That depends entirely on how well we, the people,of different races and nations learn to live together.

VANDLING, B.S., M.A. Science C LASSE S CLHSS HlSllll-TU With knees knocking, teeth chattering, and eyes popping, the super-duper class of 44 was ushered into the sheltering arms of our class sponsors Martz, Headley, and Fox. We were no ordinary class-AT LEAST we had possibilities! An unusual burst of activities sprang from these youthful proteges. I People first began to notice the freshies when five of our girls were elected to the Field Drill corps. Our first attempt to bring ourselves into the social limelight of the school activities was the successful freshman party in March. To add a little ex- citement Ruth, Dottie, Mary Lee, Barbara, and Janet found themselves in Mr. Bell's office threatened with suspension, but all turned out happily when they promised to be good little girls. The study hall, under the iron hand of Fritz Kuhn, was disrupted from its usual serenity by Rock and l-leiss having their daily game of tag. Mr, Entwisle kept his Algebra class entertained with thrilling tales of submarines. ln April a bowling club was formed in which the freshmen attempted to equal the skill of the experienced upperclassmen. As far as athletic events were concerned the freshmen boys exhibited surprising ability winning the interclass track meet. lt was during this year that Agnes Regan, Anne Kessler, Dene Parker, Jim Doheny, Margarita Cunnane, lrene Rankin, and Dick Brinton left us. The sensation of being sophomores was post-poned a month due to a quarantine of lnfantile Paralysis. When school finally opened we made our mark to be remem- bered when we raised a petition for Spanish, and after some deliberation, Miss Kendall was chosen to teach it. Nichols, Fleming, Kelly, Doyle, Biondi, and Regan prepared themselves for a bachelor's life when they joined the Boys' Chef Club. Carlile was mode a charter member of the band fraternity, When war was declared on December Sth, new activities were organized for the war effort such as the Knitting Club and Air Raid Warden's club. A l-li-Jinx was given, each home room taking a part and the school made S525 for the Red Cross. l-lolmes and Fitz were initiated into the Phi Sigma Chi Fraternity, The class of '44's boys won the intramural softball and hardball tournaments that year. Some additions to the class were Agnes Murray, Evelyn Carnahan, and Jack Eby, But we also lost some good friends in Jean Wilson, Bob Grodinsky, Bob Kessler, l-lelen l-lampton, Earl Fender, and Charlie Daut. Another loss came to the class with the death of our classmate, Frank Betz, at the end of the year. Soon after school began in l942, a crowd of happy juniors were seen proudly dis- playing new class rings. Alice and Claire Maurer, Bob Poley, Marjorie Mahoney, and Louise Long joi-ned us then in our exalted position as UPPER CLASSMENI As patriotic as ever, the school was given an afternoon off to collect scrap: i5 tons were gathered and we all went home looking dirty and smeared, but happy. Also in the fall the girls won the intramural hockey tournament. ln December we canvassed for the first time in a War Loan Drive for Pearl l-larbor Day and the school surpassed' their goal by 38,000 On January 29 we gave the Seniors a party and although the snow was a foot deep and the school's fuel supply low, we had over 80 people there. February was an historic month in our lives, most of us got the measles, and food rationing began, ln March we took part in a Red Cross Drive to collect silk stockings Qllll, magazines, and ash trays. Also about then Greg, McAllister, Shis, Don, and Harold formed their Wolf's Club with Row, Row, Row your boat as a theme song and Maroon hats as a sign of their everlasting loyalty to bachelorhood. l-la, hal ln April we presented the unforgettable Junior Prom: our first BIG event. l-larry Light actually drummed for us and we MADE money on the dance!! What a class! Cut, Rock, and l-leiss were initiated into the Phi Sigma Chi. At the end of the year Agnes Murray, Rita Levene, Catherine Gallagher, and Jane Knowles left our ranks, and on July ninth a farewell party was given for l-larold, who had been drafted into the Navy. l-le was the first of our class to go, and it brought the war nearer. A As seniors, and with our new members Carolyn Seymour and Pat Reisgen, we mode the entire school aware of us with our outstanding leaders, Fitz as football captain and star, Cut as basketball captain and alarming scorer, Shisler as our track star and student Council President, Millicent as able drum majorette, Barbara as Eight CLASS OFFICERS Paul Fitzgerald lvice-presidenti, Bob Holmes lpresidentl Mary Tribou lsecreturyl, Ruth McFeefer ltreasurerl head of Cheerleaders, Ruth as captain of the victorious hockey team, Evelyn and Fitz as blue team leaders, and Carlile and Tribou as red team leaders. Money began to be a serious problem, and we clutched at every straw to swell our treasury. At the football games we sold programs and after the games we gave dances. A big item entered on the books was the receipts from the dramatic success, The Littlest Brides- maid which broke all records and packed the house both nights. To Bill Carlile, business manager, goes much of the credit. Again we triumphed with the Senior Rrom, continuing to MAKE money-imagine! Fleming, Poley, and Carlile were ini- tiated into the Phi Sigma Chi Fraternity, Our senior boys were attending Drill every Wednesday night-such discipline as they learned! fDid Eby say something, or was it Andreacola?ll!l Thompson made a name for himself in the library- King Gregory of the Round Table and don't ask why-pleasel About this time peculiar noises were heard during English class and poor Miss Wright wondered if she had kinder- garlteners now. Remember E-l-lAW-Al-ll and the sound of a cork? ln January the juniors gave us a party and it was said to be the best ever given at Jenkintown- even better than the one we gave-can it bel ln February Mr. Martz and Mr. Pauff left, and Louis Armon entered the Army Air Corps. On the twelfth of February we did it again, broke J. l-l. S. records by giving a Turnabout Dance. The girls got the man of their dreams and the seniors got S30 . . . not badl The first week in March, after' a thorough canvassing of the town, we gave a movie benefit at the Fliway Theater. The boys finished their basketball season by winning the Bux-Mont League. l-lowever, they lost the first game in the state playoffs to Radnor, 40-39, after a thrilling battle. The team had five seniors: Owen Reagan, Whitey Fitzgerald, Jack Fleming, Bob l-lolmes and Paul Cutright tCapt.J. Whitey and Paul were elected to the All Bux-Mont teams The vocalists of the class demonstrated their ability in Creatures of Impulse, a superb operatic performance. Nancy Crosson, Millie Fritsch, Bob l-lolmes, Evie Carnahan, Mary Pullar, Mary Lou Eisentrager, and Nancy l-lunter had leading roles. Came spring . . . ahl . . . and with it track and baseball began. ln April the Mothers gave a card party for us, and in May we com- peted in the annual color day contest. Darkly overshadowed as the world is by the clouds of war, an uncertain future looms ahead. Although our ranks are small . . . 53 in number . . . rest assured that the world will know, and have reason to appreciate the achievements of the class Of 44. Nine 1 ' 'P 0' j f ff! ffm .

