THE UUALITY UP VIEHIIY I5 NUT STH!-XINEH .xdclminidfrccfion s RALPH R. SMITH Szzperifztemiefzt GOING SOMEWHERE The members of the graduating class of 1947 of the Lansdale High School are to be congratulated on their determination to go somewhere and finally to get there-to become graduates of a regularly approved secondary school of Pennsylvania. So far these young people have had a definite aim or purpose in mind and they have attained their objective. Their parents and teachers are very proud of them and rejoice with them in their great accom- plishment. ! A Where will these fine young people go from here? A few years ago, some of the graduates of American High Schools were saying, P. A., here we come, and in years of more recent date many of them were inducted into a more hazardous endeavor-to fight and even to die for their country. Young people have not had the opportunity in the last fifteen or twenty years to live in a sane and healthy environment. Those of us who have had some small part in helping these young people to reach the time and place of becoming graduates 'of the Lansdale High School are very much concerned about the road which they are to travel in the years ahead. The word progress has been defined by some people as man- kind going by on high, without knowing where or why it is going. Home has come to mean, for too many of us, as a place to go to change clothes to go somewhere else. Society may not be as bad as that. We should still have faith in the youth of America, continue to trust them, and feel convinced that they will live purposeful lives and that they will continue to go somewhere. They will need a great deal of help from somebody if they are ever to orient them- selves properly in the bitter and violent world which has been handed on to r them. 4 , RALPH R.

Not to subdue, to surpassg but to aspire is a worthier desire. Witli the best trained men, the finest implements for social betterment we outclassed all ages for annihilation. There is such a thing as a winning defeat. No wonder that Dr. Buttrick asks: Vifhat would a college faculty answer if they were told: You need a gospel to redeem your ignorance? In the realm of matter things flow downward in obedience to a law of finality, called gravitation. In naturels continuous ascent life flows upward drawn by a law of equal finality, called spiritualization. God asked Moses: Wl1at is that in thine hand?,' A shepherds crook turned into a magic rod as man fulfilled the handiwork of God. The choice for Moses to become a leader, a law-giver, a smiter of the sea and rock, releasing the works of Godg or to remain a shepherd for forty years in the wilderness and sin. In life's real quest true unfolding through ennobling all attain. All that matters is the wit to win. For Gods great plan is the betterment of man. L. S. HOFFMAN, Pmmfwzf Nine HERMAN L. BISHOP Prinripfzl Graduation is a significant occasion in the life of any individual. It is one of the big events of a lifetime. But did it ever occur to you that it is the cul- mination of many little things? It represents the climax of twelve years of going to school, including daily class attendance, the preparation of thousands of lessons and the taking of hundreds of tests. During this time you made many friends and experienced many happy moments as well as some heart- aches and disappointments. We trust you also learned to be kind and courteous, to be even-tempered, considerate, dependable and industrious. Now you are standing on the threshold of a new day looking ahead to new experiences and successes. The realization of your fondest hopes will again depend largely on how you meet the day-to-day little tasks and prob- lems of life. The way you think and act, where you set your affections and place your trust-these will determine your success or failure. Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearlyg To act from honest motives purelyg To love his fellow-men sincerelyg To trust in heaven and God securely. HERMAN L. BISHOP DOROTHY RHOADS Secretary Ten MELVIN F. SHISLER Arfirtfznl Prinrijml Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that defenses for peace must be constructedf' The foregoing statement is a part of the preamble of the Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. If the purposes of this International Organization are realized in bringing about a mutual understanding among the peoples of the world our fear of the use of atomic energy for destructive purposes should be greatly minimized. UNESCO attempts to promote a force greater than the atomic bomb-namely, creative and cooperative good will. Do you have faith that the greater force will prevail? The words from an unknown author which follow have significance to me. If they challenge you, think upon them. nz Have Faith in the future-and what you can do Have Faith in your job and stick to it too! Have Faith in the Country-Your Country and mine, In all of her crises, be in the front line. And too, as you struggle for glory or pelf- Hold tight forever, to Faith in yourself ! So face not the future, with worry and dread- Get busy-get ready-good days are ahead. MELVIN F. SHISLER Capable willing, gracious, pleasant, friendly kind-these are just a few words that describe Dorothy Rhoads, secretary at Senior High. We would not forget to include her among our happy memories of LHS. Eleven Ctaftag E.

