The WHITE OAK: the white oak is one of the best oaks with high-grade all-purpose wood. As im- portant as this tree is to the lumbering in- dustry, so imperative is it that we have Boards of Education to provide opportuni- ties for our pupils to develop physically, emotionally, and mentally. We feel this Board is facing these challenges. Seated: Edwin Showers. Alvin Zcrbc, Clarence Mengcl, Mrs. Mac Streaker. George Spannuth. Floyd Koenig.

MI He who plants a tree Plants a joy; Plants a comfort that will never cloy. Every day a fresh reality Beautiful and strong, To whose shelter throng Creatures blithe with song. If thou couldst but know, thou happy tree, Of the bliss that shall inhabit thee! He who plants a tree He plants love. Tents of coolness spreading out above Wayfarers he may not live to see. Gifts that grow are best; Hands that bless are blest; Plant: Life does the rest! Heaven and earth help him who plants a tree, And his work its own reward shall be.” —Lucy Larcom NATURE’S SECRETS, p. 696. S ‘ iM r« mi 4- H -dt

King of the Eastern Forests TO TIIE PENN-BERNVILLE SCHOOL BOARD goes our sincere appreciation for the edu- cational opportunities given to us and espe- cially for the new Homemaking room with all its modern conveniences and for the new Shop with much of the newest and most up-to-date equipment. Seated: Edwin Showers, treasurer; Mrs. Mac R. Streaker, secretary; Clarence W. Mcngcl, president; Rev. Frank W. Ruth. Standing: Alvin S. Zcrbc. vice-president; Walter A. Rohrbaeh. assistant supervising principal. Missing from pic- ture: Raymond E. Mohn. TO THE CLASS OF 1956: i think of your class as one of outstanding achieve- ment both as individuals and as a group. One of our objec- tives at Penn-Bcrnville is to try to do whatever we do just a little better than it was done before. Not only have I seen this spirit shown many times by your class but it has often been mentioned to me by various members of the faculty. You have helped to raise the standards of accomplishment for those who will follow you. Your class experienced two years of school in which you were able to choose courses in which you were particularly interested or in which you felt you could do your best work. I believe this has contributed to your individual achieve- ments. Although we always think of each one of you in terms of your all-around development as a person, a citizen, and a student in all subjects, we have also begun to think of you in the business course as potentially good secretaries or office personnel; of those in the agriculture course as better prepared for your vocation of farming; and of those in the academic course as being more particularly prepared to enter college or other institutions for advanced learning. Many of you have distinguished yourselves in music, in art, in science and mathematics, in writing and speaking, or in athletics. My heartiest congratulations on your 1956 PENNANT. I am confident not only that it will rate high but also that it will be one of the most beautiful in Penn-Bcrnville’s history. MRS. ANNA KOHLHEPP Secretary Every day you will find Mrs. Anna Kohlhcpp, Mr. Rohrbach’s capable sec- retary, hard at work in her office or searching through the supply closet. She is always doing little things to make our days easier. To her goes a vote of thanks from us. ASST. SUPF.RVISING PRINCIPAL
