The cred' ' tvnryieacnersfmy parents and Dame Fortune. To my teachers goes greatly deserved credit for their guidance and instruc- tion in the past ten years. Without their patience, their conscientiousness, and the knowlege imparted to me by them, my hopes of a career would be futile. My parents merit all I can do for them in future years for the entirely sat- isfactory manner in which they have reared and educated me. Their wisdom and understanding have helped me to no end. It is through fortune that I have been lucky enough to be able to attend the school I do, where I have had many and look forward to more pleasant ex- periences. This school is giving me my opportunities for development of art and dramatic expression together with a knowledge of the classics, sciences and languages. It is my great fortune that I have these teachers, parents, my home, and my health, and that in my studies no ill luck has so far crossed my path. And so all these have worked toward the happiness which I shall feel when I have been graduated. Another important part of their work will have been finished and I trust the result will be satisfactory to them. IEAN PENMAN rlifZfr1fiv.C

I9-37 ,ljfifflf Soplmom ore History In September of 1935 a group of 127 Freshmen began the struggle of find- ing a way around the halls and rooms of Township High. For the first few weeks a spirit of shyness and timidity prevailed, especially when we were in the presence of upperclassmen, but when we became better acquainted with the schedule and the teachers we were too busy to develop anything but Hgray matter. Before we knew it, we were preparing for our Hallowe'en party. The gym was decorated with corn stalks, skeletons and pumpkins: we bought ice cream, pretzels, peanuts, and sodas but saddest of sad, it was a flop-fa very complete flop. But we found consolation in the fact that Freshman parties usually aren't a success. As Sophomores the class was divided into four homogeneous groups and as a result almost automatically there were factions. The class intelligently elected lean Penman as president. Donald Betz as secretary and Robert Duppy as treasurer efficiently performed their duties. while the home room teachers were our sponsors, Des ite the fact that the So homores did not lan an social activit as a P P P Y Y group, the upperclassmen furnished entertainments galore and no gathering was complete without us. We were very proud of our representatives on the football squad. Nothing will ever surprise the thrill of our having two indispensible Lettermen, Tim Washko and Michael Matsko, show their colors for our Alma Mater, and 'LOssie Schreffler, lack Sebastian, Robert Hollister, Fred Reilly, Len DeCon- cini. Len Guarna promised to provide thrills for the 1937-1938 season. Iohn Shafran, William Boyle, Robert O'Brien, Robert Duppy, Ed Langton, showed excellent teamwork on the basketball floor, and by all indications we sported a group of future champions, pc as so

193373 l:I'2Sl1I11dI'l Class On September 1, 1936, one hundred and seventeen frightened but well meaning Freshmen arrived on Township High School grounds. We discovered several of our classmates missing but came upon new faces to take their places. When we first embarked upon that great lake of our high school life we felt strange, for we had sailed only on the sheltered river waters of grammar school. Yet our confidence was unshaken. The first few weeks of sailing on waters with such a boundless horizon opened our eyes to many things and revealed to us a cargo of wealth to be had at will. In any social activitiy, the Freshmen were always well represented. Every athletic team and every club had its Freshman members who were intensely in- terested and willing to work, Now at the end of the year we feel that this is our home and that we really belong here. We're hoping that we shall be able to return the next term to the school which we have learned to love and to the friends we have made. CLASS OFFICERS President ...... . . . .
