W W H HISTORY OF WILSON HIGH SCHOOL The name of the school, Wilson High, was chosen in the hope that the life ot the man in whose honor it was named, Woodrow Wilson, might serve as an ideal for the young people attending it. The school seal symbolizes the qualities Wilson stands for-the book for the acquirement ot knowledge, and the lamp tor the interpretation and application ot it to the world's problems. The high school was dedicated with a most impressive tormal ceremony on Thursday, November l4, l929, and since has grown to be one ot the county's largest and most active high schools. The high school at the present day has reached an all-time record attendance of 630 students. With this student body the building is overcrowded, but in spring it is the aim of the school board to annex a west wing to this building. It is the desire of the class to see a well-built and complete building in the future. 3353335 1 Q 3 6 225222 ---- eeeefxflzfffziff Page Five 322323232 5i523EWi Z S O a 113333333 5.

Hs is evidenced by his concern on the six-room addition to be put to the high school this spring, we know that he has the interest of the school at heart. We, the Class of 1930, extend our heartiest welcome to the new prin- cipal and hope that his future years at Wilson High will be as successful as this has been. MR. WILLIHM C. KUTZ Born in Kutztown, luly 27, 1900, William C. Kutz represents the eighth generation of a family of French Huguenots who came to this country from Picardy in France. Upon graduation from Keystone State Normal School in 1918, he enlisted in the U. S. Hrmy Medical Corps for the duration of the war. ln September, 1920, he was elected grade school principal, Whitsett, Fayette County, and in September, 1921, he was promoted to high school staff, Perry Township High School, Pennsylvania. ' ln Iune, 1922, he resigned from the teaching position to enter Franklin and Marshall College where he earned an H. B. degree in 1924, after which he was elected to the social science posi- tion in Northampton, and the following year he was promoted to assistant principal of the same school. This position he retained until 1927 when he was elected principal of the Northampton Iunior High School, where he developed a new school organization in a new building. ln 1930 he became supervising principal of the Pine Grove Public Schools in Schuylkill County. ln 1935 he came to Wilson High School, where as principal he is developing a building pro- gram including the beautification of grounds and organization of the school to meet require- ments of the Middle Htlantic States Hssociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. He is a member of the P. S. E. H. and life member of the National Education Plssociation. Ht present he is engaged in graduate work for the degree of Doctor of Education at Penn State. Since 1930, he has been certified by the State Department of Public Instruction as High School Principal and Supervising Principal as well as Superintendent of Schools.

