Physical Education Librarian plwrata loistcr The Ephrata Cloister was established about 1732 by John Conrad Beissel, who had fled to America from Germany because of religious intolerance. In his new home Beissel inaugurated an aggressive campaign on the Seventh Day Sabbath Question, which proved quite successful. A granary and several large brick-ovens were built at the site of the present Cloisters. A school was established about 1735 followed by a Sabbath School, the first Sunday School in America, about 1738. The next to the earliest printing set-up in America was also located at the Cloister, printing fifty diierent volumes. Reverend Peter Miller, a graduate of Heidelburg University, became a leader in the solitary life at the cloister. The Berghaus was too small for the growing congregation and Kedar was erected. Bethania or Brother House, Saron or the Sister House, and the Saal, the place of worship, were erected before 1745. Because of the scant use of iron in the construction of the Cloister buildings, the hinges and doors were carved from solid pieces of Wood which today seem as strong as they were two hundred years ago. The Epharata Academy was established about 1837. It was patron- ized by people from Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore. Gossiping was frowned upon and loud laughter was forbidden and thought to be the mark of a fool. About five hundred sick and wounded Revolutionary soldiers, who fought in the battle of Brandywine in 1777, were quartered here for treatment. Several hundred died and were buried in Zion Cemetery. It was a condition of menibership that the inmates of the Cloister should be single, whether male or female. No vow was required except that if they married they had to leave the sect. No wages were paid but all lived on money received from the sale of books and products of nature. The Lovefeast, a ceremony of sociability and hospitality, served to better acquaint the inhabitants of the small Cloister with each other. All their books were printed in high German: De Christian A.

Operet- ass History It was with light hearts that we, the class of 1938, impatiently awaited the opening of the doors of learning that September morn four years ago. As freshmen-104 of us-we swaggered about the school mighty proud of our contribution to the football squad-Leon Weaver and Carl Weid- man, destined to become co-captains. Of' the boys that were initiated into the Hi-Y this year, only the fittest survived. Eagerly we came back the next autumn to find ourselves one step higher on the ladder of learning-sophomores. It was in this year that our class received the twenty dollars award offered by the Ira Martin Grocery Store. In order to properly and legally guard our wealth, we organized, electing Robert Shrom, president, Nelda Keller, vice-presi- dent, Mary Jane Arters, secretaryg and Harry Steffy, treasurer. To bring about the effect of dreamy Hawaii in the 1936 Operetta, Miss Cress- man called for girls to learn how to plunk a ukelele, and boys to be pirates. The sophomores weren't missing in the production Love Pirates of Hawaii. We also responded to Tennis and Volley Ball Tournaments as well as Swimming Meets. h The maiority of us returned the following September as Jolly J uniors. What a busy year! First we decided to elect new class officers: president, Richard Ammon, vice-president, Carl Weidman: secretary, Mary Jane Artersg treasurer, Lorraine Buch. Next we selected our class colors-maroon and gold-and caps and emblems. Our pennant was designed by one of us, Olive Herzer. We started our social season with a Hallowe'en Party, and later held a New Year's Party. Then came the time to prepare for that momentous event, the Junior Prom! Committees were selected, ideas originated and plans got underway. Our prom was intended to suggest the seashore: how disappointed we were 'because the life boat wouldn?t stand! Will anything ever replace our first dance? Finally we, plus a few new members, came back last fall to bear a senior's burdens. Having chosen Earl Demmy as president: Robert Shrom, vice-president: Nelda Keller, secretary: and Romaine Hernley, treasurer, we prepared to take up our duties. We were in a social whirl planning a Hallowe'en Party, and super- vising the high school's first Christmas Dance. Laden with extra-curricu- lar activities, anxious to be present at all football and basketball games, taking care not to miss a rollerskating party, we spent a particularly un- dignified senior year. In Skidding, the first Dramatic Club production, the seniors were well representedg the Mikado boasted a large number of seniors in its cast. Many have seen their last days of fighting for the purple and gold on the high school gridiron and basketball floor. As the school year drew to a close we prepared our Class Day and Commencement activities, soon to leave the familiar cloistered halls of school to go forth into a new assignment--LIFE. 22 Brother House or Cqlgetlianiaw GEORGE ALTHOUSE, Jr. Intramural Basketball '35 '36 '37 '38, Volley Ball '35 '36 '37 '38, Football '37 '38, Hi-Y '36 '37 '38, Rifle Club '36 '37 '38, Swimming '36 '37 '38.

