Mr. Swlnehart Speaks Dutch and German Mennonites were the first group of immigrants from the continent of Europe to settle in Pennsylvania. Arriving in Philadelphia in October, 1683, they soon settled in the countryside adjacent to the city and established the community now called Germantown. Here they found the religious liberty and economic opportunity denied them for centuries in their homelands. Why are We now commonly called The Pennsylvania Dutch? The answer seems to be that most of our ancestors came from that portion of western Europe Where German, or one of its dialects, Was spoken. The English settlers, hearing the immigrants call themselves Deutsch, translated this into its cog- nate Dutch, Our origin, in the repressive atmosphere of persecution, prob- ably accounts for our love of freedom and our intense individualism. To Write even a sketch of the contributions of the Pennsylvania Dutch to our national life in music, art, literature, agriculture, and business would re- quire a volume. Without our Conrad Weiser We might have become a French colony. In the military life of the nation, the Pennsylvania Dutch have sent forth their leaders from the time of the Revolution to the present day. With pardonable pride We recall the names of Colonel Muhlenberg, General Eisen- hower, and General Spaatz, the latter an alumnus of Boyertovvn High School. I I am glad that the staff selected this theme for our yearbook in 1945. e e is Ee E E 4 2:52 S5 M if fi V922 T if . , 1 QWEEQEQ Mk 1 ?.5i:rfi:5j if . A'L mxxu we e ':: ' N x 1' ,Z 6 1 X XR X2 Q ?

S. also in February for the army. The Pennsylvania Dutch are perhaps one of the most unique groups in the history of these United States. These practical fore- fathers of ours Worked hard and persistently for their freedom, and finally achieved the common goal. Once again the Pennsyl- vania Dutch are lighting for this freedom, but now We carry proudly the glorious heritage given to us by our illustrious ances- tors. All over the world the practical, slow, easy-going Dutch- men are proving that they can buckle down! To these fighting men and women and the memory of those heroes of the past, We dedicate this book. . is 2 . E f . y I all i Ensign James C. German, now on leave of absence with U. S.

Wie Hen Mirs Gadoo Last September, a green yearbook staff, we planned a general outline of the 1945 Bear. It Was to be based on the Pennsylvania Dutch. There are many factors which influenced us to choose the Dutch theme. This theme would ma.ke possible the use of color and design, a venture altogether new for the Bear. The theme itself-that of a culture-would be entirely different from any used previously. It Would at the same time be appropriate since Boyertown is situated in the very heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch country. The book relies mainly on design as a means of carrying out the theme. The cover is stenciled with a panoramic view of the countryside near Boyer- town. The cover liners of the book are printed with the rising sun design often seen on quilts in this section. The title page is patterned after a Penn- sylvania Dutch sampler with the necessary components of the yearbook title page incorporated into the design. The three division sections of the book are decorated with typical pie plate designs. The small designs or motifs that appear on most of the pages are distelfinks, dove, hearts, tulips and hex signs, all representative of the decorations, which were employed on chests, chairs, barns, birth certificates and even tombstones. During the early development of the book we realized that it would not be complete without pictures illustrating points of historical interest which identify this region with the Pennsylvania Dutch. The pictures in this section were taken on two trips-the first in February when snow covered the ground, the second in March when classrooms became too warm for members of the Bear staff. On the first trip, four of us on the staff piled into a car with our Speed Graphic, the camera used in taking nearly all of the pictures for the yearbook. We headed north toward Oley looking for suitable camera material. fC10'l1t'Il'I'IZLUd on page nifzej S n F 7if???V Y W MMM n 'Els ole. Henna.

On the way back to school we decided to snap a shot of a typical one room schoolhouse. We wanted some action in the picture, so, with the teacher's permission we arranged the students in front of the building. This arrange- ment still was too lifeless for Chief Photographer Bashore. Quick as a flash ne had started a snow battle. The results appear on the opposite page. Bashore was unable to stop the raging battle.

