Introducing our very popular class president, Ralph. Buck is a natural leader. If it's class activities or athletics, one will always find Buck at the top. Much credit must be given to Ralph for winning many of our basketball games, be- cause When a basketball game is thrilling the crowd, one will find ,Ralph on the court with iight in his every action. Our Buck has a great personality with the Gals VVe are told that Ralph is es- corting a sweet young maiden who lives at 2lT Xvest Main Street, Wfest End, but his heart is in Texas with Virginia. But athletics and other activities do not dim Ralph's class record. His scholastic attainment is to be envied by all. Buck joined the ranks of our class in sixth grade and has made himself a very active member in all activities since that time. VVell, Buck is going to XYest Point, so all we can say is, If your school work is a criterion for your further training, we know you will make good. loltsihalwgltlzgiltv THELMA BTAUDE ADAMS - 'fl rlonft kzzowe' ffTlzeZm Basketball '34, '35, Basketball Mgr '35 '36 37, Cast of Two Hundred Riders, ' Drums of Death, Booklovers Club Quilting Club, President of Nluslc Club, Do you want a piece of fudge?

Her candy making is not the only cause for admiration. A girl of simpl1c1ty undei standing, and fondness, Thelma ianks high on the list of those liked best by eveiyone Her efficiency has been proven thi oughout the year by her successful management of the Girls' Basketball Team. Not only has she ability to manage, but also unlimited ability to act, which was readily shown ln her roles in both our Junior and Sen oi plav successes. So, with all these qualities even though , she has not decided what she will take up Thelm is sure to Succeed, and we wish hei all the luck in the world.

Introducing to you, the strong man and the super-human fictionwriter of the Senior Class, Turner Lewis Blackman, and please note the Lewis, because Butch would rath- er be called Lewis than anything elseg why, no one knows. Butch is also a track man par excellence. Proof of his prowess is shown in that he was elected Track Captain for the '37 season. His equal in the half mile has not been' seen in many alday. Turner stars in-other things besides track. His unbiased opinion is always sought in Home Room Meetings and very often decides the issue. No one in the class has worked harder in making a success of things than Turner Lewis. It has been said by some that T. L. is worth two ordinary men when it comes to hard work. Girls have not played an important part in T'Ll1'I18l S life, but we notice he goes to VVhite Lake a little more often than neces- sary in business. Turner's ambition is to be a Highway Patrolman: and with his honesty and efficiencyg we know he will succeed in any undertaking.

You can see that her person- ality fairly shines from the picture. And this personality combined with a desire to co-operate with everyone, has won her a host of friends. That host of friends of course includes a great many of the stronger sex. Many a fellow is literally weak in the knees when he asks this young Juliet to dance, and be- lieve us, she can dance. A certain young Ford driver protects her from the run of the crowd, however, so she has nothing to fear. Margie's dramatic ability is also Well ap- preciated by the Senior Class, this apprecia- tion being Well deserved, for she was the heroine in both our Junior and Senior plays. For the future Marge has chosen to be a beautician, but we know that whatever task she undertakes, she will succeed. .Linus lloyuc Mairrix IDEIQGAN 'L-lug, you r-an 'rio if' 'Irrisl1l ' Baseball '34, '35, '36, Capt.

A shout of victory goes up from tne Matamoras section, as Jim comes off the Held, smiling victoriously, and who wouldnlt after just having pitched a no-hit game for the first time in the history of our school. This was Jim's achievement. And so Jim has pitched against and pitched into any task or obstacle set before him in the years we have known him: not g.-udgingly, but with that pleasant smile that is a part of him. On the track, he can truly be called a flash. He can run the 880 or mile with the best and always ends a race with a heartbreak- ing Hnish. . VVhile Jim is a quiet and shy lad, still many a feminine heart beats faster when he gives the famous Deegan whistle: and how they thrill when he lifts his Irish voice in song. XVith his steady nerves, famous smile, and cheery whistle, Jim is sure to succeed in this game called Life 19 A lllDllE5llL1AM7AllliQlll29' ARNOLD .Turns Iiknilxrox QIl'f'1' Il 1'rl ' 'flieeft' Basketball '35, '36, Capt.

Make way for our two hundred pound center and captain of the basketball team- Beef Hamilton, a great singer, actor and athlete, but the best of all, a great guy. His leadership of the team has added many victories to M. H. S., and his ability as a player can be proved by the fact that he led the team in scoring for the year. How- ever, there were remarks that he desired to help a girl manage their team. Beef has also been a leader in our class as well as a leader in the basketball team. His volunteered service to activities have always been welcomed by every member of the class. Beef, though a very busy Senior, can always Hnd time to smile, so'with his jolly personality and ability to accomplish, his success after graduation is assured.

S., and very rightly too. It has been said that Jeans hobby is getting her homework done, and her high marks seem to verify this. As a result, she is accepted most graciously members of the faculty. Eugenia proved her ability as when she so excellently portrayed pioneer woman, Mrs. Sam Tracey, of Two Hundred Riders.

The sweet strains of violin music tells us that Frank is running' his nimble lingers over the strings of his beloved Uliddlef' Proof that Frank is really a very good violinist lies in the fact that for two successive years, he has journeyed to Bloomsburg and has both times placed second in the Forensic League. Like all professors of music, he is quiet and reserved. He never bothers with ins, but we think that down deep in his heart smolders an ember ol' love. LouXy is also an athlete of renown. His equal as first baseman on the Varsity nine has not been found, and as a pole vaulter, he ranks tops Frank is a handy man to have around. ln scholastic- work, he ranks among' the leaders of the class. Not being sure of what Frank is going' to do in later life, we hope he Il:lclles his way to success. x V f ' ' F an Y 'J DoN-u.1m Vlllllflillllllllfl llAl,'l'llY 'xl nf, the lmvlu will ri ' U00 Y . ,V 'i ' Secretary of Class '34, '35, '36 '37 Nlgf- of Basketball'36, '37, Cast of White GIory, Basketball '34, '35, Curio Club, Book Lov- ers' Club, Journalism Club, Nlernber of A.

