However, these past years at Caernarvon High School are never to be forgotten by any of us. To keep these memories with us always we have made a permanent record of them by publishing The Blue and Gold. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed assembling it. If we have ac- complished this, then our time and work have not been spent in vain. DEDICATION K' MR. JOHN W. POLISCHAK We, the Class of 1948, wish to dedicate our yearbook, The Blue and Gold , to you, Mr. Polischak, in appreciation for your hard work and untiring efforts in promoting better sports and helping to re- vive and build up the school spirit of C.H.S. Not only have you led us onward in athletics but you have also encouraged us to do better in schol- arship and all school activities. We know that your advice and words of encouragement will lead us to do better things in the years which lie ahead. For all these things we are most grateful. three four Caernarvon Township High School X- xt ' X- N 'f : x A LX K X . X Twenty years ago the present Caernarvon 'Township High School was com- pleted and the first class was graduated from it. The building, containing five rooms and constructed of red bricks, stands on a lot containing 2 acres and 153 perches. East and south of the school building is an area for play grounds which is used for softball, some baseball, volley ball, soccer,'and other sports. Busses transport the students each day who come from Caernarvon Town- ship in Lancaster County, Elverson in Chester County, and Robeson and Caer- narvon Townships in Berks County. Enrollments have varied throughout the years and reached a minimum a year or two ago. At present only the general course is offered to students. Caernarvon has had her periods of progress along with those times of little activity. Once more, however, she is making herself known and is reach- ing forward to attain a greater degree of recognition.

I hope that our relationships have been both pleasant and profitable, and that during your school life you have gained some experience that will assist you in being a useful citizen in our democracy. Our democracy today is based upon an intelligent citizen, one who is able to understand the many functions of our government. Today, in our modern world with its many complex problems, we are called upon to decide many questions which concern not only ourselves but oth- ers as well. The more intelligent information we possess, the better we are able to take our part in deciding our future, the future of our democracy, and the fu- ture of the world.

I The step that we are about to take will mark an important milestone in our lives. After graduation, some of us will continue our education by attending colleges or schools of business, while others will go to work in many different fields. Regardless of what we may do after our high school years are past, we must strive to make it a success. With this goal in mind, we are ready to take our places in the world of today and of tomorrow. May I extend to you my very best wishes for a success- ful future. Sincerely, Corneli a Schubel RE BECCA M. BURKHART H Becky!! R.D. 1, Birdsboro, Pa.

The Ship of Caernarvon High School with its crew of twenty-six is now setting sail for Senior Island. Our first stop was Freshman Island. Under the guidance of our captain, Miss Mason, we soon became accustomed to our new duties and shipmates. The crew had several cap- tains during the beginning of the voyage. Just before leaving this port we had nineteen re- maining with the crew. Part of the time was spent in electing officers. They were: President, Truman Iiertzlerg Vice President, Jeanne Byler, Secretary, Thelma Moore, and Treasurer, David Kurtz. It was during this trip that we proved ourselves to be the best salesmen on the ship of C.H.S. by selling the most War Bonds. The next landing, Sophomore Island, found us with a crew of twelve and Rev. Bradley as captain. We elected officers as follows: President, Jack McEwen, Vice President, Clar- ence Seifrit, Secretary, Catherine Trateg and Treasurer, Jeanne Byler. We tried to earn some money on this trip by selling chocolate milk, and for the en- joyment of all the other passengers we sponsored a roller skating party. When we landed at Jtmior Island we had a crew of nine with Mrs. Groff as captain. A- bout the middle of the voyage, however, we picked up another crew member to make a total of ten. Our class officers remained the same except that Robert Johnson was elected vice president. This was perhaps our most exciting trip. On this part of the voyage we sold potato chips, Christmas cards, and everyday cards to raise funds. We also purchased our class rings, a big event for us. We chose melon and white as our class colors, and the white rose as our class flower. Aim high and hold your aim became the motto toward which we were to strive. Again we showed our super salesmanship by selling the most magazines on the ship during the magazine campaign. The two mo st important events took place near the end of the trip. We presented our junior class play, Salad Days , under the direction of Mrs. Groff. We also entertained the seniors at the Junior Prom with music furnished by Frank Peck and his orchestra. We finally reached Senior Island without losing any more members of the crew, how- ever, we had Mr. Eberts for captain. twenty-three Our first great event was our senior play, K'Miss Jimmy , directed by Mrs. Groff. This part of our voyage seemed to pass quickly. We tried to do as much as possible in this short time. Most of the crew participated in sports and other activities, such as bas- ketball, baseball, track, chorus, and school newspaper work. We sold candy throughout the last part of our voyage. We organized our yearbook staff so that we could have a permanent record of our good old school days , The planning for our senior class trip took much of our time, we finally decided to go to New York. Now as our small crew plans to leave the Ship C.H.S. we hope that the coming years will prove to be as happy and successful as the past four. twenty -four I .I 'fp' V an A1 I I l 'QCD 9Ol,4!' 1 ' .'