This language is Pennsylvania Dutch-as the yearbook staff heard it. Although these headings at times prove even too much for the best of the Pennsylvania Dutch authorities to decipher and translate, we excuse our puzzling headings by calling to witness the fact that the Pennsylvania Dutch themselves spelled words phonetically-that is, spelling words as they sound. We have made an attempt to clarify the situa- tion for the non-reader of this mystifying language by adding, near the back of the book, an end sheet on which we translate all Pennsylvania Dutch head- ese si ns, created by the superstitious Dutch are t h ' d b lld' s to prevent Th g th ught 0 ave been palnte on u ing spirits from harming oc p t Within. ings into English. The main reason for ourusingthese headings is that they will serve welluin supporting our theme. if During 'the year we met with many hindrances, such as any staff might meet with-in the production of a yearbook. Some of these were big obstaclesg some were small,,but they all were overcome. The production of the book ran smooth- lv for the first few months. Then we foiund that the photographer who had processed our films the years before would be unable to do this year's work. After searching frantically for someone to process the photographs we found Sterling Keller, ace photographer, right here in town. l di Nine M Des Sind Die Before I begin vunce my story let me tell you who I am.

Yes, the Junior Year has arrived, the dream of a uwriggle- twister come trueg the fortunate students are now able to attend the prom! The Juniors worked hard for this event and all activities, as a class, functioned around it. First a class meeting was called, and after some confusion about nomination and renomination, the following people were chosen as class ofiicersg Robert Fryer, president 5 Jack Mayer, vice president, Glenna fofhgfilseIEOESMegiilftliigeciioilkiiii Schultz, secretary, and Jean Neiman, treasurer. from D. Herb, W. Leh and A. Garber. A Christmas dance was arranged for the raising of funds. It was a smash- ing success-so were several Christmas tree ornaments-with even Santa Claus attending. And so, on the Juniors go, seeing the goal set before them become more real. The goal is reached at last, the coveted date arrives - and goes - leaving only many pleasant memories for the hard-working class. Among the most patriotic homerooms found in B.H.S. are those occupied by the Juniors. Third and fourth place honors in the weekly war bonds and stamp sales went to the 11-A and 11-B homerooms respectively. The 11-B's were also high in the Red Cross stocking drive and the March of Dimes. These ambitious young men and women are earnest and eager to partici- pate in the future America. Among the Juniors are many interesting char- acters. There is Douglas Rose who, everyone suspects, will work his way through college by his unique delivery of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. There is Donald Brown who may become a senior if he stops testing unknown chemical solutions by drinking them -Brown never did specify the fiowers he prefers. Waldo Johnson is another character. This seem- ingly shy Junior was seen to take out three girls on the night of the prom. Johnson probably overcame his bashfulness in his Latin class, which is all-female. Junior Class Officers: J.

He must novv orient himself and secure the background for his life's Work. Sports are a favorite interest in a sophomore's life. If they are not on the football field or basketball floor sharing those dash- ing victories or honorable defeats, they are in the band, in the enthusiastic group of spectators, or cheer leaders. We are proud of the Junior Varsity cheerleaders who are all representatives of the sophomore class. They are Bette Moyer, Helen Reese, and Anna Stitzel. We find other Sophs taking opportunity of the finer arts, vocal and instrumental music and art. There are also many journalists 10-C Front: Miss Moyer, M. Lambert, A. Stitzel, J. Smith, B. Yoder, D.

They spend tedious hours discussing, arguing, gathering material, and anxiously look forward to the debates at Mount Penn, Fleetwood, and Boyertown.

To the town student it means he has shed the undignified title squirmer and received the more appropriate title of freshman To the rural student it means that he is at last eligible to that profound institute of knowledge, Boyer- town High School. During their first few weeks of school these boys may be seen roaming the halls of the second floor in search of pretty girls. Their search also reveals the future track, football and baseball stars of B.H.S. Many of the ambitious males of this class participated in football. Quite a few were members of the Junior Varsity or Future Junior Varsity basketball teams. Those who did not take an active part in the world of sports supported the teams with their large attendance and cheering at the games. Many freshman girls served the dignified but nevertheless hungry seniors by working in the cafeteria during their lunch period. Some of the delicious food served was prepared by these girls in their foods classes. Twenty-six Ninth grade is the turning point in the pupil's school career, as Well as a deciding effect in his life's Work. At the end of the year, the freshman must be able to decide Whether he will finish his education in the commercial field, agricultural field or Whether he will become a college preparatory student. This decision plays an important part in his future school Work as Well as his life's occupation. 9-D First Row, Left to Right: P. Schlegel, R. Bartholomew, E. Melcher, E. Swavely, J. Bechtel, D.

