Y FOREWOR The symbol of Souderton High School is a powerful, mature Indian brave. As our Unalzyi theme we chose not this but another Indian-our Wee Warrior, as we familiarly called him, with his impish face, droopy feathers and irresponsible air. During the months we worked with him we discovered that our Wee Warrior was infinitely more like us than his solemn sire. All too soon, however, came the completion of our Umzlgfi sym- bolizing the change in us from the prankish Wee Warrior to the dignified brave. Although it is impossible to be transformed over- night, some of us will quickly adjust ourselves to being on our own, to giving ourselves that extra push. Others will cling longer to the guise of Wee Warrior. Our hopes are high for this new phase of our lives. We have been looking forward to it and have taken pains to prepare for adult living. Nevertheless, it is with regret that we look back on our days as Wee Warriors. PAGE 4 DEDICATIO MR. ROSENBERGER We, the class of 1949, proudly dedicate this, the tenth issue of the Unalzji, to Mr. Rosenberger as a token of our appreciation for the countless number of things he has done for us. As freshmen, many of us studied English under his supervision. No big stick or harsh words were necessary. His soft voice, his pleasant smile, his infinite patience, and his tall tales entranced his students and made English that special class. As Junior High guidance advisor, he readily gave of his time to our problems, advising, guiding and preparing us for Senior High. At the beginning of this school term he became principal of our school. In this capacity his Wise counsel has continued to guide us through the many problems of vocational selection and prepara- tion for citizenship. PAGE 5 R X N. 34, MlSSOURl ORK VE YTM- clminisimtion PAUL 7 E. M. CROUTHAMEL L. P. ROSENBERGER Supervising Principal High School Principal Principals Message A word to a person leaving high school in times like these must be one of tempered optimism. We have recently discovered a source of power that we now fear and seem unable to control. The historic purposes of democracy, both at home and elsewhere, are secretly and openly challenged. Your own careers in some cases will shortly be interrupted by our nation's answer to the signs of the times. As we face this future, what are some individual resources that are dependable and how can they best contribute constructively to this generation? Education, industry, frugality, good health, and good manners-the virtues first expressed in Proverbs, later emphasized by Franklin, and often since re-emphasized by your parents and teachers-are still resources with high survival value in all genera- tions and circumstances. Substitutes are surprisingly fragile. Your contribution with your resources to this generation must begin with yourself. If any great problem is to be met and solved, it can come about only by a small positive contribution from your life, my life, and many lives throughout the world. By approaching these big issues through an emphasis of those tiny influences that work from individual to individual you will make all your efforts worthwhile'-and never hopeless-and it is a challenge within your reach and worthy of your best. A favorite character of mine was an old Johns Hopkins doctoreSir William Osler-one of the Big Four in medicine. Shortly before his death he was asked to speak to the undergraduates of Yale. Every word which he uttered on that occasion is worthy of meditation, but this one sentence of his may help you to understand a final message I want to leave with you. Life is a straight, plain business, and the way is clear, blazed for you by generations of strong men, into whose labors you enter and whose ideals must be your inspira- tion. L. P.

The business staff was responsible for the sales and advertising while the typists prepared copy for the printer. Whenever we were confronted with difficulties, we turned to our capable faculty advisorsw--Miss Gerhart and Mr. Harley. To both of them we give our sincere thanks for their patience, cooperation, and advice. STAFF 'lfypirrrx M. Tuners, Y. LXNDIS, A. S'rovuu. .Yparfr lVriler.r.' F. AALLEBACH, R. Lovx. Bir1gmpfwr.r.'

TUDE T COUNCIL Student Council, a group consisting of twenty-six members, strives to promote good citizenship and uphold the virtues and standards of S. H. S. This year it consisted of a member from each of the extra-curricular organizations besides the usual delegates from each of the homerooms. Thus all phases ofthe school curriculum were represented. The council, which is under the able supervision of Mr. Manone, collected and forwarded Christmas cards to charitable women's and children's organizations, was represented at monthly Red Cross con- ferences, and supported a war refugee. The members attended two interscholastic student council conferences and are now developing a disciplinary system. This organization made rapid strides in the past few years, and it is our sincere hope that the student councils which are to follow will continue to promote the welfare of S. H. S.