EW A X fax: gg X sf K , 3 1 X -1 5 Emu-, -u1n-na 'YW vmmw: ULHSSPHUPHECU For a senior trip the class of '44 decided to take a short cruise in Donohue's Deluxe Dream Boat. An unexpected gale blew this valiant craft and its crew onto an unknown island, and we visit them twenty years later in spirit. First person who catches our eye is Bob Shisler, the beachcomber. On seeing his carefree attitude we faint and later are revived by the splash of salty sea water ministered by Bill Fisk, the island life guord. l-le leaves us, however, to plunge into the briny depths. We continue on our way up the winding path and stumble over the prostrate form of Carlile, who has never recovered from the shock of seeing his first and only ship go down. We leave him and find ourselves in a prosperous community. The first sound that reaches our ears is caused by the island chain gang under the able supervision of Barbara Roberts. Turning from this scene of horror we see Paul Cutright selling Biondi-Be-Curlers to the less fortunate. ln competition is Pat Reisgen who is peddling her hair bleach to the up and coming female population who realize that gentlemen prefer blondes. Disgusted by this commercialism we make our way into McFeeter's Pharmacy for a sparkling glass of Regan's Real Relief guaranteed to cure athlete's foot, house maid's knees, and hangovers. Printed on the door nearby in' large letters is L. W. Heiss, Tobacco Expert, Leaving the drug store we notice a poster warning us of a lecture to be given by Dr. J. Paul Fitzgerald and his two able assistants, John Fleming and William Nichols, world renowned scholars. Across the street we see the village street cleaner, Rhoda Fishman laboriously scrubbing the street with her trusty toothbrush. Vlfe fol- low the crowd to the corner where Rev. Poley and his smile awhile missionaries, Mary Tribou, Carolyn Seymour, and Jonet Walton are blending their harmonious voices in Mairzy Doats. Through the crowd wanders Louis McAllister, the sandwich man, advertising Dottie Gillet's All-night Tavern. As we approach the tavern, chaperoned by Mary Lou Eisentrager, we are impressed by the Eby Foundation Library, an imposing structure housing l-leidi and the immortal l-loney Bunch books, Slipping through the tavern door, we swoon to l-lopson's rendition of Sunday, Monday or Always. Assisting him is none other than Bob l-lolmes who administers Twenty-four smelling salts to all the fainting maidens. Lights rise, and taking the center of at- traction are Betsy Ann Conrad and Joe Doyle with their own interpretation of the hula. Third on the docket is the sensational boogie-woogie pounding of Mary Pullar. We stagger out and run into Louise Long who is proclaiming to all in a raucous voice that James Kelly was just elected town crier because of his noted punctuality. We bought a paper and immediately paged through to the funnies to follow the antics of Argue and Carnahan, our two favorite comic characters. Opposite we see a full page spread announcing the opening of Andreacola's LO-WAY Theater. Tonight's attraction is Claire Maurer, that sultry siren, in Only One Night Of Love. We turn the page and glimpse the advertisement of Marget Mahoney's Sweater Shop and Glamour Gowns by Gaby. We turn at a tap on the shoulder by Chief of Police Greg Thompson who stammers, No loitering. Orders from headquarters. l-le marches us down to the court house where we are marshalled by Judge Jarden who releases us and turns to his Christmas edition of Esquire. Unable to find a convenient exit we tumble into the adjoining office and see Nancy Crosson, liason officer, at work with her difficult translations. Another door has inscribed upon it in gold letters-Bernard A. Devlin, Vocation-Postmasterg Avocation-Post Office. ln the dark- ness ofthe hall we bump into Alice Maurer who gives us a leaflet which describes the gruesome effects of gum chewing and points to the nearest exit. We sit down on the nearest curb and our silence is interrupted by the stately voice of Mary Lee Geckler announcing Jeanne Nelson's Quiet l-lour over the loud speaker suspended on a telephone pole. The broadcast is interrupted by a news flash of the Island .Asylum l-lotel. We hurry over and are greeted by the inefficient manager Elva Schaeffer who reveals the hardships of Dick Smith suffering from the twenty year loss of his sisters' companionship. ln the hall mourns this sad specimen with Mill Fritsch nearby to mop up his tears with her luscious locks. Directed by her to the kitchen with its delectable odors, we spy Benson swaying over a sink laden with dirty dishes. Forced to leave by Jim l-lall tooting taps, we stand at attention while Lou Armon makes his complicated astronomical calculations. We steam away in Admiral Gaydon's canoe escorted by Apprentice Seaman Fishman in his P.T. boat. Our last glimpse of the island reveals Alice Ann and Nancy l-lunter carrying on a deadly feud by gently heaving coconuts at each other on the rapidly fading beach.