President Vice President . . Secretary . . . Treasurer .IUNIORS In the fall of 1945 the Class of'49 started out on their journey with a crew of twenty- five and Mrs. Acker as Captain. The commanding officers chosen were: President, Claude Seifritg Vice President,Clyde Smithg Secretary,NancyArtersg and Treasurer, Betty Magyar. Fourteen of the original crew returned the next fall to begin the second lap with Rev. Bradley as their captain. This time their officers were: President, Betty Magyar, Vice President, Clarence Seifritg Secretary, Nancy Artersg and Treasurer, lean Buchanan. As Sophomores this group made themselves known with the sale of chocolate milk every day at noon in both the high and elementary schools. The main social activity of the year was a rol- ler skating party at Ringing Rocks Skating Park. This year with half of their course completed eight of their brave sailors stepped into the rank of Junior Grade with Mrs. Groff in command. The selling of potato chips and pretzels kept the group quite busy at noon and after school. Early in the fall they began tak- ing orders for the greeting cards they sold at Christmas time. Their salesmen showed their splendid ability when they sold the highest percentage of magazines in the school campaign. The Old Home Town , a comedy, was given by the entire class on April 2 and was proclaimed a success. The Prom, probably the most gala social event of the year, was held April 30. The Juniors broke a precedent of former years by inviting Alumni members to this semi-formal dance. Music for the colorful affair was furnished by the Serenaders from Downingtown. With three-fourths of their trip completed the Juniors are now ready to step forward to claim the rank of Senior Grade in Caernarvon High School. Q2 s v , X XX I F.

Their enrollment as Freshmen was twenty-three at the end ofthe yearg as Sophomores they end their year with eighteen members. With Rev. Bradley for their adviser the class has shown remarkable ability in sales- manship. Selling chocolate milk each day at noon in both the high and elementary schools has proved very profitable. One of the important events of the year for the class was the sponsoring of a roller skating party at the Ringing Rocks Skating Park near Pottstown. The Sophomores have made a name for their class by having so many members par- ticipating in athletics. Rosabel Witwer, Irma Shirk, and Ernie Abbott were regular players on the Girls' Basketball Team, while Howard Muhlenberg and Walter Cook played on the Boys' Varsity Team. In the field of baseball Howard Muhlenberg, Walter Cook, and Elmer Glass were three of Coach Polischak's regular line-up. Howard Muhlenberg and Walter Cook were also on the C.H.S. Track squad. With this enthusiasm the Class of '50 looks forward to the future days at Caernarvon when they can do their part in gaining laurels and recognition for their school. This earnest- ness of spirit shows not only in the field of athletics, but also in other extra-curricular ac- tivities and scholarship. There is little doubt but that their ship will sail on to greater ad- ventures in the ensuing two years. Q1 .X fix K f iv!

Among those who played basketball were: james Carrigan, Robert DeLong, Walter Filmore, Frank Fries,Wilbur Hixson, and Eugene Styer. The girls who played basketball were Alyce Filmore and Julianne March. Baseball has also called the Freshmen to participate.