Today to the school on the hill we have plod, Renewing schooltime friendships with cheery smiles and a nod. There are the juniors, the sophomores, the freshmen, and all, But the seniors most seriously have answered the call. To take up the stranded threads of our courses, Enthusiastically we exercise our best personal resources: So--to recall our earnest struggles with text book romances, Read the diary of the seniors of '36 in the following stanzas. I SEPTEMBER Fifty-nine seniors strenuously push pencil and pen. Two weeks of September have nearly passed and then- We're off to relax at the old Reading Fair: Even Friday, the thirteenth, doesn't give us a sccre. But back to our duties we wander once more, For election of class officersg we honor all four, Under this chosen leadership we plan our routine- H doggie roast, plays, dances, and weird Hallowe'eng Find as the H. Pi. is launched at the close of September, We are proud to disclose every senior a member. With this same fine attitude in all work, we'll strive To interest underclassmen in our purposeful drive. I OCTOBER October first finds a new issue at bay: The English De-partment's revision-H Book Report Day. On the third our seriousness we scarcely can retain When Mr. Hunter introduces the magazine campaign. H motion picture demonstration reveals that organized effort will mean Many interesting interludes with a sound on film machine. On the fourteenth, on Rrbor Day, in assembly we wage Our plea for Nature's protection in the first program staged. Hfter this promising success we are anxious to learn The selection of our Yearbook staff with interested concern. In co-operation we muster our whole-hearted support, Hs carefully we mould and plan this idealized report. Meanwhile there are other channels in which we direct our interest: The debating teams are chosen, and our class play brings to test Some very capable class talent for a daring mystery, The proceeds of which we hope will fill our needy treasury. Our class meeting on the twenty-third reveals an opportune chance To replenish these decreasing funds with the approaching Hallowe'en dance. That night: The fence rails, the fodder, the pumpkins' eery glare, E'en the novel Ghost Lane catches us unaware. Congratulations are resounding as the seniors leave this night, The ending of a busy month warm with victory's light. 333E3E3E3E3E3E3E?E5E5E5E5EEE3E5355552323252 1 9 3 6 E253E33333235555EiiziziiiififgE3E3ifSiE5E3E3EEE5EEE?E5E525533525 Page Twenty-seven egg333553252333533323253535252523?3E3i:2:2:35E3EeEEE'W1: I S 0 n Cl 11?225E3Ee32?3?5E3EeE2132? NOVEMBER . November's greeting impels an urge V To hasten decisions that arguments submergeg Perge is our motto with unanimous support, But the subject of class colors raises many a harsh retort. Hn intervening soccer game the November eighth afternoon Shatters championship aspirationsp but with sportsmanship atune, Some seek the evenings band concert and a Tarzan picture's tenacity To ease their defeat in an auditorium filled to capacity. Then on the twelfth, as we welcome the ring committee's selections, The West Pointer entrances the class and is chosen by election. But three days later with an anxious start we are facing H's, B's, and C's or a failure's straight lacing. . Then, With quarterly reports well signed and returned, Hnother big senior moment can be discerned. On the twentieth and twenty-first to the public we present The Before Morning mystery with many an approving comment. The success of this performance paves a way for our project, We are discussing ads and the delicate color subject. Maroon, cream and sand in their effectiveness persuade H favorable decision with the red rose as its mate. But close on our heels comes our Thanksgiving affair Demanding ticket distribution and planning with care. The atmosphere of the season due to festive decorations Flgain proves a triumph to our artists' aspirations. Hn enjoyable evening of dancing-then weary feet are shuffling, Hs homeward bound they smile to dream of turkey and the stuffing. O DECEMBER We're back to our classes, and a dazzling array ls the spirited greeting of our annual Color Day. The white for sportsmanly play, the red for vigorous fight: These will keep Wilson's torch of victory alight. H very interesting episode is fastly gathering momentum, Clubs involve wide interests that everyone may assume. There is still the Home Room Program we very much wonder about, But whether the weekly pep meeting needs an introduction, we doubt. Our sports' sense is heightened when on the ninth we soar Over the gridirons of fame with Coach Munn's football lore. On the eighteenth We experience the annual best of treats, Robesonia's stirring Egyptian drama finds us on the edge of our seats. But two days later comes the most welcome day of the year: The Glee Club Candle Procession and Christmas parties are here. What a fun-ridden party, and can we ever forget- Visions of refreshments and mackerel linger with us yet. The next night above the climax of our great holiday jubilee Revolves a softly lighted crystal with brisk alacrityg Upon this beautifully decorated last dance of the year, It sheds a radiant farewell till the new year's dawn is here. 2335552325252523222323532E3S5EEEEEESEE?E3E3E?EEi?E?E?E5E3E5E 1 9 .3 6 EEEEEEEEEESEEEEEE3EEEEEEEEEEEEEESEEZ Page Twenty-eight 332223222EEISIEYEYEQEEEEEEZESEEWi Z S Q n a H55223SEEEEEEESEEEEEEEQEEEEEE32'ZEEEEEEEEESEEEEEEES IHNUHRY Ring out the false, ring in the true. On lanuary 5 that's the school bell's cueg H puzzling sparkle finds the seniors quite cheerful Despite broken resolutions that may have rendered us tearfulg If you can't guess the solution of this mysterious thing, lust ask jolly, old St. Nicholas, he'll say it's our class ring. Then l3ldam and Eva, the faculty play, holds audiences in tow, First we are delighted, then shocked-such stirring lingol This success is followed by a lull' in the school's retinue, Pls the week of the twentieth finds a blizzard's ravages undue. This brief period of respite is hardly over when Operetta try-outs and debating are confronting us again. Our Year book is also demanding more serious attentiong Hds and patrons seem to be the subject of constant mention. Find as Ianuary draws to a close with one semester over, Hn operetta song expresses it well, Life isn't all honey and clover. I FEBRUHPY Snowy February makes an interesting debut, Our program hints of humor, yet there's anxiety there, too, For while we smile and marvel at faculty volley ball, Western Division honors are pending for varsity basketball. Lincoln's birthday brings to us the most humorous and serious of men- Mr. Moll, our founder, we are glad to welcome again. Pl fire siren on St. Valentine's morn gives the warning signal Snow-bound To hundreds of eager, straining ears its music goes round and round. Old Man Weather is loathe to give Dan Cupid his wary chance, Pls we postpone to the twenty-second our Patriotic-Valentine Dance. Then for the first time in our history this late February date Hail Wilson's champs of Western Berks with an undefeated slate. But here's another success which Wilson is proud to reap- Hs our second radio drama presents enjoyable Christabelle's Sheep. Yet wonder of wonders, February still exists, it seems, Pls we laud the fiery orators of our persevering debating teams. Then amidst the choice of an engraver and numerous pep meetings, This leap year month in warning leaves its snowy farewell greetings. C MHRCH The brewing ides of March along our paths have sown Welcome seeds of victory as Boyertown rooters groan, But Perry's triumphant rally claims the Berks championship seat, Crowning our basketball season with sportsmanly defeat. Hs the din of glorious battle leaves behind no bitterness, Spring fever wreaks its havoc of absent-mindednessg Or could the laxity of classes be due to our operetta? We're biding our time these balmy days way down South in Sonora. On the twenty-seventh gay songs, dances, and asquaw's lullaby croon Weave their spell as the audience responds to the pathos of Spanish Moon. This success finds active seniors eagerly resigning to rest, Wanting news that is peaceful and quiet like the tuberculosis test.

