After passing luxurious hotels and foreign-looking embassies, we went to the center of Washington, where we saw the White House. Our first stop was the Wash- ington Monument. Many weary Seniors crawled into the busses after climbing the 889 steps of the monument and riding down, Upon reaching Jefferson Memorial, we ate our box lunches and snapped pictures, while our chaperones, Mr. Samuels and Mrs. Link, counted to see that nobody got lost. Arriving at the Smithsonian Institute, we took a quick look around , and headed for the Capitol. After having our picture taken, we toured the building, catching the l-louse of Representa- tives in session. After viewing Mount Vernon we left for Arlington Cemetery, and were just in time for the impressive change ot guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A dash to Union Station and we were on our way home, weary but enthusiastic. eh to rkght, bottom ro . house, Lorke, Berg, D. Fockenkho . Goodinend, Ntmon, M. SoU, Goodmon, Comns.

Second row: Although lacking in material and experi- ence, this year's Panther trackmen earnestly attempted to produce a well-rounded team. Due to the loss of several of last year's stars, coach John Geston found his task very diffi- cult. On the brighter side of the picture, many of last year's sophomores and juniors ably filled the shoes of previous stars. Senior participants included such standouts as Pete Schultz, Bill Loftis, and Paul Viohl, while Skip Slocum, Harry Palmer, Bill Kraus, Dave Blasband, and Harry Queen represented the Junior Class. Sophomore members included such prospects as Ralph Baren, Ray Grieve, Tony Stremic, and Steve Shankin. Distance and task events saw Schultz, Slocum, Palmer, Loftis, and Baren performing in fine fashion, while Blasband and Queen represented our hurdlers. The future showed great prospects in our field events, due to the fine performances of Kraus, Poelman, Stremick, Blasband, Loftis, Queen, Sell, Houston, and Regusters. The thrills of the season were produced by the relay team, which showed up well at the Camden Relays, the Penn Relays, and at Lower Merion. The four-man team consisted of Schultz, Slocum, Loftis, and Grieve. The outstanding performer at the shotput was sophomore Larry Harker. BASEBALL After showing up well in their non-league games the Cheltenham nine started Suburban I competition against Norristown on April l3 with high hopes of winning the league title. Coaches Robert Cunningham and Ralph Garreth turned out a strong aggregation composed mainly of experienced seniors. The pitching staff, led by Carl Higgin- botham and Bill Siegfried, showed promise of silencing the enemy bats. The other hurlers who rounded out the staff were Ronald Downs and Dick Williams. The Panthers were very strong around first base, with Frank Derk and Curt Barnes competing for the position. The keystone sack was held down by Bob McCreary, the top hitter for the Panthers, who won many a game with his booming bat. Ronald Kelley was installed at the short- stop position for the second year, while Aubrey Fennell moved from second to third to fill the gap left by Charles Messina. Sophomore Rabbit Vaught successfully filled in at the backstop position. Senior Chris Callas took care of center field and proved that he had not lost any of his power at the plate. ln the opening game he poled a long triple to the left field fence. Starting outfielders Jack Charters and Ken Polack were ably backed up by reserves George Hynson, Joe Stitz, and Marvin Sue. Always ready to take over in the infield were Buzzy Ryan and Ed McHugh. ln the opening game Siegfried and Higgin- botham shared the mound duties, to hold Ben Franklin to two runs on two hits while the Panthers pounded out a ten run total. In the second contest Central squeezed out a 7-6 win with two runs in the seventh inning coming on a circuit clout off the slants of Carl Higginbotham. uimrgla ,,m-, fm QWQH Q ,, ' an f I 1 5.

THE YOUNGESTH Curtain going up? These words were the payoff to weeks of reading through piles of plays to finally choose a three-act comedy by Philip Barry, The Youngest , and then weeks of rehearsing and directing. With Donn Winther as the mistreated, heckled, youngest son, and Jackie Feldenkreis as his tlirtatious girlfriend, who turns the tide of his life, the plot went merrily along.