Sealed: Marie Davis 'lreas Barbara Cressman, Sec. All good things must come to an end. The time has come for us to apply this saying to Lansdale High School's Class of '47, As we look back over the past three years, we find cherished memories of scholastic and extra-curricular activities. ' It seems like yesterday that we entered Lansdale High School as sophomores. It didn't take us long to become one of the gang. Before we knew it, we Educated Sophs became a definite part of LHS. Our class was organized as follows: President, joe Bower, Vice-President, Samuel Bloom, Secretary, Barbara Cressmang Treasurer, Marie Davis, Adviser, Miss Maribelle Waldo. Miss Waldo-served in that capacity throughout our years in high school. After a glorious summer vacation, we again entered our beloved institution of learning as the Junior Class. That fall of 1945 we really felt at home. We immediately elected our class ofiicers: President, Samuel Bloom, Vice-President, Norman Nelson, Secretary, Barbara Cressman, Treasurer, Marie Davis. Throughout our Junior year we were well represented in sports and other activities. It was a memorable year, climaxed by that all important event in the life of a high schooler-the Junior-Senior Prom, held at the Old York Road Country Club. In the fall of '46 we returned to roam the halls of LHS, carrying with us the title of Dignified Seniors. lt seemed impossible that this would be our busiest, most eventful, and happiest year in high school. But it was a reality, and we knew it was our duty to make our senior year one to be remembered in the annals of LHS. We elected Joe Bower, President, Sam Bloom, Vice-President, Barbara Cressman, Secretary, Marie Davis, Treasurer. For the first time in LHS history, a girl was chosen to fill the position of Student Council president. That young lady was Peggy Scheid. It was also the year our school again began publication of a newspaper, the Huskie Barker. The orchestra and recording dances held on November 23 and March 1 respectively, were huge successes. With the coming of May came our long awaited trip to Washington. Vespers were on june 8, graduation on june 10, and our final function, the Senior Ball, on June 13. And so the story closes. Our years at Lansdale High School are ended. We are now prepared to take our respective places in the world, with the knowledge, understanding, and tolerance that we have gained from twelve years of school life. Eighteen , in GEORGE R.

Wittttli out, Lorraine! fciltlgllt in the nttj .746 unior gfdrid Upon entering LHS in September 1946, the junior Class of one hundred and eighty-one students lost no time getting into the swing of things. Their first step toward this end was to elect Paul Merki, Presidentg Fred Schempp, Vice-Presidentg Connie Moyer, Secretaryg Claire Landes, Treasurer. Mr. George Messick continued as class adviser. A large number of juniors went out for the various sports. The more musically inclined members joined the Band and A Cappella Choirg others joined clubs and the staffs of literary publications. In every way the class gave its loyal support to all school projects and organizations. To add to their treasury, the juniors sold Christmas cards. Contributing to the school's social life, they sponsored two recording dances. They also originated the suc- cessful Junior Miss Dance, held on December 20, at which Molly Genth and her partner reigned supreme. Then came the big event of the year-the Prom, held at the Old York Road Country Club on May 31. Looking back over the two years that the juniors have been at LHS, we find that they have been outstanding in scholastic and extra-curricular activities. We wish them much success in their future role as seniors. Fred Schempp Vice-Pres., Mr. Messick, Adviser, Paul Merki Pres Connie Moyer, Sec., Claire Landis, Treas. Fifi! row-K. Grosse, K. Johnson, C.

THE PLAYZFI Once again, under the capable leadership of Coach Ken Poust and Captain Buck Curley, the Huskies had a successful football campaign. Handicapped by numerous injuries throughout the season, they were unable to retain their share in the Bux-Mont Championship, but captured seven victories in nine games to linish third in the league. Two of their best backs were sidelined by in- juries as Lansdale opened the season under the lights at Jenkintown. With the possession of the Little Brown Jug at stake, the Huskies were forced to go Hall out before downing a stubborn Drake eleven, 6-0. Returning home, the Huskies made Upper Moreland their second victim, drubbing the league's newest member to the tune of 35-6. Night football was inaugurated at Lansdale Clem Polidoro Norm Nelson On fke griahron the following week. Showing that rain and mud could not hamper their ability, the locals played one of their best games to rout the highly rated lads from Quakertown, 31-0. Next came Souder- ton who proved no obstacle as the Huskies scored once in each period for a 26-0 victory. With one of the greatest teams in recent con- ference history the Ambler Trojans journeyed to Lansdale to decide first place. The Trojans, heav- ily favored from the start, were given some anxious moments early in the game, but once their lieet backs broke into the clear they really began to roll, and crushed the Huskies, 27-3. Bouncing back from this defeat, Lansdale invaded Sell-Perk, and after a slow start, whipped the Twintowners, 26-O. Then came the Springfield game. For the first Walt Vilsmeier Bob Keyser Forty-six ' .l Dick Englert Buck Curley time in five years these teams met without pre- viously unbeaten records. It was a hard fought game which gave the Huskies a slight edge in statistics, but the Spartans took advantage of early breaks to emerge victorious, 13-7. Hatboro sup- plied the opposition for Lansdale's final night game. They showed a clever passing attack but were too weak in other departments to prevent being overwhelmed by the Maroon and White, 38-12. On a clear Thanksgiving afternoon, the power- ful Lansdale and Doylestown gridders clashed in the big contest of the season. The pre-game fore- casters said the outcome was a toss-up. In a thrilling, evenly matched game, the Huskies Lou Giuliano Ken Moyer battled their way to a 14-7 victory, and thus won their fourth straight from their number one rivals. Gene Messa, our alert tackle, was selected for the All Bux-Mont first team, while Captain Buck Curley and center Lou Giuliano made second team honors. End Bob Keyser and half-back Clem Polidoro received honorable mention. Curley also received the Russel Bright award as most valuable player, and the splendid improvement of Bob Keyser won for him the most improved player award. Tommy Pavlichko and Frank Malack were elected co-captains for next year. Here's wishing them the best of luck with the 1947 squad. Borrow mu'-J. Waters, Mgr.g L. Giuliano, C. Polidoro, R. Keyser, N.

