior’s name is very often seen on the executive staff of our school. His ability, however, does not stop there, for he is a track and gymnastic star. 25 3 5 DENTON STEFFY EMMA THORNTON ELEANOR TURNER In Dento n we have our genius in science and math. He is an expert photographer and shows good ability in basketball, soccer and track. Meet Kmma, the girl who aims high—she’s going to he an aviatrix. Jazz and idle evenings are her weaknesses. She likes detective stories. She rivals Sherlock Holmes when it comes to solving one. This senior takes an active part in several activities. “101 lie’s” work in debating is very outstanding. It seems that she is extremely vulnerable to Cupid’s arrows. She will enter college in the fall. HAROLD WELFLY Although h e isn’t particularly interested in the fine art s. Harold has a mechanical mind and enjoys puttering with machinery. His strong preference is for blondes. ADELAIDE WENTZEL Quietness and sincerity are the traits of Adelaide’s character. Her scholastic standing is one of the rewards of her untiring efforts. She aims to be a teacher. ELVIRA WOERLE In lOlvira we find the master artist of Mt. Penn. She not only won the Hobby contest in school but also entered many contests held through out the county. “Bl is interested in dramatics and has taken part in several school plays. 26 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1935 In the fall of 1931, a group of ninth grade pupils entered Mt. Penn High School. They were divided into two home rooms under the supervision of Mr. Larson and Miss Welsh. The major event of importance during this year was a Hallowe’en party for the members of the Class. After a short vacation the group re-entered as tenth grade pupils. The following officers were elected: president, William Lewars; vice president, Jane DeLong; secretary and treasurer, Joseph Gable. A doggie roast” was planned and turned out to be a great success. Several members of the Class were on the basketball and baseball teams, and quite a few distinguished themselves in scholastic events. When another year had passed, the Class was promoted to eleventh grade and again settled down to work. These officers were chosen: president, Lester DeTurk; vice president, Harding Breithaupt; secretary, Jane Blyler; treasurer, Charlotte Brunner. With these new officers the Class, succeeded in choosing their colors and planning several social events. A card party was given and proved to be enjoyable and financially profitable. This year again saw the members active in sports, and the honor roll boasted a large number on the eleventh grade list. As June came on, the boys and girls realized that they had completed three years of high school. The following year, as members of the graduating Class, they elected John Schlegel, president; Jean Rollman, vice president; Jane Blyler, secretary; and Roy Stahl, treasurer.

Their assistants during the year have been Jane Peifer, Robert Alberts, Helen Brown and Walter Gormley, the officers of the Class. The group was well represented in athletics, in the General Organization, and on the Monitor Staff. During the year the only social event they had was a “prom held at the Reading Country Club. This was a great success. The Class is proud of its four members that have been admitted to the National Honor Society; namely, Bill Moon, Walter Gormley, Helen Brown, and Jane Peifer. Expect bigger and better things from the Class in 1936 ! Sophomore Class Tenth Grade, under the supervision of Mr. Stutzman, started the term with great enthusiasm. As is the aim of almost every successful class, the first was that of making money for that great event known as graduation. This idea was started by a cake sale held at Stumps' Meat Market. March 15, 1935. Though it required quite a bit of work on the part of certain individuals, it proved to be a great success in the eyes of the Class. Proceeds were put safely in the school bank for future use. After the difficult task of holding a successful cake sale, the Class members sought some entertainment. One foggy evening, in April, a trip was taken to the Kutztown State Teachers College to sec Shakespeare's “Much Ado About Nothing. Though cars were few and passengers many, everyone was taken and brought back safely—thanks to the drivers. Another event common to almost every class was the “doggie roast at Mineral Spring Park. With a fire, jokes, roasted “dogs,” and a congenial crowd, this was an enjoyable affair. The Class showed great interest in athletics. Some succeeded in getting on the basketball team, and others on the track, baseball, and soccer squads. Almost everyone did his part by attending all of' these games. The second semester was made complete with a swimming party, an annual affair, which is anticipated with great interest. Along with the party went the usual “givc'and'take” of being thrown in the water and so forth. But everyone came back feeling fine. We welcomed several new pupils into our Class and bid farewell to those who moved from our community. Watch our Class make progress ! 40 Ninth Grade 9A Homeroom Officers :— President ........................... Robert Tyson Vice President ...................... Clem.

