THE TORCH 1942 Published by the Senior Class of Doylestown High School DOYLESTOWN PENNSYLVANIA DEDICATIUN HEN the dark shrouds of war slowly began to engulf the world in the fall of 1939, many of us in America had not awakened to its true signi- ficance. VVhen planes droned over London, Liverpool, and scores of other cities, to rain destruction on helpless civilians helow, many of us still shrugged our shoulders and said, lt can't happen here. But when the air waves hummed with the story of Pearl Harhor, we knew that that war was inevitable, if we were to pre- serve our American way of life. In the weeks that slowly followed the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, hopeful American families waited to hear from their loved ones, serving their nation across the ocean. When that message came, for some, its source was the United States government statingfuxve regret to inform you that your son died in action, December 7. Such was the news that came to the Zaczkiewicz family, whose son Nlarion was the first Doylestown High School graduate to pay the supreme sacrifice in VVorld VVar Il. He was a true American. To Marion Zaczkiewicz and all other students, alumni, and teachers of Doylestown High School who have joined the armed forces of our nation, either hy enlistment or through the Selective Service Act, we the editors of The 1942 Torch dedicate our yearbook. -lll- A ESS!

Suddenly the bell rings, and the students gaily enter the classroom, ready to begin another school-day. The time is 1804 at the Union Academy in Doylestown, but the scene is not strange, for students of Doylestown High School are still doing the same things at the same place. However many changes have been made in Doylestown High School since that first school in 1804-the Union Academy. Since then the school has grown greatly in size, enrollment, number of teachers, and activities. The academy at that time was a private school, directed by the Reverend Mr. Uriah DuBois, who was assisted by one other teacher. It was a small stone building and contained only four rooms. Records of the earlyhistory of the academy show that the average enrollment was about twenty-two and that the subjects taught were: Latin, Greek, mathe- matics Carithmetic and algebral English, and rhetoric. The building was Brst used for public school purposes in 1849, and forty years later the original academy was torn down, and the first building of the present school was started. Additions consisting of the second building and the junior high school were made in 1912 and 1926 respectively. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of that first graduating class of the present school, but the seven members of the class of 1892 would be greatly amazed if they were to visit Doylestown High School today, for they would find that the original three-year high school course has been increased to four years that commercial subjects, physical training, home economics, art, music, and manual training have all been added to the curriculum. Thus during the fifty years that have gone by the Doylestown School System can well boast of adjusting its program of studies to meet the needs of this changing world of ours. 6 PREFACE HE 1942 TORCH is an anniversary number, for this year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the first graduating class of Doylestown High School. In the pages that follow an attempt has been made to present not only a complete record of the senior class but also a summation of the clubs and activities of the school during these years. The lay-out of the book is somewhat different from previous Doylestown annuals in that the arrangement of material is more like a real book. The contents are divided into five books and these in turn into chapters. The type selected is light face to conform with the style of the book. The art work for the dividers symbolizes the early activities of the school. Credit is given to the School Press Review, a monthly magazine published by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, for the idea, and to our printer, engraver, and photographer for their cooperation in helping us to develop this idea. If there are any mistakes or omissions, the editor asks the reader to overlook them, for there never was a perfect yearbook. 7 Norristown, Pa., May 6, 1942. Miss MARGARET BRUNNER, Doylestown High School, Doylestown, Pa., DEAR EDITOR: As you probably know, the first issue of the Doylestown High School Torch was published a little over twenty-five years ago. I have a copy of that issue before me now, and with it several of the more recent issues. It is indeed pleasing to see what a fine publication has grown out of our first efforts back in December, 1916, and it seems to me that the hard conscientious work which the editorial staff and business managers gave to those first numbers must have been equalled or bettered by each of the other boards since that time. Margaret Mead, Emma Hartranft, Earl Fell, Dorothy Sholler, Robert Radcliffe, Iohn Rosenberger, Frank Worthington, Foster Fell, and George Leattor worked with me on that first Editorial Staff and we were advised and aided by Dr. Carmon Ross and other teachers. Although the staff is widely scattered now and we seldom see each other, I shall take the liberty of speaking for all of them, and express our best wishes for the success, of you, your editorial staff, and your faculty advisers, and for the continued successful growth of the Torch of Doylestown High School. Sincerely yours, HOWARD WORTHINGTON, '17 fFirst editor of The Torchl will v- X51 Vim I l I I l I BUCK I ADMINISTRATION 1372111 Q .Hg ., .V , f -.a Q A., .- - ,qw K Q. ml. in an..

S. degree from Pennsyl- vania State College and his Masterfs degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Halderman has also completed all credits at Temple University for a doctor's degree, passed his preliminary examination, and is now working on his thesis. VVhen this work is completed, the doctorate will be conferred upon him. This is his sixth year as supervising principal of the school. Besides Mr. Halderman, since that first graduating class in 1892, when Mr. I. L. Shroy, a well known poet of that day, was principal, there have been five other heads of the school, but none remained so long as Dr. Carmon Ross, who gave the best years of his life to build a school system which became known throughout the state for its progressive ideas. In Mr. Halderman's administrative duties, he is responsible to the Board of Education which in turn is responsible to the citizens of Doylestown, upon whom the election of Board members depends. Little of the early history of the Board is known, for their meetings were not recorded until 19083 however, the decisions of its members in recent years reflect forethought and vision. All of them have given of their time and energy to make the school a better place under existing, crowded conditions. The purchase of a tract of land for a new school is one of their most outstanding accomplishments within the last few years. Since then the Board has allotted funds each year to develop the athletic fields at the new sight. This year the board made possible a new room on the second floor to relieve congested conditions. It financed the Handbook, a booklet for new students to help them to adjust themselves to their environment. And each year when students return to the school, all necessary equipment is available, and the build- ing is in the best of condition. Faculty and students alike are appreciative of the interest shown by the members ofthe Doylestown School Board which includes: Mr. William Satter- thwaitc, president for Hfteen years, Mrs. Louisa Kerr, vice president, Mr. Walter Carwithen, secretary, Mr. Wlestley Bunting, treasurer, Mr. Frank Mitch, superin- tendent of building and grounds. 9 Mu.

Iffllllli .W r. xvilliilffl Satterthwaite MR. SATTERTHWAITE'S MESSAGE It is fitting that this issue ,of the Torch with its historical theme should be dedicated to the boys in the service. We may consider the modern history of the high school, as we know it, as beginning in the early years of the 20th Century. The names of a large number of its students up to 1918 appear on the Memorial Tablet in the auditorium. A new Honor Roll is rapidly being compiled from the younger generation who attended school since the first World War. Thus a large percentage of its pupils for the past four decades have been or soon will be in their nation's service. Since the Colonial Days, Doylestown and Bucks County have been well represented in every call for our national defense. Although our school has no course in military training, a patriotic love for our country and a knowledge of its institutions have been a vital part of its curriculum throughout the years. We are confident that in the present emergency its graduates and former students, both men and women, will uphold, either in the armed services or in civilian capacities, their full responsibilities, whether measured by the traditions of the past or the demands of the present. WILLIAM SATTERTHWAITE, President, School Board. MR. HALDERMAN'S MESSAGE Never in my experience as a school administrator have students graduated into a world that offers such uncertainty. History reveals that uncertainty and opportunity go hand in hand. Present economic opportunities prove this fact. Several years ago youth had reason to feel there was little place for them 5 today you are recognized as our first line of defense. It should be remembered that this change is man-made and should teach us that man can create the type of world he desires. You have completed your formal public education. I congratulate you on your accomplishment and wish you success in whatever part you choose to play. It is my hope that none may be called upon to give the supreme sacrifice on the altar of war. Whatever your duties may be, do not loose faith, for civilization is not going to be extinguished by the present world conflict. Out of this period of blood and destruction will come a better civilization shorn of its present short- comings. Remember trials and tribulations make men gnot break them. When you look for honors in future years, you will find the surest test is not, Have you won in every game? , but, Have you played your best? I. L. HALDERMAN, Supervising Principal. ll After the resignation last year of Miss Elizabeth Lamb, who was high school principal for a quarter of a century, Mr. Hollis Lachat was elected by the Board of Education to succeed her. He received his B. S. degree from Penn State College and his M. S. from the University of Pennsylvania. He has been a member of the faculty for twelve years. ENGLISH DEPARTMENTYTO acquaint students with some of the best that has been said and thought in the world, new and old, in a way MR' HOLLIS LACHAT they will find enjoyment in it and seek more of the same kind and to learn to speak and write simply, clearly, and correctly are the primary aims of this department. flfenzfienr: Miss Ruth A.

