W. Bass, the first principal of Philadelphia Academy guided the school through its formative years while located on Germantown Avenue During his administration from 1939- 1943, nineteen students graduated from the Academy. Elder Bass is now Educational Secretary for the Potomac Conference. The photograph is a recent picture of the Bass family.

Deep within the heart of each student at the old school, was the dream of a school of his own. Day after day in Bible classes the prayers of supplication would ascend to God from the hearts of these young people that he might open the way to make this dream a reality. Then early in the spring of 1945 events began to occur that had a great influence on the future of Philadelphia Academy. The building they were renting was sold and the school term closed in June of that year with no home for the following year. But in the hearts of the students was the earnest conviction that his was the answer to their prayers over the years and now God was gently forcing them to make the move that in His providence He had planned all along but no one had courage to accept---a school plant of their own. Shortly after graduation the principal, Mrs. C. C. Ellis, and the chairman of the board, Elder C. L. Blandford, received one of those very uninteresting looking letters, where the first impulse is to slip it quietly into the waste basket without taking the trouble to open it. But they did open it and it was found to be the notice of a school property, which was for sale and had been on the market for two years. There never has been the slighest clue as to the identific- ation of the one who placed those letters in the mail at that time. The members of the board were immediately summoned and a group of them decided to go over to see the property at 6063 Drexel Road after the board meeting. They passed the property several times because all they could see was a tremendous over growth of hedge fronting a plot of wild weeds that were almost taller than they. In the darkness of the night they finally saw the buildings so completely forlong and empty as to be frightening. But in their hearts they saw this pile of stone and mortar begin to live and throb with the pulse of Christian young people. They heard the halls echo with the songs they would sing, they felt the inspiration they would feel here, they saw the workers for God who would go forth from these doors to hasten the soon coming of Christg and in the darkness of that night, choked by the over grown weeds, Philadelphia Academy was reborn. Then the work began. Men of the churches got out their scythes to attack the weedsg saws and hatchets began to hack away at the over grown hedgeg and women with brooms and scrub- brushes went to work on the grime and dirt that had settled in the building for more than two years. Eager students knocked out walls to make more class room space and carried away alto- gether one hundred and twenty baskets of plaster. Teachers skilled with hammer and saw began to contruct needed cabinets until our whole sciencelab was the handiwork of I. Byron Logan and Elder Ellis. But in spite of such help and enthusiasm the day for the beginning of school came in Septem- ber without a desk in a class room, a table in the dining room, or a chair in the chapel. But news of our distress soon reached the ears of many friends and by the time the students arrived for class fifty class room desks has been received as a gift from one of the church members, dining room chairs and tables began to move out of peoples attics and the East Pennsylvania Conference supplied camp meeting chairs for the chapel. From that day to the present the story is tinged with blood, sweat, and tears, but as we look today upon the macadam play- ground that replaces the weeds, the lovely but simple decorations in our chapel, and the mar- velous additions we have made to class room equipment we take just pride in the phenomenal growth of Philadelphia Academy. Our real pride is not in our physical plant, but in the boys and girls who have walked these halls to go forth into fields of service for God and we bow our heads in all humility to say, What hath God wrought.

Remember you will never reach a higher standard than you yourself set. Then set your mark high. And step by step ascend the whole length of the ladder of progress. Let nothing hinder you. The doors of opportunity swing wide for you to enter. In this marvelous age the horizons of possibilities reveal vast and almost limitless avenues of service to God and man. And remember---YOU are the arbiter of your own destiny! Your happiness for this life, and for the future, immortal life lies with yourself. . .You may every one of you make your mark. You should be content with no mean attainments. Balanced by religious principle, you mayclimb to any height you please.QSee messages to young peoplej Then ponder well the path of your feetg remembering that successis not necessarily given to the brilliantnor the swift nor the strong. But rather success crowns those who using what talents they have, make the most of their time and opportunities. Then be ambitious for the Master's glory! Deal truly with your own souls. Be true to your- self and to God. In whatever business you may be engaged bring Jesus into it. Be willingto begin at the lowest round of the ladder and determine to climb round after round until you find yourself at last at the top---a conqueror! Those who climb the shining way will be rewardedg they will enter the joy of the Lord. That this may be your experience is our wish and prayer, not only for you the Seniors, but for every student who has ever been a part of Philadelphia Academy. 5 MRS FLOYD HILLIARD MR RAYMOND MONTGOMERY MISS ANITA DIBIASE Student Placement Fifth-Eighth Grades First-Fourth Grades Secretary to Principal .4 -feggfglzfw I, My Y + ,iq-Qi' ' .

