Volume XI
Foreword
ALMA MATER 4 to most of us the term is commonly
associated with our school song. However, in Latin it signi-
fies Hbounteous motherf, given by the Romans to certain
goddesses -A Ceres, goddess of plenteous harvests and to
Cybele, goddess mother of man and giver of the arts- and
now applied to schools regarded as the "foster motheru of
those who have attended them.
Following this same line of thought, we have chosen gods
and goddesses as patrons of the various phases of our school
life, while the lines of our school song have been interwoven
with our school activities.
ALMA MATER
Our thoughts are held in loving thrall
To this, our honored Hall.
Within these Walls we've pondered o'er
The paths that lead to All.
The best that Wisdom gives, we gotg
f - The prize belongs to all.
Our loyal friendship's flower divine
That bides in Blue and Gold.
Chorus:
Then here's a rousing shout to her
And to her colors bold.
We'll e'er be true and loyal to
The noble Blue and Gold.
Dedication
PHYLLIS TURNER JAMES SHEEHAN
With sincere admiration, we, the Class of 1953, dedicate
our Muhltohi to two of our classmates, Phyllis Turner and
James Sheehan, who have displayed a steadfast deter-
mination to complete their high school education despite
serious physical handicaps. Now, having succeeded in
their efforts, they are being graduated With us this June
as esteemed members of the Class of 1953. May We take
inspiration from their courage and perseverance.
Foculfy
e Minerva- goddess of Wisdom, to Whom the Romans
paid tribute, inspired in them the desire for learning so that
they might be able to go forth in the World giving others
of their understanding and wisdom. She represented the
finest ideals - learning, Wisdom, justice, and righteous
warfare. The arts of peace especially were her particular
care. Through her, men Were trained in handicrafts,
agriculture Was made to flourish, and arts and letters were
encouraged.
So has our faculty done for us. As we leave these halls
we look to these, our inspirers, appreciating how they have
worried and struggled with us so that We might be successful
when We follow our chosen paths in life.
As We stop and think a moment, many pleasant mem-
ories return to us of helpful things they have done. Mr.
Boyer, Whose guidance as our class adviser helped us over
the rough spots in our class ventures . . . the skillful way in
which Mrs. Ramsay directed our junior class play and Mr.
Koch our senior play . . . Miss Knauss's help in keeping our
yearbook plans Within the bounds of practicality . . . Miss
Rahn's guidance and advice in our vocational problems
. . . Mrs. Curley's assistance with the senior Write-ups and
commencement . . . and Mr. Schmehl, our principal, who
was ever striving for our betterment and the improvement
of our school.

Sfudy of English Provides a Means for Self-Expression
The English Department strove to develop our backgrounds in the
field of literature and to perfect our skill in oral and written grammar . . .

eventually arrived at the seventeenth century to read the tragedy of
"Hamlet,' . . . "Tale of Two Citiesn caused many seniors to chew on their
well-manicured nails . . . diagraming left many ofthe senior boys in a state of
disgust . . . senior write-ups proved a problem to those who needed descriptive
adjectives . . . Juniors brought many interesting souvenirs from home and told
the stories behind them . . . sophomores stumbled through Portia's famous
speech in the "Merchant of Venice".

Underclossmen
Phaethon, the God of ambition, was eager to learn the ways of life. He
wanted to follow the pursuit of his father, Apollo, in driving the Sun Chariot,
however, unwilling to heed instruction and the advice of his father, who knew
he was unfitted for the position to which he aspired, he brought about his own
destruction.
Underclassmen also aspire to follow in the ways of their predecessors
and to drive the senior chariot, but unlike Phaethon, we know that we must
be properly prepared for the path we shall pursue. Those who enter these
halls of education come with hope in their hearts. Seventh graders learn the
fundamentals to lead them on their path. Participating in assemblies and
clubs besides their everyday studies, the eighth graders climb to a new level
of attainment. Choosing courses in ninth grade is a task, but their choice is
governed by what they feel will be best for their futures. The first year of
Latin for the academic students proves trying. Tenth graders choose a
president, class colors, motto and flower, and make plans for a Soph Hop, as the
beginning of organized class functioning. The eleventh graders prove their
ambition by presenting a class play, acquiring class sweaters and pins. The
underclassmen have proved their ambition not only as intent, but as accom-
plishment to carry into their senior year and their future life.

Activities
ln their advanced civilization the Romans found it necessary to deviate
from daily toil, so they developed many cultural and social activities. The
nine Muses were their symbols in music, art, poetry, dancing, drama,
literature, and science. Associated with these patrons of arts and letters
was a famous Winged steed named Pegasus which had been presented to the
Muses and which even today is connected with the idea of literature.
These activities, combined with many more, are evidenced in our schools
today. Among the events We recall with special pride are the U.N. Day
program sponsored by Student Council . . . triangular debating-Muhlenberg,
Kutztovvn, Shillington . . . Miss Horton's warbler,s sleep Walking to "dawn
patrol" . . . band-ever present and ready to play for any and every occasion
. . . the unseen stage crew behind every production . . . newsy Observer issues
-What Work was put into them! . . . our heartaches and problems before
every dance . . . the excitement and projects present at Student Council
presidential election time . . . combined Y-Teens and Hi-Y parties-What
fun at those initiations . . . "out of this World" comedians at Muhl Revue
this year . . . loyal friendships blossom forth as the students Work together
in their various extra-curricular schedules and enjoy the social agenda of
the school . . . will We ever forget these friendships?