The Blue and Gold staff was organized by the members of the senior class with the help of Mrs. Groff and Mr. Eberts. Early in the school year the class elected Jeanne Byler as editor and Jane Kruppen- bach as business manager. Because the class was so small, it was decided that the entire group should serve on the staff. Even though the editorial work was done by a selected group, there were many other things to be done. Pictures had to be collectedg ads had to be solicitedg patrons had to be seeng and the yearbooks themselves had to be sold. With all these du- ties to be done each senior set out to do his part in publishing the school annual. The staff has worked earnestly in trying to make this year's publications one of the best. They feel that the experiences of working together for a common goal has been a worthwhile part of their educa- tion at Caernarvon. thirty four THE WELSHMAN Mrs. Dorothy Groff, Dorothy Oatman, Ernie Abbott, Cornelia Schubel, Wilbur Hixson, Donald Wells, Rosabel Witwer, Ruthmary Wag- ner, Ethel Hart.

The Welshman , Caernarvon's monthly paper, tries to record all the news of both the elementary and the high school. The paper in- cludes humor columns, of which Dear Diary is the favorite, as well as editorials on school issues and current national problems. ' With the exception of typing, which is done by the faculty ad- viser, the paper is entirely the work of The We1shman staff. The members of the staff do the writing, art work, mimeographing, and as- sembling of the paper.

It consists of students from all four grades who are interested in leathercraft. The members, under the direction of Rev. William Bradley, have made many useful articles, such as belts, purses, wallets, comb cases, and pencil cases. Rev. Bradley, whose hobby is leathercraft work, has taught the students many interesting facts about leather. The club has been handicapped by the lack of tools, but gradu- ally they are gathering equipment for what promises to be one of Caer- narvm's most interesting and useful extra-curricular activities.

They have learned the various methods of preserving and mounting animals. Besides taxidermy the boys have tried to keep the group in- formed about current science happenings from magazines and news- papers. Such activity has made the Science Club an educational and in- teresting extra-curricular organization. Officers elected by the club include: President, Claude Seifritg Vice Presidents, Robert Haas and Donald Schubelg Secretary, Mervin Weilerg and Treasurer, Frank Fries. thirty seven MOVIE CLUB Betty Byler, Robert johnson, Jack McEwen, Roland johnson, Veronica Carrigan, Mr. Robert Zwally.

They have also furnished music for such other affairs as the Morgantown Fire Company banquet,Campbell Soup Com- pany's banquet, the Tri-County Dairymen's Association banquet, and the Elverson Hobby Show. Regular practices are held twice each week in the fire hall. Although most of the instruments are owned by the students themselves, a few are the property of the school and are loaned to students showing the best ability for playing them.

The String Group is a new musical organization formed this year by Mr. Robert Zwally,Caernarvon music teacher. It consists of string instruments only, such as Hawaiian guitars, Spanish guitars, mandollns, and banjos. Mr. Zwally gives private lessons to these students from both the elementary and high schools. Because so few of them have played these instruments before the group has not ad- vanced to the point where they have made a public appearance, however, another year will probably bring this degree of perfection.

This year the students were led in cheers and songs at basket- ball games by Ernie Abbott, Jeanne Byler, Jacqueline Lange, and Rosa- bel Witwer. These girls were chosen by the Girls' Athletic Association after numerous try outs. Three of the girls - Jeanne Byler, Ernie Abbott, and Rosabel Witwer - played on the girls' basketball team. During the girls' game Jacqueline Lange led the students in cheers. The highlight this year was the purchasing of sweaters for the cheerleaders by the Girls' Athletic Associations. Mrs. Groff, girls' coach, had charge of the group. Pep meetings were held prior to most of the games. During these rallies the cheerleaders taught many new cheers besides arousing enthusiasm for that night's court frays. forty-three forty-four BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Claude Seifrit, Howard Muhlenberg, Mr. john Polischak, Robert johnson, Harvey Eshelman. The Boys' Athletic Association was reorganized early in the school year under the direction of Mr. john Polischak. They aim to keep their athletic teams equipped with all that is needed in each sport. Besides getting money from the payment of dues and from the proceeds of the basketball games, this year the association sponsored a paper drive and made their collections at the end of each month. In April the boys held a Record Dance to help cover the expenses of the baseball season. Boys interested in athletics must become a member. They seek to keep good sportsmanship and team cooperation foremost in the minds of C.H.S. athletes. Officers President .......... Claude Seifrit Vice President ..... Harvey Eshelman Secretary .... . . Howard Muhlenberg Treasurer . . . . . . Robert johnson GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Catherine Trate,Iane Kruppenbach,Mrs. Dorothy Groff, Jean Buchanan, Nancy Arters. The Girls' Athletic Association was one of the first groups to be reorganized at the beginning of the school year. Its purpose is to pro- mote cooperation and good fellowship among its members. All girls in- terested in athletics must join. Although no regular period is set aside for meetings, they are held whenever some issue requires action of the group. By paying dues and selling refreshments at basketball games the Girls' Athletic Association earned enough money to pay for new suits for the basketball team and sweaters for the cheerleaders. Some money was also spent for softball equipment. The organization has Mrs. Groff as adviser. The girls take great pride in the display of good sportsmanship shown by each and ev- ery one in the association. Officers President ........ Catherine Trate Vice President ....