The huge mural of a Steamship behind the band- stand added just the right note. Found in the receiving line were officers of the Junior and Senior classes to greet all those who were present. Guys and gals, formally attired, made merry to the sea-rollicking melodies of the Harmony Kings. Drinks and pretzels served during the inter- mission helped to round out a most antici- pated and enjoyable and memorable Junior- Senior Reception. SENIOR EL DELATCR The staff began earlier than usual to make our yearbook a good record of our activities, for it was chosen in the spring of our Junior year. After a great deal of deliberation and discussion among the members, the seasonal theme was selected. Because of the addition of color, Ruth Kniveton and her art staff had many puzzled moments. Millie Sall and Bunny Haas were kept busy changing page plans and getting personals in on time. Howard Adlin was constantly worried about seeing that the activities write-ups met the SPONSOR MR. WESTON deadline, and Miriam Stybel and Joan Ben- jamin tangled with school and features re- spectively. Jim Wilkens rushed in and out taking mountains of pictures, and Norma Bis- choff worked on the actual make-up of the book. All editorial work was supervised by Mr. Weston, and photography by Mr. Lance, to both of whom we give our most sincere thanks. Our Senior El Delator was completed after a great deal of effort and stress on the part of each member of the staff. Credit and thanks should beqgivenio all who helped make our yearb ' a success.

Excellently led by Miss Juanita Downes as sponsor, Joan Benjamin as editor, and Norma Bischoff, Helen Falkenstein, Stanford Schaf- fer and Bunny Haas as the hard-working page editors, the Cheltonian had a year filled with many successes and accomplishments. Early in the year our paper received recog- nition in the October issue of School Press Exchange , the publication of Penn State's School of Journalism. From Robert Pockrass' column we quote: The paper lCheltonianl illustrates the point, that there's a lot of news around the average high school early DID YOU GET A BY-LINE? in the year. This is definitely a word of praise for our school reporters. The Cheltonian again brought laurels to Cheltenham by winning first prize in the twentieth contest of the Pennsylvania School Press Association. Representing our school at the conference were Miss Juanita Downes, Bunny Haas, and Norman Bischoff. Some of our students winning special awards were Curtis Barnes for sports, Joan Benjamin for features, Norma Bischoff for news, and Don Miller for cartoons. The junior editors, columnists, reporters, business staff and cartoonist all deserve a vote of thanks for excellent support and out- standing work.