It endeavors to solve pupil's problems that fall outside the general curriculum. The members of the G. O. successfully collected and distributed baskets of food at Thanksgiving; at Easter they staged an egg hunt for the grade school children. The officers for the First Semester were : Roy Stahl, President James Mantis, Vice President Jean Roilman, Secretary Lester DeTurk, Paymaster For the Second Semester : Winfield Miller, President Jane Peifer, Vice President Charlotte Brunner, Secretary Joseph Richter, Paymaster 43 The Monitor “Monitor wins again” has been the heading appearing in the press for three consecutive years. Each year the fame of our paper moves forward and upward. The honors that our publication have won in state contests have been made possible by the members of our present graduating class. Every issue of our paper that was submitted to the Board of Judges had published therein many articles of boys and girls who will leave us on May 31 Their loss will be keenly felt in literature, art, and other activities about the school. As they leave our school and step forth into a world of unlimited possibilities, they carry with them our best wishes. May their lives be ever happy and their future successful. 4-1 National Honor Society This society was first introduced into the Mt. Penn High School, March 30, 1931. It has been carried on successfully ever since. The purpose of this organization is to develop character, service, leadership, and scholarship. The new members are Marjorie Briner, Lois Helmick, Elizabeth Grigg, Mae Flicker, Jean Rollman, Jeanne Lincoln, Carlyle Fabian, Helen Brown, Jane Peifer, Walter Gormley, and William Moon. Members chosen last year are Charlotte Brunner, Jane DeLong, and Adelaide Wentzel. Commencement Speakers “Youth Finding Itself after 300 Years of Secondary Education,” was the theme discussed by the Commencement orators. Their names and subjects follow: The Youth of Ancient Times, Charlotte Brunner; “The Youth of Yesterday,” Adelaide Wentzel; “The Youth of Today, Jean Rollman; “The Youth of Tomorrow, Marjorie Briner. Reading from left to right the pupils are—Marjorie Briner, Adelaide Wentzel, Jean Rollman, and Charlotte Brunner. 46 Debating Team On February 22, the debating teams of Mt. Penn, Spring Township, and Boyertown met to argue the question, “Resolved: That the federal government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity throughout the nation by means of annual grants to the several states for public elementary and secondary education.’’ The judges voted for Spring Township and Boyertown, but the Mt. Penn debaters believe “it is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game,” that counts. The members of the team, Herbert Gross, Mazie Behm, Marjorie Briner, Lois Helmich, Byrdie Kalish, Eleanor Turner, Annie Martin, and Adelaide Wentzel, feel that the experience gained in the debate is invaluable and will not soon be forgotten. 47 Commercial Club President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Monitor Reporter Jane Baylor Ida Loeb Betty Anderson Betty Shaner Floyd Yeager Most high school graduates seeking employment are without definite ideas regarding the various industrial processes used in the manufacturing industries of Reading and vicinity. But not so with the members of the Commercial Club, for they have visited a representative group of the industries operating in Berks County and have gained first-hand information regarding the efficiency demanded by their prospective employers. 48 Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves is one of the new popular clubs organized this year and sponsored by Miss Gring. Henrietta DeTurk, prominent athlete, was elected President and Elizabeth Mayer, Vice President. The honors of Secretary, Treasurer and Chairman of Program, went to Arline Anderson, Henrietta Kissinger and Lorraine O'Connell. During their club meetings, the members heard many interesting speakers including Miss Holmes, director of the Girl Reserves of Berks County; Dr. Kauris; and Mr. Moravec, dramatics teacher. The girls are very busy planning new programs and social functions. As a closing event, a supper-dance was held at the Reading Country Club. 49 Art Club Under the guidance of Mrs. Lantz, the members of the Art Club have accomplished