This offers an opportunity for every student to display his individual talent lwefore the student hody. During the past year many interesting pro- grams were presented in the form of quizzes, panel discussions, group recitation, musical, and hohhy programs. These were under the capable direction of Miss Weinert with the following ollicers presiding: FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS Praridwzt , . , . ROBERT HUNsBI2RGER Vice-Prexiderzt . . .

Every week there appears in the 'Souderton Independent a popular column called Public School News which is eagerly scanned by the students ofS. H. S. This column reports the athletics, activities, and individual escapades of school life. Public School News is under the guiding and coordinating influence of Mrs. Kleist. Four senior editors, Mary ,lane Fetherman, Betty Hartzell, George Neff, and Shirley Snoke, alternately collect suggestions for news articles and assign them to the nine junior and sophomore reporters. These re- porters collect the facts and write the articles in an interesting manner. A number of features appear each week or, if not weekly, with some semblance of regularity. ln addition there are straight news articles which include sports writeups, lyceum numbers, assemblies, and class activities. Junior High News, a column read avidly by lower classmen, is devoted ex- clusively to the activities and antics of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The inquiring reporter of the week asks a cross section of students their opinions on a question appropriate to the season or current school interest. Introducing is a feature which introduces you to students who participate in or lead various school activities. Did You Seem? is a small but popular group of questions which brings OLIK of obscurity interesting and sometimes humorous incidents or observations often over- looked. A new feature in the form of a quiz has firmly entrenched itself in Public School News. lt tests your powers of observation and memory by asking questions about the activities, students, and teachers which everyone thinks he knows so well. Of course, ramblings under the titles The Long and Short of lt and Just Browsing remain the perennial favorites. ln spite of the hard work which continues from September until June with few holidays and the rapidity with which Friday, 4:00 P.M. fthe deadlinel rolls around, there are rewards for this work. The thrill of seeing one's first original article in print, the gratification of reading all the ramblings one wrote in a week, and the satisfaction of knowing that one's writing has improved, are sufficient com- pensation forthe headaches and midnight oil. PAGE 44 I DIA ECHO Perhaps you can remember when S. H. S. students first published a magazine known as the Indian Echo. This publication, which was started in 1939 to encourage creative writing and art work among the students, was discontinued as a result of war conditions. This year, because of student enthusiasm and keen interest on the part of Miss Weinert, the magazine was revived. She, Miss Fisher and Mr. Gaz- dick have very capably supervised the publication ofthe school magazine. The Hlndian Echo is a magazine of va- ried contentefshort stories, sports articles, essays, editorials, poetry, gossip columns, alumni notes, and puzzles. The editorial worla did not fall exclusively upon the staff, many of the original articles were gleaned from compositions written by the students for English classes. The great number of copies sold proves its success. However, this would never have been possible without the coopera- tive elliorts of the editorial, business and art stalls. The printing department was responsible for the printing and binding of our illustrated magazine.

S. has been duly impressed by their excellent per- formance and the lively interest taken by their members in things musical. Although the Chorus practised diligently every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, it did not make an appearance until the Christmas season when it produced A Mystery for Christmas , its second ap- pearance was at the annual Spring Concert. At midyear an octette composed of eight seniors from the Chorus was organized. This popular group made numerous appearances in local churches, clubs, and civic organizations. When football season opened, the band appeared at each game with unique formations and difficult maneuvers. During basketball season the band performances were a featured highlight, at each home game new and intricate formations helped to attract huge crowds of supporters. When the winter athletic season closed, the band was free to concentrate on more difiicult music in preparation for the Spring Concert. S. H. S. gave a good account of itself in other musical organizations. Sixteen of our band members took part in the third annual Bux-Mont Band Concert which, was held at Souderton. This popular band is composed of the best musicians in the Bux-Mont League. Six band members participated in the Southeastern District Band which includes Delaware, Chester, and Montgomery Counties. In tryouts for these bands some of our musicians brought distinction to S. H. S. by winning first chair position. During the summer months the band continued its rehearsals and participated in a number of parades. It won first prize at Bristol and second prize at Green Lane. It also won second prize at the Hallowe'en Parade at Hatfield. The same group of musicians and majorettes who had appeared in the Marching Band Beams feature of the 1948 Festival of Music, staged a repeat performance at the Eagles' football game at the Municipal Stadium, Philadelphia on September 10. Our musical organizations are definitely an advantage and asset to both school and town. They bring honor and distinction to Mr. Foulke and valuable experience to the members. PAGE 51 Trombone ff R.

