ELTON S. HUNSINGER ELAS5 SUNG CTune: America, the Beautifulj I The time has come for us to part So we shall say adieu, But we shall miss our teachers dear And all the friends so true. On Conyngham! Dear Conyngham! With one accord we sing. The knowledge gained within your walls Will rich rewards now bring. II Our happiest times have been in school We've loved each coming day, With thrills anew and work to do Our teachers led the wayg So out on life's great battlefield We go with armor bright, Equipped by you, Alma Mater true To ever Hght for Right. III Prepare todayg tomorrow,s ours Our motto true resounds, We'll march this day with courage high And zeal that knows no bounds, On Conyngham! Dear Conyngham! May God with us remain In future years, through joys and fears As we strive success to gain. RUTH FENSTERMACI-IER CLASS PUEM I As we leave our Castle of Knowledge Standing high upon the hill, Wfe have a feeling words cannot express And our hearts with pleasure fillg We tried to do our very best While we worked with dauntless will, For the Golden Rule and ideals so high The spirit of Conyngham will never die. ,II We fervently thank our teachers dear For the lessons so thoughtful and wise They taught each day, while we all lived Each in his own-paradise. V Prepare today, for tomorrow is ours The world before us now lies. School days Hnd many new tasks begun Our life is a mixture of work and fun. III Into the school of life we go To seek our chosen career With high courage, with boundless faith And friends we hold so dear. Not always will the sun shine bright But we will know no fearg For an education we deem the best May our dear Conyngham c'er be blest.

TOPMOST BRANCH--S1iN IOR YEAR Our Senior year began September 25 our class numbered sixteen boys and twenty-one girls. The officers of the pre- ceding year remained in office. October 7 brought the magazine sales- man and a large number of magazines were sold. The class also agreed to have regular candy and barbecue sales through- out the year. We decided to sell Christ- mas cards. XVe selected our name cards and invitations for commencement and we also chanced olf a five-dollar bill. In November and December, local photographers took pictures of the dif- ferent classes, familiar scenes in the hall, and activities in the auditorium. NWC selected our class colors, flower, and motto. We presented a play, Dear Daffodilf' Since Nicholas Koschoff and Rosemary Metzinger took leading roles, anyone can imagine why it proved a great success. On November 14, the Junior-Senior Prom was held in the high school audi- torium. Wfe obtained talent from outside and put on a wonderful floor show. To add to its success, a record crowd at- tended. Qui' next activity was a Snow Dance in the school auditorium. We had the B,s orchestra and the decorations included a large Christmas tree. A W'ishing W'ell at- tracted everyonels attention. Wfe received our pennants and hats in liebruary. In April we held a ininstrel which was aii outstanding success through the hard work of the willing Senior Class. Wfe chanzed off a radio on April 30th. On May 6 the junior Class sponsored a dance in our honor. Class Night was held on May 28. The liaccalaureate Sermon was preached on May 30 and our Commencement was held on June 2. Everybody is looking forward to the class trip. After completing the four happiest years of our lives, the Class of 1948 sadly says good-bye to lfear Old Conyngham and we extend our best witshes and hearty congratulations to all classes of Conyng- ham Township High School.

The first oiiicial act of the year was a class meeting where we assembled to elect class oiiicers and class advisers. We retained our helpful advisers, Miss Kealy and Mr. Linetty who successfully saw us through our first two years. We elected these oliicers: Preridenl .,.,, .,,, Q 1-QRALD HQGAN Vice Prcsiderfl .. .,.. EDWARD BEAVER Secretary ..., 4... N ORMA SNYDER Treasurer , . . .... JANE DILLMAN We were sorry to hear that six members of our class have disconitnued their studies at C.T.lH.S., reducing our number to fifty. The Hrst event on our calendar of social activities was a skating party held at Spring Brook Park. Despite the fact that it was an entirely new and different floor to what we were accustomed, everyone had a delightful time and it was a financial success. On September 30, a committee of students selected different rings for the class to vote on. We chose one, and on December 23, when we received them, everyone was well pleased. The Senior-Junior Prom, given by the Seniors for the Juniors, was held in the school auditorium on November 16. We wish to thank the Seniors for a very enjoyable evening. Next on our list was a dance held in the school auditorium on December 16. It was something new, a balloon dance. The decorations were entirely of many colored balloons. A large bag filled with balloons was the center decoration. When this was burst pandemonium reigned as each dancer tried to get as many balloons as pozsibleg some were diappointed. The B's orchestra of Centralia furnished the music. The affair was a social and linancial success. Before the Christmas holidays we sold pencils and paper with the school's emblem engraved on them. Everyone was pleased with his purchases. Our next activity was the selling of chances and the awarding of a silk quilt to the holder of the lucky number. At the drawing on February 12, Paul Zimmerman, a 10-A student, rewon this beautiful prize. Elaborate plans are now being made for the junior-Senior Prom to be held about May 6. Some- thing new is promised. To the Seniors wc extend our sincere congratulations and best wishes for their suc- cess in future undertakings. JOAN MARIE FENNESSY A i Ili: Ayig : ' ' grae .

MISS MARGARET G. HEFFNER MR. DANIED l.. WELLER On,September 2, 1947, the members of the Sophomore Class entered the halls of Conyngham Township eager to increase their knowledge. Our class consisted of twenty-five girls and twenty- seven boys. We regret the losing of four of our members: Arlene Detrery, Wfilliam Hogan, Samuel Kreish- cr and Wilmer Wagner. We were glad to welcome two new members, Ann Berger and Patricia Reilly. The first Sophomore Class meeting of the year was held on September S. At this meeting we elect- ed our class officers and planned our Social affairs for the year. We sent invitations to the Sophomore Classes of all the surrounding school for our Fall Dance. This was one of the most outstanding social affairs of the term. On October Zl our class held a skating party at Springbrook Park. Students came from far and near by bus and truck. The rink was crowded and everyone had an exciting evening. On December ZZ, we chanced off a turkey for Christmas. George Preslock of Newark, New jersey, was the winner. For Easter we chanced off a large chocolate rabbit. Second prize was a smaller one. In April our spring dance, held in the auditorium, afforded us an evening of fun and our skating party was largely attended and enjoyed by everyone. A whine cake and a chocolate cake, baked by the Sophomores, were chanced off, and the winners ot the same said they were delicious. The members of our class are represented this year in the Dramatic, Press, Pep, and Visual Educa- tion Clubs and the various sports. The class thonks thc faculty for their gufdance and patience and our class advisers for helping to make our social affairs the successes they were. Our class extends congratulations to the Senior Class of 48 and wish them the best of sucess the world can give. DAWN RAKER 1-., in - 'gif X tiff Z ig- A Z Tn R .

The build- ing of youtlfs spirit and the body is a contribution which girls' sports has always made to the American way of life. Since our girls are intensely interested in basketball, they have devoted a great deal of time in health classes for working out different plays in this sport. The girls' varsity'basketball has been discontinuedg the four grades in the high school now participate in intramurals which are played every Friday afternoon. These games are very exciting and each one ends up with a very close score. Thewinning team is presented with a medal. Other activities included in our health periods are table tennis, bad- minton, quoits, softball, hiking, archery, volley ball, and dancing. All girls' sports are under the capable supervision of our faithful physi- cal education instructor, Miss Loretta C. Horan. BARBARA RISHAR !'!