Always neat and methodical, the minutes still have a certain humor to them because of Don's ready wit. The saying that a busy person can always find time to do a little more holds true with Donald. Not only has he been class secre- tary, worked in Keiter's in his spare time, and done very creditable school work, but he also has done a very fine job of being bas- ketball manager. He knows how much we appreciate all he has done for our class and that he has the best Wishes of every one of us for his future.

Through the years she has been with us, she has co-operated with her utmost ability and has never shirked her duty. Ida isn't very big, but what there is of her is all charming personality, and with this to her advantage, she makes many friends. Don't think that she is one of these goody- goodyu girls however, for Ida has a knack of chewing gum in classes and getting away with it, how, we'd all like to know. Although Ida has not participated in ath- letics, she has always been an interested spectator and never fails to cheer our team on. Recently, often times, she can be seen rid- ing around in the vicinity of Milford in a Plymouth, and she claims she prefers the Armfstrongh of the opposite sex. Ida has proved capable in the commercial Held, and who knows-perhaps she w.ll be a great business woman. But whatever Ida does, we know she will top all of her past - l.

She very se.dom, if ever, comes to class with her lesson unprepared, and no little amount of credit is due her for the success of many of the class undertakings. Also, Marilyn is an actress of no little re- nown. The memory of her superb acting as Ann, in Two Hundred Riders will live on forever in the minds of those who saw the play. And her swell portrayal of Lucy, the spoiled child in Drums of Death, helped to insure the success of the play.

There is one un- failing remedy for the blues everyone seems to have on Monday morning. Yes, the rem- edy is Beatie's infectious smile, for when Beatie smiles, the whole class smiles with her. iVe have been wondering Why our brunette makes so many trips to Newton. Possibly she has relatives there, but we venture to guess that her object is not a relative but a prospective one. Beatrice has signified her intention of fol- lowing in the footsteps of Florence Night- ingale.

Introducing to you that character of many activities, 'tMuscle Man Theodore. Art is an athlete, scholar, actor, and lover all rolled up in one. His athletic ability is proved in that Art is the only three letter man in the class. His last minute shot on the basketball court or his timely hit on the diamond has decided the outcome of many a game. But not only is Art athletically inclined, as a scholar, he is hard to beat. More than once his advice has been sought on import- ant questions. In the past, Muscle has had no time for girls, but a short time ago he was bitten by the love bug, and since then he has been seen making regular trips to Wfest End. But then, Art always did prefer Dots to dashes. 'XVe don't know what Art plans to do, although there is a rumor that he will pace an orchestra as Wizard of the Ivoriesf' In case he does, watch out, Guy Lombardo, B ' 3 l ' i W I N lwii' 2 1 i x .J -L J 'i X ' fPAiiI.'i,Xi1 J'l'l.IA TorssA1N'r No ICiflfIin ' GiggIcs lk x, 'A ' 9 -- ' H 1 x ' I , 4. .

This blush- ing young maiden joined our class in sixth grade and since then has been one of our most ardent workers. Pauline is undoubtedly one of the best character actresses ever to appear on the Matamoras stage. Her acting ability has made many a play a success. No school function would be complete without Julia. Her untiring efforts have given her the two most responsible jobs in the class, Treasurer of the Class, and Edi- tor-in-Chief of the Year Book. YVhile Giggles activities are varied, her outstanding feat is that of student. She has paced the class in scholastics during all the years in High School. Pauline's ambition is to be a school teach- er, and we know she would make a dandy, but we are afraid that a certain young Studebaker driver has stolen her heart away. Here's wishing you luck anyway, Pauline. lIl3llE5lli9Q4k,Nft'7Q4k.llRQllE9 X, . 7, 6 , f 7 Qi LU ,. L- ,- r U , J' 59 JQQWARD Giionom TL7'rH1r.L 'bully' My.

Behold! A Senior that is really dignified confronts you. Science, Chemistry, Biology, and Photography are only a few of Ed's fa- vorite pastimes. There are few people who shine in scholas- tic activities as well as athletics, but Tut is one of the few. His ability as a baseball player was proven in 1936 when he led the nine in batting. Tut has also been a mem- ber of the track team the past three years. His nimble legs have added new laurels to the school. In class activities Tut has played an- other leading role. He is always ready to lend a helping hand, and his value of the dollar has earned him the responsibile posi- tion as Business Manager of the Class Book. After graduation Tut is going to enter the Held of engineering. As he has engi- neered many of our class projects, we are confident that his future success is assured. 7 X 6 Kd l 2' x M XI' U 5 l 5 l 9' 6 7 i X X films ,fm 77.77.11 7.:....7,,, ,,,r 7.7.7 ...mr Il X 1 X ld H B :ll Amlall lm, fwfr.: name?

We are through being taunted and teased and merely being the dirt under the feet of the upper class- men. We are about to became high and haughty Seniors, the uppermost of the upper classmen. In this capacity, we are to become the leaders of the student body, and it is by our splendid examples that the lower classmen are to profit. Although we can not claim the outstanding scholars, some of our students are repeatedly on the honor roll. Surely We cannot overlook the contributions of our class to the athletic teams. Our class rolls contain the names of a host of stars and three captains for next year's teams. Our Junior year has been a great iinancial success. Mr. Krause has proved his ability as a home room teacher and class advisor, and We will take this op- portunity to thank him for guiding us through the most succesful year We have ever enjoyed. In the early part of the year, we raffled off a 'ton of coal, and it was won by Rev. Meyer of Port Jervis. Later in the year we put on a play, Stray Cats. Here again, Mr. Krause proved his ability as a play director. He was ably assisted in this by Mr. William Sadler, from the Milford office of the W.P.A. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the public for the splendid Way in which they have co-operated with us in making our play and raffle suc- cesses. As this year ends, it is our sincere hope that the successes of this year wil continue throughout next year until we have closed our books for the last time and looked out intoran uncertain future. fallflltlllllls M937 ..l X BACK ROVV-Edwin Swartwood, George Gordon, Richard XVheelus, Robert Mager, Her- bert Krause, Robert Finlay, Albert Fontana, Douglas Harrington, Theodore YVillers, Claude Briard, Donald Hamilton.