ART DEPARTMENT-Eight years before art was made compulsory by the state, the Art Department was organized in Doylestown. In 1905 the course consisted of mostly lead pencil drawings on tablet paper. Today the school offers three years of art work which has as its main objective the appreciation of classical art and instruction in drawing, painting, lettering, and linoleum cutting. Zllember: Miss Melba Lukens, Moore Institute, B.F.A.

Nlany of these activities, founded in yesteryears, have continued to this day, although the original purpose of some of them has been slightly modified to meet the needs of our day. Because of the fact that there were no activities dating back to the very beginning of the school, the boys and girls of the early 1900's found that in order to have any extra curricula activities it was necessary that they themselves put forth every effort to establish what they desired. So, with helpful and willing sponsors, students of yesterday-fthe men and women of today-founded new organizations. lnto them they put their heart and soul because it was something of their own creation. Each activity had a definite purpose. Today we may find that the greater number of the activities which have survived are still serving the purpose for which they were originally intended. Such has been the foundation of our school life of today, and to these early students of Doylestown lligh School we may feel indebted for their foresight and interest in organizing those things which play such an important part in our present high school life. 17 NEWS STAIfIffAdvis0r, Aiissifluth Nuilor.

Under this heading are included the business and editorial staffs of both The High School News, The Torch, and the Handbook. When the students of Doylestown first started to develop a school paper which was in 1929, they faced a great deal of opposition, for school journals were not in vogue. The first paper differed considerably from that of the present day, consisting of only four columns, and having old style headline type. The paper upon which it was entered was also dull. In 1956 the journalists entered the News into membership in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Since that date the paper has received the following awards: 1956-1958 second, 1959 third, 1940 first, 1941 second, 1942 first. The following year, 1957, the News entered competition in another organization, the National Scholastic Press Association, and since then has received these awards: 1957 third, 1958 second, 1959 first, 1940 second, 1941-1942 first. Early in 1917-18 the first Torch was issued, but differed mainly from today's publication in that it appeared as a periodical. The book itself was divided into several sections, namely, literary, editorial, alumni, humor, classes, exchange. In addition, several pages were devoted to athletics. It consisted principally of written material with few pictures g the type was small, and the paper was of a dull stock. In the year 1955 The Torch was changed from its nature as a periodical into a yearbook. Due to this change it naturally became a more elaborate feature, since its editors had the same amount of money to spend on one book as was formerly used for four. The fiftieth anniversary of the history of Doylestown High School was selected as the theme of this year's production. Margaret Brunner, a member of last year's journalism class, was elected editor-in-chief by the senior class, and Mary Young, assistant. The editorial staffs of both the News and the Torch are composed entirely of the members of Miss Ruth Nailor's journalism class, which was organized two years ago as an elective subject for juniors and seniors. Mr. Forrest S. Sowers, who succeeded Mr. Hollis Lachat, is the manager of publications. Under his direction the Torch business staff set a record by collect- ing over six hundred dollars for advertisements, all of which went toward expenses of publishing the annual, amounting to nearly a thousand dollars. Henrietta Kuhleissen and Henry Northington automatically became the co-buginess managers, having sold the greatest number of advertisements. f wrt work was supervised by Miss Melba Lukens, Art teacher. The stud we irman of the Art group was jane Shaffer. 'N 'w TORCH LITERARY STAFF-Editor-in-Chief, Margaret Brunner. Rear Row: H. Domm, M. Wasser E. Helsel. Second Row: R. Gallagher, L. Ambler, K.

The Student Council came into being in 1917, and has now been in existence twenty-five years. Prior to 1957-58 the council had but two representatives from each class, but during these years there began a new system whereby two students from each homeroom served as representatives at the meetings. This year, with Mr. Hollis Lachat serving as faculty advisor, the council again accomplished many things. In the fall they had full charge of the Curtis Publishing Magazine Campaign, and with the leadership of the council the school sold S668 worth of subscriptions. On Oct. 9 the council had charge of an assembly program at which time the oath of office was administered to the new members, and the new constitution and by-laws were read to the entire student body. Among other activities of the council, members sponsored a dance at Thanks- giving time, served as guides to teachers at Institute, and conducted the spring dance on May 29, at the Country Club. The officers of the council are as follows: president, Edgar Hayman 3 vice- president, Robert Gallagher, and secretary, Carolyn LeWorthy. TRAFFIC SQUAD-In order to encourage the quality of leadership, to promote the quality of discipline, and to protect lives the Traffic Squad was organized in 1950, with Mr. Allen P. George as faculty advisor. The squad of to-day, with Mr. Leland Cramer as faculty advisor, is one organization divided into three parts with the sophomores, juniors, and seniors each having one division. The duties of the three groups are as follows: seniors have charge of the traffic within the building during passing of classes, juniors take care of the auditorium seating, and the sophomores direct student traffic outside of the school building at Broad and Court Street corners. Membership on the squad is entirely voluntary, but each member is carefully considered as to his ability and qualifications by the officers before he becomes an official member. The officers of the squad also comprise a traffic court which meets once a week in order to take care of all the business at hand and to try any violators of traffic rules. After having served regularly for three years, each officer is awarded a pin, and regular members get a key in their senior year. The officers of the traffic squad are as follows: Kathryn Hobensack, captain g Mary Wodock, secretary, Perry Bisbing, Ir. lieutenant 3 Bertha McDowell, Soph. lieutenant. SENIOR HIGH TRAFFIC SQUAD-K.

SOPHOMORE-JUNIOR TRAFFIC SQUAD. 21 GYM DEMONSTRATION-Originally the annual performance of the girls' gym classes was in the form of a May Day celebration. On account of the instability of the weather, however, it was changed in the year 1955 to the Gym Demonstration. . For three years before the change took place there was no performance at all. May Day was usually held outside on the playground, but once on the courtyard lawn where the crowning of a senior girl as the May queen took place. Along with this there were other features such as dances and drills. Due to the present world conditions, this year the theme of the demonstration held on April 16, was patriotic and was corollated with the history of the United States. American Memories started with the Indians' civilization, and went through the pages of history, including dances characterizing the Pilgrims, Dutch Settlers, Revolutionary Period, Civil War, the Gay Nineties, the World War and the present day, featuring the United States as the melting pot of the world . The two star dancers of the performance were Ioy Whiting and Barbara Baker. These girls demonstrated their ability in three different dances, which were all well received by the audience. Although it was largely composed of girls, a few boys did participate. Horace Swartz and Robert Dickens pictured the Good old days by reviving the idea of the ''bicycle-built-for-two . A colored character dance by Ruth Lippincott, Sonia Slotter, and Kathryn Hobensack served as the feature of the War of 1865, while a vocal solo Over There , by Beverly Ingham brought back memories of the first World War. The Stars and Stripes Forever , which included a line dance, a ballet, and a military tap concluded the 1942 Gym Demonstration. The girls in the line dance were dressed in blue, the ballet girls in white, and the military tap dancers in red. Each group entered, danced, and gradually moved to the background, forming altered rows of the flag colors. Much credit should be given to Miss Lillian V. Kelley, who found it necessary to work with the girls from eight to ten weeks due to the fact that the classes meet only once a week. Mr. Frick, instrumental director, Miss Smith, sewing teacher, and Mr. Wolfe, whose class of boys did excellent marching formations, are also to be commended for their efforts in making the performance a success. The making of the costumes, the ushering, and the ticket sales-all of these duties were done by the girls themselves under the direction of Miss Kelley. This year part of the receipts from the demonstration were used for girls' athletics equipment, but the larger share was given to the Bucks County Medical Society. 22 Gizfnz lhfllltlll.I'fl'l1fl.UlI.'