She is small in size: but not small in character or disposition, for she is de- pendable and always gets her work done. We are sure her interest in interior decorating and cooking will help her be a good housewife. Hometown: Macungie, Pennsylvania Ambition: Mathematics teacher Lee has a very interesting hobby, tropical fish, which takes up a good deal of his time .... and Daneen takes up the rest.

Her excellent capacity for leadership was shown when she was President of the Girls' Club. With her happy disposition, Marian will be a success in anything she does. Her favorite pastime is em- broidering, but we know she would much rather read those letters from W.M.C. :Ti 1 Hometown: Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania Ambition: Secretary This was Carolyn's first and last year here at P. A. She seems to be a great lover of the out -of-doors especially since her favorite pastime is horse back riding. Always cheerful and happy, she faces the world with her characteristic smile. Since she is always friendly and good natured we know she'll make a great success as she becomes a secretary. fi.-f '-RG : fs X ,Nu-adf' if was f MARIE MONTGOMERY Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Ambition: Medical Secretary A good suggestion for a practically impossible job would be to find a more enthusiastic, more fun-loving, better dis- positioned young lady than Marie. She must enjoy writing letters because her hoppy is collecting various types of sta- tionery and her favorite pastime seems to be receiving them. jf ,,,,7 I JANET PRICE Hometown: Media, Pennsylvania Ambition: Medical Secretary This blond haired, blue eyed, mischievous Senior lass likes to pull pranks and have her fun, but she can also be serious-minded and friendly to all. We are glad Janet has been able to spend all four of her academy years here at P. A and also some of her church school days. Even though 1anet's ambition is to be a medical secretary, we know her secret one is to be a housewife. Good luck! MARGOT BALDWIN 94 Hometown: Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 5 Ambition: Teacher f Wherever there's fun, that's where you'l1 find Margot for she is always right in the midst of it!

I I l ADELL LEWIS Hometown: Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania Ambition: Nurse For four whole years Adell has attended P. A. and for four long years she has worked and waited for that day when she would receive that graduation diploma and now her dream has come true! Physics, her pet peeve, gave her a bit of trouble, though. She's really sharp at thinking of those witty spur-of-the-moment answers. sis. 1 ll, -ti if CONRAD BILDSTEIN Hometown: Pottstown, Pennsylvania Ambition: Doctor A happy-go-lucky Senior who likes to have a good time: we think this a perfect description of Conrad. He didn't say what his hobby is, but one would imagine that it was some- thing like teasing the girls, especially the nurses. Since Connie has worked at Lankenau we know he will make a good doctor. N l DOROTHY SMIT H Hometown: Blossburg, Pennsylvania Ambition: Secretary When we hear a merry laugh we know where it comes from: Dotty, of course. And when we hear a stray trombone in the girls' dorm it's usually in her room. We are glad she is spending her Senior year at P. A. Her experience in the business office is a good start toward being a secretary. MARIE MAYER Hometown: Admore, Pemisylvania Ambition: Teacher of Speech Marie has taken the motto, If you want to have friends - Be one, to heart: this is most noticeable by the warm friend- ly glow in those sparkling brown eyes. This talented Senior has taken an active part in our Temperance contests and walked off with some prizes too. This, of course, will be an asset to her chosen ambition. BEATRICE DIETZ Hometown: Danville, Pennsylvania Ambition: Nurse Bea is a hard working Senior who puts her whole heart if into a thing until she finishes it. This must be the reason why she is liked by her classmates. She likes music and has a very fine voice. With her interest in out-door sports she will be physically fit to be a good nurse. Have fun at Fletcher next year! ev, XX ' p 'A f-fr V'T!'H YK' PEGGY ARENTZ Hometown: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Ambition: Missionary Nurse A hard working loyal Christian, that's Peggy.

