“Autumn to winter, winter into spring. . . . So rolls the changing year, and so we change.” — Mulock The 1947 MEMORIES Hevrtown Square, Pent Janice Ramsay Editor-tn-Chief Dorothy Earle John Shaw Associate Editors Stella Rlosenski Lillian Ivins Business Managers oreword To all of us, each season brings its own pleasant memories— that first football game, a special val- entine, or, finally, graduation. As the years file by, it is only natural, and most fortunate, that we should gradually forget the unpleasant happenings, and treasure only those that we found congenial and endearing. That IS the purpose of this book— to help us, by means of words and pictures, to hold in memory those experiences we shared during the last au- tumn, winter, and spring that the class of nine- teen forty -seven were privileged to spend to- gether. It is too much to hope that all of us shall ever be together again; but we can console our- selves with the knowledge that in the following pages we are united m a way which the years cannot alter. « The Torty-seven Memories Left to right: First Row: }.

Whenever presented with a problem, you can always be sure of a conclusion that results from careful consideration. We, as a class, feel that it has indeed been an honor to go through this “house of education.” Under his able administra- tion, we have acquired much knowledge and a desire to do things in a democratic way. In grateful recognition of his assistance in guiding us through our years of high school, we, the Class of ’47, dedicate diis year book to our principal, Mr. Jay W. Worrall. dicution 6 « The Forty-seven Memories OL Prl.uinah W. jeiiage To THE Class of 1947: The year may very well be likenetl to a wheel, revolving cease- lessly along the road of time. As each season appears it receives the approval of many individuals and from other individuals come expressions of an entirely different tenor. Winter to a por- tion of humanity is just a time to shiver and complain about the cold. Others see the fact that winter is a time of year that tones up the body and brings a vigorous, healthy counter-action to the enervating influence of the hot summer. Some persons will see in autumn nothing but die symbol of death toward which the dying year is hurrying. Others view the beauty of the brightly colored foliage and feel that now is the best part of the year. The remarkable fact about all of this is that die identical season can be both good and bad at the same time, depending upon the point of view of the spectator. How much happier is the lot of the person who chooses to see the better sid e! If we search diligently enough, nearly everything has its brighter side. Let us learn to look for it and our lives will be filled with a host of happy and satisfying experiences. Your friend. Jay W. Worrall. Marple-Neu ' tou ' u High School � 7 Sck ooi i oard Most of us lend our thoughts towards the school board when we are handed our graduation diplomas, but how many of us rec- ognize the work done by its fine members? For several years, the school board, composed of capable mem- bers, has been a friend to our student body. Its well-organized educational plans have made our school one of which we can well be proud. 8 « The Forty-seven Memories Mr. Zeno H. Baldelli Science Mr. Frederick W.

The most active club in the school, the Tri-Hi-Y, is directed by Miss Yeingst and Miss D’Amelio. Mr. Sanders and his Shop Club are going to put M. N. on the map. The Science Club, under the direction of Mr. Baldelli, is going to put M. N. on the map or take it completely off. Mrs. Kurtz is improving the Junior High voices in her Glee Club. The boys in the Gym Club are glad they are playing games and not doing calisthenics. Mr. Richute is also trying to turn squares into good dancers. Mrs. Clark is passing her knitting ability on to any girl that is interested. All the apple polishers are in Mr. Harvey’s Ping Pong Club. 12 « The Torty-seven Memories Left to Right: First Row: R.

Most of our students are taking part in school activities; namely, the orchestra, basketball, and football. Our biggest accomplishment was our giving six tons of paper to the paper drive for which we won $25. Our seventh year of school has been completed, and we feel very successful. We are now ready to tackle eighth grade with plenty of vigor and the hope that it will be as successful as this one has been. 14 « The Forty-seven Memories Lefr to Right: First Row: A. Sarficnt, I).

This year we welcomed Joan Snyder, Joe Muirhead, Bob Comer, and Ceorge Stone into our class. George later moved away . In the essay contest Joan Snyder took first place while Paul Thompson had to be content with second place. James Ardinger is our representative in Student Council. Peggy Schwalm and Nancy Kay had their pictures in the Sunday Inquirer for participation in plastic work. Some members of our class play in the orchestra, and many of our girls sang in the “Christmas Candle Light Service.” Both boys and girls enjoyed intramural games in many sports during the year.