A few years later Miss Margaret Lehman, later Mrs. Richard Beck, was elected as English instructor and dramatic coach. Her long and successful career terminated in 1940 when she accompanied her husband to Boston. She was responsible for many of the present day policies of the club which include the point system, the inner circle, and the double cast system. This year the club presented Mystery at Greenfingers , a farce in three acts, by I. B. Priestly. The play was given on December 12 and 15, under the direction of Miss Ruth Snyder, English instructor. Mystery at Greenfingersv is a gay come :ly which centers around the disap- pearance of an elderly guest, Miss Tracy, who loves mysteries and likes to poke about in other people's business. Mr. Crowther, an ex-Scotland yard officer, plays the role of the self-important policeman who literally knows it all. Young and pretty Helen Tennent is the games and social hostess at the hotel. With the aid of Fred Poole, the cocktail barman, she is carrying on an unlawful business of selling narcotics. The sharp hotel secretary, Edna Sandars, in helping to solve the mystery wins the admiration of Keith Heley, assistant hotel manager. Mrs. Rose Heaton, stall' manageress at the hotel, and Arnold Iordon, chef, play the roles of the typical husband and wife who have had an argument. Sally Phillips, sharp witted and cynical, and Clara Packer, a simple good- hearted creature, play the roles of the hotel maids. The cast for Mystery at Greenfingersn is as follows: Miss Tracy, Ruth Lippincott and Alice lean Poole, Robert Crowther, Leroy Shutt, Edna Sandars, Dorothy Selner and Dorothy Ference, Keith Henley, Edgar Hayman, Sally Phillips, Carolyn Le Worthy and Ianice Keller, Clara Packer, lean Titus, Arnold Iordan, Enoch Moore, Rose Heaton, Virginia Hendricks and Susan Butler, Fred Poole, Allen Potter, Helen Tennant, Kathryn Hobensack and Edna Larzelere. 25 711:11 lluu,n'.'

Previous to 1951 all senior plays were given three evenings, namely g Thurs day, Friday, and Saturday, but in later years only two evening performances were presented. This year Crazy House , a farce in three acts by Pete Williams, was given before a capacity audience. It was presented under the direction of Miss Iean Runkle, language teacher. Crazy House , a mad, merry farce packed with laughs, told the story of the Beldinkers, as likeable a family of crackpots as every got together under one roof. Lancelot is a mild-mannered, henpecked, little man 3 Aspasia, his wife, is writing an opera. Then there are three children, Aay, Bee, and See, so-called because Aspasia doesn't want to destroy their individuality by giving them arbitrary names. Aay pedals his bicyle in the living room twelve hours a day in order to get in shape for the six-day bicyle race. Bee, painter of modern pictures which no one can understand, including herself, is engaged to Dick Charles, a most prom- ising student at the College of Embalming. See can best be described as one of the most thorough-going brats in recent dramatic literature. Grandma Dimity, with the purple hair, spends all her time clipping coupons and entering radio contests. The production staff, which plays such an important part in the staging of any play, consisted of forty-five members in comparison to the twenty members in 1954. The program for Crazy Housen was a green tint with a hand decorated blockprint much like one old program of 1928 for Smilin' Through which was an orange tint with a hand decorated blockprint. The cast for Crazy House is as follows, Mr. Aspasia Beldinker, Ruth Lippincott, Bee Beldinker, Edna Larzelere, See Beldinker, Dorothy Selnerg Laura, Carolyn LeWorthy3 Grama Dimity, Alice lean Poole, Aay Beldinker, Philip Moyer, Ionathan Pypuss, Guenther Orthausg Dick Charles, Edgar Hayman 5 Suzy Kloppenhouer, Sonia Slotterg Launcelot Beldinker, Leroy Shuttg Peter G.

During this year and in a few years to follow, the band attempted only rudimentary marches and simple selections, but before long, experimented with more difficult numbers, including the formation of letters upon a field. Then in the fall of 1954, their appearance became much improved when neat black and white uniforms were purchased. A great deal of laudatory comment was also caused by the presence of a drum major, as leader of the group. This year, under the capable direction of Mr. Earl Frick, the band partici- pated in many affairs, a few of which were: The Hallowe'en and Memorial Day parades, the Bond Selling Campaign, and the County Festival at Quakertown- At the latter event, twenty-three members from Doylestown High School helped to compose a band of ninety-three from the county. Another' outstanding feature of the year was the Spring Concert. f Officers of the organization are as follows: president, Horace Carver, vice president, Russell Hager 5 recording secretaries, Robert Gallagher, and Edwin Riebel. ORCHESTRA-Faithfulness and loyalty of its members were the explanations attributed to the success of the first orchestra. Perhaps this is not difficult to understand when records show that its members devoted forty-five minutes of their lunch hour for rehearsal five times a week. it Even though it was a new organization, the orchestra did not limit its acti- vities. ln cooperation with the band, the group presented a concert before Christmas, aided in the annual operetta, and gave another concert in the spring of the year. This year as in former years, the orchestra contributed music during inter- missions of the Harlequin Play, Mystery at GF661fi1g6FS,,, and the Senior Play, Crazy House . A select group furnished music for the Gym Demonstration and a Scout Banquet. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Earl Frick, the orchestra has attempted quite difficult selections, especially those from Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov. At the Spring Concert, one of the most important performances of the year, the orchestra played Victor Herbert's March of the Toys from Babes in Toyland . The last appearance of the year was at the commencement exercises. GIRLS, TRIO: D. Selner, D. Ference, D. Rosenberger. Music 1NsTRuc'roRs-Miss Elizabeth Myer, Mr. Earl Frick.

Because of the fact that this was an entirely new organization, Mrs. Haiston rehearsed with the girls at noon as well as the scheduled time after school so that their numbers would be more nearly perfect. The group appeared publicly several times, mainly at the Christmas and Easter programs, the Spring Concert, and P.T.A. programs. This year, under the capable direction of Miss Elizabeth Myers, the twenty- five members of the Girls' Chorus again made great progress. Fifteen of the most interested and cooperative members were selected to participate in the County Festival, held in May at the Quakertown High School. The outstanding highlight of the year, however, was the annual Spring Concert, when they sang Will O' the Wisp, Love Dream, and Lift Thine Eyes. MIXED CHORUS-Outstanding in the events of Doylestown's early Chorus was an operetta which was presented in the spring of the year by a select group of sixty members. . Then, a member of this organization was allowed only three unexcused absences from practice which was held once a week. In the event that any student had more than three he was automatically dropped from membership. T Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Myers, the group took part in a number of affairs this year. Besides participating in three major assembly programs, they also rendered a number of selections at the Christmas and Easter programs. At the Spring Concert the boys and girls sang two Negro selections, Great Day , and Deep River , and several Gilbert and Sullivan numbers. According to their interest and efforts in practicing, a group of twenty was selected by Miss Myers to attend the County Festival at Quakertown. The trio, composed of Dorothy Ference, Dorothy Selner, and Dorthea Rosenberger, and tagged as the three dots , with their dash, Marvin Wasser, at the piano, not only sang at functions in school but also outside activities, such as church services. The officers of the chorus are: president, Dorothy Ferenceg secretary, Isabel Myers. 50 THREE-PART CHORUS'IeL'11l' Raw: C. Xvhitcnuclc, E. Allison, V. iwycrs, E. Histzmcl, D. Rosenlwerger R.

The debaters began their activities by sending representatives to the Ursinus DebatingLeague at Ursinuscollege to aid in selecting a question lior the debate. The question for debate this year was, Resolved: That, as a permanent policy, every able boalied male citizen in the United States should be required to have one year of full time military training before attaining the present draft age. Although the Bux-Nlont League was dissolved for the year because the question was obsolete, Doylestown continued in competition with non-league schools Norristown and Trenton. The former was a non-decision debate, while the latter endegl in one victory for each school. IJICISATE TEAMS7.lVt1t1lIfl't't' Tvanzf Hathaway, H. Northington, S. Butler. iIfWf'f1141!fi'u Tram S.

