THEME i The theme of Allentown High School’s first year book is petro- leum and its production. We thought the theme appropriate as Allentown is located in the oil country, and about everything we do or say concerns oil or its production. Everywhere we look we see wells pumping, men drilling and working on the leases. The air is filled with the sound of pounding engines, the steadily rising and falling whine of drilling motors, the squeaking of surface-rods, and the rhythmical ringing of blows of men sharpening tools. Without these sights and sounds we would be lost. Is it any wonder then, that we should select as the theme of this book a subject so near to our hearts, and to which we owe our very sustenance? The linoleum block prints on the division pages are an attempt to link the various stages of the Industry with Education and its divisions. We don’t claim for these prints an exact reproduction of the fields which they represent, nor yet an exact correlation with the Educational world Rather, we wish to give you a hint, an inspiration, contentment perhaps, in the place in which you live, and in which each one of you plays an especial part. To Eldyn Simons, the “Derrick” staff is indeed indebted for his splendid work in designing and cutting the linoleum blocks for the Annual, and to him we here extend our sincerest gratitude. We’ve reaped OUR harvest of satisfaction and happiness in publishing this year book. That YOU may now enjoy this same book to its utmost is our final wish ! 1 936 AH S ] 9 3 6