Donald Winther as M.C. ran a contest which required all persons able to spell the words nautical, anchor, or Neptune from letters in their own or their date's first and last name to participate in a spot dance Winning the contest, Priscilla Rhode was crowned Nep tunes daughter and with her date, Sonny Silmore presented each guest with a key chain bearing the name and date of the occasion along with the names of senior class officers and sponsors and that of the princi pal. Proving quite seaworthy, the Harmony Kings played as guests danced to the strains of Three Little Fishes and Beyond The Sea, from nine until twelve. ALL Victory number two was another upset and another thriller. This time Norristown, last years's district champ, was on the short end of a tight 36-34 count. Our third success was a one point 52-5l overtime victory over our traditional rivals from Abington. This avenged an earlier de- feat on the home court. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Bottom row, from left to right: Sue, Roberts, Captain Stuhltrager, Cleveland, Logan. Top row: Shinn, Anderman, Coach Jennings, Stackowski, Heller, Lotke. Congratulations are in order for the girls' basketball team on their extremely successful season. Under our capable co-captains, Ber- nice Stuhltrager and Peggy Sue, our Panther- ettes rolled over Abington Friends 47-26, after losing a heartbreaker to Upper More- land by three points. We kept on the winning side by defeating Lower Moreland and gain- ing a close decision over a scrappy Ambler team. Our femmes traveled up to Abington and put up a wonderful battle to down our traditional rivals 40-35. Our starting six was composed of five seniors: Connie Cleveland, Bernice Stuhl- trager, Peggy Sue, Joan Logan, and Joan Roberts, along with junior Mary Jane Stackow- ski. Pat Anderman, also a junior, and sopho- mores Ruth Heller and Barbara Collins also saw action and should prove very useful in next year's plans. Bernice Stuhltrager and Connie Cleveland shared the spotlight for scoring honors. X! -1-H ,LC BASKET Bottom row, left to right:-Mairnon, Charters, Capt. Weldon, Orvald, McHugh. Top row: Coach Mcllhenny, Kelley, Scheifele, Lilley, Fennell, Gould. :if CAPTAIN JIM WELDON The Panther net-men found the going rough last season owing to the lack of experi- enced regulars. When practice began, coach David Nlcllhenny found that Jimmy Weldon was the only returning letterman. The rest of the squad was composed mainly of boys who saw action on last year's jayvee team. The usual starting five consisted of seniors Jim Weldon and 'I im Orvald, juniors Ed Mc- Hugh and Jack Charters, sophomore sensa- tion Lee Maimon, Always eager and ready to give assistance were Ronald Kelley, Joe Lilley, Harry Palmer, Marvin Delfiner, Chris Callas, Aubrey Fennell, and Dick Scheifele. Although our Panthers won only three games on a seventeen-game schedule, they always fought for all they were worth and managed to make the going tough for the more experienced opposition. Each one of the three victories that adorned our barren win column was a feather in our caps. The first triumph racked up by the Panthers was a surprising upset victory over a powerful Upper Darby team that snapped an eight- game losing streak. Our passers had a six- teen-point lead going into the fourth period, but the Royals came on with a rush in the fourth period to score twenty-three points, However, the Panthers held on to gain a 52- 49 triumph. The Cheltenham wrestling squad proved to be a big threat in Suburban District l competition as they ended the season with a .500 record of four victories against the same number of defeats. When coach Wilbur Lehman sent out the call to practice, late in No- vember, forty aspiring candidates vied tor starting positions. Bob McCreary, last year's district champion at 95 pounds, rose to the l03 pound class, while td Spangler took over at 95. Letterman Dave Muir held down the ll2 pound division and Sonny Sil- more and Ed Harrison shared the burden at l2O pounds. Other veterans who saw extensive service were Jack Reiner, Bill Lee, Bob Moreland, Al Thomas, and Tony Colantuono. The Panthers opened the season with a non-league victory over Penn Charter by an overwhelming score ot 40-5. After losing to Lower Merion, 32-I9, our grapplers came back to swamp Springfield 47-4. We made it two in a row by downing our tra- ditional rivals from Abington by a close count of 25-20. Our grapplers then dropped three in a row to Haver- ford, Lansdowne, and Upper Darby, before scoring a victory over Yeadon in our last meet. Bob McCreory and Dave Muir were both victorious in the district cham- pionships. l l Left to right' Pan zeter Evans Pfeif fer, Deverel-l.