Although this program now includes eleven senior high school organizations, as late as 1924 there was only one club i1 the school. This organization, impressively titled The Ciceronian Literary Society, is the first club of which there is a Wy record. Although the exact date of its organi- zation is not definitely known, it was in existence as early as 1916, for it is mention- ed in the first issues ofthe Torch , Dramatics, debating, music, and the reading of origi ial essays were all combined in the meetings of the Literary Society. Beginning i1 1925, groups began to break away from the Literary Society to form organizations ofa more specialized nature. Until 1952 there was no activity period, but this lack did not prevent the formation of clubs which outlined for themselves ambitious programs. lV1a.1y of these earlier clubs have been droppeil, but the Harlequin, Science, and Debating Clubs are still among the outstanding organizations. The pages of this chapter have been planned to review something of the background of each organization as well as its activities for the past year. 55 llA1eI.IQQI'lN CI,L'1s Rm11'Ru.v.' R.

Thus, under the leadership of Miss Cordelia Brong, who was the first director of the club, a step was taken toward our present day program of many clubs to satisfy the interests of all types of students. This year, sponsored by Miss Ruth Noami Snyder, the club continued its policy of preparing its members for public speaking and giving them confidence in their dramatic portrayals. Mystery at Greenfingersn was presented as the major production of the Harlequin players and in addition Christopher Morley's one-act play, Rehearsal , was given as an auditorium program. At the club meetings, which are held once a week, questions of acting techni- que are discussed 5 plays are reviewed 5 studies of the modern theatre are made 5 and skits, pantomines, dramatic monologues, impersonations, or sketches are presented. A credit system is the basis of all the club awards which include a pin, membership in the Inner Circle, and the annual Harlequin award which is pre- sented to the member with the greatest number of credits. Credit is given for acting in or helping with the production of a play, taking charge of a meeting, or for work done as an officer. Membership is limited to forty, and tryouts are held to determine the dramatic ability of those who wish to join. Initiation, a trip to Philadelphia to see Watch on the Rhine in February, and the annual banquet were the major social events of the year. Officers: president, Doris Saxton 5 secretary, Margaret Brunner, treasurer, Leroy Shutt. MASQUERADERS, CLUBQID 1951 a dramatic club for sophomores was organ- ized for students interested in oral and dramatic interpretation. Under the direction of Miss Florence Cornell, this organization came to be known as the Masqueraders' Club. During the past eleven years it has become very popular among the sophomores who regard it as an outlet for their dramatic interests. Meeting once a week under the direction of Miss Mary Rufe, the Mas- queraders have this year followed the custom of having a different member take charge of the program each week. Pantomines, extemporaneous speaking, imitations, and question bees on current dramatics were the features of many of these programs. Radio-type programs were also quite popular, and several members wrote skits and short plays which were enacted during club period. In addition the Masqueraders planned and presented the Armistice Day program. Remembering the warning of the old adage All work and no play makes jack a dull boy, Miss Rufe and her proteges took time out to enjoy a hike in October, a trip to see Candle in the Wind , starring Helen Hayes 5 a swimming party at the Abington Y.M.C.A.g and, as a final festivity, a picnic in June. Officers: president, Henry Northington, vice president, lane Halderman, treasurer, Caryl Miller 3 and secretary, Dorothea Rosenberger. 55 I.oc'Al. HlS'1'0m' CLL'lB xsNf1II11fl4lI11.' A. Yuunucr, YV.

Reese, who still sponsors this group. At the time of its organization in 1952 this club was known as the Bucks County Historians, and that name was continued until 1954 when the present title was taken. In achieving its purpose the Local History Club not only hears reports concerning places of historical interest, but also visits several during the year. Trips to such interesting places as Playwicky Indian Village, Doan's Cave, and Ingham's Spring were among those taken this year. Donald Mills was sent to the convention of the Federation of Iunior Historians which was held at Harrisburg. In February the club worked with the Current Events Club in order to secure Dr. Arthur E. Bye to speak in assembly on the subject of folklore and legends in Bucks County. Officers: Stanley McCormack, president, Robert Mountenay, secretary- treasurer. CURRENT EVENTS CLUB-Sponsored by Mr. Allen P. George, the Current Events Club was organized in 1958 in order to arouse more interest among the students in national and world affairs. This year Mr. George and the members of this Club followed the events of World War II in detail, using a large map of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Under the leadership of its president, Hazel Belli, the club held informal discussions on current topics such as the forty hour week, the supremacy of the battleship over the airplane and, before December 7, the attitude the United States should adopt toward the war. The Reverend Mr. Wheeler Boggess spoke at two meetings on the subject India and Her Independenceu. These meetings were open to every one in the high school. In addition to their regular meetings, the members of the Current Events Club held an ice skating party and a picnic. Harold Rohr served as vice-president of the organization while Miriam Frye was the secretary. CTLOPHON CLUB1MiSS Mary Swartzlander founded the Colophon Club in 1952 in order to interest students in books and library work. In addition to being one of the most practical clubs in the school the Colophon Club, as this organization is now called, has the advantage of having a small number of members with the result that each one can get a good deal of personal attention from the sponsor. Each meeting is spent in learning some phase of the actual work connected with running a library, such as getting books ready to be placed on the shelves, looking up books and authors, tiling, clipping, and mounting articles, and helping people to find various references and materials which they may want. Colophon Club members also spend several of their study periods each week in the library taking charge of the desk. Officers: president, Doris Sergeant g vice president, Doris Klein 3 secretary, Thelma Worthington. COLOPI-ION CLUB-Standing: E. Lapp, F. Morgan, T. Worthington, M. Sames, L. Miller, E. Tyson, D.

The unusual name is derived from the club motto and purpose: To learn 3 to appreciate g to do. As a result of the popularity of the short experimental puppet play given by the club at the art exhibition last spring, it was decided to devote this entire year to puppetry rather than to several different phases of art which is the usual custom. Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp was chosen as the subject for the puppet play because of the opportunities it offers for elaborate costuming and scenery. Early in November work was begun on the modeling of clay heads. After plaster castes and paper mache masks were made and painted, the body was ready to be assembled. By means of dowel sticks, screws, tape, and tacks, this was accomplished. Hands and feet then were carved, costumes and clothing were to be made as well as padding and controls. The final touches were the strings. About three weeks were spent in rehearsals at which the cast mastered the difficult process of working the puppets and speaking at the same time. However, because of sugar and gasoline rationing, it was not possible to present a public performance as had been originally planned. Officers: president, lane Shaffer, vice president, Marjorie johnson, and secretary-treasurer, Charlotte MacKinstry. SCIENCE CLUB-T0 acquaint the student with the scientific apparatus in the laboratory and to give him an opportunity to discuss current scientific problems are the purposes 'of the Science Club. With an original membership of thirty, the Science Club was organized on january 20, 1928, under the leadership of Mr. William Hemperly who was at that time the Chemistry instructor. Sponsored by Mr. Leland Cramer, the Science Club is this year divided into four sections as equally as the uneven number of twenty-three will allow. The chemistry and physics sections are limited to people who are taking those particu- lar subjects. Chemistry students work on demonstrations such as indicators for acids and bases. ln the physics section a demonstration on air pressure was made with the vacuum pump. One of the members, Herbert Knorr, made an arc lamp resembling the type used in motion picture projectors. Other experi- ments and demonstrations of a similar nature were carried on through out the year. The camera section, however, is open to anyone interested in photography. Members of this group spend the club period taking and developing pictures, while members of the biology group have as their special interest the study of plant life. Quite frequently movies on scientific subjects are shown to the club as a whole. Also, whenever they wish, the members may use the several scientific periodicals to which the club subscribes. Having dispensed with officers and business meetings, this organization does not follow any formal parlimentary procedure but rather, allows its members to take charge of a meeting at any time.

