'vvvturw School Song QALMA MATERJ As Principal of the High School, George Harold Weiss presented to the school the words and music of The Alma Mater: 1. Dear Alma Mater, faithful friend, All that we owe to thee, We shall remember to the end, Gladly and gratefully: Through all the years that we have dwelt Under thy guiding care, Every thy gentle strength we have felt. Over us everywhere. It matters not where e'er we be, After we leave 'Old High,' Our fondest thoughts will be of thee. Thou wilt be always nigh. Deep in our hearts thy spirit lies, Burning eternally, Firm are the friendships, strong are the ties, Binding us fast to thee. Pottsville High School Bank This institution was founded in 1888 for the purpose of encouraging a spirit of saving among the scholars and to instruct them in the methods of saving. The stock was worth twenty-five and fifty cents a share, and an annual dividend of five per cent was paid. The capital stock in the High School Bank of Pottsville was sold to pupils only. The institution was managed entirely by the students. The first officers were: President-Harry Filbert: Cashier- Harry O, Bechtel. Although the money in the bank at any time was never very large, yet the entire business of the bank for one year amounted to several thousand dollars. The assets of the bank not invested in securities or loaned out in small amounts was left in the care of the Schuylkill Trust Bank. The Pottsville High School Bank was the second of all high school banks established in the United States, the first being the High School Bank of Long Island City, N. Y. BANKING COUNCIL The Banking Council was first introduced into P. H. S. in November, 1926, and on Thrift Week for the school periods of 1928 and 1930 a 100 per cent record was attained. This council consisted of a cashier and assistant from each homeroom who were responsible for their particular group and were constantly striving to obtain a record of 100 per cent for each week's bank- ing. SCHOOL BANKING Since regular saving is a very worthy and necessary habit, we have a regular day in our school to foster this habit among the student body. In every homeroom, the time to bank is Tuesday from 8:30 A. M. to 8:55 A. M. One student from each homeroom is assigned to take charge of the banking for his particular group. The school savings are deposited at The Pennsylvania Bank. It is not necessarily the amount which is saved which is important, but that this saving becomes a regular habit to be carried over into adult life. Mr. Raymond Scott is the faculty advisor. School Colors After much ballotingn Crimson and White were selected in 1893 as the Pottsville High School colors. C. Frank Muehlhof was the president of the class. Previous to this date each graduating class selected its own colors which were then accepted as the school colors. Since 1893, Crimson and White remained the official colors. ,-.24-1