The Red and Blue during l943-44 did much to keep the student body in touch with alumni in the service by publishing news about them and letters from them. lt helped to keep many ot them in touch with school affairs by mailing to servicemen in all parts of the United States copies ot each issue. lt continued to be exceedingly popular with the student body tor it maintained a fair balance of up-to-the-minute news, feature articles, humor, and student opinion. lt kept the students informed, amused, and on the straight and narrow path through its encouragement ot worthy projects. The statt, with Paul Cutright as editor and Mr. Headley as taculty sponsor, has set a high standard of achievement. With the ditticult job ot bringing better understanding between the students and the administration the J. l-l. S. student council of '43-'44 has done a grand job, Aside from this task, our student representatives have sponsored bond drives, dances, and have en- forced our school's laws. With President Shisler at the reins this group ot energetic students have been an excellent example tor future years. . Sitting: Correll, Cutright, Shisler, Wambold, Holmes.

Those eight were Nancy Crosson and lvlillicent Fritsch, sopranos, Nancy l-lunter and Janet Walton, altos, Robert Holmes and Robert Shisler, tenors, and Louis McAllister and William Fisk, basses. Accompanist was Barbara Roberts, and Carolyn Seymour, a newcomer to Jenkintown was the special soloist. The octet had a very successful season and presented many programs to the neighboring schools and clubs, Fort Dix, and Temple University. Mr. Eckroat's excellent direction made the octet a very outstanding musical organization and every performance was greeted enthusiastically. The house lights dimmed, the curtain rose, and tram that time on, the Senior Play at '44 was a success. The appreciative audience chuckled throughout Maisie's and Jason's scene, and positively SEHIUH PLHH shrieked at each person's attempt to conceal the burglar, All turned out well, however, and The Littlest Bridesmaid stands unparalleled among Senior plays presented at J. l-l.