This is the Sophomore News Reporter bringing to you the highlights of the class accomplishments for the '36-'37 school year. The Class of '39 came marching in the first day of school to find Mr. Clark waiting at the gate. He has been there ever since, and out of the thirty-eight sheep he was obliged to tend at the beginning of the year, thirty-eight still remain in the fold. Their first opportunity came in the form of two Seniors knocking on the door one day. It seems that the Juniors didn't want the concessions, and it was inquired if the Sophomores did. Nobody objected: everybody agreedg so the concessions of the '36-'37 season became the property of the Class of '39, ' A While later the idea of a play reared its head above the litter of minor business. This was something new. As a rule, Sophomores do not produce plays, but this was one class that did. Forever True was a success, both in the way of entertainment and finance. As plays seemed to be popular, the A. A. also decided to try its luck. The Goodtime Jubilee, a merry combination of about everything under the sun, was scheduled to be given. As a reward for selling the most tickets, a banner was to be presented to the class which won. Upon hearing this, the Sophs buzzed around town, canvassed the houses and posted guards on the street corners. Mr. Clark stood behind and pushed them now and then. As a result, they won the banner. It is done in maroon and steel and is well worth the work. Near the close of the basketball season, someone suggested novelties. You probably know the rest. The remaining games were one big noise-clanging bells and exploding balloons-and to top it off, the local Indians were dancing about with red and blue feathers in their hair. But the season has not passed without its tragedy. The iiood disaster of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys left many thousands of people homeless and starving. To aid them, the Sophomore Class gave ten dollars to the Red Cross, by a nearly unanimous vote of the pupils. These 'items, folks, are the highlights of the Sophomore News for this year, and so, until you open the pages of the 1937-38 Delaware, the Junior Class-to-be bids you, Adieu. bieieawaisrg f E l a 2 a l f 5 x l I 2 1 v 4 r P L l 5 Y l K BACK ROVV-Ralph Young, Philip Schumacher, Burton Lilley, Joseph Martin, Frederick Wilkin, Robert Davey, Jack Bullock, Harold Miller, VVm.

To keep things in order, the class elected the following officers: President .......,................,.,..,. ........ J ack Bullock Vice-President . . . . . . Helen Shewchuck Secretary ....................................,.........., Eleanor Allen Treasurer ........... ...............................,.... S hirley Kelder Of course gas was needed to run the car, so pencils were obtained and sold in the villages as we passed through. The miles passed by very quickly in our trailer, and the halfway mark was reached. At this point every one was examinedg the results being very good. It was then time to give our loyal office holders a rest, so the following took office: Jack Bullock, Joseph Martin, Margaret Schroeder, and William McDonald. The class then got together and decided to paint our trailer with the out- standing colors of blue and Steele. It looked like new, so we christened our trailer Plus Ultra meaning fMore Beyondl. We soon met other trailers who were forming basketball teams. Many of our Freshmen tried out for this sport, and a few girls made the Varsity team. One member was left off on the Way, so now our trailer has thirty-nine in- stead of the original forty persons occupying it. It is our hope that when we reach our final destination there will still be thiry-nine to graduate in 1940. efiiisxiaar BACK ROVV-Bernard Benjamin, George Stock, XVilliam Oliver, Carlyle Krause, Clar- ence Haas, Ernest Quick, David Simmons, Kenneth Davey, Stewart Elston, Cornelius Granger, Elias Snyder, XVilliam Vietmeier, Edwin Shader, Robert Bullock.

Eighth Grade Class History On September 3rd, 1936, we began the eighth lap of our race through school. Four more laps and the race will be won. Forty-two contestants entered the race at the beginning of the year under the lead- ership of Miss Brosnan and Mr. Thompson, but now there are but thirty-eight to finish. The group progressed well with their candy sales and assembly programs. In the middle of the lap the class discovered that they could not very well nnish the race without taking mid-year examinations. After the class had successfully won over the tense examinations, they were suddenly notified by the judges that they must take the Eighth Grade County Test before going any further. A few moments later, the judges handed each contestant a card which had on it the letters A, B, C, D, and E, to show their rank in the race. There was only a half mile left, and each contestant hastened his pace in order to get every step of their work finished by the end of the lap. X There was only one task left, the year examinations, all were passed and everyone rejoiced over finishing the eighth year lap. All contestants are prepared for their ninth race next year. 8-A Donald Proctor . Jean Struthers .. Doris Kesting . . . WVilliam Vietmeier -Adapted by Doris Kesting and Juanita Henness.

Basketball Early in November, 1936, the first call for basketball men could be seen on all the bulletin boards throughout the school. In answer to that call came thirty determined youths of M. H. S., with but one object in mind, which was to make the team. After con- stant practice, many achieved their desire. Much credit for the success of the team must go to Coach Thompson who for many weeks labored tirelessly with his material, developing them into a fighting team. Credit must also be extended to Beef Hamilton, captain of the squad and high scorer for the season. His leadership on the fioor was the winning factor in many games. The team with such able leaders to direct them could not help but respond to their instructions. Displaying a brand of fighting spirit and true sportsmanship throughout the games, the Matamoras lads soon won a reputation for themselves and their school. The balconies for the first time in many years echoed and re-echoed with the ringing cheers of howling fans, while on the floor below a lighting Red and Blue team battled for Victory. Throughout the year much enthusiasm was shown at all the games. The Matamoras student body proved to be a great asset to the team. Their splendid support and co-oper- ation with the team shall always be remembered by the players and the coach. Though the team will lose five of its Senior members by graduation, next year's prospects look bright with such stars as Gordon, D. Hamilton, Bond, Finlay, Dilger, Pur- cell, Blackman, Youngs, Clarke, Caliaco, Mager, and Buck Georgi to choose from. Buck , who has proved himself worthy of the honor, has been elected captain of next year's squad. The first game of the season, the Damascus game, was perhaps the most thrilling game ever witnessed on the local court. Three extra periods were needed before our team was declared the winner by two points. The large crowd worked itself into a frenzy, and largly because of this, large crowds enjoyed most of the season's games, er lltlll rg il Qi a Trim? 4 x l . is ,K ui, mf ' fi.

