HERMAN, Secretary MABEL SCHATZLEIN BOARD OF EDUCATION Throughout these years you tlave shared many unforgettable ctays. Friend- ships that will stay with you in years to come have been established by ali, and you irave acictect to maturity not only in the classrooms, but also on the athletic tietcts. Keep on learning. Grow strong with the use of your knowledge. Your mind is time master key to the good life. Above ati, uNot what you get, but what you givef, is important. LzXfXg 6 JC,fzf.,wn NORMAN L. FREY, Supervising Principal BS., Muhienherg College Penn State 4 9er'5 To the Class of 1949: Another spring is here, with another graduating ciass. We have had our proioiems together. Some- times we feit that you were not appreciative of our attempts to heip you develop yourseives. How- ever, that smile, those moist eyes as you say good- bye at Commencement time, repay us ampiy for all our efforts, and show us that, after aii, you appre- ciate more than we realized. At this moment you naturaiiy feel very free and elated with accompiishment. That is good, but temper your enthusiasm with the fact that from today on, either in higher education, or in the world of work, whatever you do is tagged in dollars and cents. This iousiness of making ends meet, or economics, is a new element for most of you to reckon with. Consider this seriousiyg use the medium wiseiy, and you will avoid many unpieas- ant situations. What is going to he your yardsticic for success? posterity wiii vaiue your success truly. Are you going to earn a worthy evaluation? N. L. FREY, Supervising Principal. To the Class of 1949: Gone, gone forever is another school year. with its close the memioers of this ciass will receive diplomas. To some of you, this certificate may represent only four years of attendance. To most of you, I trust it wiii mean much more'-'hours of study and anxiety, paper assignments, exams, sat- isfaction gained by display of your taients, enjoy- ing and retaining new friendships, hard-fought games, fun-tilted dances, informal sessions of gos- sip: au these more than repaid your hours of work. Vvhatys next is the question on your iips now. Give serious consideration to the resuits from your guidance interviews, academic and psychological tests, to abilities developed in your extra-curricuiar activities, for these conclusions wiii assist in your decision whether to attend coiiege, learn a trade, stay on the farm, engage in husiness, or follow in the footsteps of your fathers. Garihaidi, the italian patriot, said to his men: Ui do not promise you comfort. I promise you hardship, weariness, suffer- ing: but I do promise you victoryn. May you resolve to carry high the torch of enlightenment so it may ever guide you into the unknown fear- iessiy. You have my hest wishes with great ex- pectancy for your success. HARRY B.

It is designed to give the students valuable experience in sett- government as well as giving tiiem a hand in tile management of the school. The council is composed of one delegate from each home-room and the faculty advisor, Mr. Yoder. Every two years since its organization in 1945 tile council has pub- lished a handbook entitled The Cougafs Tale. This book is meant to be a guide to new students entering the sctiooi. It contains a ilistory of time school, Hoor plans of the building, general regulations, and in addition, contains a complete list of courses offered, songs and ciieers, clubs and activities, and a general description of the school. This is a very important job of the council. Tile Student Council has been doing an excellent join for many years, and we are sure it will continue to do so. 4 9em ScAoo! 4 9era , SERVICE CLUB 1 First Row: Amy Moyer, Elsie Hertzog, Jean Peters, Giorette Fisher.

The Service Ciuh is a suh-division of the Student Council. The Student Council chooses two students from each homeroom, grades nine to twelve. Miss Bernd has been the faculty advisor of the Service Ciuh since its organization and has done an excellent joh. The officers of the ciuh are: President, Joyce Schraderg Vice-President, Marlin Rhoads, and Secretary, June Hoch. This ciuio is one of the most important and helpful organizations in the school. its members are largely responsihie for order and neat appear- ance in the halls during the noon hour. Other than this, the members are willing to act as ushers or guides at various school events. During the lunch hour, one of the officers is always on duty in the school office, where he answers the telephone, directs strangers, and de- livers messages. Meetings are held approximately once a month as Weil as working hand in hand with the Student Council. 12 Jcfizfown K ffmd 4 9e1-4 EMMA FURST President .SQQILLOP gfafnd Offwm JOYCE SCHRADER JAY LEIMBACH Secretary Vice-President KARL NESTER Treasurer I4 Jccfzfown JOAN ALESI Commercial '-1 Jo . . .