Forty- seven Captain Helen Detwiler On fAe agiefcl Under the leadership of Captain Helen Detwiler and Coach Doc Waldo, the hockey team brought our third successive Bux-Mont Championship to Lans- dale High School this year. By winning seven league games and losing one to come out on top, the girls proved that the confidence which was shown in them was not unfounded. The seniors who showed their fighting spirit this year were: Helen Det- ' wiler, Laura Ann Cash, Lorraine Zeigler, Ethyl Long, jane Koehlert, Nancy Ellis, Doryce Shatter, Marjorie johnson, and our hard working manager, Arlene Snyder. The juniors who added the extra push were: Mary Cox, Mary Ann Vogel, Betty Maiorano, Dolores Barboni, Peggy Mininger, Patricia Conver, Phyllis Hunsberger, jean Rossell, Pearl Rittenhouse, Molly Genth, and Dorothy Smith, manager. The team was well backed by sophomore members of the squad also. This year's seniors wish Captain-elect Dolores Barhoni and her team loads of luck in next year's season. Fifxfl ww-B.

Forty-nine Jn Me Z?aaLef Although the girls did not bring the basketball trophy to LHS, they retained their position in the limelight of the Bux-Mont League. Under the capable leadership of Coach Doc Waldo they won six games, three of which were league games, and lost five, though only two were losses in the league. Losing their last game with Sell-Perk by only one point made it necessary to have a play-off with Souderton on the Quakertown floor. By coming out on the short end of the score, the girls flnished up in second place in the league. Through the ups and downs of the season, the excellent spirit of the first string seniors was apparent. The girls who will leave us this year are: Captain Ethyl Long, Laura Ann Cash, Helen Detwiler, jane Koehlert, Lorraine Zeigler, Nancy Ellis, and Doryce Shaffer, manager. Helen Detwiler Captain Ethyl Lori jane Koehlert Fifty Laura Ann Cash Nancy Ellis Lorraine Zeigler The seniors were ably supported by the juniors and sophomores who included Mary Cox, Phyllis Hunsberger, Dolores Barboni, Doris Garges, Rosemarie Galizia, Pat Conver, Dorothy Smith, Mary Ann Vogel, Elaine Cunningham, Nancy Clayton, joan jenkinson, Betty Zeigler, Marjorie Koehlert, Shirley Wilson, Joyce Boyles, and managers Betty Maiorano and joan Worman.

Coach Marv Angstadt's return to LHS was marked by a successful season, but as was proven by the number of close games the Huskies dropped, was also one which saw the local players absorb more than their share of hard luck. They racked up 15 wins in 21 games and established a league record of 11 and 5 to place third. With Joe Ruffo and Norm Nelson as co-captains, Lansdale got off to a fine start, winning over Doyles- town, Souderton, and Quakertown. Then an underdog Hatboro quintet hustled to upset them, 33-26. Springfield and Quakertown won close ones-32-29 and 37-35, while Lady Luck deserted the Huskies as they dropped two extra period contests to Jenkintown by the nearly identical scores of 50-49 and 51-49. On the victory side, Doylestown and Souderton bowed again, an earlier defeat by Hatboro was avenged, anc Sell-Perk and Ambler were both beaten twice. The Maroon's outstanding game, however, was a 55-52 win over the defending champ, Springfield. Completing their regular season, the Lansdale lad: entered into PIAA competition. They found their un defeated opponents, Coatesville, a little too tough, how ever, and lost, 50-38, in a game played at Norristown When their third place berth was challenged by Ambler they journeyed to the Trojan's court and drubbed theii rivals, 52-36. Our speedy guard, Joe Rufio, and sharp-shooting forward, Luther Lightcap, were selected for the All Bux Mont first team. jerry Ruffo and Dick Steeley were chosen to captain next year's squad.

Seventy-ive CLPQLUQ Z 0l'l'I, Long have the footsteps echoed Through the halls of Lansdale High, Where still the lamp of knowledge burns As it has in years gone by. We, the Class of '47 Soon will pause to find, That we must leave our high school days And Lansdale High behind. For all of us there's much to lose, And plenty yet to gain, There's work to do if greater heights We someday would attain. The ladder of success is steep, Yet we will never stop, Until the day we take our place, With those who've reached the top. Long may the footsteps echo, And the lamp of knowledge gleam In Lansdale High where hopeful youth Has fashioned many a dream.