N. than before. Several of our members have played on the Junior Varsity and Junior High teams of the school. Many others competed in the intramural program and made a good showing for our class. Not only in sports did the F’reshmen shine. The orchestra was made up largely of students from the Class of ' 50. In the first paper drive we showed what we could do, winning by a wide margin. This year when the Senior Dancing Club was too crowded, we went into a huddle and came out with our own club that took care of the overflow. Altogether we had a good year, but next year as Sophomores we hope to con- tinue our activities on even a larger scale. o S ' - N. Dutton, N. Earle, F. Goocl- man, Nolan Hatton, J. Heavens, L.

The Student Council’s full schedule was well carried out because of the de- pendability and willingness of the members. The coaches in season attended the meetings, and the advisers were Mr. Harvey and Mr. Worrall. The Council spon- ■sored two drives — the annual A.A. funds drive and a paper drive. A new subdivision, under the supervision of Mrs. Esther Cook, girls’ athletic coach, has been formed for the purpose of better organization and greater recogni- tion of girls’ sports. The Student Council members are President, Ralph Moyer; Secretary, Janice Ramsay; Treasurer, Nina Butler; Stella Blosenski, John Lutz, Gloria Harvey, James Clark, James Ardinger, Shirley Seely, Mrs. Esther Cook, Mr. Pittman, Mr. Worrall, and Mr. Harvey. 1 8 « The Forty-seven Memories Left to Right: R.

Our system was changed a little this year; instead of changing the moni- tors every two weeks, the monitors, appointed by the Student Council, served the full school year. The job is not an ea.sy one, but it is looked upon by those who serve as an honor to be chosen to the post. Most of the students have been cooperative once they learned what was e.xpected of them.

Staff The Mar-News this year was under the leadership of a new adviser, Miss Laird. It was her first experience in this work, and she certainly did a good job. The Mar-News was not organized as a club this year. The membership was wholly voluntary on the part of the student. Lynn Mason, our Editor, did a fine job, after lots of hard work. You have probably all noticed that the Katty Korner section was back in our paper again this year. Our serial stories also proved interesting to our readers. We earnestly believe our paper has contributed largely to our school life and hope it will be even more of a success in future years. 20 « The Forty-seven Memories Left to Right: B. Fox, ]. Keimc, |.

With their aid, that of our sensational mascot, Patty, some wonderful teams to cheer for, and a “super” cheering section behind us, we pulled through with no trouble at all.

Lor ootLa eam The high school eleven enjoyed a fair season in football. Mr. Richute and Mr. Harvey gave their service as coaches, and they both did a good job. The team won over West Pottsgrove, Upper Chichester, and Springfield, lost to Nether Provi- dence, Sharon Hill, Yeadon, Spring City, and tied North Coventry. The team played well on some occasions and badly on others. M. N. scored on Sharon Hill’s first team and made the score close, but lack of reserves made the game a rout. The lettermen were Guildford, Roberts, Snyder, J. Thomas, W. Thomas, Moyer, Rudolph, Peters, Prichard, Lutz, Goodyear, Knapp, and Nask. The men lost through graduation will be Moyer, Rudolph, Peters, Prichard, Gunther, Thomas, Scheid, Bradley, Goodyear, and Guildford. SCORES M. N. 12 North Coventry 12 M. N. 12 Upper Chichester M.

Halfl)ack and Fullback, 1 mustn’t forget And. oh yes, the manager was there with her fret. There were quite a few to fill each position, And the air was full of keen competition. Choosing the right girls for the team Was hard to do. Now, what I mean Is that there were so many there, I came quite close to having gray hair. At first I had a doubt in mind. As to whether or not in you I ' d find The things which make a real Hockey Team, One which is really “on the beam.” But 1 soon found out that you had the stuff To keep right on when the going got tough. To |)lay together with the zest to win. Being loyal to M. N. through thick and thin. Our practices were quite original. The varied costumes were far from dismal. We very often got started late. Our busy lives- I guess that’s Fatel It was usually hot, cold, or damp. As around the field you did ' pant. The apples supplied from the nearby trees. Most all of us, they did please. We practiced ’til it got so dark. Homeward hound we did start. And then the nets they must come down! Some helped with a smile — a few with a frown. Lynn and O’Malley for the goal did fight: Gerry and Louise kept the ball out of sight, Joyce did well when she was on her feet. To watch Lillian drive is really a treat. Janice too. e.xcept for her sticks And Stella displaying her skillful tricks. Lois finally a goal did make. It went right in. there’s no mistake. Betty and arie shifted around. First right then left, now up now down. Bobby out in the alley would shout, “Two sides to a field without a doubt!” The hall when finally passed her way A real hockey game she did play. Ruth, way over on the other side All of us could watch with pride. Dribbling, passing, and shooting, too. We ' re all exceptionally good, it’s true. Our first game was post])oneil because of rain. The Battle with Radnor ended in a tie Our game with Haverford started our fame The season was quickly flying by, Clifton’s game imt us in a rut Our sjtirits fell, hut we didn’t give up. A victory followed the very next week; Ellis College was the team we did defeat. Springfield caught us unaware; e had the wdll. hut the jtep wasn’t there. The cold weather that day didn’t help. But our droopy drawers were warmly felt. e finally rallied our spirits together To play Nether-Providetice in spite of the weather. We had the will and we had the vim. ■So our last game we did win. But what I ' m here to praise you for Isn’t the victories nor the score. But rather the spirit with which you iilayed Our Hockey Team was really OK.-W.

