Always willing to cooperate and always striving to better good old Doylestown High School, '38 marches on! During its senior year our class had much to do. As seniors, we had to present an exam- ple to the lower classmen. In all club work and athletics members of the Class of '38 were prominent. Our officers were: president, Donald Myers, vice-president, Charles McKinstryg secretary, Caroline Fellmang treasurer, Ercil Lukens. The curtain that rose on the annual senior play this year rose, two nights, to a capacity house. The Royal Familyn was considered by many one of the finest plays ever pro- duced here. The comedy, written by George Kaufman and Edna Ferber, was directed by Miss Lehman and dramatized by a fine group of actors, who made it a memorable pro- duction. The great event of our senior year was the Washington Trip. We were thrilled by the sight of the capitol city, entranced by the midshipmen, and above all were happy and jolly, yet a little sleepy on the home-bound bus. We doll' our hats to the Junior Class for they put on a magnificent Junior Prom in our honor. 13 'The TORCH OF 1938

FOUR YEAR TOGETHER QAS QA Freshman In the fall of 1934 the largest Freshman Class ever to enter Doylestown High School assembled in Room A. The first class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: presi- dent, Robert Haldeman, vice-president, James Shelleyg and secre- tary, Ruth Carlen. Thomas Andre and Alice Ott were elected to the Student Cooperative Council. The able sponsors of the class were Mrs. MacCord and Miss Rothermel. The object of the administration this first year was to bring about a closer relationship among the students. This was accom- plished by having bi-weekly programs in Room A. These pro- grams consisted of musical numbers and readings by members of the class. In this way, a cooperative body, closely interrelated, was formed, a body destined to be outstanding in the years to come. Robert Haldeman QA S QA Sophomore The class was reorganized at the beginning of the sophomore year. Robert Haldeman and Ruth Carlen were reelected, and Michael Waris was elected vice-president. Gladys Fitting and Kenneth Permar were chosen as representatives to the Council. The class was assisted by its sponsor, Mr. Lachat. There were many activities during the sophomore year, each leading to a closer inter- relationship among the members. Cooperation was shown in every endeavor submitted by the administration. Several donations were made from the class treasury. Fifteen dollars went towards the purchasing of a piano for the gymnasium. The money was never spent lavishly, the group always had in mind the fact that, in order to have a successful Junior Prom, much money would be needed. The class approached every issue in a business-like way. QAS QA Junior The members of the Junior Class of 1938 devoted practically all their time and interest to the outstanding event of the year-the Junior Prom. It has long been the custom in the Doylestown High School for the Junior Class to sponsor this dance in honor of the Senior graduates. The Prom, held in the Armory on June twenty-third, proved very successful, due to the cooperation of every committee member. The financial chairman, Charles McKinstry, reported that approximately three hundred dollars war spent in honor of the Class of 1937. Those persons selected as officers dur- ing the school year 1936-7 were: presi- B. Power, C. McKinstry, R. Haldeman, G. Fitting, M. Waris, C. Fellman J. Shelley, R. Carlen. 'The TORCH OF1938 IQ
