GACHTIN BAMBIL 2 Senior Class History ln September, IQZ4, 'the Class of '28 entered the Lehighton High School one hundred and twelve strong, incidently the largest Fresh- man group that had, up to that time, been enrolled in our institution of learning. At our first class meeting the Htting motto, No Victory Without Labor, was chosen. Using this as a guide we set out to prove that our superiority was not in numbers alone but in scholastic activities and other phases of school work as well. This was evi- denced by the fact that members of the class played quite important parts in athletics, music, debating, and oratory. However the law of the survival of the fittest greatly depleted our ranks and only seventy-eight members returned as Sophomores Nevertheless we had profited by a year's experience and what was lacking in numbers was doubly supplanted by class and school spirit. The winning of the Freshman-Sophomore football game and the boy's and girl's interclass basket ball championships were the social events enjoyed by the class. When we entered our junior year we found many tasks to be accomplished, the greatest of these being the publication of our Gachtin' Bambil. We at once elected a staff which worked earnestly and conscientiously throughout the entire year to produce this annual of the High School's activities. Another feature of this year was the presentation of Captain Applejackj' our class play. So This is London, a three-act comedy presented by a stock company, and Springtime, a musical comedy, composed entirely of school talent, were the other important projects employed, by the class to make the year book a success hnancially. We demonstrated our ability in athletics by taking first place in the lnte11iClass track meet and by the fact that the class was also well represented on the varsity teams of the other sports. The only regret felt by the class during this period was the passing away of A. Shuler Kreidler, one of its most valued members. . Sixty-four members of the class of '28 returned as Seniors to complete the last lap of their High School course. Never before were we so enthusiastic and ready to accomplish big things. The Three Gracesf' a play with the plot centering about a college football hero, was presented very successfully by members of the class. We again were well represented in all scholastic and extra-curricular activities. We wish at this time to express our sincere appreciation to all our teachers and friends who have worked with us to make our high school course a pleasant and a successful one. We also hope that when a resume' is made of our activities, we may ever stand as a credit to our community and to our Alma Mater. And when the goal for which we have been striving is att'ained, viz., Graduation may the members of f28 go out into life having learned that there is No Victory Without Labor. E. D. E. '28