The culmination of this organization's activities is the competition with teams from other schools and at the annual Pierce contest. The team, composed of Kathryn LeFevre, Mary Young, Grace Beer, Mar- garet Brunner, Doris Saxton, and Merle Kreutz, was not able to compete at Pierce this year because that school is being used for defense purposes. However, the Geuting Shoor-Tred Shoe Company invited them to broadcast over station KYW on May 7. Since only three representatives were to go, a series of tests were scheduled and the following were selected: Grace Beer, Mary Young, and Kathryn LeFevre. By defeating Lansdale in this contest, each girl received a pair of shoes. Business meetings are held once a month while the remaining club periods are spent in the studying of spelling. The major school activity of the year was the sponsoring of an auditorium program in the form of a spelling contest. All home rooms competed and the winning delegates, which were from Room E, each received a movie ticket as a prize. Officers of the Spelling Club are as follows: Kathryn LeFevre, president 5 Margaret Brunner, vice president 5 and Merle Kreutz, secretary-treasurer. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB-UHdCF the guidance of Miss Ella DeWees the Home Economics Club was organized in 1952 as the Dinner Belles . After a few years this name was dropped and it has since been known simply as the Home Economics Club. Serving to continue interest in home economics among girls who have already taken a course in home making this club allows a great deal of individual freedom in that each girl may choose whatever project connected with homemaking she wishes. Knitting, Crocheting, and making articles for their hope chests seem to be the most popular among the members. Although the club had only nine members this year due to the fact that several girls moved away, it sponsored several skating parties to which the girls invited their friends. Also among the social activities were a Christmas party and a picnic. Officers of the Home Economics Club include: Ella Miller, presidentg Iosephine Moyer, vice president g and Helen Sherman, secretary. 41 V,xR9I'l'Y Cl,l'IS 1e1'4Il' Row: G. Helscl, Al.

Kelley the Varsity Club strives to live up to its motto which is: To further good sportsmanship and girls' athletics in Doylestown High School. To become a member of this club it is necessary to have at least one letter in a varsity sport. One of the major events of the year is the initiation of new members in September. This year it was done at a doggie roast where the new girls had to walk across the creek in bare feet and tell a joke or story or sing a song. The following day the girls had to wear outlandish looking clothes to school, give out life-savers, and recite the club motto backwards. Castle Valley was the scene of a doggie roast in October, while in November a Hallowe'en Party was held to which the girls invited boys. In Ianuary the club gave a barn dance and again invited boys. The Varsity Club also sponsored a track meet and an apparatus meet in May. Each girl has charge of one meeting during which the members play basket- ball and other games, dance, or give extemporaneous speeches. Once a month a business meeting is held. The Varsity Club is another organization which has a credit system. Credits are given for a letter in a sport or being a chairman or a committee member. Medals are given as awards to those who have sufficient credit. Officers: president, Mary Wodockg vice president, Ruth Lippincott 5 secre- tary, Charlotte McKinistryg treasurer, Edna Larzelere. SOCIAL CLUB-One of the major points in the club program of Doylestown High School is that of attempting to provide such a variety of clubs that practical- ly every student can find at least one group which is congenial to his needs and interests. As a result of this policy the Social Club was organized this year under the guidance of Miss Iean Runkle, language teacher, who became a member of the faculty this term. A group of twenty-five boys and girls met weekly to learn new rules and dis- cuss old ones with which they had trouble. Reports and demonstrations were given on topics such as: letter writing, introductions, tips on dates, conversation, what type of clothes to take on a trip, how to be a graceful host for hostessj and how to be a guest who is likely to be asked again, telephone conversations, table manners, and the art of speaking well in public. A question box in which all members could drop queries was the source of other discussions on miscellaneous subjects which did not arise in the general discussion. At the end of the year all the members had a chance to use their newly acquired knowledge at a gala party. Officers of the Social Club were as follows: Frances Fray, president g Alma Wolfinger, vice-president, and Iean Filmonowicz, secretary-treasurer. 45 SEPT. SEPT. OCT. OCT. OCT. OCT. Nov. Nov. Nov.

CHAPTER THREE OYLESTOWN has had sports since the beginning of the twentieth century, but it wasn't until 1925 that the modern sports program for boys was organized when Mr. William E. Wolfe was afldezl to the faculty. On his arrival Mr. Wolfe immediately began coaching football and baseball and two mi tor sports, tennis and track. It did not take long for the new coach to prove his ability, for in that same school term the football team fivished with three victories, five defeats, and one tie, which is commendable for a team whose members never playel football in school competition. The basketball five, which Mr. Wolfe took over a year later, won the Bux-Mont championship, but lost in the P.I.A.A. play-off. The girls' sports program began much later than the boys. It was in 1958 that archery and tennis were added to class basketball and hockey to make the four sports i1 which girls now may participate. Miss Lillian V. Kelley has been the pioneer in the girls' sports. She coaches archery, hockey, and basketball, while Mrs. Mabel Elliott has the other sport, tennis. The girls have had difficulty with their sports program because the facilities for practice have been used by the boys. An example is varsity basketball which the girls had to drop because the boys used the only available gym. This situation will be remedied when a new school is built. 45 , . .- rm' lfmv: Mr. I,0wtI1c1', assistant cozlclmg A. Michic, A. XVils0n, I.. Ginn, II. SNV1lI't7 umgcrg FIV.

It had been played as early as 1880 by high school students, but no team was organized. Football was then played much like Rugby, with a touchdown counting 4 points. Since the beginning of football at Doylestown, seventeen years ago, the high school has been credited with seventy-eight wins, fifty loses, and fifteen ties. The best seasons were 1927 and 1954, when Doylestown won the champion- ship. One of the worst defeats was administered in 1929, when Lansdale won 62-0. With the traditional rivals, Lansdale, D. H. S. has won eight times, lost seven times, and tied twice. This term the football team did exceptionally well since only four boys from last year's varsity eleven returned. The climax of the season was, of course, the 15-0 victory over Lansdale, a heavy favorite. It was the first time since 1955 that Doylestown has beaten the Iunction-towners. Other outstanding victories were over Springfield and Ambler. VARSITY SCHEDULE LEAGUE STANDING OPP. D.H.S. W. L. T.

After it was discontinued from 1915 to 1920 because of the war, it was resumed again under the leadership of Mr. Allen Gardy, who produced three championship teams in the next five years. ln 1926 Mr. William Wolfe succeeded Mr. Gardy. That year Doylestown not only won the league champion- ship but also defeated Pottstown and Hazeltown in the P.1.A.A. play-off. Doylestown entered the East Penn League in 1927-28, competing with teams such as Hazeltown, Coatesville, and Bethlehem, Hnishing third. In 1951-52 Doylestown reentered the Bux-Mont League, won the champion- ship that year and again in 1952-1955. The next two seasons the quintet finished in the runner-up position. Under Coach Wolfe's direction Doylestown has won 167 games and lost 117. Doylestown also had the highest individual scorer in the Bux-Mont League when Eddie Miller scored 210 points in 1940-1941. This year the team had a new coach in Mr. William Lowther who for three years had been assistant to Mr. Wolfe. VARSITY SCHEDULE LEAGUE STANDING OPP. D.H.S. OPP. D.H.S. W. L.

Under the guidance of Miss Lillian Kelley, thirty girls came out for the first practice at the Burpee Memorial Playground. It seems from past records that the team always had a difficult time finding a suitable place to practice until the new school site was purchased by the School Board. The first game was played with the Willow Grove Wildcats, which game the Doyles- town eleven won. In 1954, 1959, and 1940 Coach Kelley led the girls to the championship of Bucks County. This year the hockeyites, captained by Ruth Lippincott, placed second in the league. The girls came within two points of the championship. VARSITY SCHEDULE D.H.S. OPP. D.H.S. OPP.

Through the efforts of Miss Taylor, a Bux-Mont League was organized in 1925, and in 1925 her girls won the championship of Bucks County. However, in 1950 the varsity team was discontinued, and in its place intra- mural basketball was organized by Miss Lillian Kelley, now coach of girls' athletics. To create interest and enthusiasm in inter-class basketball Miss Kelley placed a tablet in the study hall on which is printed the name of the class winning the championship. The class of 1952, is the first to have its name inscribed. The class of 1942 is the winner this season. Because of so many girls doing civilian defense work this year, there were not as many girls participated in the class games as in former years.

Wolfe organized the first team, the only baseball Doylestown had was Hsandlot baseball , played with a ball the size of a grapefruit and a bat 6 inches wide. In 1928 the coaching job was assigned to Mr. A. A. Beshel and retained by him until 1940 when Mr. Iones took charge. During Mr. Beshel's first season, the team was runner-up and in the following year, 1929, a victorious nine, captained by Allie Rufe, captured Doylestown's first baseball championship. The next great team came in 1954 when a strong nine, under Bricklemeyer, won 8 and lost 4. This was Doylestown's first Bux- Mont championship in baseball since the team had not entered the league in 1929. After that, the closest any other seater nine has come to taking top honors was in 1940 when they took runner-up position. VARSITY SCHEDULE LEAGUE STANDING D.H.s. OPP. D.H.s.