These were the numbers you heard as our football team went into action. We didn't win any games, but other schools knew we had a fighting team as they left the field after 48 minutes of hard, spirited play- mg. The Sell-Perk game was one of the high spots of the season. Although they fought to a scoreless tie, both teams gave a good account ofthemselves by playing a hard, clean game. The first night game ever played on Souderton's held found the largest and most enthusiastic crowd of the season. S. H. S. supporters eagerly hoped to see the hometown team pit its brawn against a traditional rival. Lansdale, having had a substantial lead during the entire game, won by a 47-7 score. As the boys trudged off the field after their last game, they were disappointed. Although they had won no games, they should be given credit for the line spirit and good sportsmanship they displayed throughout the SCZISOH. RICHARD BLANK . . . end . . . good pass receiver.

This conglomeration of pig Latin needs no explanation to the small, enthusiastic group of hockey fans who attended the games. The hockey maids, under Miss Martin's capable coaching, were quite successful this year. They completed the season in third place. Since only one game was played with each team, the season was very short. Our team won two games, lost two, and tied one. The lassies' strength was remarkable since they began practice with only eight experienced players. However, the squad practiced so diligently that at the end of the season seventeen girls were eligible for letters. Since only seven of these girls are members of the class of '49, next year's team will have a strong nucleus. It is our sincere wish that Miss Martin and her girls will be even more successful next year. PHYLLIS JONES . . . center . . . good spirit . . . agile scooper . . . fights to the bitter end.

Under the direction of Coach Maza these boys learned their football fundamentals, hoping for success on the senior high team. This year's team had a poor season. Dick Taylor was the spearhead of the attack with plenty of help from the other backfield members and the line. They gave each team a good battle and fought heard until the final Whistle. These boys are to be commended for their fine spirit and they should be of great value to the future varsity squads.

This year's team was made up of fellows who were smaller than most of their opponents. To compensate for this disadvantage they had to fight extra hard but suffered defeat in the end. These fellows deserve credit for their undying spirit. We wish them better luck as they advance to the varsity squad. The following boys received letters: Richard Taylor, captain, Richard Frantz, John Bergey, Richard Shelly, James Bishop, Bruce Fenstermacher, and Richard Shoemaker, manager.

The team won 13 games and lost 5 thus placing third in the leaguefthe highest place a Souderton quintet has achieved for several years. There were many exciting games during the season including a double overtime victory over Jenkintown and another one over Sell-Perk. One of the most exciting games played this year was the second one with Lansdale which resulted in a score of41-39 in favor of the Huskies. Four Souderton players passed the century mark in scoring which helped the team win a number of games: Wormy Alderfer led the league with 302 pointsg George Landis 163g Knute Frederick 117, and Bob Dorn 103.

They're crazy about it! The forwards were really sharpeshooters and the guards adept at breaking up the plays of the opposing team. The Souderton maids lost three games -two ofthem to the Sell-Park champs, and one to Ambler. an independent team. They outplayed every other team in the league and deserved to win the championship. The most important factor contributing to the success of the girls was their keen interest in the sport and excellent team spirit. -lol-.N Lanny , . . next year's captain . . . small . . .a dead shot . . . high scorer with 133 points.