MARILYN KRENRICH Hometown: Middletown, New York Ambition: Author Quiet, easy going Marilyn goes her way and does her work without complaints. She takes things as they come remaining a loyal member of the Senior class. She comes to us from up North and has been with us for only a year but in that short time she has become as well liked as our old timers. She has set her goal in life and we know she ll have no trouble reaching it. PEGGY MONTGOMERY Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Ambition: Medicine Although Peggy came to P. A. three years ago as a Freshman we are glad she joined our Senior class. Peggy is a typical southerner through and through. With her helpful ways and sweet disposition we know she will make a wonder- ful success in her ambition of medicine. Next year you may find her and Bea roommates at Fletcher, North Carolina. ELEAN OR BREW ER Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Ambition: Psychyotrist Although this is her first year here she has entered into activities and has really become a part of P A When social meetings come along she s always ready to participate and join in the fun Because she s capable and willing to do her part to help others we know she will make a success of being a Psychiatrist rl. , l s i l DA LE HIG H Hometown: Reading, Pennsylvania Ambition: Business After a year of absence, Dale must have finally realized there was no place like P. A., for he's back with us for his Senior year. If you should meet him some day and his in- terested in round figures, don't be surprised for he's planning on business. :fi ww f'!, i JUNE MEYERS Hometown: Elizabeth, Pennyslvania Ambition: Business June with her jovial disposition has slipped right through in three years. She liked bookkeeping in the academy and will continue to study business. She says her pet peeve is unnecessary talking but Mr. Walker says his pet peeve is June's unnecessary talking. MARIE BRENCHLEY Hometown: Meshoppen, Pennsylvania Ambition: Missionary Nurse A girl who is quiet, but a hard worker and a dependable one: that's the kind of a girl you will find Marie to be. Al- though she is quiet she is willing to work and assist others if they need help. This is why we know she will make such a wonderful success of her ambition: to be a missionary nurse. F 4 CHARLOTTE SMITH Hometown: Middletown, New York Ambition: Nurse The longer one knows one, the more one loves one, doesn't one? In the two years spent here, Charlotte has gain- ed a special spot in our hearts. She has a special interest in youth and we are sure this will keep her young at heart. She has made studying her favorite pastime and she has made success her aim. me-5-A WK X, -was i DIETER KUHN Hometown: Somerdale, New Jersey Ambition: Electronics Engineer We are glad when Dieter came to America from Germany he chose P. A. to finish his schooling. Although he is the youngest member of our class, he has rated top honors in his two years here. Since his hobby is reading, he will be doing a lot of it in his study to be an engineer. ALVA IDE Hometown: Birdsboro, Pennsylvania Ambition: Dietitian Alva is quite a girl, I hear you say, when you first meet her. Wait till you get to know her and you'll love her as we all do. We are glad that she has helped in our orchestra by playing her accordion. We are sure that with work in the dining room at Lankenau she will have laid an excellent foundation for her lifework. ,Q ...pm .

As the doors of this training center open in the fall of 1955 it will be with the best wishes of every former student, alumni, and faculty member of Philadelphia Academy. May the leaders of Blue Mountain Academy carry high the torch of Christian Education as it is passed on to them from the Philadelphia Academy Family. The choice of Elder T. H. Iemison to head the new school at Blue Mountain gives support to the feeling that this indeed will be a school where young people will be train ed for God. Elder Jemison has had a rich background in the educational field and his last work in connection with the Ellen G. White publi- cations has especially fitted him for organ- izing the new school.