Because there were so many out for basketball, Mr. Thompson maintained two squads. The Junior Varsity performed creditably in a number of games throughout the season, and from their showing, it may be predicted that many of them will be promoted to the varsity ranks next year. To Captain Hamilton, Theodore, Gassman, Loux, and Manager Maltby, go our best wishes and regards. May each one be as successful in life as he has been with basketball.

Girls' Basketball Team YVe take this opportunity to give to the girls' basketball team their just honors and much deserved credit. The Matamoras High School is proud of this team, and they have reason to be for the team has gone through the season with the flying colors of victory. They are known as the team that's hard to beat. VVith the co-operation of all the members on the team, each an excellent player, the team has done what other teams have failed to do in the past. . Shirley Scales, an outstanding forward, along with Drechsler and Taynton as helpers in the forward position, and Evelyn Josd, known as Tiger, and her two companion guards, Shewchuck and Braird, the team has gone places. VVe must not forget the subs, who in the future will soon be another hard team to conquer. This year the subs have aided the varsity team surprisingly well. VVe regret to say that at graduation time the team will lose their capable manager, Thelma Adams, who has served her position for the past two years. but we feel sure that Shirley Kelder, who filled the position of assistant manager this year, will fill the position of manager equally well. Next year, the team will have a new coach. We hope this coach will prove as suc- cessful as Miss Gordon, who with her utmost ability has served the team for the past three years. It is with regret that the girls bid adieu to Miss Gordong but it will be with zest and vigor that the girls will continue the winning streak inspired by her.

BASEBALL Play ball, yells the umpire, and another successful season is started by the Mata- moras High School Baseball Team. Y Six veterans and thirty other men, who have shown up well in actual practice, re- ported the first day. As the season rolled along, the team took shape. Batteries: Deegan and McDonald, Mager and Briard. Frank Loux, the slim Senior, covers first base. Cliff Blackman, an expert bunter, holds down second. Muscle Man Theodore, last year's leading batter, plays third. All balls which manage to stray past the infield will be gathered in by Ed Tuthill, Dick Proctor, and Ray Prey. Harry Youngs does a swell job as the chattering shortstop. The team wishes to express their appreciation to Mr. YVoodley, who has devoted his time toward making this year a successful season. To Jack Clarke, who has managed the team faithfully and efficiently, goes the gratitude of all. And to James Deegan our everlasting thanks. Jim, who has been ace hurler on the Varsity for four years, leaves by way of the graduation route. VVhen, at the end of the '36 season, Deegan was elected captain of this year's team, he took the mound for Matamoras and pitched his third no-hit game against Milford. The games this year were with teams of no mean ability. At the time of this writing, only three games have been played, and it seems practically impossible to get the schedule of the remaining games as a few schools are slow in accepting the challenges. lIDlIE9lIl9AM7AllRQlIE9 l i 1 is j on N . . - if 1 BACK ROLL-Raymond Prey, George Gordon, Edward Tuthill, Frank Loux, Richard Proctor, James Deegan, Raymond Lyons, Mr. YVoodley CCoachJ.

The team has enjoyed a pleasant and successful year under the direction of Mr. XVoodley as Coach. Some of the outstanding men of the year were Capt. Blackman, the brilliant mile and half miler. Bob'T Mager, the only aspirant from the Sophomore Class became a power- ful little man for the mile event. t'Jim Deegan another 880 man has also brought new laurels to M. H. S. Dick Proctor Was considered the best all around man in track and field events. Bob Fowler was a capable manager and discus thrower. Steve Haga- dorn was a most spectacular track man in the 440, 880, and the running broad jump. Frank Loux starred as a pole vaulter for the entire season. Raymond Prey and Jack Bullock were Matamoras' best dash men. Ed Tuthill was our leading man for the 220. Ray Lyons has also starred in the 880. George Gordon gave us results to be remembered in the discus event. Manager Fowler, a very busy man during the season did much to promote the success of a brilliant season in track for our high school. Meets were held with Otisville, Narrowsburg, Milford, Wfalden, Eldred, Port Jervis, Green-Dreher, and Hamburg. - Giltileiieiilaay J ATHLETIC SNAPS '96 HDHEBHLAWVAIIRQIIEQ 2 SENIOR i f,nm1H1H115adi1memfz MENAGERIE J x X '32 nninamwxwgaxmbmo 2 Y as 6 xx mm mmwgy J ae RHELAWARQM9 2- N M' NV NAQPEWSH 'mhz EUEMWQH Npgdm 550352 ,E-ugwtsmm Ewgmmiww 612: GMO 2E6m:Om ,HOUOOHSOW .22 S2203 :ME Mzm ,HSUOQ .5562 dbmgm-no 0MT5UWWFOm V220 mzgm asm no-5 'Ex-Ea :ME Maw DHOQOBMOO Omdpgww X--N:nE0,m , V I V I I ,agzmgg - l .