The twenty-third is that memorable date, But the twenty-eighth marks one more on our slate. Ioint plans of the juniors and seniors are laid To blend our goodwill in a grande promenade. Then humming with memories this busy May closes, But we eagerly anticipate the lune month of roses. O IUNE Oh, what is so rare as a day in Tune? Only Lowell's words could fit its tuneg But these perfect days harbor notes of regret For hours we'll remember though the world may forget. Hs on Class Night Little Women's beloved story we repeat, One chapter of our lives is nearly completeg But the finishing touch is a more solemn procedure Hs gown-clad aspirants discuss opportunities for leisure. But now a voice cries, Perge, so be true to our themeg For our ships are drifting down a widening stream.

Such a person is Oscar Oswald Ostermoor. Oscar is a young man more than gifted with a flow of language commonly known as the gift of gab. He has sold everything from liver pills to automobile polish, including soothing syrup and corn plasters. He incurs the jeers of the populace and the hatred of the Martin family, where he goes courting the elder daughter, Mae, who alone has faith in him. Through a well-meaning blunder, he is responsible for young Martin losing his job, and also talks the younger sister's fiance out of his job at a grocery. Ht the same time the father loses his position with the railroad due to more of Oscar's well-meaning talk. Even Mae finally loses faith in him, but Oscar maintains a spirit of optimism and constantly chants, You will find the world is shining, like a silver lining, if you smile, smile, smile. Eventually, through his persistence and optimism, Oscar puts through a deal that is the dream of his life-a cut-rate grocery company, and by which Mae's family is almost miraculously saved from financial ruin.

