Vs a result, a part of your education has heen affected In the mobilization and training of human abilities to meet wartime needs. You a re now passing through the portals of your Mina Mater that swing outward into a world changed by the impact of war. You are going forth with a philosophy of life in which love, understanding and peace shall displace might, destruction and death in building a better world for tomorrow. It may be true that there are no great opportunities for pioneering in the discovery of new lands, but there are unusual opportunities for the development of new relations between men and nations.

The following year we elected our officers, and under their able leadership we started out in full sail to raise money for our trip to Washington. When war was declared we received the heart-breaking news that we could not go to W ashington: however this did not dampen our high spirits. W e resolved that we would devote all of our time and energy in making our yearbook better than ever and in supporting all of the school activities. W e showed our athletic prowess on the gridiron, the diamond, and the basketball court. We utilized our musical talents in the chorus, hand, and orchestra. We gained recognition in journalism through the Blue and Cold. es. we missed a great ileal of fun W ashington and Class l)a but we are not complaining. It helped us to become more serious minded so that we will he ready to take our place when the war is over and peace rules the world once more. Our carefree school days have come to a close, but as the old saving goes: They are gone, but not forgotten.

H. S. GRADUATES SPONSOR PLAY IN HOME TOWN Once more, some of the prominent actors of the class of 1943 gave a magnificent performance before a capacity audience of home town friends and school chums. Their acting, no doubt, will decide their future professions. It was a comedy in three acts, produced, directed, written, and starred in by MGM’s box office attraction. Vernon Gray. Co-starred with Mr. Gray was Rosemary Dobbin, the latest Oscar Award Winner. The cast also included Emma Dunacusky, Dorothy Smith, and Marie Zinni. The music was arranged by John Maksimowicz and directed by George Nor-cross. All of these actors and actresses appeared in the annual senior play when they were seniors in our local high school. This past training was the beginning of a future in the cinema. MGM also released two of their best costume designers. Caroline Turssline and Ethel Long, to see that the players had the right types of costumes. Frances Sutera and Irene Panish. both local girls, who made good as set supervisors for MGM, were there to check on the background. Also on hand to administer first aid to those who might suffer any injuries from laughter was Community Nurse Della Mashett. LEADERS OF BUTCHERS’ UNION A new union of meat cutters was added to the list of the many known unions. The butchers decided to unite and protect themselves by creating the United Butchers’ Union. Chosen as heads of the union were two of the town’s meat suppliers. Bebe Field and Stanley Wisniewski. LOCAL DESIGNER OPENS DRESS SHOP The doors of the Denendo's Dress Shop, owned and operated by Miss Dorothy Denendo. were opened to the public this morning. A full stock of the latest designed dresses will be on hand from which to choose. Miss Denendo. a resident of Conshohocken. and a graduate of the High School in 1943, has designed the interior of her shop and also designs all of the dresses sold. While in high school, her artistic talent was used in sketches in the magazine which the high school published. To assist her in operating the business. Miss Denendo has employed many of her former classmates. Those that are on the payroll are: Helen DeAngelis and Florence Lukens, who serve as clerks; business manager, Vincent Radatti; models, Ethel Gavin and Marie Mill-house; advertising manager, Merrill Beazer; and secretary, Eleanor Swartz MAKES OWN TRUMPET MUTE The mute which Donna Mary Young uses in her trumpet is her own invention. She worked on it for more than six months until she felt it was perfected. During that time, she stuffed anything available into the bell, including silks, satin and every kind of paper and cardboard. She has now patented the device. With this mute stuck into the bell of her horn. Miss Young can play so softly that she can barely be heard by anyone standing three feet from her. She invented this mute so she could practice without disturbing the neighbors. Miss Young and her orchestra are on the Earle stage this week and will be glad to welcome any of her old classmates or schoolmates from Conshohocken. :to THE CONSHOHOCKEN ECHO GRADUATES FROM C. H. S. ADMITTED TO BAR Five new attorneys were admitted to practice law in the Montgomery County Common Pleas and Orphans’ Courts at a special exercise held this morning in Court Room B. Among the group admitted were two graduates of the class of 1943 of the Conshohocken High School, John Traub and Agnes Travag-line. Miss Travagline's admission makes the total of three women attorney members in Montgomery County. Her former classmates wish her success in her profession. PRODUCER DISCOVERS SINGERS IN HOME TOWN One of the pleasures of being a theatrical producer is the joy of discovery, and last season J. B. Dijiosia. Broadway manager, made a real find in two of his former classmates from Conshohocken High School, Clara and Helen Waszena. Both are appearing and singing in The Student Prince. now playing at the Forrest. Manager Dijiosia made the discovery when he heard the sisters sing with a local municipal orchestra at one of the town's public