: -09535: 'ma z-lnafcmv of 'ma ---- clfxss of We have just completed a long jour- ney: and instead of going home to rest, we shall continue on a still longer journey--down the unfamiliar and com- plicated pathway of life. But before we close the chapter that we started four years ago, let us recall the most important and outstanding events that occurred. In September, 1934, we entered S.H.S. as freshmen, very much bewildered and uncertain about the long months ahead of us. As a class, we numbered 175, the largest class in the history of the school. We were very proud of that achievement, but the seniors soon made us realize that we were just another of the traditional ugreenu freshmen-- only we were ugreener.n There were not many activities open to the freshmen: thus our first year was uneventful save for the field day exercises, where the freshmen supplied keen competition. Con- sequently our first year was one of adapting ourselves to strange conditions along with laying the foundations for our education. As our freshmen year became a pleasant memory, we moved on to our sec- ond year in S.H.S. The very first day of our sophomore year was one of suspense because four new teachers were joining the faculty, They were Miss Arnold and Mr. Williams in the newly established physical education department along with commercial department Mr. Garman in the and Mr. Maass, the new coach and history instructor. The students active in all extra-curricular activities. Debating under Mr. Evans drew a large number of students who discussed the question, Resolved! That a vocational education is a better preparation for la- ter llfe than a cultural education. During the fall of our sophmmore year in Slatington sport was introduced. ing game of football, themselves became High School a new It was the excit- and several of our classmates, including Stanley Fritzinger provided us with and Chester Zellner, many thrill-packed moments. In basketball, Margaret Skutches, Gladys Jones, and Sarah Wassum showed excellent possibilities. Also Robert LaBo1d, Russel Bear, Lynn Ritter, Donald Rowlands, and William Davies became fa- miliar figures on the basketball court. In the field of baseball, Dale Scheffler, with his fatal nhooks,n gained the ad- miration of all the students. Two new activities gained the attention of many sophomores: one was the Gym Club established for the purpose of developing material for the gym ex- hibit, and the other was the frequent dances sponsored by the seniors. To encourage the habit of saving, S.H.S. installed the savings bank system This became a popular measure and many of the sophomores became depositors. As the freshman classes became larger, many began torealize that S.H,S. was becoming overcrowded. This fact led to the rumor of a new school building. and this idea materialized when the question of a bond issue was raised and passed by a large majority of the residents of Slatington. With the prospect of a new build- ing in the foreground, we entered our eventful junior year. There were again, three new teachers joining the faculty! Mr. Rex, who assumed the post created by the retirement of Mr. Joseph Freder- ick, Mr. Hess, commercial instructor, and Mr. Acker, our first art instructor as well as the conductor of a new activ- ity--the band. Three of our class be- came prominent members of this new organization! Russel Bear. William 39159. and Dudley Clowes. There also was a change in an administrative function of the school. the A new marking system was installed! year was divided into semesters and re- port cards were distributed every six weeks. This year sports again headed the list of activities. Our football season was more successful: and William Skutches, Chester Zellner, Wilbert Peters, and Dale Scheffler became the junior girls's football heroes. Russel Bear, Dale Scheffler, and Robert LaBold were seriously considered for the basketball varsity, while John Schneck, Lynn Ritter, William Davies, Donald Row- lands, and William Skutches made up the Junior varsity.