But before morning ,she is accused of murder. For Iames Nichols drops dead in her apartment, and Dr. Gruelle discovers Nichols has been poisoned! Suspicion points to Elsie, espe- cially when Dr. Gruelle finds Nichols' will leaving his fortune to Elsie and her child. But the blackmailing doc- tor offers to report the death as due to heart failure if Elsie will pay him half the bequest. Elsie dares not call the police-the evidence against her is too complete. She believes Barker will turn against her if she is charged with such a crime, and when Nichols' estranged brother arrives, the desperate girl finds herself fac- ing two mortal enemiesl 'Dr. Gruelle is then disclosed as a police officer, after which Iames' brother is convicted of the murder. The story ends happily with the reunion of Elsie and Horace. 2323353525EEEEEEEESEEEEEEEEEEEEQE5E3E5S3E9E5i5i3E3E55255325235 1 9 3 6 53232523225325352252323:1Ziififififiigliiiiiggiiiiifigl see: f2222fWi Z S 0 n i Cl South in Sonora Pin Operetta in Three Plcts Music-Charles Cadman Libretto-Charles and Iuanita Ross STORY Don Ricardo, a rich Mexican rancher, is father of tive daughters, all beautiful save Catalina. 9. group ot Plrnerican mining engineers and college boys are guests at a fiesta.

The story abounds with action, humor, and pa- thos. How can we forget the wild romping tomboy Io and her desire 'to be the man of the family'g of her sacrificing her glorious hair to help finance her mother's trip to Washington when the telegram arrived saying her father was dying, of her writing 'The Christmas Play' and rehearsing Hmy in the fainting scene, her side- splitting pranks with Laurie, her quarrel with Hmy, who had destroyed her first writ- ten Copyp her beautiful scenes with Beth when they both knew the Plngel of Death was hovering near, of her going to New York, meeting Professor Bhaer in Mrs. Krick's rooming house, their comedy courtship and ultimate marriageu? ln conclud- ing our summary let us not forget Hunt March and her crochety croakings against the love affair of Meg and fohn Brooke and her weakening when the twins, Daisy and Demi, arrive, and finally Laurie's bewilderment upon discovering that his heart and hand belonged to Hmy and not Io.

When the first practice was called, the turnout of soccer fans was larger than any previous year. Flfter a Week of strenuous drilling, the Wilson soccer team met and defeated Oley, thus winning the first game of the season. This victory provided an impetus for the players and rooters for the remainder of the soccer season, gaining for them a commendably successful soccer record. Hfter a few games the best playing combination was finally developed with Hepner, Reeser, Nein, and Reinsel filling in the vacancies left by Capt. Hacker, Sheidy, Moyer, and Stoudt of last year's combination. Hlter play- ing successfully the position of C. F. for most of the season, Waz Mengel, a lad with plenty of fighting spirit and grit, unfortunately broke his leg in a late season game with Wyomissing. Reiff took his place for the bal- ance of the season and played very well in this all-important position. The team, inspired by Capt. Wolf, made the second bid for the Western title. H victory over Robesonia placed us in a tie with Wyomissing. Wilson lost credibly to Wyomissing in the play-off by the score of 2-U. However, this defeat detracts but little from the success and spirit of this season, and We hope next year's team may prove just as successful.

Qfter a previous record ot two successful years under the leadership ot Miss Frances Fidler and Miss Elizabeth Nicely, respectively, the team this year, With Miss Lovenia Miller as coach, again made a valiant at- tempt in the events at East Stroudsburg on .Qpril 4. The team also exhibited their skill at Wer- nersville High and at the Gym Exhibition in Wilson With commendable applause. Their accom- plishments include marching, calisthenics, tumbling, apparatus Work, and dancing.