Some golf-mi nded students tried to organize before that years but failed because they could not secure a place to play. However, in 1957, the Doylestown Country Club graciously offered its course to the high school, and the students immediately took advantage of the opportunity. Mr. William E. Wolfe, first football coach, also assumed the coaching duties of the golf team and is the present sponsor. The first year the team played schools with much more experience 3 thus they won only two matches and lost three. In 1959 the team won four out of nine. Five wins, three losses and two ties was the record for 1940, while in 1941 they won six and lost three. VARSITY SCHEDULE D.H.S. OPP. Cheltenham .... . ...,...

During these five years' the team has been a championship team, although they belonged to no league till 1940. In 1940 at a meeting of the Bux-Mont sports coaches it was decided that an archery league should be formed with Lansdale, Souderton, Sellersville-Perkasie, Quakertown, and Doylestown, the regular league members. Since that time the tive teams meet each other for two matches with each 5 one home and one away. For the last two years, Doylestown has emerged the champion. One of the most outstanding shooters in the history of Doylestown High School's Archery is Gene Liester, a graduate of 1940. She holds one of the highest averages on the school record. This year D. H. S. was victorious in all but one match, that with a superior George School team in a regulation Iunior Columbia round. p VARSITY SCHEDULE D.H-S. OPP.

Members included Springfield, Sell-Perk, Lansdale, and Doylestown. The championship cup for these years was captured by Doylestown. The captain of both these championship teams was Ruth Lear. This year the co-captains were lane Connard and Doris lane Hobensack, who was not able to play because of illness. Betty Domm and Iosephine Connard were Mrs. Elliott's outstanding players, having won eleven straight matches the first year of the league. This year Springfield and Sell-Perk dropped out of the league because of transportation, but Doylestown and Lansdale played two matches to determine the championship team, the latter winning 5-2.

Not only have they won the Spira championship, stretching their co'secutive winning streak to 56 matches, but also have been acclaimed the second best high school team in the state of Pennsylvania. This was the result of the team's going to Penn State where they competed withMunhall,a school in suburban Pittsburgh, and Deboise High. Munhall won the match and the title with an amazing average of 999 and completed their fourth consecutive U. S. championship. Doylestown had an average of 995. The Rifle Club was first organized in 1956-1957 under the guidance of the present sponsor, Mr. Anthony Beshel. During the year the club engaged in several meets with a feature match between Doylestown's Company D target artists and the club. Mr. Beshel's sharpshooters surprised everyone by winning the match. In 1958 Doylestown lost two rifle matches, both to Upper Darby High. In 1959 when the Spira league was organized the team lost only one match to the same school. In 1940-1941 and in 1942 the local squad won the Spira league championship without losing a match. They also received honors at the Spring and Fall Shoots at Flecks' in Ienkintown, and individual honors at the Phila- delphia Rifle Club. Most of the honors lie with the female members of the team. Agnes Gerhart, the captaii and the star, had an amazing average of 999!14, with 9 perfect scores and 5 scores of 99. Grace Helsel, another senior rankezl next to her classmate with an average of 99 5f11, including 9 first places. Arlene Baumaster, sophomore, was the surprise of the year. She took third highest honors with a 991114 average. Arlene also won individual honors at a match for all the teams in the Spira league. Raymond Gross, captain-elect, had the highest average among the male members of the team with a 9811f14. Richard Iodry was next highest with 987714, and sixth place went to Frank Kulp, 981114. As well as those mentioned, Thawley Hayman, a freshman, and Arthur Younger, manager, received letters. Besi :les all the honors mentioned, the team has had its pictures in most of the Philadelphia papers, and has been feted with several banquets. The Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs of Doylestown gave the team dinners, and the club had its ow.1 fifth annual banquet.

TRACK-1929 saw Doylestown's first Track Team take the field, only to have this spring sport discontinued 'till 1956 when again an attempt was made to arouse an interest in the student body. This second attempt also failed and no track schedule was included in the athletic program until 1959, when Mr. Spurgeon Wurtenberger, now in the rmy, undertook coaching responsibilities, assisted by Mr. Lowther. In 1941 Mr. Horace Kaufman organized the sophomore nucleus for this year's team which was ably mentored by Mr. Robert Linn, who is destined to leave D. H. S. for a position in the army air-corps. It is hoped that in the future adequate equipment and another track will aid the coaches in giving Doylestown High a superior team. TRACK RECORDS EVENT HELD BY RECORD YR.

Although members of the squad are not credited with any games won or lost, their cheering has been invaluable, and if there were such a tabulation, the team would have a splendid record. Miss Lillian Kelley and Mr. William Wolfe had charge of the group in the late twenties. However, since both teachers had a full sports schedule, they felt they could not devote enough time to the squad 5 thus both asked to be relieved of their duties, Mr. Wolfe first, and Miss Kelley in 1941. This year the cheer- leaders have neither a sponsor nor a captain, but the members take turns being head cheerleaders. New uniforms were purchased for the girls this year. Yellow pleated skirts and yellow jerkins, with the white D on the back, make up the new dress. Edna Larzalere will receive a gold megaphone for being on the team three years, while Sonia Slotter, Mary Wodock, D. Hobensack, Alice lean Poole, and Enoch Moore will receive letters for two years of service. CHEERLEADERS-A. Poole, E. Larzelere, E. Moore, S. Slotter, M. Wodoclc. 57 W'a.v'l1z'11yf011 Snap.I'.'

Q 0 1 50-7 CHAPTER ONE ln September of 1958, a bewildered group of students entered Doylestown High School as freshmen. Gradually, they became accustomed to high school life and interested in the various activities of the school. Class officers for the freshman year were: president, Robert Gallagher, vice-president, Mary Wodockg secretary-treasurer, Agnes Gerhart. The second year offered a treat to the winter sport lovers for the group enjoy- e l ice skating at Castle Valley, as well as skiing and sledding. Robert Gallagher was again elected president of the class, Carolyn LeWorthy, secretary, Susan Butler, treasurer. Possibly the main feature of the junior year was the junior Prom, given by the juniors in honor of the seniors. Every member of the class contributed to make the event a success. Officers during the junior year included: president, Robert Gallagherg vice- president, Kathryn Hobensack, secretary, Susan Butler, treasurer, Alice jean Poole. Crazy House , the class play, was the dramatic highlight of the senior year. Fifty-nine pupils enjoyed pleasant weather during the ever-memorable Washington trip. Everyone was overjoyed at having Miss Elizabeth Lamb, former D. H. S. principal, join them in Baltimore. Finally, diplomas in hand, 89 students went forth from Doylestown after four years crammed with never-to-be-forgotten memories. During the last year Robert Gallagher held the presidency of his class for the fourth year, an outstanding record. Other officers included: vice-president, Stanley McCormackp secretary, Horace Carverg treasurer, Alice Jean Poole. 59 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Theme- Auld Lang Syne Music ...........................,...............