FRONT ROW-Helen Rusk, Pauline Toussaint, Gene Carpenter, Marjorie Bloom, Marilyn Riggs. DRAMATICS It has seemed in our two years of play production that we have favored tragic plots. Our first attempt in our Junior year was in the form of three one-act plays. Sub- mergedn was a tragedy of the sea, starring all boys. Two Hundred Riders was a story of the old west and also ended tragically. VVhite Glory was a war story, also one of sacrince in the end. WVe chose three plays because we thought they would give more of the members of the class a chance to appear on the stage. The plays, under the direction of VVilliam G. Clark, proved to be very successful. Although we did not have a record breaking crowd, all who were there went away satisfied. This year, remembering how well tragedies were received last year, we again chose a play with an unhappy ending, entitled Drums of Death. Quite a few of our last year's stars again appeared. Success was also due to the helpful appearance of Gene Carpen- ter, who co-operated with us in every way, in the role of the young son in the play. This play was also directed by Mr. Clark, with the assistance of William Sadler. These gentlemen know our feelings of appreciation and in leaving M. H. S. it is our hope that the spirit of success will continue with the productions of these two well quali- Hed directors. Citrine may Clubs as used in our school are an essential part of the well rounded curricu lum of every high school student. The nature of the clubs sponsored is broad in interest. As nearly as possible the faculty sponsors of these organizations keep away from the theoretical viewpoint as emphasized in the class room. The tendency is toward the practical side of life, with a real attempt being made to have each student in the system work at something he enjoys doing for at least one hour each two weeks. g , At the beginning of the school year, the students are allowed to select the clubs to which they desire membership. Each year new clubs are added in favor of those in which the students are losing interest. At the first meeting of the club in the fall, officers are elected and from then on, the success of the club de- pends entirely upon what the faculty sponsors and the students put into the work of the club. This year our clubs have been particularly successful. Much beneficial work has been done in these club periods by the students in forms which they did not recognize as work. The following clubs were organized this year: Journalism, Chess, Booklover's, Camera, Music, Artcraft, Science, and Handicraft. News of the school, both good and bad, was reported throughout the year in the Journal which was sponsored by the Journalism Club. Messrs. Thompson and Clark were the sponsors of the club. Reporters and staff assistants were from the students of the school, 'each of whom did the work of an employee of a larger paper. The Sponsor of the Chess Club is Mr. Heberlig. All of the club periods during the year were devoted to- playing chess, either match games or friendly games. The chess champs are Fontana and Colaiaco. Checkers were also played during this period. Good books are enjoyed by all. One can travel and lead an adventurous life through good literature. The Booklover's Club, sponsored by Miss Seese, who has read several books during the year in club periods, has enjoyed a successful season. Developing future Newtons and Einstiens is the purpose of the Science Club. Many complicated and difficult experiments are carried on by this valuable club under the direction of Mr. Woodley. Music hath charm to soothe the savage beast, and when the girls, under the direction of Miss Speidel, blend their harmonious voices in song, we are all soothed. This Club has been very successful, having put on several performances. The Artcraft Club has been under the able leadership of Miss Brosnan. The members have had many enjoyable times by going on picnics. They have made many pretty and useful articles. Everyone in the club has had an eventful year, and many have hopes of rejoining again next year. Although this Club was just organized this year, it was so well received by the students that it is sure to con- tinue for many years. E Q This year a new club opened up in our school under the sponsorship of Mr. Krause. It took and developed many pictures under the supervision of Mr. George Gordon, noted photographer. The club has brought much interest in photog- raphy. The members of the club have had a very enjoyable season, and we feel that the sponsor, Mr. Krause, deserves a great deal of credit. The Handicraft Club has helped each of its members, throughout the year, by making baskets and other useful articles. This has been the work accomplished by this Club under the sponsorship of Miss Gordon. With this variety of clubs, it is no wonder that each of the students finds some club of particular interest. The activity afforded by these organizations is just another reason why we pause before saying our adieu. X nnnfawaiero N X. i .

ORCHESTRA Introducing to you, the finest musical organization in our school, the Orchestra. Un- der the supervision of Miss Speidel and Mr. Heberlig, the orchestra has gone places this year. Every Tuesday morning we are welcomed in assembly by their thrilling niarches. Little does one realize the work necessary to make the orchestra a success. The mem- bers must be experts with their instruments, they must practice one song until perfect, which takes faithful preparation and they must be able to play at any time. Surely We owe a debt of gratitude to the orchestra. Frank Loux, who has diligently served in the orchestra for six years, leaves because of graduation. The sweet notes of his violin combining with the strains of the otheis will be missed by all. However, the others will be left to carry on the fine work and the school sincerely hopes the orchestra will be bigger and better than ever during the next year. The mem- bers are: Director .. .,............,. Miss Speidel Trumpets .. .. Mr. Heberlig, George Gordon Violins . , .... Frank Loux, Mary WVi1liams Piano . . . ..