The next moment I felt myself iiying through space. Vvhen l came to, I saw a numher of familiar people in white uniforms. These angels of mercy were Carolyn Rohrhach, Dorie Winter, Gloria Sterner, Ianet Boyer, Lorraine Schauer, and Dolores Keiser. Qn our way to the hospital, Gloria happened to mention the date, March 51, 1969. A few minutes ago it had heen 349. Vvhat had happenedl But I had no time for these thoughts: everything was ditferentg the girls looked as young as ever, thanks to a heauty formula discovered hy Mr. Yoder and his protege, William Hausman. Vvhile nosing through the hospital, I came upon an office with Dm fohn E. Boyd, Psychiatristv on the door. His private secretary, Doris Angstadt, let me into his office where I found him working with one of his patients, Glen Wasser, who was telling him that the only time he was crazy was when he paid his hill. Charles Fenstermacher then hurst in with his tive little sons and told us not to forget our class reunion tomorrow, April l. He complained that Paul Yoder had given him and Lee Amdt a ticket for speeding in their Buick helicopter. Sudden- ly a call went through for Dr. David Miller who was wanted in the maternity ward. After l had left the hospital, I headed for Sammy's Restaurant. Sam Stettler and Dolly Gamhier man- aged the place, and their waitresses were Rachel Schoectler, Mae Greenawait, Roxie Keiser, and Betty Danleei. They served me tasty Pennsylvania Dutch dishes prepared hy Fern Moyerg the smiling gentle- man who took my money was none other than Ralph Rohrhach. As I left the restaurant, l noticed the top of a theater shaking. l purchased a ticket from Ioan Alesi and went in. To my surprise I saw Charles Eckert and Mary Lou Odenheimer starring in a new opera, The Vanilla Sailor, written hy Doris Harpel. Gn each high note the theater shook. l congratulated them and spoke to their manager, Denton Fenstermacher, who told me that people were simply mad ahout this opera. That I helievedl when l left the theater, I spied Russel Strunk who was headed lor a repair joh in the country. I hopped into his jet and took a trip through the Berks County farm lands. I met Ieff Thompson, president oi the Berks County Farmers Union, who offered to show me the different farms. I expected to see farmers working in the fields hut instead saw Iohn Sousley, Iohn Mittl, Miles Queman, Stanley Bond, Iacques Sicher, and Steward Stump watching through tele- vision sets their rohots doing the work. I reminded them of the class reunion and returned to my hotel. The spacious Ahe Lincoln hotel was now owned hy pro-haskethall players Donald Buchman and Gor- don Konemann. Nliriam Fenstermateer was in charge of the dining room. The hotel had heen redecorated hy Gladys Merkel, and many fine paintings hy the famous artist, Farrell Reinhard, hung in the lohhy. I looked closely at one of these and recognized Lucite Hoch in as fine shape as ever. They told me that Sam Barto and Ken Boyer were in charge of the Kutztown Recreation Center which now consisted of three gymnasiums, two howling alleys, and a large swimming pool. Archie Follweiler was lecturing on good sportsmanship and Warren Zeigler was teach- ing the girls how to swim. The secretaries were Lucille Stauffer and lean Vveriey. Anna Spohn was the receptionist. Finally the hig day arrived and the '49ers were as noisy as in the old days when the Cougars were the hottest team in the country. Professor Roger Miller, English instructor, and Professor Lester Dun- ieelherger, head of the K. H. S. Agricultural Board, were the first to arrive, followed hy Amy Nioyer, music teacherg Ioyce Schrader, history teacher, and Doris Dreiheihis, girls' coach. Then came Barham Merkel, head of Kloz Memorial Lihrary. Fem Knahh greeted us at the door, and Karl Nester was still col- lecting class dues. tlncidentally, Karl has made enough as treasurer of the loank to retired He lorought his secretary, Dorothy Gontkovsley, and his typist, Betty lane Moyer. Other personnel at the hank in- cluded Meivin Barr, vice-president: Violet Henning, secretaryg and, of course, Clair Oswald, president, who came in his new atomic Cadillac. Clarence Boyer, head of Rohots, inc., came with his assistants, Kenneth Scholl and Paul Srnoyer. Shirley Kercher, Jcifzfown the only woman jockey in the country, was also dis- covered in the front row. Professor Robert Boyer had discovered how to controi the weather: so peopie no longer bothered with top coats and jackets. Fashions had changed drastically. Boys now wore long, wavy hair and were often seen at beauty shops. Present also were merchant marines Dick Giliner, Harold Welder and Kenny Moyer. Representing the inter- national trade were former Air Force aviators Rich- ard Kistler, Ernest Reigei, Arlan Schroeder and Murnii Wisser of the Kutztown Aviation Service. Anna Deisher and Loretta Brintzenhoff were the air- iine hostesses. The pretty class president, Emma Furst, now a famous dress designer from Philadel- phia, brought the meeting to order just as Kermit Frey rushed in screaming, UAm I iate?U Then we imew that everyone was present. The meeting was going fine untii that crazy heat engineer, Luther Moyer, turned it into a steam bath. Allan Bubecie and Lois Edeistein told of their experiences in the Dale Eisenhart Chemical Corporation. After iunch- eon Irene Sayior, famous novelist, reviewed her new novei Men Are All Aiiize white Stewart Kunkel, who icnows every inch of the road to Reno, smiriced in the corner. Famous explorer, Reynoid Wiltrout, spoice on his travels to the moon. After this the Reverend Cari- ton Madeira, assisted by Deaconess Hilda Mech, dis- missed the reunion of the '49ers with a short prayer. After the reunion I accompanied Lucille Youse to the Diane Beauty Shoppe where she worked. There I saw Dolores Weaver, Gloria Fenstermacher, and Cfarizi The ,49ers, one hundred and twenty-five strong, chose as their officers: President, Emma Furstg Vice- president, Jay Leimbachg Secretary, Joyce Schrader: Treasurer, Kari Nester. Money being one of their pressing needs, this enterprising ciass sponsored a food stand at the HaiioWe'en parade as weii as sev- erai baice sales including a pre-Thanksgiving and a pre-Christmas sate. Their sociai life was not negiected. They enjoyed several dances among which were the Christmas dance on December seventeenth, the New Year's Masquerade bail on December thirty-first, and the Valentine dance on February fifth. Rehearsals for the class piay, The Atomic Blonde, directed by Mrs. Angstadt, began in January. The play was presented on March third and fourth. Among the seniors who starred in the operetta, Meet Arizona, in April, were Mary Lou Gdenheimer, Joyce Schrader, and Lee Arndt.

