THE TORCH APPRECIA TION CPRIZE EDI TORIAL5 HE lack of appreciation is everywhere. Men have failed to appreciate prosperity until they are destitute. The sunshine is unthought of until it rains. Spring brings the birds and flowers, clothes the fields and trees in green, and yet the joy of spring is not valued until Su111lll6l',S heat or winter's cold overtakes us. Price- less books lie on the shelves unread, and health and happiness are unappreciated, until illness and sadness take their place. Perhaps similar things might be said concerning the pupil's opportunities, which he fails to appreciate during his twelve years of public school life. The joy derived from things achieved is best realized in later life when the student looks back upon his earlier life training, with gratitude and appreciation. He finds that his interest in art, music, literature, good citizenship, and the like, had its beginning in his school days. The public school pupil is not burdened with the financing of his education, the working out of the various courses, the types of books to be used, the management of school affairs, nor is he par- ticularly interesfted in the Work of the School Board. These things dawn upon his mind when he is about to leave the school, his teachers and school chunrs. It is then that he realizes that he has probably failed to show his appreciation. The saying, It is never too late to learn, can be applied to our beginning, now, to show our appreciation and esteem for those who have made our education thus far possible. To take up our next task, whether it is a higher education or a position, to put forth the best of our efforts to accomplish to the best of our abili- ties that which is before us. should be our ambition. Heretofore, classes and organizations have left to the school some memorial in recognition of their appreciation. As individ- uals, let us give as a memorial, a worthwhile life of service. To serve is to live, and to live is to serve? KATHRYN GOODLING, 531.

One svveltering sunshinny day, as Freshmen boys, we had the honor of pushing a Ford, crowded with a dozen or more Seniors, up Broad Street. That day is memorable in our minds. Despite this un- lucky incident, we organized and demonstrated our superiority by selecting Ervin VanArtsdalen, Jean Kerr and Betty Twining to lead us through the year. After vacation, we came eagerly back, for we were no longer Freshmen. With a dignified mien we Watched the antics of the in- coming class. A change of crew was decided upon, with the excep- tion of Betty Twining, whose position carried along too much responsibility to be changed. Two members of our class, Jean Kerr and Samuel Carr, took the two leads in the Musical Comedy, Miss Cherry Blossom!! We elected John Bollinger president, and Kathryn Fretz secretary, and the year progressed without mishap. With the initiative and intellect befitting a class of our stand- ard, we quickly delved into various activities and studies. It was a very sensible and serious minded group of Juniors that elected Worth Acker and Blanche Robinson as their leaders. The Junior Prom was a brilliant affair, several of the faculty expressing the belief that it closely resembled a college Prom. September, 1930, found a Senior body, distinctive and distin- guished. John Bollinger, having performed his duties so well in his Sophomore year, was again elected president, Dorothy Histand assisting him as secretary. A Pair of Sixes, a hilarious comedy, was presented by talented members of the class, with Miss Lehman directing the successful presentation. One bright day in May we suddenly graced the National Capi- tal with our presence. What an impression we made there! The hotel officials said that they had never experienced anything quite like it before. We forgot to ask them if that was meant as a coni- pliment or ? ? . After arriving home we began to prepare for our final examinations. We are now at the end of our Senior year. Each of us will travel along a different course, each keeping in mind recollections of the Class of '31 and giving Doylestown High School the credit due her, when we have climbed the heights of success. THE TORCH CLA SS PR OPHES Y T was the opening night of the George Theatre in the year 1942. All Doylestown had turned out, for they were anxious to see what kind of a success George Smith, owner of the theatre, had made of his first business venture. A great many members of the Class of 1931 were expected to be among the audience. We noticed on the beautiful bronze tablet in the lobby that the archi- tect for the building was Gilbert Carlin and the contractor Edmund Dunn. The magnificent furnishings of the lobby were done by the Rod, Robinson Sc Perry Corporation. We found seats and as we were looking over the programmes we saw they were printed by the Cohen Printing Company. It was a pleasant surprise to hear a strangely familiar giggle behind us and upon investigation to find Julia Zimniermlan with the man- ager of her X Y Z ranch. Harry Sine, Harold Vang and William Given are working on the ranch, so we hear. The lights were lowered and the orchestra started to play. Upon hearing a bad note, we glanced up and saw Warren Pleiss honking on his Cornet just like old times. Bob Irwin was also hard at it. Robert Pearlman gave an enthralling selection on the violin as a feature numiber and Miss Erma Larzelere presided at the organ. The advertisements, usually so uninteresting, proved strangely fascinating. See for yourself.

