. 'KH HE Published By The Sennn Class HANIVH Sli HANTVIH JE Presenting A DAY Al M.H.S. We, The Class oT I947, presenT in This Record a Typical day in MerchanTville High School. Here are our adminisTraTors and advisers, our classmaTes and our Teachers, our class and exTra-curricular acTiviTies, our serious momenTs and our merry ones. As we Turn These pages, however, each one of us will call To mind a diTTerenT seT oT memories. Some aT us will behold in The picTure oT The maTh- emaTics class The scene oT our greaTesT scholasTic Triumphs. OThers will recall wiTh pleasure The day ThaT The characTers oT Dickens or Shakespeare leaped To vivid liTe in an English class. The sTudenT wiTh The giTT oT learning languages will linger over The picTures oT French and Spanish classes and perhaps remember wiTh pride ThaT TirsT real conver- saTion in a Toreign Tongue. For somewhere in The book is a class ThaT each oT us will silenTly claim as his TavoriTe. However, iT would be indeed a disappoinT- ing school day ThaT included only classes. As The bell signals The end aT The eighTh period, we rush OTT To our various acTiviTies. Here again our indi- vidual preferences are revealed as Those wiTh dramaTic abiliTy hurry To play Try-ouTs, while our aThleTes pracTice paTienTly wiTh The hope of win- ning The nexT game. From The audiTorium comes The sound oT The band wiTh all iTs glory oT brass and drums. And somewhere, surely, on This Typical day, several sTudenTs are busily explaining To an adviser oT The Record ThaT They musT aTTend a senior cabineT meeTing or a special rehearsal oT The Drum and Bugle Corps. Then, as our senior year draws To a close, we are summoned To school Tor The mosT imporTanT evening acTiviTy oT our high school careers-grad- uaTion. One by one our names are called, as The Class oT T947 receive Their diplomas. YeT as we leave The school, we Take wiTh us Tor always our memories oT a Typical day in MerchanTville High School, noT only in This book, buT in our hearTs. 'Ms .

Willard, principal of Merchanlville High School, because he has been our friend. He has laken lime lo know us as individuals: he has broughl 'ro our problems his genuine inleresl and conslruclive acliong he has demanded our besl in characler and scholarship. Moreover, we deeply appreciale all of Mr. Willard's elforls 'lo fill our school days wilh inleresling and enriching experiences. He has encour- aged bolh leachers and sludenls in a broad program ol exlra-curricular aclivilies. Noi only has he been among The firsl lo oliler assislance when we encounlered diiclicullies in 'rhese aclivilies, buf he has always been quick lo see and lo applaud our successes. On many occasions when our problems seemed in urgenl need ol his allenlion, we have nal hesilaled 'ro coll upon him aller school hours, and we have even invaded 'rhe privacy of his home. We remember wilh gralilude 'rhal he has always found lime 'ro help us. ll is our earnesl wish as members ol lhe Class ol I947 lhal we may conlinue 'ro enioy lhe friendship of Mr. Willard as one of lhe many fine associalions lhal link us 'ro our Alma Maier. AIIMI ISTHMIO The adminisfrafion of 'the school sysiem of Merchanfville is rhe heavy respon- sibiliiy which resis upon Mr. J. Edgar Bishop, our supervising principal. The faculiy and 'rhe sfudenfs of ihe school know him as an inielligenr genlleman who handles fheir problems wifh direcfness, pafience, and humor. They are aware ihaf he pos- sesses +he broad vision necessary fo fhe execurive who musl carefully consider every decision because fha? decision affecrs a large numloer of people. Mr, Edwin A, Willard devoies his endless energy +o +he work of 'fhe high school. He brings 'ro 'rhis Task an enihusiasm and a spiril of cooperafion ihaf in- spire all ihose who work wilh him. Merchanlville is indeed forfunafe in having fhese 'rwo progressive educalors +o guide ifs schools. EDWIN A. B.S.,. M.A.. Unive J. ED AR BISHOP A.B., A.M., Susquehanna Universify Ed.