XYe hate to leave but forward look To many happy hours ahead The future is an opened book YYith many pages to be read. The dear old school we leave behind XN'herein we learned our A B C's Xvill always linger in the mind Among our treasured memories. YVe're going forth as pioneers Of days long past went, all alone Into a trackless wilderness: Into a life as yet unknown. To blaze a trail across the years To leave a mark on soil untrod XVhich, whether it be large or small, Cannot escape the eye of God. YVe'Ve been classmates tf gether for many a year, Now the time has come to part, But before we go, letls recall each name To impress it on each other's heart. First is a girl with wavy brown hair Thelma, our basketball manager fair, In the Inquirer youlve seen her face and name, VVith the basketball team she helped to fame. The second, of his own volition Decided upon his life's ambition, Turner's going to reach the top And be a motorcycle cop. Marjorie, if given the chance Could show Eleanor Powell how to dance, But all because of a certain guy, She likes to watch the Fords go by. WVho doesn't remember the no-hit game That was pitched in '36, YVhen Matamoras beat the socks Off the Milford hicks? 'Twas Deegan. my lads, who did this deed lVith a master's control and lightning speed, And the first thing we knew, in letters big, VVe'll see, 'Deegan-Star of the Baseball League? Next comes the boy from the Lone Star State A basketball star and a lover great Ralph's going' back to his native land To date the girls by the Rio Grande. At basketball games, who took the picture, Of pep and vitality all in a mixture, Beef was our basketball captain and star At rolling' up points he'll sure go far. Eugenia, it has oft been said XVon't look at trucks unless they're red, If you wonder why, the name is Roy, Her one and only darling boy. falllflllilllllfo lQll3W Frank, is the bachelor of the class, It is said he's snuboed many a lass But when it comes to playing the iddle, Frank's right there with his High-Diddle-Diddle. Class Poem continuedt In a humble drugstore, he made his start, In chemical research, he did his part. This scion of the Maltby line NVi1l evermore in history shine. In the class of '37 there's a certain brunette, YVho never had her picture in the UPink Police Gazette, But Ida doesn't mind as long as she can W'ahoo, On the streets of Milford with her 'fDrugstore Buckaroo. Marilyn is the cute, little flirt, XVho,s often seen with Simpsons clerk, She also has plenty of charm And at stealing t'Dick's heart, She's done no harm. Helen joined our class in '36, From the East Stroudsburg sticks, Many a lad has favored Rusty, But, alas, she still sticks to her husky. Bob Struthers, the Clark Gable of our class, Has danced the night through with many a lass And when it comes to style, he sets a pace VVhich no one has ever dared to race. WVho shall it be Tom, Dick,l' or 'tHarry, That will be the one that Beatie will marry? Dark eyed darling with raven locks, VVho has put many a lad on the rocks. XVho is the Romeo of the class? VVho is it that always finds a new lass? You have guessed it, it is 'tArt, WVho is always playing tag with Cupid's Dart. Tut is the businessman of the class, His heart did throb for some cute little lass, But now that she's given him the air, Tut has gone mad and keeps pulling his hair. I-Iere's one of those students you hear about but seldom set, The kind that Works and meets each task faithfully, Pauline, validictorian, has Worked hard for that name, An honored student, who will rise to fame. A mighty master of oration Bound to rise to some high station, And be a criminal lawyer great, That's the ambition of Edwin Strait. And so I have come to the end of my story, Of a class who gained much through fame and through glory, VVe are leaving behind us, our friends so true. But, alas, it is only proper that we bid you adieu. llDlltElIl9AWVAllRQllE9 PRGPHECY One day while my friend and I were shopping in New York City, we met other friends who talked enthusiastically about a wonderful crystal gazer. Ylfhy she was the most uncanny person they had ever seen. They iinally coaxed my friend and me to go. YVhen we got there, I was ushered in first. VVe sat down in a small dark room. A telev- phone rang and the crystal gazer excused herself. YVhen she left, I gazed at the crystal ball, situated on the table. I decided to look into it, just for the fun of it. For a moment I couldnlt see anything. Suddenly, I seemed to see objects forming before my eyes. I leaned closer and peered into the ball. A figure came into view. VVhy it was Thelma Adams, and she was designing a hat in exclusive surroundings which looked like a Paris Hat Shop. Strangely enough, I never knew she had left the country. The scene shifted, and I saw a gorgeous home. The next instant I saw Marjorie Bloom walking across a large beautiful lawn. I soon saw that she had married and 'was now the wife of a half-owner of the Ford Industry. The scene faded away. In its place, I could make out a baseball diamond. A white obstacle flew into view-a baseball. NVho threw that? I looked closely at the pitcher's plate. There stood James Deegan, one of the best baseball players in his High School days. So he had gotten into the NVorld Series at last. The next scene puzzled me for a moment but not for long. For there on a soap box, in front of a large audience stood Ralph Gassman. It looked as though he were trying to sell something. On closer observation, I saw he was selling his latest book on How to Make Love During the Teen Age. The next scene proved to be the interior of the IVhite Horse Tavern on the Great Milky WVay. There in the orchestra, I recognized two familiar figures, Frank Loux, still playing the violin,and Arthur Theodore, leading the band. Frank had taken on con- siderable weight. Arthur had not changed, though it seemed strange to see him waving a baton. The scene shifted. It took the form of a white operating room. Beside the surgeon, stood a tall, slim nurse. Then I saw that she was quietly and efficiently passing the in- struments to the surgeon. The nurse proved to be none other than Beatrice Snyder. The next view that came to my vision was a store in the business section of a large city. Inside were the modern equipments of a large drug store. I then saw some man waiting on a customer. I looked closer, and who should it be but Donald Maltby, now rx. prosperous druggist. VVhy I remember that he worked in a drug store while in high school. The crystal became blurry again, but it soon cleared up and before my eyes I could see a broad highway. Traveling down it at a terrific rate of speed was a small coupe and right behind it a motorcycle cop. I soon saw that the cop was Turner Blackman. He stopped the car and the driver was none other than Edward Tuthill, now a news- paper reporter, hurrying to take pictures of a horrible accident. The scene shifted to the Pike County Court House at Milford. Before the jury stood Edwin Strait, making a speech. It did not surprise me for I had always thought he would be a lawyer some day. NVho was that he was defending? YVhy, it was Pauline Toussaint suing James Naylor for breach of promise. It seemed so strange for a school teacher to be doing that. The scene faded into view. In its place, I managed to make out a private business oifice. Seated at the desk was Robert Struthers now the proprietor of three large hotels. Close by, I recognized Eugenia Johnson, his private secretary, typing away at her usual rate of speed. Eugenia had always been a speed typist. QIlJllHlllIt5 rear I PaoPHEcY qcomimwd Before my vision again I could see what looked like the studio of a photographer. And who should the photographer be, but Arnold Hamilton. I'd know him any place. But I noticed he was taking pictures of two little children. Beside them stood a tall dark- haired girl. I then saw that it was Helen Rusk, now a governess of these children. Well she had always liked children. The next scene which appeared before my eyes was a cute little tea shop. I could see that it was a very popular place by the number of people inside. I could see then that the person who owned it was Ida Petito, one of my old classmates. Suddenly, the picture faded away and to my great disappointment, it did not re- appear again. It then dawned on me that I had seen the future of all my classmates. The future had been unfolded before my very eyes. The crystal had revealed to me what I, perhaps, might have never known. A momentlater, the crystal gazer entered the room. I don't know whether I had been dreaming or not, but whatever it was, I en- joyed every moment of it tremendously. Prophecy on the Prophet As a friend and I were walking on Fifth Avenue, we passed a fashionable dress salon where a style show was in of the newest gowns and models had a business engagement that sisted and finally we came to an visited the fashion show. Upon progress. My companion was attracted to this display and suggested that we go in. I at first objected as I was too important to miss. My friend, however, in- agreement. I, being a man, could only give way. VVe entering we were escorted to a booth, where we were soon joined by a very beautiful, alluring and prosperous looking young lady-Miss Mari- lyn Riggs. WVhile I was too surprised to talk, I was informed that Marilyn had come to the city, adopted the name Madame Fin and by a stroke of good luck had become the proprietress of the most exclusive dress establishment in New York. Marilyn had ac- quired quite a fortune from the world-famous costumes that she designed for the cur- rently popular movie actresses and as a result was now entertained in the bestsocial circles in New York. VVe stayed discussing our school days for so long that I did miss my business engagement, but I was very happy that I had found that one of my former classmates had made such a success of her life. lIDllE5lll9AW7AlliolIE9 CLASS WILL Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the Board of Education, Principal, Faculty, Students and Friends: On behalf of my client, the Class of 1937 of the Matamoras High School, I have called you together on this solemn and serious occasion to witness her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has so graciously bestowed in her last moments. The Class of '37 in eighteen individual and distinct parts, feel that it is their duty and obligation to leave behind some of their most valuable assets which have been ac- quired during their last years in high school. They, therefore, being of sound mind and of memory tit for disposing, do make and publish this, their last will and testament. To any Freshman who has a Motherly disposition, Helen Rusk leaves her ine set of dolls with instructions when to feed, clothe, and bathe the little ones.

