When we look over the pages of history and study the illustrious characters who have made the world better by their useful lives, we see the persistence which characterized their efforts. They did not despair when they met their first obstacle, nor the second or third, but they pressed on in spite of difficulties and of sneers of some of their contemporaries, never losing faith in themselves or in their ability to accomplish their purposes. They finally earned the fruits of their labors, the reward for their efforts. This was the experience of Columbus, of Washington, of Lincoln, of Cyrus W. Field, of Bell, of Edison and many others. May you ever strive for the good, seek the truth, never yield to the wrong, and dedicate yourselves to the service of your fellow man, as these great men did, and you will earn the respect, the admiration, and the gratitude of your fellows and the world will be better because you are living in it. 19 3 7 FRANK 0.

Penn Parent-Teacher Association was organized with the following objectives in mind: 1. To promote child welfare in home, school, church and community. 2. To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the training of the child. 3. To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, moral, and spiritual education. The association has always cooperated with the administrative head of the school in providing medical aid and assistance for pupils who were in need of such service. On numerous occasions the association has made life more cheerful for a few' of our pupils who are less fortunate than ourselves in many wrays. The school band has been sponsored by this association and the uniforms were provided for the members through functions conducted by the association during the year. Our school is fortunate in having an association that has the interest and welfare of the pupil foremost in its purposes. It behooves us, as pupils, to express our sincere thanks to the officers of the association who are as follow's: Mrs. John R. Walker, President; Mr. Edward Shields, Vice-President; Mrs. Joseph J. Larson, Secretary; Mr. Lloyd Sharetts, Treasurer.

Would you like to see them ? Here is a pressed leaf labeled “Mineral Spring Park—Doggie Roast —October 1933.” That was from a doggie roast when Miss Rosa Snavely took the freshmen girls for an outing. She had charge of all the girls that year and Miss Ruth Strubhar had charge of the boys. This top from a box of soap chips is a reminder of the girls’ dance held in rooms 33-34 when we put soap chips on the floor to make it slippery. Here are some ticket stubs from theater parties and a pressed flower from the swimming party we had at the end of school. That was held at Locust Grove and we had plenty of fun. It was during our freshman year that we were saddened by the sudden death of our friend and schoolmate, George Williams. This box is labeled 1934-35. That must have been our sophomore year at Mt. Penn High. Didn’t the Academics have Mr. Stutzman as adviser and the Commercials Mr. Taylor? These napkins with crumbs in them are from our cake sales which were quite successful. They were also our first steps toward making money. This pebble is a souvenir of the doggie roast at Engelman’s. That yellow hair ribbon is the one I wore to the swimming party at Locust Grove. Yes, that swimming party became an annual affair. Two slips of paper tied together—llx on one and lly on the other. Those were our sections. Mr. Stutzman had charge of llx and Miss Gring of lly. The tying together symbolized the uniting of the junior class so we could work better. This bit of material with an ice cream spot is part of the dress I wore to the party in the library. That furnished much fun, and we all got better acquainted. More cake wrappers, so we must have had more cake sales. There is a big poster that says “Junior Card Party—April 24, 1936.” As I recall, that was a tremendous success financially as well as socially. We had this year’s swimming party at Bechtel’s Pool near Fleet-wood. I scraped my knee but otherwise had a pleasant day. Here is a big box labeled “Senior Year.” We did many things that year, but let’s see what we have: A bit of a balloon and some blue and yellow-crepe paper. That recalled the dance we had at the Mt. Penn Auditorium in the fall of ’36. Then here is more crepe paper and a balloon, but this paper is green and white—St. Patrick’s Dance held in the Gym. “Another Spring” was the name of our sem'or play directed by Miss Trostel. Much hidden talent showed itself in this production. This corsage was gorgeous for the dinner dance we held at the Reading Country Club just before graduation. The last thing in the box is a yellow rose—our class flower. Each member of the Class of 1937 wore one on that unforgettable night, June 2nd. We w-ere a fine group of graduates and looked well able to live up to our motto, “Strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” mi m w Marguerite Spatz tells dad’s customers how to get rid of insomnia. “A good bed is the best cure for that”, says Marguerite. Earl Wheeler looks for an employer who isn’t very particular about words. Earl wished he’d made more use of his time in office practice. Don't we all? Charlotte Stout still tries to decide which one of her many admirers she wants. A famous athlete, a sailor boy. an old school day pal are first raters. Hope “Sparkle” picks the right one.

More home runs to you! Ralph High, a new screen idol being held over for the second week at the Sixth Street Embassy. Jack Higman takes a course in penmanship. Maybe Mr. Toole was right when he said Jack should learn to write legibly. Theodore Neff regrets the time he wasted in high school. Ted’s not doing badly though; he’s President of the Tinsmith’s Union. Theodore Peifer tells Punch Jr. about the fun he had when he was a boy. Remember when he fell into the water at Carsonia? Those were the good days. Dick Northeimer gives all crooners stiff competition. He’s heard nightly on a national hookup. Bing Crosby’s got nothing on Dick. Violet Stump—a nice comfortable office position is keeping Violet these days. She considers herself lucky too, with no Peifers and Northeimers around to bother her. Helen Seidel renews courtship with an old acquaintance. We think his name is Dick. Catharine McDonough’s a blushing bride of another prominent Mt. Penn High Alumni. Phyllis Grosset creates a sensation by wearing pigtails to the Presidents Ball.