many things. Charcoal was used extensively this year for sketching. Surprising as it may seem, some very good like-nesses were produced. A few of the members modeled figures from clay. Others used pastels and paints for their work. Many posters were made to help the various activities in the school. The Club presented a unique Assembly program by portraying Millet's picture. The Gleaners. The background was drawn and chalked in by the girls, while the boys helped to make the frame. Lighting effects were used and costumes were procured of the same colors as in the original It was a great success. TO wm Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus is composed of pupils of the Senior High School. All the members are interested in part singing. They have met each week to prepare for Open House and the Commencement program. The Senior members of the chorus are Deborah Leinbach, Annie Martin, Mary Burkhart, Mazie Behm, Mae Flicker, Ida Hill, Adelaide Wentzel, Marion Long, Elizabeth Grigg, Marjorie Briner, and the pianist, Elizabeth Mayer. 51 Vocational Civics Club This club was organized for the purpose of giving its members an opportunity to obtain first hand information about the various professions and trades. This was done by scheduling speakers to come before tbe club to discuss their particular fields of interest. The club feels that the periods have been well spent by these discussions. Joseph J. Larson. 52 Shop Group The Shop Group has been making some very useful pieces of furniture during the year, including cedar chests, secretaries, card tables, and book ends. Picture frames, door stops, vases, and knick-knack boxes are examples of ornamental work. The card table is most interesting. It has a chessboard center, and four triangular drop leaves, which, when raised, form a card table. On each leaf is inlaid one of the four aces. The boys generally find great satisfaction in these products of their own industry. Orchestra The orchestra met each week to provide an opportunity for the instrumental'minded to practice playing in ensemble groups. The experience received is invaluable to the pupils of this organization. The members of the Orchestra are : Violins : William Hostctter Walter Dunn Ralph Yorgey Ernest Weller Viola BoydjicfT Trombones : John Wilhaues Drum : Paul Leinbach Clarinets : Harold Rohrbach Robert Reeser Fred. Howard Trumpets : William ShiiTcr Piano : Eleanor Turner Eleanor Ramsay School Band and Cheer Leaders The Band and Cheer Leaders have been present at all athletic events, and have done much towards helping the team to win. Through the proceeds of a card party given by the P. T. A., the band is soon to get new uniforms. Additions to the group are being made frequently and many young boys are busy practicing so that they can be members next year. 55 Boys’ Basketball The boys started with a vim, but several unforeseen circumstances landed them in third place. They played in the Central Division of the Berks County League and gave the fans several good exhibitions of this sport. Captain Irvin Hartline won the high scoring honors of the Central Division with 166 points in sixteen games. Winfield Miller, Denton Steffy, Robert DeTurk, and Irvin Hartline are the Seniors on the squad. The team played sixteen games this season, winning nine and losing seven. The players made 467 points to their opponents 421. The grand finale was played against Robesonia and the boys ended the season with a 42 to 28 victory. Success to next year’s team! Mt.

The senior members of the team are the captain, Henrietta DeTurk, Jean Rollman, Charlotte Brunner, Hazel Rohrbach, Elizabeth Mayer, Lucy Sands, and the manager, Edith Kilpatrick. Mt.

Penn “Jay-Vees” compiled a winning record. In an effort to give many of the boys an opportunity to gain experience in the art of basketball, to overcome their greeness, to gain floor experience, and to lose crowd-consciousness, the junior boys persuaded Mr. Taylor to donate several afternoons each week to drill and practice sessions. The boys worked hard and long, and several were rewarded with promotion to the Varsity squad. Many of the afternoons they took the onslaughts of the Varsity to provide them with the competition so necessary to a winning team. Most of the games were played on foreign floors.
