Conservative and wise age constructs the low, staunch structures and erects sign- posts: imaginative youth stand upon their design for living and Hing great cahies of progress high to the sky. We are the youth of America. We are the builders. The strongest hammer of all time is in our hand, education. The hardest teacher of man laid our fires, knowledge of war. We are casting our molds upon democracy, the anvil of the ages. We architects of tomorrow must cast off sparics of civilization which will glow forever. The class of 1944 of Souderton High School has great dreams for tomorrow, a solid foundation for today. We present to you a record of our high school years, the blueprint of our foundation, 1944's Unaiiyi . We hope you will get as much pleasure reading it as we have received happiness and memories living it. i IIEIJIIIATIU Many problems confronted us, the staff of the Una- liyin, in the preparation of this hook, and without the able cooperation of our sponsor we could not have overcome them as we did. To Mr. Harley, a favorite teacher who is more our friend, and to whom we are deeply indebted for his time, advice and assistance which he gave us in puh- lishing our yearbook, we the seniors of 1944 grate- fully dedicate our Unaliyi . PHI IIIPI-U15 MESSAGE Congratulations on a bigger and better uUnaliyi.H May it truly be ua meeting place of friends? Have you found what you have been looking for in the last four years? Have you gone more than halt way? Do you expect more of others than of yourself ? Have you looked for opportunities to do good work? Edison found it in the chase after new ideas. Burbank found it in the search for new varieties of plants. Gutzon Borglum found it by carving the faces of five great Americans on Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills. Look for it and it hides its face. Chase after it and you'H never find it. But go after other things and it will find you. E. NI. CROUTHAMEL, Principal E Page Six I-I II M I N I 5 T I II A T I U N .

ST DE T EIJUNIIIL . . . in order to establish a deeper sense of co-operation hetween the faculty and the pupils, to promote a higher standard ol honour and encourage a more democratic spirit in all student activities . . .H Upon these words of the preamble of our Student Council Constitution lies the base of our student government. In addition to performing these functions, each year the council activities train a numher of students in leadership and demo- cratic government. As in former years, Student Councils principal activity was corridor trallic regulation. It introduced the idea of having council members patrol the stairway to the cafeteria at lunch time, and having roving monitors. The selling of Vvar Stamps and Bonds almost paralleled the importance of corridor regulation activi- ties. Nlore were sold this year than in any previous year. Among other activities, this year's Council introduced the project hy which S. H. S. adopted a war-orphan, conducted a successful Red Cross Drive, and SPOIISOTCCI several haslcethall dances.

THE B!-l ll The band, this year consisting of twenty-four members and ably led by Miss Kratz, has surpassed its last year's performance at athletic events and in assem lies Seventeen seniors graduated from the band. They were replaced by young musicians instructed hy Miss Kratz. They did their best at the football games and proved them selves at the halves in basketball games. Colorful, unique-the band is definitely an S. H. S. highlight. The hand was brilliantly paced hy a corps of seven majorettes led by Bertha Mae Clemens and Jean Boorse. These high-steppers alone were worth the price of admission. ln the year 1955, this corps was organized by Cpl. Foullce now sewing in the U. S. Army. Since then much interest has been shown and the band and corps have developed into a smooth-worlring unit, unsurpassed by any other actlv ity S. H. S. has yet found to offer. Page Thirty-eight THE GLEE EL B A new club was aclclecl this year to the S. H. S. roster of extra-curricular activi- ties. Vvhile most clulos would be none the worse for a few members. this one was so successful that at micl-year. the excess people were sifted out to leave room for everyone to breathe easily. ln the beginning. the clula was organized lay Nliss Kratz for the sole purpose of the enjoyment of group singing. However, the results were so encouraging that the Glee Club tool: over some ot the traditional worlc of the chorus. The chorus robes were first airecl on the Christmas program, where the Yule- tide was brought in as heretofore by a candlelight, musical pageant. Witliin the organization are several gems Worthy of considerable notice. The lJoy's quartet composecl of Ray Harwiclc, Gerald Hartzel, Willard Huns- berger, and Herbert Vvenger entertained the assembly royally throughout the year. lt is to be hopecl that the Glee Club will retain its niche in the curriculum ol' pleasant memories.