March 2l, the date encircled on the calendars of many CHS'ers, was annual exhibition night. Held in the CHS gmynasium, this long-awaited occasion was welcomed by cheers and applause of proud parents and friends. This anticipated affair was emceed by Roger Abrahams. Performing first, the girls began with rhythmics, followed by tap- dancing, then exhibition work on the rings and horse. To balance, the boys showed action, beginning with sophomore relay races, and the uperclassmen continuing with work on the rings, ropes, and horse. The last and outstanding event of the evening-the trampoline-had for its stars Daniel Brandschain, Charles Gerstemeier, William Sell, and Jack Charters, who rounded out an evening enjoyed by all who watched and par- ticipated. CHANGING MONEY HCDNCDR SCCIETY Having been elected to the National Honor Society, one of the highest honors to be given at Cheltenham, nine students pledged themselves to uphold the high ideals symbo- lized in the flaming torch and to contribute valuable service to their school. Elected in the spring of '49 were Joan Ben- jamin, Norma Bischoff, Fay Callas, David Haines, Jack Russell, Joan Sall, Millicent Sall, Miriam Stybel, and Jim Wilkens. Under the competent leadership of faculty sponsor Miss Christine Straub, President Joan Sall, Vice- President David Haines, and Secretary-Treasu- rer Miriam Stybel, the society gave fine service to Cheltenham, including its change ,. MISS STRAUB booth to facilitate sales in the cafeteria, its revival of the tutoring service, and its as- sistance on Career Day. The tutoring service was a great aid to those in need of extra help. Those elected to the Honor. Society showed outstanding qualities in leadership, scholar- ship, honor, and service. During the spring of '50, under the guidance of Miss Straub and in conjunction with the faculty, society members of the Cheltenham chapter of the National Honor Society helped to elect new members to their ranks. Five percent of the Junior Class and ten percent of the Senior Class were installed late in the spring. Standing: Wilkens, Callas, Bischoff, M, Sall, Russell. Seated: Benjamin, J. Sall, Stybel, Miss Straub. K- ,f , f ,ff 1 , K DECK TH A dramatic club was renewed at our high school this year. As their first project they gave the famous play, A Child ls Born, by btephen Vincent Benet. This is the dramatic story of an innkeeper and his wife, who are emotionally affected by the birth of Christ in their stables. Harry Jordan and Jackie Feldenkreis capably portrayed the leading roles. The rest at the cast included: the thief, George Hynson, the narrator, Roger Abrahams, maids, Peggy Lintner and Barbara Norman, and a soldier, Joe Ruzicka. A vote of thanks goes to Mr. Weston, who really gave the play its life. After hard work on their decorations, win- ning Senior homerooms 2l9 and 208 each received a year's subscription to Life maga- zine. Homeroom 2l9 was transformed into a White Christmas , while their co-winner, 208, decorated its homeroom with a cotton snowman. Many 2l4'ers labored hard to make the ornate Christmas tree shine so beautifully in the hall, and complete the seasonal decora- tions. Q wel idea C ner .

D. class trip to the polls in the tall, we learned how to cast a vote when we reach that long awaited age of twenty-one. While studying sociology we toured one of the poorest slum sections of Philadelphia and began to realize how the other halt lives. A Latin lV quintet went with Miss Downes to see the work of the ancients come alive at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. These intellectuals really broke down and saw a show at Radio City Music l-lall, after their cultural expedition. Another group of us heard Wanda Camp- bell act as chairman of a panel on com mercial studies at Drexel Institute ln th same month we sent quite a few representa ives to a mock United Nations Meeting span sored by Temple University Ot course we shall never forget that week when we were host to Miss Edna Koebl and Mr Peter Wagner distinguished guests from Germany 'S f X J 'PW f M051 N5 1f5e 0-N00 S BIGGEST runrs werden Levy X, Mosr MUSICAL smhoff, Derk.

