Through the Years- 19911, 19951945 and 1955 Traditions are the common heritage of every high school student in Abington. Every person who has ever danced at the Senior Prom, been a class Thespian, or participated in the Thanksgiv- ing gridiron clash knows what a vivid picture re- mains in his mind. As one who adheres to these long-established customs, he feels a part of the school's history. However, looking forward to life in the new high school now under construction, he is helping .to establish precedents which shall become a part of that history. As a part of Abington's traditions, each student is rostered in that course which he and his par- ents feel best fits his needs. A student from each of the four courses - the Business Education, the General, the Vocational, and the College Preparatory - has expressed his feelings in his selection. Students in the Business Education course aside from the mechanical dexterity are taught other invaluable skills such as bookkeeping which will help them secure an even better position in the business world. Amid a whirl of brief forms and rapid dictation, the future secretaries learn by hard work one of the most difficult of the clerical skills. Typewriters, adding machines, calculating ma- chines, mimeoscope, and voice writers have their place. Class officers of '51 are Secretary .Ioan Norman, Treasurer Roland Young, jr. Students in the General Course have the best onortunit for a liberal education. l l Y They have an opportunity to elect from a wide field. Perhaps their choice is band or A Cappella for their own pleasure as well as for the enjoyment of others. Or their choice may he Home Arts or Fine Arts, both of which provide creative outlets for those artistically inclined. Also one may enroll in this course and have sufficient credits to enter the college of his choice. Upon graduation, the boy who has selected the Vocational Course, faces a series of steps, or if you will, a ladder of success. Anyone of these steps is complete in itself, the first could be direct en- trance into a variety of occupations. Further technical schooling may be the next stage which will result in a career in mechanical engineering or one of the related fields. ln any event the Vocational Course has provided the high school boy with a background of knowl- edge and experience. The College Preparatory Course represents the sum of many experiences - the classes we attend, old friendships and the opportunity to make new acquaintances, and finally co-curricular activities - sports, dramatic productions, and after-hours social events. It means developing an interest in democratic living by learning cooperation. Abing- ton represents an aid and a step to a brighter and better future.