Thelma Adams confers her position as Manager of the Girls' Basketball Team to Shirley Kelder, and to Constance Talmadge a booklet on How to Make Fudge. To Emerson Rigo, Beatrice Snyder grants her seat in Study Hall, so that the faculty may have more opportunities to catch him in the act of chewing gum and whispering. Marjorie Bloom entrusts to Shirley Scales her prize winning essay on How to Kill Your Husband With Your Cooking. To Mary YVilliams, Frank Loux leaves a picture of Rubinoff and his violin so that she may practice more diligently and help Miss Speidel to turn out better Assembly Programs. Arthur Theodore donates to the Seventh Grade Girls a picture of himself, in order that they may long remember his everlasting and true love for them. Eugenia Johnson bequeathes to Irene Miller, Helen Quick, and Edna Purdue, a new edition of her booklet entitled, How to Reduce. Marilyn Riggs leaves to Shirley Lipshitz her novel entitled, How to Entertain and Interest Your Beau in the Evening. Donald Maltby presents to Harry Youngs his position as Manager of the Basketball Team and also his knack of making the teachers smile when in the class room. Ida Petito offers to Thelma Clark a picture of Robert Taylor, in order to prove that the boys in Matamoras aren't so good looking after all. Our T, L. Blackman Cmaker of the Blacky eights, nines, and tens? presents to Bob Purcell his short story on Driving, To George Gordon, Ed Tuthill bequeathes his book on Photography, so that George may be able to develop the Senior snapshots next year. 'fBeef Hamilton offers his seat in Miss Seese's room to Betty Kubler so that her gum-chewing will stop. Our proud president, Ralph Gassman, leaves to Cornelius Granger, his pet bobby-pin and also a. booklet on, The Port Jervis Girls. Singned, Sworn, and Sealed, this fourth day of June, One Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-seven A. D. THE CLASS OF '37 Xvitnessesz Snuffy Smith J ughaid QIFIIHIUIEB T937 HISTORY CF THE CLASS F 93 Graduation time has arrived, and we have reached the goal for which we have so earnestly striven. ly ow we must part from these never-to-be-forgotten halls of fame and go out into the world to seek our fortunes. It was four yeals ago when we entered into these halls of fame and received the name of Freshmen. lt was at this time that we entered upon a new undertaking, NVe had all of the traits of true Freshmen, who spent very much of their time in their studies, and were relieved when vacation time came. This year we looked up to our superiors, the Seniors, and envied them with all of our hearts, thinking how we would feel and act when we became Seniors. At the beginning of the year,we had twenty-six members in our class, but later during the year, to our great disappointment, four members left us, but to make up for part of the loss, one member joined our ranks. During the year, Mr. Keim guided us and did all he possibly could to show us the many things we had to learn and accomplish during years in high school. Although we were only Freshmen and quite new at the game, we displayed our athletic ability on Varsity Teams. At the end of this year, all managed with much hard work to successfully make the next step in our high school career. XVe were now looking forward with much anxiety to the next year when we would be Sophomores. ' Time soon passed, and when the school bell rang the following fall, fourteen mem- bers composed the class roll. During the year, four new members entered our class: Eugenia' Johnson, Irvine DeRe1'ner, Loretta Horton, and George Dennis, making a total of eighteen members in the class. This year we received the names of Scrappy Sopho- mores and occupied the Commercial room. Mr. Bruce faithfully served us as our home room teacher this year. Most of us were accustomed to the type of work that had to be done and decided to settle down and do our studies with the best of our ability. The activity we undertook during this year was the selling of programs at field day. This proved to be a success as did most of the other activities we undertook in high school. Before the year was ended, two members left our class, leaving the total of sixteen mem- bers. This year proved to be a bigger and better year than did the previous one, with many of the members entering the track, basketball, and baseball teams. So we, the i'Scrappy Sophomoresf' were looking forward very eagerly to becoming the so-called t'Dignif1ed Juniors. XVith conddence and determination in our minds, we entered upon the third step of the ladder. At the beginning of the year, three new members entered our class: Elsie Hipsman, Robert Struthers, and Robert Purcell: our class roll thus increased from the membership of eighteen to twenty-one. This year we welcomed into our midst a new teacher, Mr. Thompson, who proved himself capable and faithful to our school. As soon as it was possible, the class was organized and our business began. The first great event of this year was the selecting of a play. After a few weeks of discussion, we decided to present three one-act plays this had not been done for some time in the past. Every- one was excited about presenting our first play because it was our first opportunity to show cur dramatic ability. The date for the play was set for November 22. The plays proved to be very successful. The next event was the ordering of class pins. They were ordered, and we anxiously awaited the arrival of the pins. Many times our class meet- ing had to be stopped, and Miss Seese, our home room teacher for the year, brought out her book on how to conduct a proper business meeting and presented it to the class. But we took it cheerfully, and we were very grateful to her the following year for showing us this book. During this year, we ranked nrst during every six week period of the year, an honor which no other class, I believe, has ever attained. At last we had reached the last step of the ladder, we had received the full responsi- bilitties of Seniors. At this time we welcomed into our school another new teacher, Mr. Vtloodley, who also proved himself an asset to the school. Wlhen our class was organ- ized, our business began, orders were sent out for some candy. Yes, the Seniors were go- ing to sell candy again this year. In a few weeks' time, our thoughts were centered on the preparation of the Harvest Ball, which was the first real event of the year. The plans were made, and the members of the class decorated the auditorium in orange and black. XN'ith the capable direction of Miss Seese, this proved to be a success. Early in November we decided to give a play. Drums of Death, which was directed by Mr. Clark and proved to be a huge success. Much credit for the success of this play most be given to Gene Carpenter, who willingly accepted a part in the play and worked diligently and co-operated with us in every way. Our rings were ordered next, and in December, the Seniors could be seen flashing their rings around. Shortly after this, we started planning of the year book. Our next move was the Senior Prom. After many hours of discussion, we decided to decorate the auditorium in a way entirely different from what other classes had done previously. XVe decided to decorate it in the form of a vineyard and call it The Vine Yard Ballroom. Although everyone had a delightful time, we knew the time was coming nearer and nearer to graduation. Time was passing rapidly, the biggest events were yet to come-Commencement and Graduation. All were busy writing and re- writing their parts for the Class Night and Commencement Exercises and making plans for the future. Four years ago as Freshmen we stepped into the ranks of the High School classes. Then. we thought tonight would never come. In just a few more days, we shall make a larger step. XVe shall step forth into a world where as Freshmen in a newer school ttf life, we shall ponder the destiny of ourselves four years hence. llDllli5llbA'W7AlIliQlIE9 X e Z mile nearer Washington My ffl g,Vf'f.4WM. wamem em.

