Whatever the ambition of each one of our forty class mem- bers, may each of us treasure the following recorded mo- ments in our lives, as an inspiring step forward toward higher goals far beyond our present reach. . , ,sa T e 1949 olonel PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1949 COLLEGEVILLE-TRAPPE HIGH SCHOOL COLLEGEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA . .Q-151,2 X.. .

KEYSER As the years go by and one is asked repeatedly to prepare a message for the yearbook, the task of saying something original or different from what has been said before becomes harder and harder. To the class of 1949 I again offer my congratulations upon a task well planned, well xxx xx organized, and well done. . The many hours spent in the preparation and production of this book will be amply repaid by the satisfaction afforded the individual members as in future years they go through its pages and fond memories are recalled of their high school days and i associations. l HOWARD B.

KRUG ' To the Class of 1949: As you commence your post-high school activities you may look back upon your days at Collegeville-Trappe with pleasure in reminiscence and pride in accomplishment. This book should perpetuate for you memories of educational opportunities used to good advantage. However, in addition to general knowledge and certain specific skills which he must possess, the truly educated person must also attain a sense of service, justice, morality, duty, and truth. He must learn to value honesty above all else. He must value honesty to himself, to his fellows, and to his God, not only because it is the best policy, but because it is right. Knowledge without goodness is dangerous, goodness without knowl- edge is useless. You have my most sincere good wishes for a future blessed with knowledge and tempered by goodness. LOUIS A.

Aiding the president in that greatly successful year, 1946-1947, were Caesar Gorski, vice president, Rita Kulick, secretary, and Winifred Merz, treasurer. Two of our greatest successes were the Winler lVorzderland dance and the spring bake sale. By the end of this year our teamwork and enthusiasm had made our class recognized by the upper-classmen as a class which had great possibilities. In our junior year we proved our ability to cooperate with our class oflicers who were as follows: presi- dent, Caesar Gorskig vice-president, Gerald Claycombg secretary, Hamilton Pridayg treasurer, Lee Ann Harris. Soon after returning to school in September we received our shiny new class rings of which we were very proud. Our first dance was the Moonlight Harverz and was enjoyed by all. In February we sponsored the Valentine dance, remembered as Cupidr H oliday. Then came the junior play in April, A Care of Springlime. This, our greatest success financially, was brought about through the sincere efforts of Mr. Hackman and Miss Franzen. Another source of revenue was the selling of magazine subscriptions. Fi- nally came the junior-Senior Prom known as Spring Fanmry and also the assembly program for the seniors, which brought to a climax our long series of successes for the year. Our saddest memory of that year was the loss of our advisor, Mrs. Yeany. Our all-important senior year began with another almost complete change of class oflicers. They were: president, Gerald Claycombg vice-president, Bill Detwilerg secretary, Erma Bean, treasurer, Lee Ann Har- ris. We got off to a flying start in September by sponsoring the Get Acquainted Dame. Our Christmas card and stationery campaign was welcome news for our treasury which at that time had a deficiency of quite a few hundred dollars. The ingenuity of the class managed to send chills up the spine of those attending our Halloween dance, The Clmmber of H orrorr. Then came the Senior play which was given in the Ursinus gym on December 10, directed by Miss Franzen and Miss Martin. It was a Henry Aldrich comedy under the title of Who! a Life. At the same time preparations were under way for the Senior Ball, Le Bal de Noel, which was held on December 18. ' Although we sadly realized 1949 was our last year at Collegeville-Trappe High School, we shall never forget the thrill of finding ourselves seniors, of the proud moments we shared in giving out our name cards, the thrill of our senior pictures, and of our defeats and triumphs in sports. We are eternally grateful to Miss Berger for stepping in as advisor in our senior year to carry on the job of bringing our class safely into port.