Hble ball handlers were found to take the place of the graduates, and there were very few changes in the lineup during the year. Hfter the pre-season games were completed, Wilson met Robesonia in the first league game. The quintet proved to the rooters of the commu nity and school that they had the pluck neces-- sary to become a championship team. They breezed thru the first half of the season undefeated. The Presidents continued their Winning streak throughout the season, capturing twenty vic- tories and losing only three games: to Pine Grove, the Hlumni, and Perry. This resulted in Wilson High representing the Western Division in the county playoffs. Then followed a period of extensive drilling under our capable coach, Earl Unger, in preparation for the coming playoffs in the Hrmory. The first tiff, with Boyertown, found the Unger men primed and eager to go. Boyertown was eliminated by the score of 24-l9 with Reeser as the spearhead of the attack. Two days later found the quintet meeting the strong, sharp-shooting Perry aggregation. This proved too much for our fighting spirited boys, and as a result they were outpointed Sl-40 after a very fine game of basketball. Every Wilson High student and every member of the community should be, and we believe is, proud of the fine team which Coach Unger has produced this year. We hope the teams of the future can measure up to or surpass the standard of sportsmanship and playing ability shown at Wilson this year. s2z2z23232s25232z2s2... 25235 1 Q 3 6 25252 f '1'1' 5 222222 1'1'1ii3E Page Sixty-two I s 0 ni a BHSKETBHLL RECORD, 1935-1936 Date Team Results Place Wilson Opponents Nov Birdsboro Won Home 7 Nov.

Finally, after cutting down a squad of thirty players, Coach Unger has a Well set team for the coming season. Wilson copped the first game of the season from Wernersville 2-l in a fine pitching duel. Wilson de- feated Womelsdorf 9-U and trounced Bethel 25 to l in four and one-half innings. Wilson's first setback came at the hands of Bernville 2-U. Hgain Wilson enters the Winning column by de- feating Bobesonia ll-O. ln the remaining five tilts With Bobesonia, Wernersville, Womelsdorf, Bethel, and Bernville, Wilsons hope of retaining the championship depends upon the outcome of the Wilson-Bernville game.

Wilson has taken advantage of the new field by having a dual meet with Wyomissing and an inter-class meet. Wilson has been represented in all the important track and field meets in Berks County. The Wil- son trackmen captured ninth place in a field of twenty schools competing at Fllbright Stadium. Ht the West Reading interscholastic meet it placed sixth in a field of nineteen schools. The Iunior High 880-yard relay team, composed of Kendall, Kline, Kauffman, and Hepner, has been exceptionally successful in that it has won the Pl. W. Golden and the West Reading Hlumni trophies for that event. lt has also been instrumental in the winning of the Charles F. Moyer trophy. We hope the track and field men can make as good a showing at Kutztown, May 9th, as they have during the season so far. 222322 9 3 6 22222 f:1:1:1:f: 1s:3E2l5:32EiEE3E225:3z Page Sixty-five .2: :li:::,:f::t:::,... - ---- A '- 5 i.j:.j:,jWi Z S O fn i al 112333253 BOYS' VOLLEYBHLL Inaugurating its first year in Wilson High School, boys' inter-class volleyball proved to be a great sport. The volleyball league was composed of four teams -the faculty, seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Hll games were played in the gymnasium at the noon hour and were attended by a crowd of students. The senior team, proud to be the winning combination, captured l4 games against 4 defeats. The faculty ranked second, followed by the juniors, and then the sophomores. GIRLS' VOLLEYBHLL Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls also established a volleyball tourna- ment, dividing it into two divisions-junior and senior high. The seniors, after having won in senior high, were defeated by the 9-2 section of the freshmen class in the final play-off. Probably the most notable game of the season was the game between the seniors and the faculty. Grace, form, and skill, such as was never before displayed, .was exhibited by the faculty members, much to the delight of the whole student body. GIRLS' HOCKEY H new sport in Wilson High School, hockey, was found interesting and enjoyable to all who participated. This game, which is played with eleven contestants on each side, proved that the girls have the courage and ability to try something new. Since this was not a varsity sport, an inter-class league was formed. The senior lassies won the championship for senior high, the 9-2 section of the freshmen class, for junior high. The seasonal play-off ended with a deadlock between the championship teams. 5E5E3E5E2E3E5E1-EY-EYEY:-1 Y S5255 1 Q .3 6 2252 Page Sixty-eight i 2 s S -. Q 5 Q z , 5 if K?

