LOWER MERION NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE .mg Q' q 4.... but because of rain, it was called off. However, the few stray couples who went any way had a good time. Now we entered our career as juniors. No longer were we humble sophomores. We had been, true, just three short months ago, but now We had advanced a step higher and found ourselves the connecting link between the sophomores and the seniors. This year was, perhaps, one of our fullest. It is with pride that we look back upon our undefeated football team, on which so many of our class representatives played. Even prouder were we of our basketball team which reached the final round in the State Championship eliminations. We ask you-could our school team have reached this point of perfection without the aid of Turner, Pennypacker, Wynn, Rose, and Bradford? No, indeed! They needed them, even as our football team needed our representatives, such as: Turner, Pennypacker, Rose, Bradford, Latta, and others. In girls' athletics we were not so well represented, with only Parvin in hockey, and Baker in basketball. Not alone in athletics were we well represented, but also in scholarship and the school activities. Various of our members were represented on the Merionite Staff, on the debating team, and in the Honor Society. The only shadow which crossed our blithesome career as juniors was the death of r. Penn acker. We had learned to love and respect him in that year and a half that we had known him and his absence was indeed marked. It is useless to try and talk about him here, as it has been done so much better elsewhere. However, the plaque which was erected to his memory reminds us and always will remind us of his helpful presence. It is not altogether necessary to remind us of our last year, crowded with happy memories as it is. Who will forget that powerful football team which went through the season undefeated, to obtain the Suburban Championship? Or who can forget that glorious basketball team which came through with such flying colors? And how about our championship boys' soccer and girls, swimming teams? Then, too, we found success in other fields. The debating team, consisting mostly of seniors, had a most successful season. The annual play contest was added to our list of victories by the excellent acting of Charles Lueders, Ray Wilson, and Catherine Purcell in Finders Keepers. By inviting outsiders to our senior prom, we made both a financial and a happy success of it, even though it had to be postponed once because of the orchestra's tardiness. Q It is unnecessary to mention the other events, both big and small, collective and individual, as these are, of course, cherished in the hearts of those individuals who participated in them. However, this is ust a brief outline of the triumphs and perhaps sorrows of the class of 1931. It is a high record in every way. Scholastically, athletically, and socially, we have reigned supreme. We hope that this record will be imitated, emulated or even bettered by our successors, who have aided us in all our stupendous undertakings. As we leave this school behind us, where we have enjoyed this final year under the class leadership of Jack Rockwell, Susan Abernethy, Louise Cross, and Arthur Finigan, we hand the reins to our worthy juniors, and say to them- Drive on. - Page Twelve