The class of '49 cannot and would not dispute these words. We who have come triumphantly through four wearying years of constant struggle can only be regarded as V. I. P. Cvery important personsj BASHFUL FRESHMEN We first entered the portals of S. H. S. as freshmen in the fall of 1945. One hundred thirty-nine of us in- stantly gained distinction as the largest class ever to enter S. H. S. Extremely green around the gills and taking a long time to get acquainted, we finally elected class oflicers in March. We chose Arden Slotter, president, Walton Moyer, vice-presi- dent, Helen Trumbore, secretary, and Flo Allebach, treasurer. The yellow tearose was selected as our class flower and maroon and white as the class colors. The close of our freshman year found us much wiser in the ways of high school teachers and pupils, and more confident and eager to continue our climb toward the senior class. SILLY SOPHOMORES It was a pleasure to walk into school the first day of our sophomore year. We had climbed one rung of the educational ladder. How proud we were to sit in back of Row G in assembly instead of occupying the front rows. As wordly wise sophomores we were liberal with advice to the timorous, lost freshmen for we still remembered the mountains and molehills that had confronted us as freshmen. The results of our class election were as follows: John Hilderbrandt, presiclentg Leroy Wolf, vice- presidentg Helen Trumbore, secretaryg and Flo Alle- bach, treasurer. We tried our hand at organization by assuming the responsibility for the Thanksgiving Dance after the seniors refused to sponsor it. Results-a fair success. As the school term ended we impatiently waited to become juniors so that we could begin to do things. LORDLY JUNIORS After a wonderful vacation we rather reluctantly returned to school with a new air of sophistication and determination to make history in S. H. S. At our first class meeting we re-elected John Hilder- brandt to the presidency and Helen Trumbore as secretary. Walton Moyer was elected vice president and Flo Allebach remained our treasurer. The usual confusion about ring sizes, initials, and prices was climaxed late in November by the arrixgal of our school rings. Feeling extremely energetic we sponsored an open semi-formal dance, Kris Kringle's Ball, on December 23, 1947. The Skylinersn supplied the music. The host and hostess were Leon Dillinger and Flo Alle- bach, George Neff presided as Master of Ceremonies. The gym was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Our prom! The financial wizardry of our pie and cake sale made possible an elaborate program for the Junior-Senior Prom. The event was preceded by several stormy class meetings at which time the open or closed prom problem was discussed. On May 21 the gym was Under the Sea in Davy Jones's Locker, with Ed Hall and his orchestra furnishing the music. Jean Staude and Kenneth Yeakel were the host and hostess, and Donald Kirkpatrick, the master of cere- monies. Two seniors, Catherine Shoemaker and Robert White, were crowned King and Queen Nep- tune. Anotherdance! About one-third of our class bought tickets for the Youth Concerts given by the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Academy of Music. Another first for the class of '49. Remember the singing on the bus, and the food consumed at Howard Johnsons in Ambler? Our Spanish students distinguished themselves on Pan American Day by presenting a very successful program under the supervision of Miss Finelli. Rhoda Clemmer and Emma Betty Shelley stole the show by performing the difficult Mexican hat dance. Junior Day! We saw the seniors off to Washington at 6:00 A.M. Cho-huml in our Sunday best instead of the little kid and lollypop costume of preceding years. Following the traditional farewell, we raided Trainers' and other eating places for breakfast- After school, many of us toured Valley Forge. In the evening, dressed more comfortably in jeans and plaid shirts, we attended a doggie roast at Green Lane. Whatapicnic! STATELY SENIORS The height of accomplishment! At last we approached the end of our high school career for commencement was only a few months away. Our Unaliyi is only a partial record of our senior joys and trials. Its pictures and content are suggestive of many more happy memories. PAGE 80 Our election of class oflicers brought with it a big surprise. Laverne Alderfer was elected president, Robert Hunsberger, vice president, jean Staude, secretary and Flo Allebach, treasurer. On Thanksgiving evening we sponsored a dance for alumni and underclassmen. This was perhaps our most successful dance because there were actually as many fellows as girls attending. Fantastic, isn't it? Our red and white class hats, emblems and pennants arrive during the basketball season. We wore the hats and emblems to all the games and tacked up the pennants on our bedroom wall. Again some of us attended the Youth Concerts in Philadelphia. The programs were very much en- joyed, especially the short ballet. On December 15 we visited the Allentown State Hospital via Hagey's Buses-a trip which sobered many of us. Although so large a group as ours could not be taken to many of the wards, we were shown the senile and children's wards as well as some of their facilities for recreation and occupational therapy . We were the guests of the junior class at their Christmas dance-The Sno Ball. The social events of the year were climaxed by the junior-Senior Prom and as seniors we enjoyed ourselves immensely since we had no responsibilities or worries. Extremely busy with the extra senior activities of yearbook and play productions, time passed quickly and the end of our senior year approached. The honor students were selected and preparations were initiated for the commencement exercises. Off we went to see Washington and Annapolis. We returned completely exhausted!! Class Day loomed before us! We made an attempt to reconstruct our high school career and cram if into one grand fling. The following evening wasn't very gay. We solemnly listened to the commencement speakers, applauded approvingly when the prizes were awarded, then went forward to receive our diplomas, Now we separated, never to see some of our class- mates again, but who will ever forget that he was once a part of the Class of '49, CLASS WILL We, the class of 1949 of Souderton High School, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby be- queath to our friends the following possessions: DOTTY Fur-:R wills her smooth driving ability to Donald Hunsberlger, who had almost as many permits as she ha .
