Anxious moments! JUNIOR HIGH l CHEERLEADERS Lelt to Right Ester Wertz, Ruth McWilliams Crystal Markham, FACULTY MANAGER This year we had a new faculty manager, Mr. .lohn Murray. H you couldn't find him peering through a microscope in his biology classes, he was probably making sure that the next athletic event would run smoothly. That meant: providing the necessary facilities for the visiting teams, hir- ing all officials, arranging for the printing and selling oi tickets, sending eligibility lists to com- peting schools, reporting all athletic events to news- papers, and arranging for police protection, to name a few of his many activities. Mr, Murray's work started in August before school opened and seemed never to end. Mr. Murray merits the ap- preciation of all the students for making our ath- letic events so enjoyable. 69

IN MEMORIAM MRS. MARTHA 0'NEIL The new year brought grief to the hearts of the students and faculty of Montgomery Area Joint High School with the tragic death of Mrs. Martha 0'Neil. Mrs. 0'Neil meant much to the students and the faculty of our school. She will long be remembered and, though she is no longer with us, her spirit, which was so much a part of our school will remain with us. Mrs. O'Neil joined our faculty in 1955, teaching General and Vocational Home Economics and continued working with us until November, 1963. She was an effective teacher, and every year her stu- dents did very well at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show. Mrs. 0'Neil was an active, friendly person to whom the epithet Good Samaritan could well be applied. She was very much interested in Montgomery, in our school, and in her family. She was extremely active in community affairs. There was a very close relationship between Mrs. O'Neil and the members of the faculty because each Wednesday afternoon at the close of school the faculty met in her room for Coffee Club, which was always more enjoyable because of the tempting and timely refreshments that she and the girls under her supervision in her home economics classes prepared for the faculty. V Thus, it is with deep remorse, yet with everlasting admiration for one so close to use, that the Class of 1964- dedicates this page in memoriam to Mrs. O'Neil. We wish to express our deepest sympathy to her family and friends. In the words of Wordsworth, She was a Phantom of delight, A lovely Apparition, sent to be a moment's ornament: Her eyes as stars of twilight fairg . . . A perfect Woman, nobly planned, And yet a Spirit still, and bright With something of angelic light.