Must OUR life be wasted and drone Because We think our Wisdom's complete? Must we idle and wait for a gnome To lay trophies at our feet? Why can't we just hope, and aspire, Resolve, and trust in a bright star, Then wholeheartedly kindle the fire Rnd rise to our destiny afar? They say life's a battle in which each one Must fight and hold his own, But should YOU hope to reach the sun, You will have to battle alone. The world gives you flowers and sincere applause Rt graduation time, But the world will soon forget you because You make no attempt to climb. So you must forget this critical world With its hard and stubborn blast, For fate will bestow success unfurled To you whose persistence lasts. For from under all outward semblances The world looks for merit true, It does not require remembrances, But asks, lust what can you do? -C. Th eodorc Dry. HN ODE TO MOTHER What money could buy that wonderful love From the one that is so dear? What priceless gift do we have from above? It's Mother, who comforts and cheers. For all the silver that is placed in her hair, Rnd for all the blue in her eyes,- There is nothing to be found-no, not anywhere That is to me such a treasured prize. Though many hours she has spent in toil, ' She regrets not even one. She shares all our worries and corrects things we foil Rnd for us many a victory she's won. May God bless my Mother the rest of her days, Rnd help me her joys to others impart, Rnd though there may be a parting of ways, She'll ever remain down deep in my heart. -Dorice E. Haffr. HMBITION The ambitions of a lifetime Rre not fulfilled in a single day, So we must ever travel onward, 'Long the dimly lighted way. The grade is ever upward, On ambitions rocky road, Rnd sometimes 'tis so very hard To bear ambition's load. So we must struggle forward Rnd seldom look for pay, Rnd bear the load just by ourselves, Rnd watch--and fight-and pray. Then if we reach the summit, We'll keep it by our pride, But if we fail, we won't be blue- We'll just be glad we tried. -1 ohm R od gem. H BHTTLEGROUND OF NRTURE Darkness blends with the morning gray, Rs dawn breaks forth o'er the briny deep, Rnd the sun emerges to start the day With a calmness deceptive-like Mars asleep. For as the sun starts its slow ascent, The clouds surround it and hide it away, Rnd the sea is alone with its evil intent To rouse its furies at break of day. For Neptune is in a warlike mood, Rnd with wind and rain as his aides-de-camp, Launches his attack, the storm is brewed, Rnd forward madly his soldiers tramp. The sky begins an air attack. Rs the shrieking wind howls the command In furious tones, the clouds contract, Rnd the rain beats down on the hapless sand. Line after line of the forces attacks, Then falls back slowly with its captured sand. Rnd the sea is victorious as each breaker cracks Upon the unsuspecting land. The continuous battering on the shoreline defense Enfeebles the foe, foreshadows surrender. Land resists, but of no consequence- lt realizes that it's the o'erpoWered defender. Rnd now that the battle of Nature is o'er. Rnd peace is declared twixt sea and land, The victor resumes his calm once more, Rnd the defeated foe seems to understand. Once again the sun peeps out, But now 'tis low and westward bound, Rnd, ignorant of what the day has brought, Beams down on Nature's Battleground. ffanife Merfdillz Calwrt.