If anyone has an inkling as to who the said author is, they are hereby warned that they are not to talk or even murmur in their sleep about the matter. This notice is given because the iinances of the Seniors are sadly depleted, and as th-e class is going to XVashington, it is in no state to be sued for libel. The purpose of this page is to bring out old memories and highlights of things that really happened durlng our, the Seniors, last year in school, and is herewith re- spectfully submitted. As Mr. Clark would say, If the shoe fits, wear it. 'tJim Deegan stopped going with Mary Senkiw after the first siX weeks of school and .as a result has been on the honor roll ever since. Turner Blackman was in his prime during the second six weeks of school. Deitz Bond was also in this category, but they have slnce fallen by the wayside as lovers. Their succcssors at this stage of the game seems to be Homer Buchanan and Bob Schafer. About this time June Cole, Nancy Fowler, Betty Vifarner, and Shirley Cutler started rushing two Senior basketball heroes. During the Christmas and New Year's vacation many things happened. Shirley Lip- shitz had a party at which all inebriated were kicked out. Broken noses, broken furni- ture, people lighting with each other and with telephone poles were common scenes that night. The ringleaders were Shirley Lipshitz and that Scales girl aided by the gang. Basketball season was in full swing. Some of the boys insisted on going out after practice, over to the skating rink and other well known places. Thelma Adams gives Le-w Taynton the air and has fallen hard for Beef Hamil- ton. Also at about this time, Harry Youngs gets his driver's license and takes Vivian's V-S all around. It is alleged that Vivian has many smiles for Harry and vice versa. ' George Gordon and Margaret Schroeder are still deeply in love with each other. It is rumored they will be middle-aisling it soon. . Baseball and track are main athletic events at present time. Boys can start breaking training rules any time now. Hank DeRemer is back to M. H. S. and feminine hearts are beating faster, but Hankl' has eyes for Helen Rusk only. We are told the only reason Bob Finlay went with Evelyn Hennel is because she makes good fudge. Pauline Toussaint has a mix up over who is to escort her to the Prom.', Jim Naylor, a city slicker, won out over Doc Maltby, the home town boy. Eugenia Johnson has the most romantic romance of the current year with Roy Snyder, a brawny truck driver. Rumor has it that Bertha Dreschler breaks faith with Roddy Kesting often and will go out with any good looking boy, like Monk Mager, for instance. The gold-dust twins, Gassman and Theodore, are seen booting it over to XVest End every night. The attractions are named Josephine and Dorothy Morris. Love has at last entered Oh Fontana's cold heart. Her name? Olive Corwin. School is about out and the biggest scandal of all is that eighteen rogues have been released from the institution of learning and were caught running away from school, madly clutching their diplomas. It is sincerely hoped that you have enjoyed reading this page and that it may recall incidents that are treasures to you. pieitxwatiiero DAY BY DAY Sept. 8-The Hrst day of school, and a Senior is sent out of assembly.
