Claw of 1933 +411 Bl THE HONOR GROUP HEN a runner emerges victorious at the end of a gruelling race, he is accorded the cheers of the multitude. All raise their voices in glad acclaim, to do honor to the successful competitor. What marvelous muscle control! What endurance! What speed! These and a thousand other utterances attest the admiration evoked by the victor's prowess. But few indeed are they who see with that long vision that views happenings in their true perspective, the long grind of training, the rigid discipline of the track, the temperance, and the self-denial that have resulted in such perfect coordination of mind and muscle. No one stood by the track to cheer him on as, day after day, he trained for the great event g but he was there, unfailingly, giving every ounce of his energy to the rigid requirements of the training. Without the long, long preparation that taxed nerves and sinews and muscles to their utmost, the glorious day of achievement when the world shouted his name to the echoing skies would never have arrived. So it is with our honor students. Through four long years theyhaveaddedtointerest,zealg tozeal,industryg toindustry, ambi- tiong to ambition, initiative g and to initiative, the persistence that knows no discouragement, that welcomes tasks as opportunities, that values culture above ease, duty above desire. They too heard no encouraging shouts during the weary days land nightsb of their gruelling grind. They too pursued their tasks steadily, cheerfully, ably. They gained ever-increasing power to achieveg they sur- mounted ever more and more readily the difficulties that beset their paths. At length they too have emerged victorious amid the plaudits of their fellows. All of us in Moorestown High School delight in giving honor to whom honor is due-our Honor Group, our highest ranking ten per cent: ROBERT SMITH, Finrf Honor ELSIE STEIN, Second Honor BENJAMIN COOPER HOBART GARDNER RUTH RAYMOND WILLARD LAEssLE FRANK ATKINSON MILDRED REPSHER ALBERTA EDGAR EDWIN ROGERS VERNETTE PRICE IOSEPH DELUCA 9' PAGE 11

QA CLASS HISTORY FRED NICOLL, '55 OUR years ago we came to the bottom of this mountain, on the peak of which we are now resting. As I look down, I see the Class of '55 starting its four- year climb. Moorestown High School was first graced with our presence in the fall of 1929. We were large in number and small in knowledge, but we kept close together and started our climb. We met, soon after we entered this school, our guide, Mr. Wible. We elected Iohn Barton to carry our flag to the top. Henry Paulsen was elected his helper, Alberta Edgar, secretary, William Downing, treasurer and Miss Francis, our class adviser. Frank Atkinson received the honor of being freshman Court representative. As the days wore on, the greenness wore off and we began to grasp for every bit of knowledge that would help us reach our goal. In the spring of '50 we saw our cousins, the seniors, reach that same goal for which we were striving. We presented a delightful May Day play in their honor. In the fall of'50 we came back to M. H. S., refreshed by a short rest, to continue our journey. john Barton was again elected to bear our standard. Henry Paulsen was again elected to the second highest honor, Ioseph Clifford, treasurer, Alberta Edgar, secretary, and Ruth Raymond, sophomore Court representative. Mr. Dierolf was chosen our class adviser. The fall of '51 brought us much nearer the summit. Again we elected Iohn Barton to lead us. We elected Atwood Moore, vice-president, William Downing, secretary, Ernest Schlegel, treasurer, Benjamin Cooper, junior Court representa- tive, Miss Chadwick, our adviser. Our ranks were strengthened by new students, Frank Weber, Sarah Whittle, Roland Everham, and Paul Nunn. As a Christmas offering our class presented the Iunior Play, Honor Bright, coached by Miss Foster. In the spring of '52 we gave our brothers, the seniors, a delightful reception com- memorating their success and bidding them farewell. In the fall of '52 we experienced a new sensation: we were seniors. Une last effort and our goal would be reached. For the fourth consecutive year we elected Iohn Barton as our chief. Henry Paulsen was elected vice-president, William Down- ing, secretary, Ernest Schlegel, treasurer, james Burke, senior Court representative, and Miss Chadwick, adviser. Now joining us were Bill Mathias, Margaret Fegley, and Charles Murza. Clam of 1935 PAGE 15