concerts. SCHOOLMATES MEET AT A MEDICAL PROGRAM Members of the Montgomery County Medical Society were guests of the Reading Medical Society yesterday at the Reading Hospital, Reading, Penna. The hospital officials arranged a program on the topic Non-Tuberculous Chronic Pulmonary Disease which was presented by four of the hospital's staff members. After this program, Dr. Melvin Nixon and Dr. Joseph Ehlinger, both prominent Conshohocken physicians. and Dr. Frank Woyden, formerly of Conshohocken, now practicing in Reading, led a general discussion on the topic. PEST EXTERMINATOR DISCOVERED Two of the state's outstanding agricultural experts, Frank Ferraioli and Felix Birch, have discovered a method which will relieve the growers of sweet corn of their most annoying pest, the ear-worm or corn-borer, as it is sometimes called. By dusting the silk on the ears of the corn during the developing period with one per cent Rotenone every four days until the ears are fully matured, the invasion of the corn-borer can be controlled. Birch and Ferraioli stumbled upon this pest exterminator while trying to produce a seed which would yield an ear of corn twice the size of a normal ear. This new dusting powder which they invented is now on the market for use on all types of sweet corn. 31 THE CONSHOHOCKEN ECHO The Jockey Club held its fifth annual meeting at the Derby Clubhouse last night to pay its highest honors to the jockey of the year. Many well-known derby winners, such as Johnny Longden and Eddie Arcaro paid their respects to William Achuff. the jockey who rode more winners than any other known rider. William was presented with a loving cup filled with oats! ’43 GRADUATES SECURE POSITIONS IN NEW BANK The growth in population and finance of Conshohocken has made it necessary to open another bank. The building of financial transfers and business transactions will be located at Second Avenue and Fayette Street. A local contractor. Donald Staley, will submit a bid for the erection of the new site. Miss Jane Mulkiewicz and Miss Anna Nanasko. both graduates of the class of '43 of Conshohocken High School, are the applicants to fill two of the positions available upon completion of the building. Miss Mulkiewicz will do clerical work, whereas Miss Nanasko will undertake the duties of a secretary. ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITIES OF INSTRUCTORS The United States Civil Service Commission announced yesterday that Lieut. Commander Eugene Katz of the Naval Aviation Corps and 1st Lieut. Richard Mundy of the Marine Air Corps, will instruct students in the Naval Aviation Service Schools and the Marine Air Force Technical Schools, respectively. Both instructors are graduates of the 1943 class of our local high school, after which they enlisted in the armed forces during World War II. Conshohocken is proud of the record which her boys made in World War II. LIBRARIAN APPOINTED Miss Frances Slingluff. 301 Fayette Street, was appointed to fill the post of librarian at the Conshohocken Free Library. A dinner was held last night in her honor and she will begin her duties on Monday. TO COVER OLYMPICS Some newspapers have a hard time trying to decide what delegates should be sent to cover the sports events that occur at the Olympics. One well-known newspaper did not have this difficulty as they had in their employment two good sports reporters. Chosen to represent their paper and to supply us with the thrills of the sports were John DeMedio and Frank Novi, of the Know It All Chronicle. FAMOUS AUTHOR TO SPEAK AT WOMEN’S CLUB Miss Zora Clarke, co-author, with Sara Burrell. of one of the best sellers. “The Man Who Came Back. will be the speaker at the Golden Jubilee luncheon of the Philadelphia Section of the National Council of American Women tomorrow at the American Legion Home. The organization will celebrate fifty years of outstanding and continuous service to the Conshohocken community and to charity. 32 REVERIE Catherine Gambone In the cool, grey (lush of erening lly the light of o fur off ark A young man sits by his window. Staring out at the disinnl dark. He thinks,yes, he thinks of life's problems. Of what he will do when he's through And the school that lias meant so much to him II ith its colors of Gold and Blue. His Alma Mater has tried to prepare For the time he'll lake that grace stride. But the world has changed; there's a turn in the road. And it's up to him to decide. That bend in the road leads not to a desk For which he so zealously planned— That college diploma—or clerical work. For Colundda beckons her hand. His country' needs him as never Inf ore; He must follow that bend to her aid And give her his all in service and love. Thus helping autocracy fade. His decision is made, but the next step is vague; The navy—on some distant ocean? Or will he choose the daring marines. Those brave who are ever in motion? Then he looks to the army, the strength on the land. And the air men who sail in formation. Let him serve where he may; he'll be Jighting to save 'The freedom of this cherished nation. Then wlial of that school chum, that sweetheart of his? He knows she'll, too. heed the call— Be it II . I ACS, or the II 11 I.S. or the daring few II AFS, He knows she’ll give to it her all. Perhaps she will join that valiant troop Of women who dress all in white— And work midst the wounded, the dying, the dead— They who work with a tireless might. That's what he thinks, this lad of ours. As he ponders when day is done, II ith a lump in his throat for the nation he loves, II hose fight for right must be icon. 33 S E E N ABOUT I O W N Mow do they rale? Horseplay al noon.

