Foreword depicting formally the more serious aspects of our high school years and informally those phases closely associated with our everyday high school life, we present to you our PENNANT, the theme of which is nature. Since our school is located in an area deeply and intensely beautified by trees, we feel it is fitting to use these wonders of nature for the theme of our annual. we have adopted the families of trees as our headings; and through them you see the pupils, in classes, activities, sports, and social functions, developing their talents and building the foundations which they will need for success in the future. 1955 PENNANT Award Medalist Certificate Columbia Scholastic Press Association Columbia University New York City, New York

HENRY M. BOHN, Business ROBERT H. KLINE, Assistant Business Manager Manager “I do love a good tree. There it stands so strong and sturdy, and yet so beautiful—a very type of the best sort of man. How proudly it lifts its bare head to the winter storms, and with what a full heart it rejoices when the spring was come again! How grand its voice is. too, when it talks with the wind; a thousand aeolian harps cannot equal the beauty of the sighing of a great tree in leaf. All day it points to the sunshine, and all night to the stars: and thus passionless, and yet full of life, it endures through the cen- turies—come storm, come shine—drawing its sustenance from the deep bosom of its mother earth, and, as the slow years roll by, learning the great mysteries of growth and decay. And so on and on through generations; outliving individuals, customs, dynasties—all save the landscape it adorns and human nature.” —H. Rider HaOCARD NATURE’S SECRETS by C. Clyde Fisher.

Dedication MR. HAROLD E. MATTHEW as a symbol of the respect and affection which the Class of 1956 bears him, this volume of the PENNANT is sincerely dedicated to Mr. Harold E. Matthew, teacher of physical education, driver training, science, health, and the advisor to tenth grade. He is also the coach of soccer and baseball. We, having been his first class at Penn-Bcrnvillc, feel that his sincere interest in athletics, his emphasis on fair play, and his sense of friendliness and esthetic values have aided him to show us the value of perseverance, tenacity of purpose, courageous spirit, and devoted scholarship. It was Mr. Matthew who taught us how to conduct school dances successfully. His pupils will long remember him for his understanding and helpful guidance.