IT represenTs all The English classes we have ever aTTended. MacbeTh and Shakespeare! WiTh These words we seniors unlock a sTore oT memories ThaT range widely Through English and American liTera- Ture. There are The poems which we sTudied and which some oT us came To love-perhaps The old English and ScoTch ballads, The marvelous melo- dies aT Poe, or The TriumphanT shouT oT WhiTman glorying in American democracy. There are The merry Tales which have poured endlessly Trom The pens oT English wriTers, Trom The gay advenTures oT Sir Gawain and The Green KnighT To Thomas Hardy's Tony KyTes, The Archdeceiver. And There is The magniTicenT march oT American prose as we read iT and Teel iT in The preamble To The ConsTiTuTion oT The UniTed STaTes, The DeclaraTion oT Independence, Lincoln's GeTTysburg Address and his second Inaugural Ad- dress. YeT if we were To choose a TavoriTe auThor, we should probably pass over even The mighTy Shakespeare wiTh his brillianT AnTony, his rollicking Sir Toby Belch, The TearTul wiTches, and The wicked MacbeTh, For iT is Charles Dickens who sTands TirsT among The auThors whom we love. The characTers in A Tale of Two CiTies and David Copperfield seem To come closer To us Than Those oT any oTher auThor. On some days in English class, however, we Turn Trom The reading oT liTergTure To The wriTing oT essays. ATTer our preliminary obiecTion-which we never Tail To voice-ThaT we can'T Think oT anyThing worTh wriTing aloouT, The real sTruggle begins. Pencils are biTTen, and papers are crumpled: dark looks are casT aT The Teachers and hopeTul ones aT The clock: buT, somehow. The essays are wriTTen. On oTher days we ponder over grammar and The sTrange' ways of words in English speech. This is The Time when Those sTudenTs who are clever aT unraveling senTences diagram easily and skillTully aT The board or non- chalanTly poinT ouT gerunds and adverbial nouns. BUT English class draws To a close, and we Tind ThaT we musT leave The grammar, The essays, or The liTeraTure, Tor oTher work awaiTs us. WILLIAM R. FLINN DOROTHY P.

CRESSMAN B.S., Muhlenberg College Our nexf period in flue day finds us in Mr. Pocius's science class. Here, as well as in flue classes of Mrs. Sfreamer and Mr. Cress- man, we are reminded fluaf fluis is flue age of science, an advenfurous and excifing age filled wiflu flue promise of fomorrow wluen flue unbe- lievable may become a realify. However, we soon learn fluaf fluere is more fo flue sfudy of sci- ence fluan flue performance of fascinafing experimenfs and flue dis- covery of excifing facfs abouf flue universe in wluiclu we live. Tlue sfudy of science is nof simply an accumulafion of facfs. lf involves a way of fluinlcing--flue scienfific mefluod. Tluis mefluod includes an obiecfive, impersonal and, above all, an unpreiudiced approaclu fo problems, If includes flue abilify fo formulafe quesfions, fo assemble flue relevanf informafion, and fo devise suifable experimenfs for flue solufion of problems. Finally, if includes flue capacify fo reaclu iusf conclusions, free from super- sfifion and wisluful fluinlcing. From our scienfific sfudies we emerge wiflu a finer appreci- afion of flue miracle of life as we see if in all ifs myriad forms.

Our school is very rich in i'rs wide range of musical sludies. A day in Merchanlville High School finds many sludenls offending glee club rehearsal, orchesfra or band pracrice, and lhe new harmony and lheory class. The dou- ble brass quariel shown in 'rhe piclure is anofher highly valued musical organizalion. Those of us who do nof offend any of lhese classes neverfheless enioy The beaufiful music fhey offer. How much fhe glee club and 'lhe double brass quarrel add lo our Chrislmas play! Whai a fine confribufion lhe or- cheslra makes fo every assembly!

Conversarion, as we lcnow, is a fypical acfivify in fhe language classes of our school. Before we can converse wirh ease in French and Spanish, however, or read wifh appreciafion fhe grear Roman aufhors, we musf spend many an hour in learning fhe devious ways of irregular verbs. We musl sfruggle wifh word order and pronunciarion. A+ lhe end of fhe language road, lo be sure, we find grear rewards.