Nliss Fisher and her co-directress, Nliss VVeinert, again molded from the fresh dough, a tempting ticihit of comedy known as Sneak Datef' The hand uniforms were taken from their hicting place and were transformed into the military regalia of B. NI. I., everyhody's Alma Mater. A few army uniforms were put into good use for the officers, and many's the BB rifle that was missing from papa's collection. The cast worked harct and produced a fine drama with much mirth freely given during the evening. Dick Freed and Jane Nyce ahly played the leads, and a better example of student co-operation to put forth a pleasing result wasn't known to our class until the opening night.

James Dax Joxce ioder UMBII-J MBU After many dubious speeches on the part of both the directors and the students on how many times a mystery felt Hat in proportion to the times it didn't fall Hat, the class of '44 gave a mystery in the full sense of the word. Voodoo, Haitian folk- lore, groans, shrieks, lightning and all the fury of the elements plus beauty, talent, originality and a Hair for comedy characterized this, our foremost achievement of the year. Characterization ranged from the grotesquely herserk type to the romantic, devil-may-care college youth enacted by Ray Harwich. James Day caused many a side to ache from undue mirth with his portrayal of the ailing wife and keeper of the hoarding-house. A colorful strain was injected hy Joyce Yoder in the form of Peaches Greeding, extortionist. The psychic marvels, Dr. Omahandra tvvinnie Hedrick, and his patient, glamorous Kay tcarol Fawthorpi, who together with Harold Aiderfer took care of the romantic end very capahly. Vve couldnt forget that enchanting negress from Haiti, Madanie Celesta, portrayed hy Luella Canning, and the old woman and son whose parts were very brilliantly held down hy Franklin Reed and Doris Boehm. The outstanding performance of the evening was given hy Jennie Schuter as Tweetie, the country lass. However, Jennie had her ups and downs, all depending upon how many times she tainted or was dropped in the play. Even our sound-effects man Mr. Heister and assistant VViltoughhy Nloyer en- joyed themselves heartily during the production. And as for the individual Oscar we unanimously bestow it upon Ruth Hangey for the hest supporting role in this years' dramatic repertoire. This gargantuan production was directed as always hy Elizabeth Fisher and co-directress Carol Vveinert. Congratulations to the cast which rendered this tour-star entertainment.

The girls won three games and lost five. In all the games won or lost, the difference in the score was only one point. Under the leadership of Captain Joyce Trumhore and our new coach, Mrs. Jones, the enthusiasm of the girls remained undimmed throughout the season. They practiced long and hard, and really deserved bigger crowds than the few people who turned out to see them play. One of the most exciting games was our last, played at Doylestown. For eight of the girls it was the last hockey game they would play for Souderton, and they were determined to win. At first the Souderton Maids seemed powerless before their opponents who led 2-0 at the half. But the second half was a different story. Doris Boehm and Jean Alderfer came through with Field goals to tie the score. Then with only a few seconds remaining Doris Crouthamel sent the ball through the goal posts for the winning point. The squad consisted of twelve letter girls: Seniors: Joyce Trumhore, Jean Alderfer, Doris Boehm. Doris Crouthamel, Joyce Kulp, Vivian Souder, Joyce Yoder. To next year's team the class ol' 1944 wishes the hest of luclc in all their games. SCORES OF GAMES PLAYED Souderton . . . .......... 0 Lansdale .... . . . l Souderton . . . . .