Nevertheless, we have returned to haunt the memories of the Class of '49! Even though some of uS didn't make the top we still look back on our high school education as something really worthwhile. Many of us are married and few of us remained alone in the world. Do you remember DIDO? She was going to be a lowly first class private in the Women's Marines. Now she is a Sergeant! She always was fast. And when DEE CLAYCOMB was on two championship basketball teams we thought for sure he'd join the Philadelphia Warriors. But now he's pitcher for the New York Yankees' baseball team. I saw HELEN LEFEVER GODSHALL on Main Street, Skippack, the other day. She told me all about her triplets. Some butcher she married! I also hear MILLIE SHAFFER HOPSON, who was the first girl in the class to become engaged, is sporting a merry family of six. HAMILTON PRIDAY, our COLONEL Editor, is the present editor of America's biggest newspaper - the PRIDAYTONIAN. I always knew he would get ahead. Did you hear about ERMA BEAN? She's now the Commercial teacher taking Miss Majors place at C.T.H.S. MARY RIKER, BETTY FENSTERMACHER, and NANCY KESSLER are nurses at Valley Forge General Hospital with Doctor SAM GODSHALL for their boss. BILL DETWILER has really turned out to be quite a man! After he was discharged from the Army he couldn't make up his mind to marry the girl from West Point or Indianhead. Whom did you choose, Bill? PEJE VZEE KING, the shortest boy in the class, has grown two inches. Could it be those built-up shoes he is sel ing. DOLORES LANIGAN, our rebel, has moved down south. She's Chief Executive of the Florida Lonely Hearts Club. EUGENE NICKLES and DOTTY JORDAN are married now and working on their new home. It is under construction by CHARLES KLOPP, the big contractor from Sanatoga. When RENIE GENNARIA called me on the phone from her boss' office in Washington, D. C., and told me all about him I was sure youid be interestedto know that it was Secretary of State JOHN MANNING. LEE ANN HARRIS, the wife and secretary of her boss at Superior Tube, helps design those beautiful fishing poles that Superior is noted for. What a life! LILLIE MAE CURTIS has been training girls for stenotype work. She's been with the United Nations for the past eight years. I visited FLOSS VONAPPEN at Montgomery Hospital. She fell down the office steps at a big Medical com- pany where she is a secretary. Doctor FIFI MERZ is caring for her. When ANNA HAWKINS came to visit me I hardly recognized her. She lost fifty pounds. Maybe it's because she has been running around New York City so much. She is a secretary for the President of Prudential Insur- ance Company. TOM GEMBERLING has been doing wonderful work among the poor. He has fulfilled his dreams of doing Missionary Work and is to be highly congratulated. PEARL FUNK has taken a liking for city life. She's an office girl in the P. T. C. and really making something of herself. JANET HOYER'S acting ability in the two plays has led her to fame and fortune. Have you seen her latest picture, Our Alma Mater? She's a high school girl in it. CHICK MOYER was make-up artist, and what that girl can do with paints is really a miracle. Who would have ever thought that after SARAH GRATER came out of Ursinus College she would teach Chem- istry at C-T? We see her and her mother riding to school everyday in DONALD PALMER'S taxi. He has quite a business now. He always did like to cart people around. WARREN NESTER is still working in a store in Yerkes. However it's his own, now. He has the cutest helper. Her name is JANIE PIERCE. ELAINE BERGEY has become pianist for the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, with BILL SMITH as con- ductor. They are both well-known musicians. HELEN STENDER wrote to me from Sunnyville Grade School where she teaches third grade. She's been there for the past four years and loves her work intensely. CAESAR GORSKI has been driving a delivery truck for a big bakery. He has been serving me for seven years. They have some wonderful products. Have you seen the comic strip titled All About You! in the Norristown Times Herald? Its originator is IVY HEDGES. She has clever ideas. Seems like EDDIE BAILEY is giving Digger-O-Del a lot of competition these days while out digging graves, or maybe more people are Shoveling Off! RITA KULICK has passed her final exams for nursing and has landed a big job in the Mercy Hospital. She is well-liked by her many patients. After JEAN HANNAN graduated from Business College she took a position as Chief-Secretary for the C-T School Board. EDITH STAYER, assistant Girl's Coach at Ursinus, is teaching students how to play Hockey. She was Captain at C-T in the season of 1948. Well, folks, there it is. All the big news in a nutshell. You saw us graduate and now you find we have turned out to be good citizens. We know that C-T. H. S. will not soon be forgotten.

IUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September, 1946, found a class of forty-six bouncing members crossing the threshold of C.-T. as fresh- men. However, it wasn't until the following year that this class began to participate in school activities, under the able direction of Miss Whitney and the following class officers: Edwin Pressler, Presidentg Wil- liam Nace, Vice-Presidentg Dorothy Myers, Secretary, and Barbara Miller, Treasurer. We had a profitable bake sale, a cap and emblem sale, and a very successful dance, Stairway To The Slam. With this taste of success behind us we went forward this year into a more strenuous schedule with the following oflicers: Lynford Swearer, Presidentg Edwin Pressler, Vice-Presidentg Dorothy Myers, Secretary: Barbara Miller, Treasurer. With two successful dances completed, Azztzmm Harzfeft and Sweetbearfr Wallz, we are planning another dance, a play, a bake sale, and finally, the junior-Senior Prom. We hope that our remaining year will be as varied and successful as our Hrst two years at C.-T. CLASS OFFICERS Pmfideuf ..,, .,...,,,,........,,.. ...,. .,.......,..,,..,...

Our capable advisor was Mr. Hackman. Our officers were as follows: President, jack Zielinskig Vice-President, William Deemerg Secretary, Sara jane Heacockg and Treasurer, Marjorie Bean. - Our first adventure into the business world was the picking of our class ring. We had six ring salesmen Come to see us. Our class finally decided on the ring called the Enterprise. Our first dance, The Gvrllf:'Il'l1'j' lo Hefireu. proved very successful. We also had a very profitable bake sale and we sold hats, pennants, and paper stickers.

Miss Margerum comes from Germantown and is a graduate of West Chester State Teachers' College. In no time we realized and respected the splendid qualifications of leader- ship and good sportsmanship that she had to offer. As seniors, we have been under the guidance of Miss Margerum for our last year and we will carry with us remembrances of a splendid coach. Mr. Robert K. Hackman grew up in Womelsdorf, Pa., where he also went to high school. From there he went to East Stroudsburg State Teachers' College, where he received his B.S. He was active in many sports, winning varsity letters in football and wrestling for four years. Coach was a Marine for five years during the war and is still in the active reserve. He came to Collegeville at the beginning of the 1947-48 school year and since then has amply shown his ability as a coach. He has never forgotten to impress his teams with the importance of sportsmanship. In future years we are sure that he will continue to turn out good teams at C.-T. MR. ROBERT K.

The first game against North Coventry was fairly even in the first half, Norco leading 6-O at halftime. However, due to injuries to key men, Collegeville fell apart in the second half, losing 32-0. The next two games followed much the same pattern. C.-T. lost to the league champions, East Green- ville, 45-0 and to Royersford, the second place team, 44-0. The fourth game on the schedule was against Pennsburg. It was close all the way but Pennsburg finally won on a 55 yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The Norristown J. V. team proved to be too much for the home team in the next game, winning 27-0. Up to this time our boys had been held scoreless, but in the West Pottsgrove game they came through with a rush, scoring three touchdowns. However, they were not quite enough, for West Pottsgrove won 26-19. Long runs of 64 and 39 yards by Don Palmer and john Moorehead scored the first two touch- downs while a pass from Bauman to Palmer was good for the third T.D. jack Zielinski kicked the extra point after the third touchdown. The first part of the football schedule hadn't been so happy for C.-T. but toward the end of the season the team began to improve, winning its only game of the season in the last game against Schwenksville, a traditional rival, 14-12. The margin of victory was the two extra points kicked by jack Zielinski. Both C.-T. touchdowns were made on sensational catches by Bill Bauman of two passes from Dee Claycomb who was playing in his only game of the season. Although it didn't produce many wins the C.-T. football team did produce many thrills for the spectators. Three seniors on the team did yeomen service. They were Donald Palmer, left halfg Tom Gemberling, left endg and Dee Claycomb, fullback. Prospects for a good team next year are bright with many underclassmen coming up after gaining ex- perience this year. IUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL v R Q FIRST RONV-Mr. Steinbach, James Hefc-lfinger.

Al- though it did not achieve a league championship, the hockey squad proved to have spirit and plenty of fight, characteristics of all C.-T.'s teams. The junior Varsity team also showed vim and vigor and we all know that in the coming years they will prove successful. Only two seniors playing on the varsity will leave: Edith Stayer, captain and right halfback, and Lee Ann Harris, goalie. Ivy Hedges, manager, and Florence VonAppen, assistant manager, who did just as much work as the team itself, will also graduate. Members of the j.V. team to graduate are jean Hannan, cap- tain, Virginia Moyer, and Helen Stender. V A R S I 'I' Y Opponezm Collegezfille Oct. Schwenksville Oct. West Pottsgrove tml 15 Oct.