' The Bears won seventeen of their games and lost four. In league compe- tition they won nine and lost three. In the Eastern Division the Red and Black finished in second place. Fleetwood won the division championship with a record of ten victories and two defeats. As was the case last year, Fleetwood gave the Bears the most trouble. They defeated the Bears twice, both times on their home floor. In other league competition the Bears beat Oley four times and Amity three times. In non-league competition the Bears won every game except one. This loss was to North Coventry. In non-league competi- tion they played Royersford, Schwenksville, Birdsboro, North Coventry and the Hill J.V. team. Forty-two Girls' Varsity Basketball Team: Left to right, J. Shell, J.

'a Grosse Zeit M ll The highlight of the physical education program is the annual Gym Exhi- bition held in the B. H. S. Gymnasium. Here We see the more athletic boys and girls Working out on the mats, ropes, parallel bars and the spring board. If We look behind the scene some afternoon We might see the beautiful blisters acquired by the rope climbers, along with the sprained wrists and bruised arms and legs received on spring board and parallel bars. The girls also give their time in adding a little novelty to the exhibition with folk dances, vvaltzes and adagio dances. Year after year the gym is filled to capacity giving ample Epof that these exhibitions are a great success.

The staff has worked tediously to produce their monthly Cub, and with amazing skill overcame handicaps. An added feature to this year's paper was a student opinion poll sponsored by Scholastic Magazine. Student reporters questioned students selected at random and results were published in the following issue. Due to the great interest shown by servicemen, many copies of the Cub', were mailed to them by staff members. Letters from these grateful boys tum- bled in on the staff.

It is hoped that the student Will gain a sympathetic understand- ing of other races and nations through the study of their music. Music composed by men of many countries is played by the B.H.S. Or- chestra. During the year the orchestra played in several assemblies, thor- oughly delighting the audiences and bringing to the forefront the real beauty of music. The band enlivens the scene on the athletic field or in the assembly with its colorful uniforms and snappy formations. In its annual band concert, the band delighted the students by playing variations of The Three Blind Mice .

Do Sind De Singer For those students who like choral singing the chorus groups, under the supervision of Miss Reinert, are the most satisfying organizations to attend. The members of the Senior and Junior choruses thoroughly enjoy presenting programs in assembly and community churches. Two new organizations this year are the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs. These groups have been giving commendable performances. In music classes, students in vocal music develop an ability to sight read three and four-part music With proper attitude toward tone, balance and phrasing. Miss Reinert also gives vocal lessons to students who are interested in sing- ing and are talented in that field. Fifty-four Miss Reinert, music teacher ex plains tone to her class.

Some of their accomplishments Were: the sponsoring of an ushers' league and student council 5 the starting of the big sisterl' movement for the benefit of new studentsg the revising of the 1944-45 Handbook, and the sponsoring of the play Bird On The Wingf' This play, under the sponsorship of Miss Violet White and Mr. Daniel Rohrbach, Was presented at the Kutztovvn State Teachers College Drama Festival.

Rose A feeling of warmth and grati- tude toward their southern neigh- bors was the attitude carried throughout the year by the mem- bers of the Spanish Club. The students manifested their interest in their carefree, but romantic neigh- bors by corresponding with them and by reading much about their ways of living and personal habits. Climaxing the year was a trip to a Latin American Exposition in Phil- adelphia, where the student's in- terest in viewing and examining the relics was indicative of their love and understandng of their Latin American friends.