Lucky Alice Shaw is willed those widely admired plaid shirts worn by her pal Jean Stiteler. The combined musical talents of Raymond Shultz and Earl Link we leave to that dashing maestro of the junior class, Rill Mitchell. The quiet ways of Anthony DeSantis we will to Tony Pagliaro. This will help to make him a little less noisy. Maybe Bernard Solonika will find some way to benefit by the middle name of George Percival Wiinmer, which is hereby willed to him. Since Frank Smith is very seldom absent, he will not be harmed by the absence left to him by Richard Pearson. 36 Dancing master, Harry Fleclitner, passes his terlinii|iie on to another good dancer. Knss O'Neil. To June French we leave Kdith Hoffman's cheerfulness and fluency on any topic.

S. cheerleaders started their successful season by having a skating party to provide for new outfits. The girls were exceptionally good this year and looked exquisite in their new navy blue culottes, bright yellow sweaters, and cheerleaders’ turbans. The cheerleaders used the old cheers and composed some snappy new ones that went over with a hang. We extend congratulations to the cheerleaders for their loyalty to their Alma Matei and hope that the juniors will inspire the team to victory next year. 40 Top Hoic: Hih Iut, Brun, Ferraioli, (Graham, hat .

The Golden Bears won seven out of fourteen encounters. Traveling difficulties due to the war forced two of the original six contestants to leave the Section Six League. The schedule was made up of new and foreign competition. The Blue and Gold team reached its destination via public conveyances instead of the regular chartered buses. The Golden Bears, being built around John Pasquini, Frank Novi, ami John kasopsky. three of last year's letterinen, was composed of eleven members, five of whom were seniors. Tom ndraka and Frank Novi, seniors, were chosen to occupy the forward positions on the Mi-Suburban Section Six first and second team, respectively. High scoring honors of the season's competition go to Tom ndraka who credited the team with J15 points. Johnny Pasquini, that speedy little athlete, was granted the captainship of the varsity five. it B ASK KTB A LI Conshohocken..............16 Conshohocken..............18 Conshohocken..............26 Conshohocken..............45 Conshohocken..............30 Conshohocken..............28 Conshohocken..............31 Conshohocken..............49 Conshohocken..............23 Conshohocken..............58 Conshohocken..............24 Conshohocken..............33 Conshohocken.............41 Conshohocken.............22 North Wales...............20 Bridgeport................28 Lower Moreland............27 P.

Athletic Association could only schedule seven sanies for the hasehall team because of the discontinuance of sports hv seme schools for the duration. Two hindrances, the inexperience of a majority of the players and had practicing weather, made the games he considered tough. I he team's fielding and not the opponents' hitting was responsible for the scoring of a greater percentage of the runs. The whole team played hard hut luck seemed to lie against them. The fielding was made up for by the team's keeping the numbers in the batting average column high. Hate. Fasrpiini. and Pagaliario were the three top hitters that helped keep the team’s batting average at .2b. . I here will be six players lost through graduation this year. Coach Mean will have to find a good infielder to do the excellent job that Johnnv Pasquini has done in covering the keystone for the past two years. The shortstop, hllsworlh Freas. did a great deal for the team with his good playing and hitting. Andraka. one of last vear's catchers converted to a pitcher, hurled three games and did very well. Whenever Dick Mundv covered the first sack he did a perfect job. John kasopskv. an outfielder, played almost every inning and did excellently in all. Traub. another outfielder, did his very best in all the innings he played. If all the players, with the exception of those who graduate, return next year, the school can expect a team that will win most of their games. SCIIKDI LK May 1 (lonsln.licrkcn 1 P. S.