Lucille Die- trich, Betty Youse. and Doris Gackenbach were the secretaries of this huge establishment. While there I saw a television show directed by Richard Lucieen- biil and sponsored by Zervos Florist Shop. Anna Kline was the announcer and she said that Howers from Zervos would be sent to the Miller twins Uean and Ioycej, to Peg Deiiicker, Ioyce Dietrich, Verna Angstadt, Myrtle Fegiey, Leona Reppert, and Lillian Stauffer on their 20th wedding anniversaries. Vvhiie iooicing around Kutztown, I discovered the officers of the Trexler-Herman Transportation Com- pany with Mane Snyder and Ioyce Witwer as secre- taries. I also found a novelty shop operated by Ioyce Landis, Annie Romia, Shirley Rentschter, Dorothy Keim, Violet DeTurie and Pauline Young with win- dows decorated by Ruth Gromis. I soon ran into Fenton Schmoyer, Mariyvn Maurer and Raymond Weiser who tooic me for a ride in their new invention, the sub-airpiane. We iiew over Leim- bachss sanitary piant. The piane worked weii in the air, but on diving into the Kutztown pool, I felt water being splashed in my face. I yeiied, and to my sur- prise I saw Mr. Yoder over me. Everyone was asicing what had happened and Mr. Yoder was saying, uvveii, now, here we arei Canst mind our own busi- ness and have to piay with gunpowderf' So I dis- covered that it was all a dream. But brother, what a nightmare! See you in '69 it hopeji airliriforg hanna Township. Then on March I6 the Cougars journeyed to Lebanon where they ?????? The senior class is proud of its part in these suc- cesses.

The Kutztown seniors who participated were Anna Kline, Irene Sayior, and Joyce Schrader. Under the leadership of president Janet Boyer, a senior, the National Honor Society carried out a project which involved the collection of food and clothing for needy families. As the year drew to a close. the seniors were busy with bake sales, dances, class play, debates, operetta, basketball games, and the Honor Societyys project.

Bookie aids in the control of the hoards, and is weii known for his one hand pushups and iayups. Bookie closed the season as the teamys high scorer with 550 points to his credit. He has always proved to he one of the teamys higgest threats against the opposition. Gordon Konica, Konemann has also heen piay- ing with the varsity a numher of years and is weii known as a clutch piayerf' Konie's specialty is the pivot shot which he uses with deadly accuracy. He started out the last season rather siowiy, hut was riding high in the playoffs. He collected a total of 275 points during the season, which he got when we needed them most. Sam uSammy Barto is a go-getter player, who can shoot equally well with a set shot from 'Sway Jai 5zi.,..f out yonder!! or a one-hander inside. Sam is also well known for his iayups which helped him collect 307 points in the !48-'49 season. He also concentrates on foul shooting.

Hinchn has a setshot and an overhead shot which he uses with deadly accuracy. This and his uncanny foul shooting amounted to 212 points dur- ing the season.