Afhlefics
Centuries ago, the Olympic Games were instituted in honor of Jupiter,
ruler of all the gods. They were held every four years, beginning in 776 B. C.
The most famous athletes in the whole world competed for the distinction of
being first in their respective fields.
In the same spirit, competitive school sports today, while staged pri-
marily to develop teamwork and physical health, also have a keynote of honor.
Contestants strive to bring honor to their school and to gain the admiration
of the entire student body. Likewise, each pupil shares in the chagrin of
defeat or the glory of victory.
Our athletic teams this year had their share of defeats and victories . . .
chartreuse football pants "made form a colorful crew of football heroes at
our game with Boyertown when the cleaner dumped them into the wrong vats
. . . what excitement after the team defeated arch rival Shillington . . . the
varsity basketball game with Hamburg was a heartbreaking thriller as they
came from behind to defeat our cagemen by one field goal . . . Muhl basket-
eers gave Kutztown champions a "hard time" in first half of the return
engagement . . . pedagogues modeled every style of dress at their basketball??
game, from Mr. B. White's sweatsuit to Mr. Koch's "white tie and tails."
"The prize belong: to all."

As we proceed further into ancient mythology, We meet Janus, the two-
faced God. True to his name, Janus was believed to be able to look in two
directions at the same time. He is the God of beginnings-especially of good
beginnings which insure good endings. Hence, he is represented as facing
both Ways, for the Romans believed that beginnings and endings were all of
the same piece and that an undertaking ill begun could not achieve success.
For some of us seniors, our scholastic career is ending, for others it is
journeying on. Still others are facing toward careers in the commercial World.
Looking back into our years at Muhlenberg High School, we can recall
some of the many incidents We experienced. We shared our fun with llse
Lange, who came to America from Germany for one year of schooling. We
presented her with a class ring to remember us by. "Ellie" Snyder's going to
Hamburg to cheer at a basketball game being played at Wernersville was one
of the humorous occurrences during our senior year. Jim Boyer brought
instrumental recognition to M.T.H.S. by being chosen for State Band and
Orchestra.
For the first time a formal outdoor commencement on the athletic field
was planned instead of the pageant form used in previous years.
"We'll e'er be true and loyal to
the noble Blue and Gold."

Class Hisfory
Let us project a young man of the class of 1953 back into the days when
Roman civilization was at its height. His daily memorandums when he was a
boy of 12 would undoubtedly have referred to his voluntary grammar school
work under afteacherwwho was usually a slave of the family. But, brought back
to the present day, this same boy of 12 entered Muhlenberg Township High
School and filled his diary with his wonder of the strange environment and the
competition when we "greenies" held our treasure hunt at the museum under
the direction of Miss Staudt. At the close of the year Patricia Reitz and Kenneth
Greenawald were selected for the Empire Steel awards.
As he gained confidence as well as knowledge, he advanced to the eighth
grade. Here's an interesting entry he made-our class showed its first signs
of cooperation when we planned a Hallowe'en party in the gymnasium complete
with punch and potato chips. The American Legion prizes for the outstanding
students in eighth grade were presented to Jeanette Weller and Kenneth
Greenawald.
Ninth grade! As a freshman he was greeted with his first taste of the various
courses. Our young man remembers an "AD he received on his civics notebook
and, as a future linguist, he studied Latin and the life of the Romans. How he
wished he were among the privileged class members who had a day off from school
to journey to junior county chorus. Patricia Reitz and Kenneth Greenawald
were the recipients of the Senior Woman's Club awards.
At the age when, as a Roman lad, he would possibly have traveled to Greece
for a higher education, he joined in the confusion of organizing our class and
planning the "Soph Hop." By now he was among many of the class warbling
at Mixed Chorus rehearsals. And the time he and other "recruits" went through
Hi-Y initiation! Patricia Reitz and Kenneth Greenawald were awarded the
Maidencreek Hosiery prizes.
Advancing to his junior year, he proudly sported one ofthe snappy classjackets
our class inaugurated. Our dramatists presented a terrific junior class play,
"Tattletale." To end the year we planned a trip to Riverview Beach Park and
here our diary-keeper has also made a note that he had a super time at the Junior-
Senior prom at the Reading Country Club. junior Womanls Club awards went
to Patricia Reitz and Kenneth Greenawald.
As a member of the 25th graduating class of M.T.H.S., he helped slave on
our yearbook and to present our senior class play, "Seventeen Is Terrific." R.

Class Hisfory fconffnuedp
James Boyer represented us at State Band and Orchestra. Except for Luther
Schlott replacing Nancy Shupp, our tenth grade veep, our class officers remained
the same throughout our senior high years. National Honor Society inducted
only seniors this year and claimed ten of our class. Wasn't our prom dreamy?
None of us wanted it to end. Our Commencement, the first outdoor formal
graduation in the history of Muhlenberg, completed our public schooling, and
We left these portals at the same age as our young Roman man was ready to take
his place in public life.
