CAERNARVON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHO X, situ., A :QB Y A ., ,-,.. ...rv The Caernarvon Township High School building was erected in 1927. The red brick building, located at the east end of Morgantown, contains five rooms. Wast and south of the building is a playground area which is used for practice for all sports. Until the present year the academic course was the only one offered. With the growing demand for other fields of education, the commercial course was added to the curriculum. Athletics, music and numer- ous other extra-curricular activities supplement the scholastic work of the students. Enrollments have varied in number throughout the years, and Caernarvon has had her times of pro- gress as well as little activity.Now, more than ever, she is making herself known and is reaching a higher degree of recognition among small high schools.

The Health Department is one of the newer additions to Caernarvon Schools. Within recent years the State has required that physical examinations be given children in the odd number grades each year. Dr. Zook and mrs. Hohl have been in charge of these. Last year Mrs. Hohl was employed as a part- time school nurse. A year ago a room was made on the second floor of the elementary building to be used as an office for the school nurse. Foreword IO SEN 57 Q34 ijxifg 1 . 5 ATONKG PLANT 111111 11W1' E Emir?

CLASS HISTORY In the fall creased by twenty-two by Mr. John Polischak way to meet the other was performed when we of l9l+6 the enrollment of C.H.S. was in- scared and nervous freshmen. We were welcomed who gave us our schedule and sent us on our teachers. The first of our high school duties elected our class leaders. Howard Mhhlenberg was chosen to be president and Irma Shirk was elected to assist him in his duties. We chose Dorothy Oatman to keep records of our acti- vities and Walter Cook to handle our money problems. The C.H.S. basketball teams had representatives from the freshman class. Irma Shirk and Ernie Abbott were on the girls' team while Howard Muhlenberg and Walter Cook were on the boys' team. The latter two were also members of the track team. The cheerleading squad had two of the girls, Ernie Abbott and Rosabel Witwer, as its members. When we returned as sophomores, we had seventeen of our original classmates. Once again we elected class officers. This time the results were: Ernie Abbott, Presidentg Ethel Hart, Vice Presidentg Ruthmary Wagner, Secretary, and Rosabel Witwer, Treasur- er. This year we sold chocolate milk in order to raise money. Then, for the enjoyment of all, we spon- sored a roller skating par- ty. f I f Rosabel Ethel Hart, Howard berg, Walter Cook, Oatman and Ernie joined THE WELSHMAN 1 4,,- K Xx' '-3 f X 4 ' 'wird .

Roger nurtz was chosen secretary while Rosabel Witwer was reelected treasurer. Our first big X dramatic production was ff xffy fi l given later in the year -a play entitled 'Here We Go Againn. The entire class took part with Mrs. Groff as director. The highlight of the year came when we sponsored our Junior Prom. We invited the senior class and the Alumni to dance to the music of the Rhythm VX 6 l Kings. At the end of the year we looked returning as seniors. We were approaching the climax of our school career. forward to As we began this last year we had thirteen members. we had much to do and began by electing our officers. as a money making project we sold candy to the students at noon.We also spon- sored a Christmas Dance for the public. The music was furnished by Frankie Delvin's orchestra. Another highlight of the year was the presentation of our play, WRebecca of Sunnybrook Farmn, which was directed by our class adviser, Mrs. Groff. This yearbook staff year seemed to pass very quickly. We organized our to direct us in recording the pleasant memories of our 'good old school days'.

This was two less than their sophomore year enrollment. However, they took the lead of the underclassmen and progressed toward their final year at Caernarvon. Miss Helen Falkler was class adviser. History was created by this seal which was approved by the entire ficial by the Board of Education. The first to bear the standard seal.

The Junior Prom, the big gala, semi-formal social event of the year, was held April 28 in the Fire Hall Auditorium. As was customary, the seniors were guests of honor. Anthony Pel1egrino's orchestra from Reading provided the music for the occasion. Potato chips, pretzels, popcorn, cheesies, peanuts and pickels were sold to studentsin both the high school and elementary school throughout the year. At Christmas time the juniors canvassed the surrounding community and sold Christmas cards. Profits from these salesmanship campaigns were added to the class treasury for the customary class trip taken at the end of the senior year. The Juniors participated in all sports around Caernarvon.