Talented members of this class of Q52 have put the newcomers on the map, Many ot us have thrilled to Barbara Lerner's literary crea- ations, What an artist Phyllis Clark seems to bel And Patty Gott-she certainly knows how to handle puppets. Athletes? They've got 'em Who could miss Lee Maimon carrying the pigskin last tall-not to mention those swish shots he succeeded in slipping into the basket later on. Ot course, we've all heard how Cassie Bethel and Ruth l-leller sparked the girls' teams with their dynamic ability. We can hardly overlook Janice MacVaugh-our swim- ming champ. Academic Sophs began the year right with their excellent presentation ot Anton Chekov's The Boar . Barbara Ball, Dick Scheitele, and Jake Updegrove filled the starring roles, As the winds of March blew, we saw this group hold their big event in honor of Saint Patrick. The crowning ot the Sophomore Sweetie highlighted the evening. Dick Levinson, Helena Lipshutz, Dan Kop- ple, and Debbie Gillies produced a very fine edition ot Cheltonicn and we offer our con- gratulations. Lighthearted dancers saw the world as they enjoyed a festive evening at the Junior- Senior Reception. Barbara Welchons and her decorating committee certainly did their job well to make this travel dance a big success. A gallery of stars grace the Junior Class. Everyone knows Jackie Feldenkreis--what a gal for school spirit-and a talented actress, too, as we saw in the community play and the Christmas program. Harry Jordan shared the spotlight in both of these plays. Thanks to his work on the student council committee, we enjoyed many good assemblies this year, Don Miller-everyone knows him too-has amused us with his clever cartoons in the Cheltonian and delighted us all with his guitar playing in assembly. Bob Moreland- he was student of the month once-sang those catchy cowboy ballads with Don. We also saw Bob head the lunchroom commmittee during the year. The Junior Class boasts such athletic stars as Skip Slocum-record breaking runner, and Jack Charters-all around sports star. ln February, Judy Caplan, Mark Rothman, Myra Rosenberg and Joy Robbins stepped in and took over the publication of Cheltonion. Joe Ruzicka, class president, and other class officers, Bernie Comber, Verna Engle and Kitty Waynes, have ably led the group through their junior year under the guidance of the class sponsor, Mrs, Dorothy M. Lam- bert. Next year, as seniors, they will be the leaders of the school. What a class for those undergraduates to look up tol JUNIORS SPONSOR MRS. DOROTHY LAMBERT TOP EXECUTIVES November lo, l949, dawned bright and clear. It was the '49 edition of our annual Career Day and the school waited expectantly to hear the bell, the signal for assembly. The girls in Home Economics were busily pre- paring a delicious luncheon for the special guests, and the members of the Honor Society were polishing up their best manners in order to greet them in CHS style. Jaan Sall, as president of the Honor So- ciety, was our official greeter. Each guest received an identification sign to wear and then was led by members ofthe Honor Society to the Home Economics suite for luncheon. The guests then took their places on the stage, the students took their assembly seats, and the Career Day Program was under way. Council President Jack Russell introduced Mr. .lohn N. Patterson, guest speaker of our Career Day assembly. ln his speech, Vo- cational Dreams and Realities , Mr, Patter- son expressed a deep belief in the development of individual talents and abilities without the interference of parents, friends, and environ- ment. Following the assembly, each of the thirty-two consultants converted one CHS classroom into a conference room. Many came from well-known colleges in and around Philadelphia, and others were prominent busi- ness and professional men and women. After the lecture given by the consultants, the students in each conference had an oppor- tunity to ask additional questions pertaining to the occupation of their interest. These conferences do much to help us gain a clear and accurate view of jobs and occupa- tions that may be ours in the future. Since it is practically the only program of its kind among high schools, we are justly proud of our Career Day. CAREER DAY SPEAKERS AND l INSIST IDENTIFICATION TAGS K as P'g ek gel , e'uQ'j fpb ALL THE names MEN 'J ' N Y KNITTERS WHITTLERS tie This year several new clubs were added to the old familiar ones of the past. Among these were the new interesting Knitting Club, sponsored by Mrs. Lilly McMonagle, and the new Craft Club, instructed by Mr. Edward Hoopes. These two, as well as Mr. Kunkle's Whittlers' Club, created bright argyles, shiny silver rings, pickle forks, and small carica- tures. Mr, Albert E. Weston revived two clubs that were popular at CHS several years ago. The first is the Creative Writing Club, de- pending on original composition ability and a good English grade for entrance. The second is the Dramatic Club, which called for an audition before acceptance. This club was the basis for the school play this year, Mr. Cill's Chess Club was designed to give paratus Club busy working on the trampoline, spring board, parrallel bars, and long horse. Mr. Gill's Chess Club was designed to give members an opportunity to play for pleasure and skill. Non-players were instructed in the fundamentals of the game. We should not forget to mention the all- important Projection Engineers Club, con- ducted by Mr. John S. Welchons, for their fine work in operating projection machines and the spotlight during assemblies. These are just a few of the many clubs at Cheltenham, each of which fulfills a purpose in carrying on the life ofthe school, Sparked by junior sensation, Skip Slocum, our newly organized cross-country team, under the tutelage of Coach John Geston, showed real fight against our six more experienced opponents. Although our harriers won but one meet, we were able for the first time in history to place a representative in the state finals. Skip not only placed seventeenth in the finals, but during regular season com- petition he also had three tirsts and two second places to his credit. The two outstanding senior members of the squad were veteran track star Pete Schultz and newcomer Dave Muir. Both boys made large contributions to the success of this previously discontinued sport at Cheltenham. Other senior participants were Jack Russell, Bob McCreary, and Ed Harrison. Bob Burns.

