YEAR BOOK 5 ? f An Appreciation IVE years ago, Abington High School was the incarnation of youth. It had strength and vitality and courage and beauty. Today it is adding to these attributes a fineness of thought and action, a perfection of understanding anti living, unfailing tokens of the Golden Age about to dawn. Five years ago, there came to Abington Township Joseph C. Weirick, a worker, a teacher, a man. The mountains of Central Pennsylvania, historic mother of men, had molded his character. Penn State and Bucknell, Pennsylvania and Columbia had stimulated his intellect. His passage from the one-room school at Howard through the principalship of the Lock Haven High School to the superintendencv at Ashland had tested his manhood. Today Abington High School bears the indelible impress of that forceful personality which has set it on the road to high achievement. Abington High School has an athletic field perhaps not excelled by any other institution of its class. The teams are well equipped. The coaches are the best. The students whether they win suburban championships or come back to the hilltops after seasons of failure, are loyal to the code of sportsmanship, honorable winners and good losers. Abington High School is the scholastic equal of any other similar institution in the state. The Oracle ranks first among publications of its kind. The debating teams carry off league championships. The-students gain competitive state scholarships. The majority of the pupils graduate alter lour years of consistent industry. At all times Abington High School serves the community faithfully. With whom rests the responsibility for the proud position of Abington High School? With its principal, Joseph C. Weirick, to whom the Class of 1923, in recognition of the above facts, dedicates this year book. “May all his ways be pleasantness, and all his paths—-peace. ”