WASHINGTON TRIP Bye Mother-don't forget to remind Ioe about Toots' party l Oh Dad, you forgot to kiss me fSmackl Well, well, did you ever see such a hilarious group of D. H. S. seniors? It's 7:02 in the morning, too. Laden with luggage, packed with smile and song, fifty-nine seniors boarded the train at Doylestown on April 25 enroute to the nation's capital. But before long they were joined by fifty more enthusiastic Hatfield students, and according to reports, it didn't take some of them long to get acquainted. fFor further information see Alice Iean Poole, Ellen Sellick and othersj. Wonder how Mr. Halderman likes playing cards on the train? Guess he knows the scenery to Washington so well he doesn't have to bother looking out a dusty train window. Well, can you imagine that?-Annapolis without any middy close-ups. Iust because of this war, I guess, that they won't allow anyone in there to see those nice fellows. The scenery is pretty, though, but shucks, what an alternative! Oh, look, there's the New Colonial! Why, it's bigger than the Fountain House, isn't it? Iust think, two whole nights in a skyscraperl 12:50 A.M. Friday morning: But listen, Mr. House Dick, we weren't doing a thingl Yes, we'll be good. Slam! Says Dotty Selner, Boy, I heard a lot about those house dicks, but I never knew they came to see you three times iii one night. Guess they heard that Dotty had gingerale, too. Those taxi drivers surely must have taken to the D. H. S. girls. One took five of them to Glen Echo Park and showed them a perfect evening, free of charge. The lucky girls were Mickey Maguire, Midge Iohnson, Elizabeth Duffy, Sonia Slotter, and Aggie Gerhart. Evidently Marvin Wasser needs a few lessons in pronunciation of words. While passing a zoo, he saw a tiger and exclaimed, Oh, look at the .dripped pussy cat! Wonder what Iane Shaffer did with the parrot's feather she got from the Pan American Building. Now, don't get excited. She didn't rob the parrot without official permission. It seems that the poor bird got nervous at the sight of all those intelligent students looking at her and she began to molt. Anyhow, there was a scramble for the beautiful plume, and Iane grabbed before anyone else had a chance. It had often been reported that Roy Levy loved to go swimming, but who would have ever thought that he would try out the Potomac? According to his classmates he didn't really expect to, but when he got started running down 62 5' , ?!n , . K , V the bank, he just couldn't control himself. Plop went Mr. Levy and down to the cleaner's went his coat. Remember, Roy, George Washington is supposed to have thrown that half dollar over the Potomac-not in it. CThese people who are always looking for moneyj. SCENE: Mount Vernon. The photographer is all ready to take the senior Washington picture. What a beautiful background! What a nice focus! What happy, smiling faces! But wait, someone is missing. Oh yes, here she comes- it's little Miss Hobensack, and her beautiful white pique dress is decorated all the way down the front with chocolate soda! Yes, you've guessed it. Kapy had an accident. My, but Washington certainly is an accommodating city , remarked Susan Butler. No sooner had I gotten to Mount Vernon when I distinguished the words Butler's House written on the door of a little building. Think of it, a house made just for mef, Maybe it was just because Dotty Ference isn't used to staying up late and walking all day, but at any rate, every morning she greeted her roommates with, Oh girls, my bones ache, my bones ache, my bones ache, After a long period of sighs and yawns, Dotty managed to arouse herself. You can bet that she was the last one up, though. On the other hand, Doylestown's head drum majorette, Hazel Belli, might be seen up bright and early every morning and just urarin' to go. That poor man guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier! Those seniors just-pestered the life out of him! He tried to say his prayer as he marched up and down, but if he didn't leave out half of the words, he was marvelous. Trying to get him to speak to them Cwhich, incidentally, he is not permitted to doj, the seniors gazed at him with blank expressions, whistled, and called him all kinds of sweet names, but he just wouldn't budge. Bet he has his picture taken more than any man in Washington, though. Why, all of the gals have a snapshot of him. At last, Saturday morning arrived, and brought with it a large group of the grouchiest seniors you ever saw. Why, you simply couldn't speak to them and expect a civil response. Even Leroy Shutt says he felt Crabby all over- that's unusual, you know, for Leroy is hardly ever seen without a beaming smile. Finally, however, they did straighten out. We know they did, because on the way home they sang, sang, and sang some more, told jokes, and just had a jolly good time. So, that evening with light hearts but heavy eyes, the little dears told stories to anxious Mamas and Papas of their adventures in the great city- the nation's capital, Washington, D. C.! 65 HAZEL K.

Although basketball had been in existence before, it was in that year that baseball and football teams were organized and became members of the Bux-Mont Iunior High League, which is smaller in all three major sports than the senior league. The football and baseball leagues have five teams each, while the basketball circuit has six teams. Doylestown Iuniors have done amazingly well in these sports. The football team won the championship in 1959, finished second in '40 and tied for second in '41, while the baseball nine won the championship in both '59 and '41. Mr. Forrest Sowers, coach of the basketball team for the past five years, resigned this term. His place was taken by Mr. William Zahniser. Mr. Sowers had a notable record during his tenure, winning one championship and finishing in the runner-up position twice. This year the team again finished second. The baseball team also has a new coach in Mr. Leland Cramer, senior high science teacher. Mr. Cramer has taken the place of Mr. Charles George. In the junior high school, the girls have two sports in which to participate- hockey and tennis. The hockey team was organized in 1957 under Miss Lillian Kelley, and the tennis team in 1959 with Mrs. Mabel Elliott as sponsor. Mrs. Elliott also is the present hockey coach. The main idea of the junior high sports program is to prepare the boys and girls for senior high competition. By playing in junior high, the participants learn the fundamentals of the game and sportsmanship. 75 OO'I'I5AI.I.fRe'11l' Roux' D. Schlcichcr, C. Bergcv, H. AYxilStCI'S, XV. ClJIlStilI1tillC, E.

S. by Mr. William Zahniser and Mr. Willard Jones, who, in three years of league competition, have produced a championship team and two runner-up positions. In 1959, through the efforts of Mr. Zahniser and Mr. Iones a league was formed which included Doylestown, Sellersville-Perkasie, and Quakertown. That year D. H. S. emerged champions. In 1940, Coach Zahniser's proteges gained runner-up position, after Lansdale had entered the league and won the championship. In 1941, Doylestown was tied for second place with Quakertown, Lansdale again winning the league title. SCHEDULE LEAGUE STANDING D.H.s. oPP. W. L.

For the previous Hve years, Mr. Forrest Sowers was mentor, and under his coaching, a championship and two runner-up positions were won. It speaks well for Mr. Sowers when it is seen that practically his entire junior high teams have become varsity regulars in senior high school. Iayvee games are also played with the regular scheduled games in the same manner as those of senior high school are executed. SCHEDULE LEAGUE STANDING D.H.S. OPP. D.H.S. OPP. W. L.

With Mr. Willard jones, present mentor of the senior high School nine , coaching them, the juniors swept aside seven of their nine op- ponents and won the Hrst Bux-Mont championship. In 1940, with Mr. Charles George at the helm, the team finished in third place with an 500fZ, average. Last year the team won their second championship, losing only one game. SCHEDULE D. J . H. S.

She has done a fine job of making girls sports more outstanding and preparing material for the senior varsity. In the season of 1940 the young hockeyites won all their games but one. This season the team, led by julia Brunner, won all their games with other junior highs and even defeated the second team of Hatboro High School. Coach Elliott stated that she trains three or four squads in a season. Patsy Redfield and Marguerite Carver were the managers this year. SCHEDULE D.I.H.S. OPP. D.I.H.S. OPP.

CHEERLEADERS-For the past four years the junior high cheerleaders, under the leadership of Mrs. Wayne Elliott, have been very enthusiastic and cooperative. At the first practice eighty boys and girls came outg however, only nine were selected. Through the cooperation of these students the morale of the junior high teams has been boosted. Out of the eighty who came out in competition every day at the beginning of practice this year, nine were selected. Even after the final elimination about forty enthusiastic students continued to practice daily. Frank Wodock was appointed head cheerleader. Peggy Smith and julia Brunner were two members back from last year. The other leaders from seventh grade were jean Northing- ton, Rosaline Thompson, Roy Kershaw, lack Connard, jack Shelly, and Robert Hansell. COACHES-Due credit must be given to the junior high coaches. It is their responsibility to train the future athletes of the Doylestown high school, and to teach them the principles of good sportsmanship. This they have successfully done. The junior high hockeyites, since they were first organized, were coached by Mrs. Wayne Elliott. Miss Priscilla Swartley was the assistant coach this year. Coach Forrest S. Sowers has led the Red and Blue through two champion- ships since he organized his basketball squad five years ago. His outstanding policy is to develop the second team along with the first. Mr. William Zahniser, assisted by Mr. Willard jones, has been head junior high football coach for four years. In the season of '59 the team won the champ- ionship. The junior high baseball team won the championship in its first year when coached by Mr. Willard jones. In '59 and '40 Coach Charles George had charge of the team. This year it was coached by Mr. Leland Cramer. 78 ' 110011 ICY---1i'1'111' R0 1.',' AHS. .Walxel 51. Elliott, Coachg P. Fisher-Smith, C. XXvhitCllZlCk, L. Leister E. Snyder, I. Stoops, F. Hill, 51.