For the first time in C.-T.l-l.S. history a junior Varsity squad was added to the girls' basketball team. There were eight games on the 1948-49 Schedule with an alumni and faculty game to begin and finish the season. Each member of the girls' basketball teams proved to have a good sportsmanship and light, practices of which C.-T. is proud. Although we lost seven out of ten games, many were lost by only one point. Seniors graduating are as follows: Erma Bean, Gloria DiDomenico, Pearl Funk, jean l-lannan and Lee Ann Harris, captain.

It not only won the title of the Upper Section of the newly formed Bi-County League but also defeated the Lower Section champions and then went on to win the PIAA District I, Class C Championship. With three of last year's first team returning, backed up by much new material, Coach Hackman's boys started oil: with a rush, coming out victorious over Boyertown 40-35 and North Coventry 49-18. During the Christmas holiday in what we hope will become a traditional game the varsity defeated an alumni team 30-20. The new year came and the league season started. C-T polished off its first four opponents fairly easily although East Greenville did come close with a last quarter rally. The scores were Pennsburg 42-17, East Greenville 32- 29, West Pottsgrove 32-18, and Schwenksville 36-17. In a return game with Boyertown at home the Collegeville hoopsters won 50-33. Next came a crucial game with Royersford which the Colonels won 26-22. This game gave C-T a commanding two game lead in league standings. Pennsburg and East Greenville again fell to the all-conquering Colonels 49-20 and 60-40. In the latter game Dee Claycomb, our center, established a new league record by scoring 32 points. West Pottsgrove and North Coventry were easily overcome, losing 49-20 and 46-21. Going into the next game with Schwenksville, Collegeville needed just one more victory to clinch the section championship. They supplied this by winning 43-28. After this they easily romped over the Faculty 40-15. Two days later C-T was involved in its closest game of the season. At the end of regulation time against Roy- ersford the score was tied 29-29, but Collegeville squeeked through with a 35-34 victory to nnish the regular season undefeated.

Having won the Upper Section title, the Red and Gold quintet then played the Lower Section title-winner, Lower Moreland, for the championship of the whole Bi-County League at the neutral Souderton floor. College- ville came out victorious 31-21. The next playoff game was against Clifton Heights for the PIAA District I, Class C Championship. This title was won by beating the Clifton quintet 30-24 on the Lower Merion court. A long trip was taken to Slatington to play Coplay, District 11, Class C Champions in a PIAA Interdistrict game. In this game the C-T basketeers finally met their match. Although they put up a good fight all the way, they finally succumbed 47-34. Among the records established by this year's C-T basketball team are flj winning the District 1, Class C Cham- pionship forthe first time in school history and Q2j winning 18 straight games, including all sixteen of the regular season and two playoff games. The whole team should be congratulated on a fine season. Dee Claycomb deserves special mention, scoring 302 points during the season for a school record. The other two seniors on the team, Tom Gemberling with 179 points, and john Manning with 130 points, also deserve praise, as do the two guards, Baily Hunsberger and john Howard. The junior Varsity basketball team which was organized for the first time this year had almost as great success as the varsity. Starting off by winning four straight, the junior Colonels hit a snag and lost their next three. However, coming back strong the C-T team won their last seven games straight, ending with the best J. V. record in the league. The junior High basketball team, however, didn't fare so well, losing all six games. The boys were in there fighting though, and gained much useful experience in building for future championship teams. C.-T. Oppwzefztr C.-T.

Hoping for another successful season, the proteges of Coach Robert Hackman opened baseball practice in the gym on March 14xafter the long basketball season. Last year after losing their first two games the C-T batsman rallied to hang up a 7-5 record for the season and then went on to break the resulting tie for iirst place by beating Pennsburg, winning the Upper Montco League Championship. The '49 season so far has been exactly the same. Collegeville has fallen to East Green- ville 5-2 in extra innings and to Pennsburg 5-4. The Colonels came close in both games and showed plenty of promise. With the three regulars from last year's squad, Dee Clay- comb, Don Palmer, and jack Zielinski helping the others to gain experience to go with their natural abilities, we are looking forward to a good season.