Roberts, Lewis, Copple, Clark, Ruddle flllllBHll When school started, the football team had already had two weeks of strenuous practice under their new coach, John l-lighfield, The squad was in high gear for their first game with Quakertown, which they won with ease, 3l -O, Traveling to Souderton for their next game, the Drakes suffered defeat by the margin of one point, l3-l4, Again on the home field, the team came back fighting the following week to blank Ambler 20-O, but suffered the loss of Barney Devlin, veteran guard, when he broke his leg, The one point margin returned to haunt the Red and Blue at Sell-Perk on a rainy night under the lights, being defeated 7-8. ln the following game, after a hard battle, the Drake eleven tied Doylestown O-O. Back in form once again the team turned the tables and took l-latboro in a close contest 7-6. After remaining idle the following week the team narrowly missed defeating second place Lansdale, playing their best 48 minutes of the season. The final score of the hard luck game was O-6. In the last contest, the Drakes were swamped by the champion Springfield steelers, and suffered their only stinging defeat of the year by the score of 47-O. The final record was totaled with three wins, four defeats, and one tie. The season was very successful, however, from the standpoint of the team spirit, which was much higher than it had been in recent years. This was due to the tireless coach- ing efforts of Mr. l-lighfield and Mr, Pauff, and the fine leadership of Captain Whitey Fitzgerald Whitey was elected to the All Bux-Mont eleven, and Bill Carlile and Ed Fields made the second team.

Hlllllltll Oct. l-Our Jenkintown Drakettes of '43-'44 won their initial game by defeating l-latboro 2-l. The girls, a squad of forty-four, displayed superior ability, sportsmanship and spirit, which carried them through a very successful season under the expert guidance of their coach, Mrs, D. Oct. 8-The team journeyed to Ambler and staggered home with their first away victory. Nancy Evoy, right inner, continued her scoring streak by gaining the lone tally. Oct. 15-Lower Moreland-another victory cap- tured on the opponent's field by a 4-l margin. Oct. Z2-Abington bowed to the superior Jenkin- town team, 2-l, as rain clouds threatened sure footing. A seriously sprained ankle kept our right inner from playing most of the game Forty but Evelyn Carnahan made up for the loss by scoring her first two goals of the season. Oct. 25-The day was sloppy and so was the playing but our Jenkintown squad came out on top with a l-O victory over Willow Grove. Nov. 5-Against North Wales the team lacked unity but managed to plull through with a 2-l score. Nov. I2-Our girls, with hopes for an undefeated season, took Cheltenham by surprise in the first half of this crucial game by retaining a l-O margin, l-lowever, the tide changed when Cheltenham, coming suddenly to life, was able to score first, the tying goal and then the de- cisive one before the whistle blew, ending a very disappointing game but a never to be forgotten season. f 2 A 3 3 2 Q 7 2 5 E ff a ., ii 4 f E if 2 2 5 K l Sitting J.

Standing: Coach Highfield, Barry, BHSHET Bllll During the i943-44 basketball season, another spirited Red and Blue club took the floor and played a hard, fair game, which is always characteristic of J. l-l, S. teams. The boys, under the leadership of Coach John l-lighfield, again upheld another Jenkintown custom, that of winning the Bux-lvlont League Championship. For the fourth time in six years the Red and Blue ended the season in first place, adding another brilliant chapter to the court squads' history. The complete season's record showed i5 wins against four losses, one of the defeats being the heartbreaking 40-39 loss to Radnor l-ligh School in the district playoffs. l-lowever, besides the team honors there were several individual accomplish- ments which will be remembered for a long time, Foremost among these are the bril- liant scoring records established by the team Captain, Paul Cutright, Paul, one of the greatest players ever to play at J. l-l. S., made 42 points in a game with-Doyles- town and finished the season with 256 points for two new highs in league record- books. This tall Drake, in addition, was the league coaches' choice for Captain of the Bux-Mont league team. Also receiving league recognition were Paul Fitzgerald and Tom Barry. We shall all look back upon . . . The quiet, inspiring ways of Coach Highfield . . . The great men of '-44: Cutright, Fitzgerald, Holmes, Regan, Fleming, Doyle, and Poley . . . Those coming champs: Barry, Farrow, l-luhn, Don l-lolmes, and Carnahan . . . and the flashy, but hopeful Sophs . . . Last, but not least, we offer a prayer for next year's team, to be led by Tommy Barry. Forty-two Y? 3 HE ai is xi 222 QQ S E if' 3 4 11 -1 .