For this reason in the junior high school, membership in a club is compulsory rather than optional as it is in the senior high school. The junior high school club program was inaugurated in 1952 when Dr. Carmon Ross, who was at that time the supervising principal, made activity period a part ofthe regular school day. Some of the most successful senior high activities were originally junior high organizations. The Student Council which now exists in both the senior and junior high school was begun by Miss Ada Mae Grifiith as the Board of Advice. Miss Griffith has been instrumental in the expansion and improvement of the junior high club program since it was first begun in 1952. The Student Council is, perhaps, her most outstanding contribution, but by no means is it her only one. As has been previously stated, these clubs have a definite purpose which is gained through the efforts of alert and enthusiastic sponsors. This chapter presents brief stories of these busy and practical organizations. 81 u S'l'U1xICN'l' LTOL'NCll.---1x'm1'Row: R. Good, F. Price, A. Rohr, I. Connural. l'Q'm1l1fmv.' R. Gmlshzlll I.

From this Board of Advice, which was a junior high activity, has sprung the present Student Council of the senior high school as well as that of the junior high school. Every Friday in activity period two representatives from each home room, one boy and one girl, meet to discuss problems that arise in the junior high school concerning such things as conduct, sanitation, and social activities. Each member is then assigned some duty which may be taking charge of the passing of classes or taking charge when the teacher is out of the room, planning some social activity or checking on the heat and light in the classroom. Promoting the Crowell Magazine campaign is another of the functions of the Student Council. George Schum was president 5 Peggy Smith, vice president, and Iane Hellyer secretary, while Miss Griffith, who first organized this activity, is the sponsor. TRAFFIC PATROL-Regulating student traffic at its two street crossings while children are going to and from school in the morning, at noon, and after school is the chief duty of the Doylestown junior High School Safety Patrol whose main purpose is the promotion of safety. Preventing accidents on the playground which might occur through thought- lessness or rough play, assisting in seating and dismissing the weekly assembly, and regulating student traffic on the junior high school stairways are other ways in which the Safety Patrol carries out its safety promotion program. A traffic court, in charge of President George Swartley, is held each Monday in Activity Period at which time any violates of traffic rules are reported and decisions made regarding their punishment. The Keystone Automobile Club cooperates with the faculty advisor, Mr. William Zahniser, in sponsoring this organization. TRI-HI-Y-Strives to create, maintain, and extend through out the school and the community, high standards of Christian living. When it was founded in 1951, each class in the high school had its own Tri- Hi-Y organization. However, since 1959, it has been a junior high club alone. During the past year the members have endeavored to encourage regular church and Sunday School attendance within their circle by a point system whereby each girl's activities are shown on a chart. Headed by their sponsor, Miss Elizabeth F. Myers, vocal instructor, the girls gave a dance in April, contributing the proceeds to the Red Cross. Collecting clothes for poor people in the Philadelphia section and trying to increase their purchases of defense stamps were some of the other ways in which the club tried to live up to its standards. In regard to recreation these junior high girls were no slackers either, for they had an initiation ceremony, a hot dog roast, a Christmas party, a Valentine party, and several other out-door activities. Officers for the year include Beatrice Smith, president, Caroline Brown, vice president 5 Lorraine Houssell, secretary 5 Amy Umstead, corresponding secretary, and treasurer, Verna Myers.

Sitflng: B. Smith, C. Brown, L. Houssell, V. Myers, E. Todd, R. Thompson. 85 STAMP CLUB-This year no one who was not directly interested in some phase of stamps was permitted to enter the Stamp Club. This definite requirement of stamps as a hobby naturally reduced considerably the size as compared to past attendance and membership records. Wynne Iames, the president, proved to be the most eHicient leader the club has had since its inauguration six years ago, according to Mr. Forrest S. Sowers, who is still the sponsor. Wynne donated a book, How to Collect Stamps , to the club. Topics from this are assigned as questions arise, and reports are made at the following meeting. Subscriptions were again taken by the club for three philatelic publications in order to keep in step with the latest development in stamps. Since the club was not obligated to pay for T he Torch cut this year, the money was diverted to this cause. War conditions brought up interesting discussions on the value of foreign stamps. Officers, other than president, include William Corsner, vice president, Marian Bryde, secretary, treasurer, Russell Weaver, and auctioneer, Thawley Hayman, succeeding Clyde Leaver, who left Doylestown during the year. DRAMATIC CLUB-Since its organization in 1952, the purpose of the junior high Dramatic Club has been to give its members some fundamental knowledge of the skills that are required in the producing of a play, by giving each one an opportunity to be both on the stage crew and in the cast of a play. In carrying out this objective the Dramatic Club, with the assistance of Miss Priscilla Swartley, sponsor, this year divided into two teams. A contest was run to determine which group could produce the better play. Both sections had a separate cast, manager, stage crew, and coach, and both produced the same play. A one act play entitled Not Such a Goose was chosen as the subject of the contest. Wanting to do its part for National Defense, the Dramatic Club gave a dance for the U. S. O., netting 37.50 for this cause. Officers of the organization include: Frank Wodock, president, Doris Miller, vice president, Freda Beans, secretary, and Gladys Brown, treasurer. SOCIAL CLUB-The junior high Social Club was organized this year by Mrs. Mabel Elliott in order to give junior high students a chance to learn some funda- mental steps in dancing and to develop social poise. Despite the great number of persons in the organization, it was quite popular, in fact, many people had to be eliminated even when the club was divided into two groups of fifty each with the seventh and eighth graders meeting on Wednesday and the freshmen on Thursday. Meetings were held in the gym where Mrs. Elliott was assisted by Mr. Clyde Klinger and Mr. William Wolfe. During the year the two groups learned the fox trot, the waltz, the Virginia Reel, and square dancing. Being divided into two sections, it was necessary to have two sets of officers. Freshman officers include Sterling Spadea, president, Sam Moore, vice president, Carolynn Cramer, secretary, and Pat Redfield, treasurer, while the seventh and eighth grades elected Peggy Smith, president, lack Newman, vice president, Indy Brunner, secretary, and Ralph Schafenacker, treasurer. These officers, together with the sponsor, make up the executive council which is the governing body of the club. DRAMATIC CLUB-Rear Raw: E. Boi-st, D. Windholtz, D. Schliecher, E. Horn, E.

In line with gaining this objective the organization carries on such activities as spelling bees and various other types of spelling games. Also, the club spon- sored a spelling contest as a junior high auditorium program. Another goal of the Spelling Club is to spell over the radio, however, this year it was not able to do this. In addition to improving the spelling of junior high students, this club also serves to prepare people for membership in the senior high spelling club and team. Being primarily an academic organization, the club sponsors few social affairs, although it did hold a Christmas party. Officers of the Spelling Club include: Iean Northington, president, Audrey West, vice president, and secretary, Virginia Lee Diver. BOYS' VARSITY CLUB'-Until this year the junior high Boys' Varsity Club was sponsored by Mr. Willard jones, who has been the advisor since its organiza- tion. This year Mr. William Lowther, high school basketball coach, was ap- pointed sponsor. In previous years this club has always spent the greater part of the time allotted to clubs in playing the several varsity sports. Since the gymnasium was being used by another club this term, it was not possible to carry on the usual type of program. In place of this the members of the Varsity Club learned the rules of the major sports, including football, basketball, and track. Discussions on the theories of these games were also a part of the club schedule, each sport being taken up in season. Officers: president, Charles Friel, and secretary, Albert Gilbert. HOME ECONOMICS-junior high girls who are interested in homemaking have the opportunity to join the junior high Home Economics Club. This organiza- tion, which is sponsored by Miss Verna Smith, director of the sewing division of the Home Economics department, was first started in 1952. Handicraft of various types was the main feature of the meetings held during the past year. Several were devoted to needlework, including crocheting and embroidering. Another series of meetings was spent in learning how to make vases. The making of jewelry from unusual materials was another club project. Some very attractive pins made of felts and necklaces from cork were the results of this venture. Turning from personal ornamentation to home decoration, the girls occupied themselves with learning how to make silhouette pictures. Mildred Heacock served as president, Rose Marie Schumacher as vice president, Gloria Catardi was the secretary and Doris Greenley was the treasurer. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB-E. Lapp, E. Buckner, E.