In baseball the Juniors were represented widx Frank Fries, Eugene Styer, Paul Szajna and Robert DeLong. Eugene Styer and Paul Szajna were track men. Musical organizations claimed a large number of these Junior boys and girls. In the orchestra were: Frank Fries, Sara Ann Pike Paul Szajna, Betty Byler, Walter Filmore, Alyce Filmore, Mar- tha Orossmann and Wilbur Hixson. All the girls were members of the Girls' Chorus. With the enthusiasm which the Juniors have showedit seems to be a fact that they can look forward to a most successful year at Caernarvon. CLASS OFFICERS Eugene Styer . . . . . .

The Class of 1952, with its twenty-one members, has shown that they are an important factor in Caernarvon High School. Al- though they are limited in activities, they have taken advantage of the opportunities afforded them. With Mr. John Polischak for their adviser, the class has shown remarkable ability in salesmanship. Selling chocolate milk and orange drink at noon each day in both the high and elementary schools has proved very profitable. Two of the important events of the year for the class were two roller skating parties. The first of these was held at Ringing Rocks near Pottstown and the second at Sinking Springs Skate Arena. The sophomores have proved their athletic ability also. Among the boys who played basketball were: Leonard Gehret, George Mountz and David Rau. On the girls' basketball team were lrene Lil- ley, Betty Jean Pike and Shirley Ann Montgomery. Baseball,likewise, called the sophomores to participate, Paul Miller, George Mbuntz and Leonard Gehret saw action on the team. Eugene Witwer was the only class representative on the tT8CK team. Paul Miller, in the role of manager, was a familiar sight at every athletic contest. 28 SOPHOMORES The Caernarvon Orchestra also had numerous sophomores on its list. Among these were: JoAnn Beck, Janet Beck, Robert Lange, Richard McElroy, Ruth Oatman and Eugene Witwer. These boys and girls have shown great school spirit this year and are looking forward to an active junior program next year. This cooperative spirit shows not only in the fields of athletics and music, but also in the other extra-curricular activities around Caernarvon. CLASS OFFICERS Paul Miller . . . . .

The freshman class, with its thirty-seven members, is the largest of the four Caernarvon classes. These boys and girls come from the surrounding districts in Berks,Chester and Lancaster coun- t BS. These high school beginners have little opportunity to do any of the things permitted upperclasses. A great part of the year must be spent in becoming oriented to the new surroundings and cus- toms of high school. This group has been under the guidance of Miss Rosemary deFur1a. The freshman class has shown its interest in athletics. On the junior varsity team.were: Lynn Sagner, Kenneth Kurtz, Carl Haas, Leroy Beam, Tom Cox, Ernest Moore,Earl Moore and Ronald Bush. 30 PRES HM EN Jack Fillman played with the varsity team. The girls were also rep- resented on the basketball court by Elsie Eshelman, Betty Shirk and Helen Glass. Jack Fillman, Lynn Sagner and kenneth Kurtz were regu- lar players on the baseball team. Three of the freshmen were band membersg they were: Lynn Sagner, Betty Shirk and Henry Hartz. For the first time in the his- tory of the school drum majorettes were trained. Four freshman girls were in this group. They were: Betty Witwer, Maizie Stalneck- er, Jean Lengel and June Patton. With the interest created by many of this class it is on- ly logical to expect that some of these boys and girls will contri- bute much to the progress and development of Caernarvon High School.

To uphold the ed- itorial end, Jacqueline Lange and Ethel Hart were chosen as co-ed- itors. Roger Kurtz took care of all money and advertisements,fai1t- fully filling the capacity of business manager. Pictures were taken by the Gantz Studio of Lebanon and Thomas McCord of Elverson. Printing was done by the Yearbook House of Kansas City, Missouri. All art work in the book was done by Rudm- mary Wagner . ' 34 SH Lill Grossmann Styer. Montggmery, D.