The clubs consist of four separate groups-the Junior Tri-Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y, Junior Hi-Y, and Hi-Y. These groups did many varied things last year. Lap robes, carnival hats, tray favors, and afghans were made by the girls of the Junior Tri-Hi-Y and the Tri-Hi-Y. These girls decided to assist the Junior Red Cross as their main project for the year. In January the Tri-Hi-Y presented to the school a portrait of Lieutenant General Carl A. Spaatz. George B. Swinehart highly praised the girls for their perseverance in completing the task, which was begun in October, 1943. The big event of the year for the Junior Hi-Y was the train race. Those dynamos of ambition al- ways have two or three things going on at the same time. As their main project for the year the Hi-Y boys began rack- ing their brains to think of some ways to raise money in order to buy a mat for the ramp leading to the girls' dressing room. The highlight of the year Was the Sixth Annual Family Night service, held in St. John's Lutheran Church. The guest speaker was Dr. Raymond W. Al- bright of Albright College, Reading. The Y Clubs stand for tolerance, good sportsmanship, and building per- sonality. Through the development of body, mind, and spirit, they are striving to meet their great objective-the de- velopment of Christian character. Carl Wolfgang and Richard Hollowbush watch chickens in the brooder house. DIE BAUERA The B.H.S. students enrolled in the Future Farmers Chapter are thirty- seven hustlers who are never satisfied to stick to a set routine. They are all boys planning to enter some branch of agriculture. Probably the best Way to see how the F.F.A. goals have been carried out is to take a glimpse at the records. The F.F.A. raised twenty-three acres of corn, which yielded twenty-eight tons. Six tons were retained for feed for the 2200 chickens they raised this year. The popcorn crop was almost a complete failure but, not to be daunted, they will try again this year. During the last year they added a storm porch, rear porch, complete laboratory, coal bin, tile classroom floor, filing cabinet and tool rack to the Agricultural Building. A very generous resident presented to the chapter a purebred Doberman pincher, which Will be foundation stock for a dog breeding program. This 9 ll group also conducted a farm ma- chinery care and repairs course, and succeeded in making four farm trailor Wagons and completely overhauling a corn shelter and burr grinder. One of the Future Farmers burns a heap of brush. These are just a few things the F.F.A. students did. These boys realize that farming is a very im- portant factor to our war effort. This small group cannot do much, but with thousands like them their Worth Will be felt in the near future. W. Mercer, D. Schmoyer, R. Fretz, R, Fryer, D, Moatz, V. Wentzel picking chickens.

Members of this club worked on individual projects throughout the year. Fin- ger-painting and the painting of glassware were two of the most interesting activities. The former was introduced in the fall of the year, and immediately became the favorite work of the students. Most of the students' work was displayed in the annual art, shop and clothing exhibition. Marionette Club The art of manipulating pup- pets in a mock drama is the pastime of the members of the Marionette Club. This club is sponsored by Miss Eva Brunner for the benefit of those interested in making marion- ettes, puppets, stage properties, scenery, and giving plays during the year. The club consists of sev- enth grade pupils who meet weekly. Some of these puppets were made by these students while they were in the grade schools. A highlight of the year was the assembly pro- gram, during which the club pre- sented two marionette shows en- titled Amusing the King and The Singing Lesson. the Dance Rhythmical movements, grace- fulness, and agility are qualities Which the Dance Club members strive to attain. Each club period is begun with exercises for limber- ness. These are followed by les- sons on either folk dances, such as the Scottish dance and the polka, or the modern vogue of jitterbug- ging and ballroom dancing. Acro- batic dancing, ballet and the grace- ful Waltz are also taught. During one of the club periods the Dance Club invited the Hi-Y to a dance. The Jazz Band furnished the music. the Drama Lighting, scenery, and make- up were some of the topics dis- cussed by the drama students, under the supervision of Mrs. Arline Fryer. They studied the origin of the early drama, memorized poems and reported on plays which they read. The members, combined with 9-2 students, presented their annual production for Easter en- titled B1essed Are They. As a tribute to the school, the drama students raised money to buy a standard make-up kit which will be used for all performances in high school. They raised the suffi- cient amount by having a dance and featuring a stage show as an added attraction. Dance Club goes through one of its routines. Seated: M. Haddad, D. Thomas, E.

Ein Mal De Wuch As a part of the school's extra-curricular activities, the assembly played an important role. The essence of the assembly can only be discerned when one sees how the students look forward to seeing a well-performed narrative or hearing a soul-stirring musical program. The enjoyment found during the assembly was a sedative for headaches acquired from textbooks, homework, and thoughts of a quiz. A few shouts, a little swooning, and a state of general hysteria left one feeling reinvigorated for the tasks about to face him.

Students Accept Challenge Seventy The high school students of today are again called upon to take their rightful places of citizenship in this shaken world. We, the advertisers, believe that this should be the aim of achievement for every boy and girl. Therefore, we endeavor to cooperate with them in their efforts for the achievement of this goal. And so as we keep the wheels of industry ever- turning, we as citizens of this abundant land must con- tinue to pray fervently for that long-awaited day when peace will again reign over us. As the class of 1945 leaves the doors of B. H. S. to take their places in this world of tomorrow, they must always remember their motto: Seize the Opportunity. ea, rezez- ' of Business and lndustry AMITY MANUFACTURING CO., IHC, Union-Made Work Clothes BOYERTOWN AUTO BODY WORKS, Inc.
