Qi' fur 3 4 Tlzcmley for the M emories Someday-perhaps years from now-we, the Nine- teen Hundred and Forty-seven graduates, who are eager for a whirl at the world and its adventure existing beyond our school life, will suddenly realize that we owe a debt-a debt to those who have com- prised our faculty. . VVe'll remember a bit of advice or encouragement, a well deserved reprimand, an unmeasurable amount of patience that was given to us ungrudgingly. VVe'll know then what an important part they have played in the molding of rich successful lives, both in a mental and physical sense. For the moment, our minds are so filled with visions of graduation, the leaving of our friends a11d surroundings, that we may forget those who have given us the memories that will be most cherished. Instead of waiting for this far-away realization, we wish to pay our tremendous debt at least in some small way by making known our heartiest thanks and grati- tude today, so they may know not all time and effort will be forgotten, though distance and time may be great. l12l

MR. Dnlscux-,ia Miss NV.-KN Busxnuc Mn. ScuA.xD'1' IT ALL COMES. BACK TO ME NOW T In the fall of 1943, Emmaus High 'School opened its gates to welcome two hundred and two green and inexperienced freshmen. After weathering the trials of initiation we settled down to enjoy our first year of high school life. Our first opportunity to show our musical ability came in February when We presented the ShoWboat hlinstreln with Robert Wieand presiding as inter- locuter. WVe were proud as only freshmen can be, for we had accomplished some- thing. Our year's activities ended with a dance in the gymnasium during the heat of school closing. Wie returned as sophomores eager for the year ahead. The names of our classmates were frequently seen adorning the sports pages. Enthusiastically we supported our athletic teams, attended the dances, and boosted our class. The social functions we held during the year were two dances, at which we all enjoyed ourselves and also swelled the class treasury. Time flew, and before most of us realized it, the term was over. And now we were juniors! School pride had become a part of us. Halloween was the occasion of our first dance, the Goblin's Hopf, Our classmate, Donald lifarkley distinguished himself not only as the winner of our Junior Declamation Contest, but went on to gain laurels for our school by championing over the other school winners at the County Contest. The event of the year for the majority of l14l
