Martin Fetherolf taught in the Lehigh County elementary schools, at Pottstown l-ligh, at Allentown l-ligh, and at Northeast l-ligh in Philadelphia, before coming to our school in September of 1927. ln September of 1930, when the Frankford l-ligh Annex was opened at the Allen Elementary School, he was put in charge, and during the ten years of its existence he managed it well, ln September of 1931 he was made assistant to the principal, and when the position of vice-Principal was created, he was appointed to that post, ln that capacity he has been in charge of guidance for returned veterans, the sale of PTC. tokens, study halls, and the forthcoming evaluation of our school, The evening before he was stricken, he was elected president of the Officials' Club of Philadelphia, the organization of teachers who officiate at all high school athletic events. l-lis hand, often unseen, was felt in many places, The niche that his death left vacant will be hard to fill, Seven

u Quail' . . . lvlr. Joseph lvl. Gottschalk, one of the oldest and most revered members of Frankford's faculty, will retire from his teaching career at the close of this semester, Mr, Gottschalk is a graduate of Central l-ligh School and received his BA. degree at the University of Pennsylvania. ln subsequent years he attended the graduate school of the University of Virginia, and his free summers he spent in extensive travels abroad. Although he taught originally at two elementary schools, Mr. Gottschalk came to Frankford when the school was still an annex of Central High School. Students of the past as well as of the present will always remember Mr. Gottschalk as an inspiring history teacher and an active member of the school faculty. l ,ss MR. JOSEPH GOTTSCHALK The boys and girls of the old Sack and Buskin will always be indebted to Mr. Clarence l-lambleton for the excellent dramatic coaching they received while Mr. Hambleton was the club coach. Neither will the many audiences, over a period of fourteen years, forget the superior production of the twenty-two plays put on by Mr, l-lambleton's dramatic club. Mr. l-lambleton graduated from the old School of Pedagogy in l9C'5, and after earning his AB. degree from Temple University he embarked upon his teaching career, Mr, l-lambleton taught at various Philadelphia Schools: the Navy Yard Apprentice School, the Philadelphia Trade School, and Central High School. In V935 Mr, l-lambletcn arrived at Frankford as a member of the English department, and it is here at Frankford that this grand teacher spent his last sixteen years of teaching. Two clubs which once flourished under Mr. Gottschalk's direction were Ye Spooks and the Clionian Club. Both were at one time an integral part of Frankford's extracurricular activities, To this capable and sincere teacher who gave so much to so many students throughout all the years of his busy career, we say Au Revoir. lt is with sadness that Frankford, students and faculty alike, bids farewell to this distinguished teacher MR. CLARENCE GARWOOD MR. CLARENCE HAMBLETON Mr. Clarence L. Garwood came to Frankford l-ligh School as a member of the school faculty when it was still young. It is with sadness that students and faculty bid him adieu at the close of the school year. Mr. Garwood received his early education at the excellent Williamson Trade School. Before coming to Frankford Mr. Garwaod worked in different industries, did undergraduate work at Temple University, and taught in an elementary school. Mr, Garwood has lang been a member of the Industrial and Fine Arts department at Frankford, and he has, because of his warmth and interest in his students, established a positionnwhich other teachers might find difficult to fill. Mr. Garwaod has also taken active participation in boys' sports, the track team, under his excellent coaching, won the championship. Outside interests also consume much of his time, To Mr. Garwood we say thank you, and add that we shall remember him in the years to come.