Both teams employ- ing a zone defense, the game was very slow and very close. Souderton came out on top 51 to 26. ln their first league game lor the year the Red was brought up against the highly rated team from Jenkintown. Playing brilliantly, the Red almost upset the apple cart but lost a thriller 55 to 26. Traveling to Doylestown the Red ran into dilticulty. Nothing went right for the team but they managed to pull a close victory 21 to 20. Ambler provided the next foe on the home court. Ambler not putting up too much opposi- tion, the Red won 56 to 21. The bottom fell out in the Lansdale game. The Red played poorly and was badly beaten 51 to 14. Playing before the home crowd, the Red continued to show poor team play and lost to Quakertown 55 to 21. The Red, snapping out of their trance, pounced upon a poor Hatboro tive to win 57 to 15. Playing host to the twin-towners from Sell- Perlc, Souderton dropped the game 59 to 25. The Red next traveled to Springfield where they had to come from behind to win a low scoring game 15 to 12. Proving no match for the high-Hying tlenlcin- town tive, the Red was decisively beaten 62 to 25. Doylestown provided the next opposition. In a closely contested game the Red lost out in the last few minutes of play 40 to 55. Traveling to Ambler the Red came through in fine fashion to Win going away 58 to 28. Playing their traditional rival Lansdale be- fore the largest home crowd of the season, the Red played its best game of the season. The Nlaroon team came on the tloor highly confident that they would trample the low under-dog Souclerton. The Red team was determined and from the first tap-oft play it was apparent that the highly rated Maroon was no match for the supposed under-dog Souderton. The Red came out on top 59 to 55. Playing for the first time this season as a team the Red functioned smoothly. Individual honors for this splenclidly played game go to Richard Freed, Captain Nlarlc Musselman. along with Walter Kriebel and Robert Freed. Souderton seemed finally to have reached its top form. Going to Quakertown, the Quakers lmoclcecl the Red from its pedestal and hum- bled them in defeat 55 to 12. Taking their defeat by the Qualcers out on a poor Hatboro tive the Red romped to a 50 to 54 victory. Traveling to Sell-Perle, the Red returned to their form of the Lansdale game to defeat the high-Hying twin-towners by a 47 to 54 score. Closing the season at home with Springfield, the Red, returning to their trance ot the early season, was beaten 51 to 25. Loolcing baclc over the season the team played brilliantly in some games and very poorly in others. The team finished the season with a record of nine games won and eight games lost. Two players went over the century marlc in scoring: Richard Freed with 145 points and Xvalter Kriebel with 108 points. Robert Freed and Mark Nlusselman were close with 78 and 69 points respectively.

Practice for the games started in December under the leadership of their coach, Mrs. Jones, and Captain Joyce Kulp. Over sixty girls turned out for the first day of practice. This was much too large a number to worlc with, so many of the girls had to loe dropped. After the first few weelcs, there were twenty-four girls remaining on the squad. This was the largest number lcept on for quite a number of years. We played our first game of the season with Hatfield and came through with liying colors. The first regular game of the season was played with Lansdale. It was nip and tuclc all the way through, hut we managed to keep ahead and the score ended 21-20. It seemed that the Lansdale game prophesied the season. We won the rest of our games by never more than one, two, or three points. Vve tied one game, lost one, and won the rest. Souderton and Sell-Perle having a play-off at Quakertown to decide the championship. The girls came through to win 29-28. Our games were few and far between this year as Hathoro had dropped out of the league due to the gas shortage, and also for this reason it was impossible to play other non-league schools as we did in other years. The team had shorter and fewer practices this season than in former years, and this was one reason why their games were as close as they were. However, they were determined to bring home another trophy, and they succeeded ad- mirahly. If they were losing, they managed to pull ahead during the last minutes: and if they were winning, they held their own until the whistle blew at the end of the game. They never once gave up. They played their hest and they played it all the way through to the last second. This quality malces champions. The team had one of the finest captains in a long time. Joyce Kulp has been on champion- ship teams for three years. 'She was a good, all-around player, playing both forward and guard. It was as a guard, however, that she was outstanding. She followed the hall, giving the opposing forwards little chance to pass or shoot, and was easily the best guard in the Bux-Mont League. To their coach, Mrs. Jones, the team gave her first championship. It is their sincere wish that she have many more in her future years at S. H. S. The following girls have received letters: Seniors'-'Joyce Kulp, Joyce Trumhore, Vivian Souder, Ruth Hangey, Joyce Yoder, and Carol Fawthorpe, manager: Juniors.-'Sara Nickel, and Lorraine Hollenlaach. The class of 1944 hopes that next year's team and their captain, Sara Nickel, can again come through on top.