Beside the suffering of that child, Rh! Mine must be the lighter, That woeful face-had it ever smiled? Would I could make it brighter! Rs I paused on' my intended mission, Her beckoning at my heart strings toreg She entreatingly bade me to vision Her plight through the open door. Into a drab little room she led me, My own cares left behind in the rain. Rt a lowly bedside on bended knee I soothed a feverish brow from pain. Responding to my kindly ministering, The weary soul peacefully slept. But my eyes were gently lingering On the child who tremulously wept. Then sensing my eyes upon her, Those tears fled away whence they came. It was not until then that I noticed Her little foot crippled and lame. Rs I watched, her hair framed a halo Rbout a smile that slumbering mother should see, Rnd lo! through the window a rainbow Rrched a joy I thought never could be. Forgetting that morning's sorrow and woe For life I found myself caring. My service, my sympathy, my life I owe To the happiness I found in sharing. -Ruth Shout. . SUCCESS I wonder how it happens, I was Thinking hard one day, That some succeed in early life Rnd some just drift away. Then I thought of early childhood Rnd the ways the children know, Trying out a sudden impulse or Obeying orders as they go- Rnd I said, It doesn't happen. It's responding to the interests and The urge to do one's best, Then building up a habit that Will stand the later test. Now we know the help we needed Was the chance to try our wings, Rnd the way to independence Comes in doing little things. It is not merely to be wished for, It is labor thru the years. It is neither luck nor fortune That overcomes our fears, For success doesn't happen, It is planned thru many years, 'Tis the efforts of a lifetime Intermingled with its joys and tears. -Helen Pierre. POEMS SCHOOL DHYS I always dreaded the thought of school, That is, before I started. But when I learned it was the rule, I decided not to be downhearted. 'Twas mother who accompanied me On that my very first school day. What strange happenings did I see Rs I started on my way? Thus I launched my grade school years Which came and went so fast. Before I knew it, I was shedding tears, For I had finished sixth grade at last. Those days like others came and went With experiences new arising. You don't know what to me this meant Unless you saw me surmising. Eighth and ninth were much the same Rs seventh grade had been. Rbout that time depression came, That's how I learned to take it on the chin. Rnd now in tenth-did I feel big? To dances I started going. Oh, how hard I had to dig That year to stand a showing! Eleventh grade, and what a change With parties, class dues, and plays. Could you find a wider range Of plans to make for future days? Practically through this year am I. Imagine dreading the thought of school! For graduation thoughts now make me cry, Rlthough it will give me my future fuel. Rnd thus to a close I must bring this poem Rbout my school life in days which have passed. I now have the feeling that I must roam Into a future that ever will last. - -Thelma E. Hassel. THE BEST DRYS Thou can'st not have forgotten all, Rll that you learned in school, Ifrule, For besides your lessons and the golden You learned how to work and play, To find things to do all the day- Like dignified seniors. School days are almost goneg Never will they return. Iadjourn, Tho' most of us are not aware that when we now 'T will not be for fun and joy, But will be to find a buoy- Rn anchor for us seniors. The time when life was all abubble, With joy for us as well as trouble, We'll dream of when we are old and gray, Rnd are thinking of friends From a bygone day- The days when we were seniors. -Mary Jane Lauter. - A - - - - - -f'---: 5 EEE 1 9 3 6 25255325EififififiiifififEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZEEEEEZEE5533235533353 Page Seventy-one 'Butch Beard I I 'Ted Dry 'l:'ritz Gaul t !Les Reinert I 'Dot Blimline I 1 I NICKNHME Snoozer Bachman Spaghett Barz Tracy Berger Ted Blessing Coach Burger Gloomy Christen Pee-Wee Dewald Fat Eberly Ioe Elmer Boog Focht Polly Horning !Centsworth Keiser 'Stan Lehn 'Mutileru Leibold 'Goldieu Long 'Bill Miller 'Killer Moyer Pottie Potteiger Sir Goof Reeser Trosky Reinsel 'Bob Rhoads 'Chick Rittenhouse Iohnny Rodgers 'Convict Seidel 'Phil Sternbergh 'Ducky Stuber I Tweedie Vize Cannon Ball Wolf Ziegyn Ziegentuss Kit Berger Iane Bolender Ianice Calvert Olivia Eberly Toots Griesemer Dolly Haier Hag Haag Dot Hatt Sis Hasse!