The Glee Club, under its capable new director, Mrs. Kurtz, accomplished quite a lot this year. At the same time the members enjoyed themselves immensely. The presentation of the Christmas Candlelight Service was enjoyed and appre- ciated by everyone. Also the girls will contribute an important part in the Com- mencement and Baccalaureate exercises. It was not all work and no play; the play was included in swimming and roller skating. Anyway, work and play, the girls have had lots of swell times together and are looking forward to more. 32 « The Forfy-seven Memories I.cft to kig it: I-irst kotr: C. Harvey, |. Shaw, I). Earle. V.

The four qualities which students must have are Character, Scholarship, Leader- ship, and Service. The first requirement that each candidate must meet is a scholastic average of S5. Then the candidates are judged on the other three qualities mentioned above. Five per cent of the Junior class enrollment and fifteen per cent of the Senior Class are eligible for election each year. To date we have had twenty-seven students elected into membership. Marple-Neu’toivH High School � 33 Left to Right: First Row: P. Fox, mgr., F. Capotosta, J. Thomas, R. Snelling, T. Newby, H.

The team was handicapped through- out the season with only one returning regular playing. Eddystone H.S. defeated M.N. in the Kiwanis by the score of 52-40. Bob Goodyear was high scorer for the Varsity while Ed. Feldkircher held the honors for the J.V. Robert Pittman returned to M.N. from the Army to coach the team to ten victories and eight losses. John Shaw and Bob Goodyear will be lost through graduation. Members of the Varsity were Bishop, Luiz, J—TEomas, Snelling, Rambo, Goodyear, Shaw, Nash, Knapp, Ballaron, and Harry Gorman. The J.V. squad consisted of Feldkircher, Young, Goodman, Hatton, Newby, Worrell, Capotosta, Fletcher, Shupard, Roberts, and Snyder. SCORES M. N. 30 West Pottsgrove 22 M. M. N. 24 M. N. A. C. 45 M. M.

Even though a look at this year’s score book might not be very encouraging, you need only to see the girls in action to realize that they are real basketball players. They were up with the sun for early morning practices and could be seen many an evening dragging their weary feet home after practice. Many of the games were close, and it was a fight to the finish for the actual decision, but it was not until the last two games of their eight-game schedule that the girls came through with victories. Lois Troupe, captain of the team, came out on top by scoring 90 points for the Varsity. Bessie Loomis scored a total of 40 points for the Jayvee. We wish to express our thanks to Coach Esther Cook for her patience with the girls and her help in making our basketball season a most enjoyable one and to wish her the best of luck with her future teams.

Comer, J. Standen, B. Nolan, G. Bortle, Coach Richute. Under the able handling of Mr. Richute, the Junior High five forged a victorious court season. Losing only two games out of seven played, gave them an excellent record. After dropping the first two tilts, they came back strongly and captured the remaining five. This record was due to the scoring effort of Arthur Miller, George Bortle, Robert Nolan, Walter Blair, Charles Schneider, Robert Comer, Thomas Fisher, Lloyd Shaver, John Parks, and Teddy Lamb. The high scorer for the season was Arthur Miller. The second team was victorious in all their games except one. They showed victories over West Pottsgrove and Conshohocken. The game results were as follows: M.N. 15 Conshohocken 24 M.N. 24 Conshohocken 20 M.N. 31 Aldan 35 M. N. 32 Aldan 27 M.N. 28 West Pottsgrove 14 M.

For the first time this year we’ve seen the overflowing spirit of the Junior High School girls put into action on the basketball court. Their schedule consisted of only four games which proved to be very interesting from the spectators ' point of view and beneficial in training and experience for next year’s junior varsity team. However, the success of the team can more accurately be measured by asking the girls how much they enjoyed playing on the team.