Miss Bard is the adviser, and the club, named The Footlight Club, composed of about seventy students, has weekly meetings of interest to dramatists. It has produced several short plays besides Skidding, a full length comedy, presented to a full house on the evening of March 22. MIXED CHORUS The mixed chorus, organized a number of years ago, has done praise-worthy work. Many of the singers have participated in different musical events: Neffsville Annual Musical Festival, Senior Operetta, Group Singing at the Baccalaureate Service. They have also served to entertain audiences at school Assemblies. Miss Cressman is in charge. HI-Y The Hi-Y Club was organized in 1930 under the guidance of the Y. M. C. A., to introduce the Christian ideal of high morals into local high schools. Various forms of character-building programs are given during the year. Mr. Hammon is the present adviser. GIRLS' CLUB The Girls' Club, composed of fifty members, was organized in.December 1938. The officers are: president, Romaine Hernleyg vice-president, Josephine Rettewg 'sec- retary, Josephine Witwerg and treasurer, Erla Demmy. Miss Mohler is faculty adviser. BOYS' AND GIRLS' RIFLE CLUBS The boys' and girls' rifle teams operate independently of each other-the former directed by Mr. Brubaker, the latter, by Miss McCaa. The girls' organization is ending its first year while the boys' has been operating with success for two years. During the past season the boys' team, composed of the ten best shots in the club, set up the following fine record: ' RIFLE MATCHES First Half Second Half- Ephrata --Mt. Joy-481 Ephrata-491--Mt.

The staff hopes to see the paper entered in contests with other papers of the same type in the near future. JOURNALISM CLUB The Journalism Club was organized during the past year to offer instruction in the arts of newspaper work, to interested senior high school pupils. The members, twenty in number, meet weekly to present programs of a journalistic nature. Throughout the year, they have written many original stories and have contributed much to the school paper and to the school pages of several near-by city newspapers. Mr. Metzler is the club sponsor. THE LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club has a dual purpose: first, to give its members a better knowledge of books, and second, through practical work in the school library, to teach the library methods which are in general use today. The club is open to both girls and boys in the senior high school and meets weekly. Miss Yingst is the sponsor. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club was organized at the beginning of the 1937-1938 term. Miss Shope is the adviser. The purpose of the club is to acquaint the members with outside forms of business, and business connections. The club has presented a few short plays in assembly dealing with office life. Nelda Keller is Chairlady. SCHOOL BAND The school band is a newly-formed musical club, directed by Miss Cressman. Those that give their time and talent to this organization are fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grade pupils. The band has shown a great improvement since it was first organized, and is sure to be a success if the musicians will continue their fine work. THE SHOP CILUB This club was organized to give rural boys a chance to get acquainted with the fundamentals of woodworking and general shop practice, and is open to all boys in the upper four grades. They have completed a flying model airplane propelled by 3 gasoline engine and have made many house-hold pieces. Mr. Fleisch.man is the irector. 44 , , ,,,, N N W r , 2 2 Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct.

EPHRATA HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS TAKE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS The boys and girls of the Ephrata High School ran off with the County Swimming Championship at Franklin and Marshall College on April 2.

VARSITY FOOTBALL With the arrival of crisp autumn weather, talk of football filled the air at 'Frata High. Although not the most successful season in the history of the school, it was one filled with a lot of changes. Coach Derr was aided by Assistant Coach Geyer, a newcomer to the portals of Ephrata High. The Mountaineers opened the season with a bang-up victory over Lebanon High Reserves, defeating the visitors 31 to 0. This game was the scene of the only major mishap of the season when John Gudikunst had his ankle broken while blocking a kick. The following Friday night found our boys going to town under the blazing arcs of the West York gridiron-another new and novel experience. The boys also found plenty of variety in field conditions, from our own grass-covered field, to Shilling- ton's dust bowl and E-town's irrigated gridiron. The highlight of the season was our 53-0 twisting of our Pretzel-town rivals-Lititz. Those seniors who saw their last service for 'Frata at E-town com- prised about fifty per cent of this year's squad. They were: co-captains Weaver and Weidman, veterans of four years: Dick Ammon, Edward Hacker, Bob Shrom, and George Althouse. The above stellar hard-hitting linemen, with Harry Steffy and Red Demmy-backs extraordinary- Manager Wissler and Waterboy Zwally, did their best for their school. tEphrata 31-Lebanon 0 Ephrata 6-Shillington 12 Ephrata 13-West York 12 : Ephrata 6--Red Lion 12 'iEphrata 14-Catholic 22 iEphrata 53-Lititz 0 Ephrata 14-E-town 0 :liHome Games. 51 , 'Q . 55 Tj ie fe Back, L-R-Mgr.