First was pictured the laboratory of Ervin VanArtsdalen, the famous chemist, who has just perfected a cure for laziness, aided by his co-workers, Warren Gift and Walter Beck. The next item of interest was a basket ball game between A1 Sulak's All Stars and Bill Slaughter's Yellow Jackets. Ben Kristol and Henry Barrett were the referees. We were thrilled to see the highest bridge in the world being constructed in South America under the supervision of Worth Acker, with Julius Stryker as his right hand man. We noticed Steve Dardinski on the porch of the home of one of the foremen, and who should be with him but Marie? is it Rutherford? Quite a sensation were the films showing the Gold and White Star Line's new steamer, the Honeymoon Special. To our delight we see among 'the passengers Jean Kerr, Betty Twining, Emma Carver and Kathryn Goodling, all properly escorted. QWe doubt if this is their initial honeymoonj The smiling Captain, Dick Har- ris, was busy giving orders for departure, and whom should we see but Dorothy Histand on the upper deck, looking quite at home. The newly completed pickle factory of Eli Fabian was the next news item of importance. His smiling oflice force were snapped as they entered their spacious ofiices. The force included Susie Hoffman, se-cretary to the president. The advertising staff, Wini- fred Gross, Clara Krusen and Esther Landis. The Sales Depart- ment, Edna Strawn, Dorothy Taylor and Leila James. The Airport of Locke, exclusive owner of the Rocket aero- planes, was photographed just as Flora Vasey was emerging from her plane, in which she won the woman's highest altitude record. Connected with the airport was a cozy tearoom, owned by Olive Fretz and Daisy Gehman, and a Gift Shoppe owned by Mary Rice, Florence Shive and Elizabeth Tobin. The completion of the new hospital in Doylestown gave us an THE TORCH item of local interest. Four of the competent nurses were snapped in front of the new building. They were: Cfarolyn Ryan, Vivian Benedict, Mary Chubb and Harriet Stover. The last Fox News showed the Green Meadow College cele- brating their one hundredth anniversary, with Amy Fabian as Dean. The faculty is worthy of note. Kathryn Fretz--French Instructor. Thelma Johnson, Latin Instructor. Leda Rosenberge-German Instructor. Gwendolyn Harry!Gym Teacher. Ruth FunkAEnglish Instructor. Dorothy Simons was caterer for the huge banquet given in the gym. She looked quite prosperous with her twenty-five African waiters. Evelyn Beer was among those present, busily taking notes for the Searchlight!, We were now all set for the feature picture, called 'tHeart- aches. It was quite good. No wonder, with Dorothy Drennen as heroine, and Samuel Carr as the dashing hero. The picture was directed by Daniel Gross and Lester Haney, and written by none other than Katherine Hotchkiss.

X L 5 'Q 'JA Rb' THE TORCH THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT WASHINGTON Why are elevators? Who invented apples? Why are fire escapes? Where was the house detective? Why were the meals and how? Who was he ? VVhere did the money go? Why isn't there privacy? Why is food? VVhy is sight-seeing? What happened to Dick Harris, harmonica? What became of the chaperons? How did the Potomac? VVhy doesn't he show up? Did he remember my address? What is his address? Did the buses have springs? VVhat was George W3S1llllgfOllyS name when he was a boy? Why did Room 440 oversleep one morning? How many embassys are there? What's it all about anyway? THINGS WE LEARNED IN WASHINGTON Fire escapes are to be used only in case of fire. One does not get sleepy at night. One is always sleepy in the morning. The ice water was all wet. 'Phone service went on the bum after 11.00 P. M. Buses are very valuable. Buses are the 'tbunkft Our guide was right. I was iiighty in the belfry. Nights are not for sleeping. The meals were rotten. THE TORCH Didnt like the fellows. How to keep from getting home-sick. It costs too much. Hatfield sported some good looking girls. Bensalem did the same. The boys swore. I didn'-t get enough sleep Guides too high-hat. Too far away from home HIGH SCHOOL FABLE NCE upon a time there was a dignified Senior who planned to be an honor student. She wrote the speech she would say at Commencement. She bought ia. lot of new clothes and got a per- manent wave and a manicure so she would look nice when she received her medial for having the highest marks in final tests. She picked out the college she would like to honor with her pres- ence and sent them a telegram announcing her appearance in September. She practiced smiling to be in practice to receive con- gratulations and medals. Her father, mother, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin and grandparents convinced her that she was a won- derful young lady, and, with a little help on her own part, she was quite overcome by the fact that she was mighty good. She took a week off before exams, so as to be in good condi- tion to pass them, during which time she reserved one hundred seaits in the High School Auditorium for her friends on Commence- ment night. She came to school and took the inal English tests. She took her final test in Problems, she took her final in French, and she took her final in Physics. Well, to make a long story short, she passed her final test in English, she passed her final in Prob- lemsg she passed her final in French, but she flunked her final in Physics. She took a retest, but fiunked it. She was given another test, but she fiunked that also. So she did not receive her diploma, and felt very sad because she had to disappoint the college to which she would have gone. Moral: There is no accounting for the acts of High School Seniors.