E664 BULLY With the blowing of the ref's whistle on October 4th, at Radnor, our '49 hockey season began. Although we had high hopes and played hard, we bowed to Radnor by a score of 2 to O. Rallying the following week, we came up with a 2-O win over Norristown. By the end of the season the score book recorded four wins and four defeats. Connie Cleveland had most tallies for the season, and Sophomore Cassie Bethel was second. We were all sorry to lose our able center- half, Jean Michel, owing to back injuries. She had played wonderful hockey in the five games in which she participated. On a bitter cold day we met our greatest rival, Abington. Seniors Connie Cleveland, Joan Logan, Doris Mann, Bernice Stuhltrager, and Peggy Sue realized that this was their last game. With numb hands and feet we battled back and forth. ln the last quarter, Cassie Bethel pushed through Abington's defense to score the only tally of the game.

Reigning over a blue 'n gold gym, Fay Callas was crowned Football Queen at the yearly Football Dance, November l9. Runner-ups for the title, Virginia Scull, Barbara Coleman, Priscilla Rhode, and Helen Foppert, formed the Queen's Court.

No football season could be complete with- out our enthusiastic cheerleaders and capable band. Under the leadership of head cheer- leader Fay Callas, our peppy cheerleaders managed to unite our cheerin section in verse and song, while the ban , under the direction of Mr. Clair Hower, accompanied our enthusiastic voices. Many new and clever chants were intro- duced to our student body this year, such as The Lineup Cheer . Our greatly improved band also helped to increase spirit by introducing many new marching formations. The cheerleading squad included: Pris Rhode, Elsie Stonehouse, Virginia Scull, Bar- bara Fisler, Marilyn Johnson, Barbara Cole- man, Mary Lou Hawkins, Margaret Weber, and Helen Foppert.

I FCDCJTBALL Composed mainly of sophomores and juniors, our inexperienced Panther eleven, after getting off to a slow start, overpowered three of our last five opponets, thus ending the season with a record of three victories and five defeats. Head coach William Y. Saltzman, capably assisted by C. R. Cunningham and David R. Mcllhenny, depended upon the services of five lettermen as the nucleus for the '49 squad. Sharing the spotlight with C. Higgin- botham, V. DeDominico, P. Clessner, A. Fen- nell, and J. Charters, was a thirty-three man squad consisting of such standouts as Light- cap, Polack, Maimon, Davis, Mason, Can- nally, Kelley, and Palmer. Victory appeared unattainable as our green squad lost our first three contests by shutout scores of 6-O, 27-0, and 20-O to Dobbins, Central, and Haverford High respectively. Grim determination coupled with the edu- cated toe of halfback Jack Charters enabled our never-say-die team to register its first victory by edging out Radnor by a l3-l2 count. Continuing our winning ways we toppled Chester I4-7, mainly due to the efforts of Jack Charters, who was directly responsible for all of our fourteen points.

