Floats triumphant in the breezes, No dishonor there. Student days have fondest mem'ries: Comrades here we stand As our troth to Alma Mater, Pledge we hand in hand.

Far away on life's broad highway All shall fortune try: Still our loving hearts shall cherish Thoughts ot Mount Penn High! x gfx, E- Foreword . . . With graduation almost upon us, we, the Class of 1949, find it necessary to bid a fond adieu to Mt. Penn High. Here we have shared each other's joys and sorrows for four delightful years and have formed associations which time can never dim. In this Penn Alma we have striven to record not only our memories but also those of our schoolmates: it this book can bring a flood of happy remembrances to its readers in future years, then we shall have succeeded in our purpose. Dedication . . . We, the Class of 1949, take great pleasure in dedicating our Penn Alma to Mr. William Iames, whose excellent advice and unfailing interest in our class have contributed immeasurably to the success of whatever We have undertaken. His sincerity and humor have made him a personality whom we shall remember long after graduation, and his teachings will not soon be forgotten.

China Boy , this year's junior class production, proved to be a sparkling success with each and every actor playing his or her role to perfection. The story revolves around a typical American family who suddenly finds itself caring for a Chinese youngster. With popularity contests and impish little sisters in the limelight, the story goes its merry way with plenty of laughs for everyone. We feel that a great deal of the success of the production was due to the admirable direction of Mr. Dundore, who this year took charge of the play for the first time: both he and the cast proved beyond a doubt that Mt. Penn has great thespian talent which should make the senior play next year one not to be missed. e ss Senior Y- Teens First Row Cleft to rightj-Nancy lean Stump, Agnes Barth, Worship Chairman: Nancy Klein.

The 1948-49 basketball season was an exciting one ior the Mounts. who ended the year in a three-way tie for second place in the league with Wilson and Wyomissing. The season was high-lighted by many exciting games. among them the game with West Reading. which ran to an extra quarter, and the contest with Birdsboro ior the league title. The Mounts made an excellent showing, winning twelve games and losing nine. Congratulations to the team and their coach, Mr. Zimmerman, lor making such a iine showing in stiff competition and proving their already well-known court ability! -51 bus -, 3- - Junior Varsity Basketball First Row Qlett to rightj-Alan Schlegel, Jules Levine, Emil Schulze, Mike Hawk, and Calvin Englehart.

It seems that this was an eventful sports season at Mt. Penn, and the Iayvees kept pace with the times by winning the county title, an honor which the team and coach, Mr. Bierly, Certainly deserve. All the games were tast and thrilling to watch, especially the exciting tilt at Wilson High and the play-oft game with Kutztown at Northwest. We are extremely proud of the showing that the boys made throughout the year and hope that their fine spirit ot co-operation and excellent ball-handling carry them to a varsity championship next year. 9 . 51: IJ .5 L, .kiln ,F od Y ' V, V, 1 VV., 1 My fx, ' I' V YV' l fr J 41 .,K,,+M,1 laffl' 1 '01 us: ll' f X :Q L u f W If eff?

Because oi the unseasonable weather, the candidates got a late start in training. and this proved somewhat oi a handicap in the games that they played later.