Here's lucid Thumbs upl And so farewell! Tonight we start a life tt1at's new: And if we're sad at the parting ways, It's not the going on but the leaving you. CHORUS Oh, I have memories to ponder today, And I have treasures that none can take away,-- Just small words clear, and seconds past, I know you never guessed that I would ever hold so dear. Some understanding, some thought that you made, Some laugh we shared, or some smile that you gave: So come my friend, and hold my hand . . . We shall always be this close though we should never meet again. Page Fifty-nine SOUDERTON INDEPENDENT JUNE '19, 1956 Class nf '44 Hnllls Lnnq flwaitell Iluuninn EINSTEIN SPECIAL GUEST FUTURE REUNION PROVIDED FOR The highlight of the June Social Calendar was the Reunion Ball which the Class ot '44 held Friday night in the S. H. S. gymnasium. Former students ol the class came from all parts ot the world to meet old friends and re- new old memories. The laall was a social tri- umph. Joyce Yoder, whose picture has graced hundreds ol: magazine advertisements, was the gracious hostess. Architect Harold Alderfer was the efficient host. rlovial Merrill Godshall and Horace Price were responsihle tor the toast- proposing. Carol Fawthorp came the greatest distance to attend the reunion. She arrived last night lay plane from India where she was worlcing with an archaeological expedition. Henry Gliclc and John Schneider also came to 'Souderton from quite a distance only to leave the celebration early to return to the Alasican frontier the next morning. lVlr. Elmer Benner and aged Alloert Einstein arrived at the hall and remained long enough to lend it a distinguished air laefore continuing to a meeting in Buffalo. lVlr. Einstein, the most distinguished man ever to have entered our school, loeamed upon his young prodigy, and smiled condescendingly when protessional-jit- terhug Ray Shade and Chevrolet dealer Vvin- tield Hedriclc aslcecl him to prove that parallel lines meet. The men agreed that the ladies were as lovely as they had lmeen in their school days. The ladies returned the compliment, pretending not to have noticed the thinning hair on many heads. But we can ignore that Haw, for hair- specialist Ray Harwiclc will have invented a sure-cure prevention tor laald men long loetore the turn of the century. There was only one disturlaance during the entire evening. lVlr. Richard Dorn and Dr. James Day, lzxoth prominent state politicians headed for the Dome, loecame engaged in a violent political discussion which almost re- sulted in hlows. Before such a catastrophe oc- curred, Richard Freed, a successful Souderton husiness man, intervened, and Philadelphia police captain, Floyd Greaser, threatened to place Dr. Day and lVlr. Dorn under arrest. VVhereupon Dr. Day lourst a cereloral hlood vessel. Willard Hunslaerger, canary-tancier, whispered tcanaries are afraid ot loud voices, 'als there a doctor in the house? Dr. Day proved to he the only man with medical experi- ence, hut nurses Margaret Yocum, Betty Stover, Mildred Nyce, and Anna Eshelman offered their services. Pretty Edna Derstine offered to prepare some pills in her dietetics lah for Dr. Day which would strengthen capillary walls and reduce the danger of apoplexy. At this point, the situation appeared highly amusing to Dana Lee, pretty New Yorlc stage tledgling who we still call our ml-lrulnlnyug she giggled loud and long, and the temporary ten- sion was relieved. Toward the close ot' the evening, lVlaster of ceremonies Harold Alderter presented some of our title-holders. Bette Hendriclcs was intro- duced as champion of an endurance contest for spealcing, in which she chattered tive hours continuously. Vve learned that Doris Crout- hamel, still having a grand old time, had writ- ten a hilarious new novel, lVlemoirs ot S. H. S., a successor to her laoolc, Lite as an Under- study ot Zazu Pittsf' Herhert VVenger was credited with discovering a new str purely lay mathematics: Jennie Schuler won the title Nperfect Home-malcern at the State Fair. We were a lzit surprised to hear that Genette Lewis has won a lblue rilatxon in the 4-H Cluh for a cow she raised. And last ot our honor-holders was Aileen Nase, introduced as a newly-ac- claimed concert pianist. Some ot the gowns worn hy the ladies were originals ot Countess Vachy. Patricia Alcerley married Count Vachy in 1950, thus uncannily following Revs, prediction that she would marry royalty. Jane Nyce, private secretary to footlyall coach Harold Nase, was lovely in a Rhine Maiden gown ot a graceful friendly German - American print. Helicopter - racer Vivian Souder wore Vachyls famous ulvlood in Blaclc Net and caused quite a sensation. dean Boorse and Bertha Nlae Clemens lnoth wore scarlet gowns. By the apprehension on their faces when they tirst met, we feared they were identical, lout luclcily one of the gowns had a slight hustle. Everyone enjoyed the evening immensely. It was wonderful to see our classmates again: everyone felt tive years younger. Gerald Hartzell and his hand played uVVait for lVle, lVlary for memories' salce, and then Good Night Ladies as the tinal numher. Pro-wrestler Leon Watts and lxflr. Joseph Greenday, who at present is operating a horse farm in Vernlield, were ap- pointed chairmen of a committee to arrange another class reunion, which we hope wonlt he too many years hence.