Joe, who wanted to go to college, struggled through his first year of algebra and Latin. He didn't see much of his friends who were struggling just as hard through general math. These friends were split again when they came to Cheltenham and all landed in different courses. Joe signed up for the academic course, each year he had the choice of two electives- a language, a science, art, or music. Like every other student he had to take health, physical training, English, and history. Jack took the industrial course and spent a GENERAL WC f FC, P92 N005 7:9 1,41 lot of time working in the shop. He had to take the required subjects too, but he was preparing to go into some useful trade. In the commercial course Mary learned how to type, keep books, and take short- hand. In this way she prepared herself for the business world. Jane, who didn't want any of the courses above, entered the general course, Practical science, homemaking, art, and music rounded out her liberal curriculum. Now, at the end of their senior year, Joe has been accepted in a college, Jack has a job already, working for a builder, Mary is going to work as a secretary, and Jane is engaged. Another class is graduating and Cheltenham's students are being scattered over the world, well prepared for the future. lrllj 1-'wil Qi 0 I P j , 'Q' r 1 ,ui ,-- 1 '54 , lx: HH? 6 0' 'Q fwoiv I ga 4'-'- W C Q ,i Q.

Under the leadership of Jack Rus- sell, president, who was assisted by Fay Callas, vice-president, Barbara Coleman, secretary, and Bob Williams, treasurer, the business of the council went ahead smoothly. Some of the new Council projects were: the sale of hot dogs and soft drinks at the football games, the or- ganization of the Student Council broadcasts, the sponsoring of Blue and ClDERl i Gold day before the Abington foot- ball game, and the origination of the Person-of-the-Month election. These went with the traditional projects of purchasing the sports schedules, spon- soring the several Student Council dances, and supporting the Homeroom Decoration Contest before Christmas. Student Council made an all-out effort to make each student feel like an important part of Council. For the first time, the shop boys organized a homeroom, and the Council had its own space in the Cheltonian. HoLo A MEETING S. C.'S EES' SPONSOR-MR GILL JOKE OF THE WEEK IS . . AND THIS I PROMISE.

Mr. Fields, a graduate of Lafayette Col- lege where he received B.S. and CE. degrees, later obtained his M.A. degree at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Having served as an assistant principal since l926 he was elected to the position of principal in July, l945. lt is with sincere regret that we learn of Mr. Fields' retirement at the end of this school year. The affection and best wishes of the entire student body go with him. Mr. Wilbur B. Lehman, Mr. F. Robert Samuels, and Mr. Albert E. Weston share the responsibilities and duties of the position of assistant principal. Mr. Weston's work in- cludes revising the curriculum from year to year, Mr. Samuels takes care of rosters and examination schedules, and Mr. Lehman is the disciplinarian.

The board is a representative group, whose members are elected by the residents of the township to serve terms of six years. To these citizens, who unselfishly donate their time and effort, goes much of the credit for our efficient school system. Mr. Richard C. Kelly, our president, heads the board and is assisted by Mr. William Houlden, vice president. Mr. George Lambert and Mr. Francis Markley fill the treasurer's and secretary's positions respectively, Mrs. Joseph W. Haines, Mrs. Frances Feaster, and Dr, Roland J. Christy make up the rest of the board. The business transacted at their meetings, which are held on the second Tuesday of each month, ranges from approving purchases of supplies or granting local organizations permission to use one of the buildings for some purpose, to owarding Contracts for the construction of new buildings. Having recently seen the completion of the new Wyncote Elementary School, the board's present project is the construction of the new Industrial Arts Building, to the rear of the High School. This building is scheduled for occupancy in the fall and will enable boys in all courses to receive some shop training if they so desire. Dr. Frank C. Ketler, superintendent of the township schools, works in close collaboration with the board. Together they solve the many problems, both large and small, which come up in the school system. Mr. Richard Miller, as assistant to the Secretary of the Board, is in charge of keep- ing business running on schedule. WE DO! HAMBURGERS TODAY THERE GOES THE BELL! m .

Mrs. Link was always ready with her helpful counsel about college, her guid- ance in planning a party or a dance, and her suggestions for conducting class business. Both Mrs. Link and Mr. Chubb, our years of Class Advisers during three high school, have become an essential part of our school experiences. We shall continue to remember them fection and gratitude.