GI R L S ’ B A S K E T B A L L ON THE eve of February 19. 1943, the Consholiocken lassies traveled to West Consholiocken to play a friendly, yearly game. Although the team had only one week of hard practice, they brought back victory to their Alma Mater. The game was very interesting and enjoyed by everyone there because of Captain Doris Shade instilling in her players fair play and ''light to win ' spirit. The team was deprived of a full interscholastic schedule this year hut that does not matter to them because they are lighting just as hard for | eace as the boys in the front lines. Although the girls played only one game this year, the honor of being I NDKFKATKD goes to them with the hope that their smiles and continued fair play will he carried on by next year's team.

SENIOR PLAY— AND CAME THE SPRING” ON l AY 21 an l 22 the senior class presented its annual play entitled And Came the Spring” in the high school auditorium. The play, under the direction of Mr. Oermann, was a howling success and to him we give our most sincere appreciation for the time and effort w hich he put into our production. And Came the Spring” is the brightly humorous and straightforward story of the Hartmans, a pleasantly typical American family, who enjoy a reasonable amount of quiet and peace until spring enters the scene—to stir the blood and lift the heart. On the first day of spring vacation. Midge, the youngest, finds herself surprisingly in the throes of first love. A charming and lovable hoyden is Midge—she thinks nothing of starting whirlwinds or even tornadoes to impress casual, witty Buzz Lindsay, the young gentleman of her choice—who is unluckily in love with older sister irginia. When the spirited Midge determines to manage lives and emotions for her own ends, the hectic and hilarious complications into which she plunges the family almost prove disastrous. By the end of the first week of spring vacation the three Hartman children have taken important steps toward maturity, thanks to Midge, and their parents have learned a few things, too. Our most sincere thanks go to the cast, property committee, stage hands, and everyone who helped to make the play a success. 50 The cast was as follows: Kdna Clancy Midge Hartman Marjorie K irk pat rick frs. Louise Hartman. Mr. Jeffrey Hartman. . Virginia Hartman F.lliot Hartman Alan Fields Buzz Lindaav Keith Nolan Carollvn Webster Christine Mvcrs Marie Zinni Cabby Allen .

The play was a clever three act comedy called China Bov” and proved to l c a great success according to the audience of over three hundred persons. The high school play is the one production of the year for which ant member of llie senior high school can try. Realizing the talents of many of our students, our school is anxious to continue its dramatic ventures, and we are sure they will he as successful as “China Boy. To all the members of the east and especially to Miss Maeder, of the English department, whose fine coaching helped make this production so successful, we wish to express our thanks. We, the seniors and editors of this book, will never again be able to take part in a high school play but we will have our yearbook to remind us of all the good times we hail trying to make these productions successful.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY TIIK National Honor Society is an organization set up for the purpose of bringing to the fore an interest in education. The chief advantages of the Society are ■ these: it defines and sets standards for the ideal high school student, it has national scope, it is primarily an educational agency. In 1924 the National Honor Society was instigated in Conshohocken High School, and has since played an important part in our educational program. Every year a certain percentage of the senior class is admitted on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character and service. Bv being so honored, the student reaches a goal for which every high school student is urged to strive. 53 tuiinfl: John Trauh. Eugene Katz, John Makpimowirz, John kaftopsky, Robert Swanson.

YEARBOOK STAFF THE 1943 Echo represents the fourth anniversary of yearbook publication at Conshohocken. We, the Yearbook Staff of 1943, under the supervision and guidance of Mrs. Lent , have attempted to improve the hook over the former ones and yet stay within the bounds of our budget and tin restrictions imposed by the war. The Staff has tried to produce an outstanding hook to offset the disappointment of not being able to go to Washington. Our theme is timely- patriotism. Our content, of necessity, lias undergone changes. Because there has l cen no W ashington trip, pictures of us and of our school must suffice. Of other changes we boast: original sketches by two of our artistic classmates, senior autographs, and a picture of the chorus. 54 Standing, left to right: Hans Flcrhtncr, llrnr Hoffman. Doris Shade.

The work of the hand this year has been playing for the football games. The orchestra played for all the plays and they added a new glow to (he assemblv programs by playing for them every Tuesday and Thursday. lso. the P. T. has had the honor of having them at their meetings occasionally. The chorus, which is the outstanding activity of the music department, has done very little work outside of school, but they have put on many enjoyable programs for the high school. The music department is going to miss the seniors a great deal but every senior expresses his appreciation to Mr. Shade for his fine work and hopes that he and the music department will have greater success in the years to come. 57 I{a, A Knit , standing: Vivian lliltner.