When work andworry can be placed aside, pleasure is a welcome guest. This is exactly what the Seniors did in the late fall when they produced their class play, Miss Jimmy . This three-act comedy was presented for the public's entertainment on December 12, 1947, under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Groff. Plays are usually given by each class during their junior and senior years at Caernarvon. The major purpose of dramatlcs in a school is to give the students ample opportunity for the development of self-expression, self-confidence, and character interpretation. Small classes must work hard to accomplish all the details required for a productiong however,the experience gained is an important part of their education. Miss Jimmy dealt with the adventures of a college youth who entered a girls' dormitory in search of a dress as part of his initiation by his fraternity brothers. The cast included: Harriet .... Louise . . . Florence . . . Droopy . . . . Catherine. . . Jimmy ..... Miss Watkins Doris ..... Prof. Frazier Rebecca Burkhart . . . Jeanne Byler Cornelia Schubel .

As these nine players are material for the future varsity bas- ketball team of Caernarvon, they have tried very hard to make a good reputation on the court. In spite of their efforts they had no victories to their credit at the end of the season, but they had showed much im- provement. Most of the boys had played little or no basketball before this year. The team was not a member of any league, but they played oth- er junior varsity teams. The team was under the direction of Coach john Polischak. Team Record Opponents C. H. S.

At the beginning of the nineteen forty-seven season the pros- pects of a successful court year seemed rather dull. The fact that there were only four boys in each of the two upper classes meant that only a few of the players had experience. Coach Polischak's big job was the building of a team from sev- eral seasmed players and a few new recruits. As in past years, the Caernarvon High quintet joined the Bi- County League which included Honey Brook, Warwick, Terre Hill, Coch- ranville, and Caernarvon High Schools. Two boys from the senior class played on the varsity team. Harvey Eshelman played center for two years and was chosen captain during his last year. Roland Johnson was a newcomer to the team and played forward. Team Record Opponents C. H. S. Opponents Ontelaunee . Sinking Spring .... Amity .... Warwick . . Amity .... Terre Hill . Pennside . .

Basketball is the one sport to which Caernarvon girls eagerly look forward each year. Last fall more than twenty girls responded to the call for recruits and practiced Monday evening of each week. By the time the first game was to be played Coach Groff had ten girls picked to represent C.H.S. The Blue and Gold sextette joined the Tri-County League which included Honey Brook, Warwick, Terre Hill, Cochranville, and Caernar- von. In the finish the Caernarvon lassies were in third place. Three senior girls played on the team. Ieanne Byler served as captain and played forward position as did Catherine Trateg jane Krup- penbach played as a guard. Cornelia Schubel, another senior, was man- ager. Team Record Opponents C. H. S.

The baseball season opened earlyin the spring with most of the high school boys try- ing out for a berth on the 1948 team. Coach John Polischak had only a few veterans around whom to plan his teamg this meant that many of the rooky players would see action on the dlammd. For the first time in the history of Caernarvon High School the team became a mem- ber orf the Southern Division of the Berks County Pennsylvania .interscholastic Athletic As- sociation League. Fifteen boys, representing all the classes, have played on the team this year. They include: Harvey Eshelman, Robert Johnson, Robert Haas, Walter Fllmore, and Donald Wells - outfleldg Claude Seifrit and Frank Fries - pitcher and shortstopg Howard Muhlenberg - plt- cher and first baseg Walter Cook - catcherg Eugene Styer - first baseg Elmer Glass, Glenn Beam, and Robert DeLong - second baseg James Carrlgan - shortstopg Lynn Sagner - third base.
