THE CARDINAL OLEY CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL THE CARDINAL Published by The Class of 1937 Oley High School Dedication The Class of 1937 dedicates this our year hook, The Cardinal, To Our Parents: Whose sacrifice, patience, love, and guidance have helped us to attain our graduation goal. To Our Teachers: Whose scholarship, wise counsel, ever-ready help and service, kind and encouraging interests, ive greatly appreciate in our efforts to live a more complete, cultured, and abundant life. To Our Board of Directors: Whose wise judgment and foresight have provided for us transportation and a modern school building which enabled us to meet higher standards and provided for greater opportunities. Oley Township School Board President: Roger S. Trout Vice President: Charles B. Knabb Secretary: Isaac S. Rothenberger Treasurer: Warren B. Levengood James S. Deysher Wilson S. Rohrbach -:l 3 1 Foreword We have attempted to set forth a record in this book of the events of the class of 1937. Incomplete and imperfect as it may be, we hope it will present to you glimpses of happy events, pleasant places, and enjoyable friendships. In selecting a name for this book of memory we were not unmindful of the fact that cardinal represented among the ancients the four chief kinds of goodness: justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude. Furthermore, this tvord is suggestive of a high religious office and a beautiful bird. Nature and human nature have offered the best and most beautiful in the word cardinal. May this ivord be a beacon ivhich beckons the class of 1937 to more beautiful living and virtuous deeds. ====== THE 1937 Class When we started, slowly climbing— Oh, how long ago it seems, Colors splashing, poems rhyming. Building only idle dreams. Not a thought for future measures, Childhood seemed but few short hours; Happy days with endless pleasures Always sunshine, never showers. Years rolled on and some departed From our slow, ascending trip, Yet, with courage we kept sailing On our happy carefree ship. CARDINAL ===== Poem Near the top, but ever climbing Let us always better do, As the clock of life keeps chiming Never say, “I’m up, and through!” Looking back at dreams we cherish Happy moments we recall Telling others not to perish Victory triumphs over all! The world moves on, now and forever Others shall their stories tell, May our dear old school days never From our memories try to dwell. —Janet Keehn.

Another event equally as great, even though unheralded, was the entrance of the class of 1937 into high school. It was September, 1934, when 52 members of the new freshman class huddled fearfully in little groups, not knowing what to expect. Our feelings were not eased to any extent by the tales of horror that were told by the sophomores. We decided that discretion was the better part of valor, so we quietly did our lessons and gradually became accustomed to our new glory. It was during this year that seven of our members decided gold is more to be desired than knowledge or perhaps they heard that Thomas Edison had left school at a very tender age and later became very successful. The rest of us worked bravely and came back in the fall with the rank of sophomores. Needless to say, we felt very superior and the combined efforts of the juniors, seniors and teachers could not entirely squelch us. Three more members left us. It was during this year that a few brave damsels and young Lochinvars braved the taunts of their classmates for the glories of love. With all our new experience we had not yet learned that serious study is necessary for a high school student. Our third year at Oley High School was one of tremendous progress. We again lost two members and now numbered only thirty, but our wisdom increased tremendously. We learned how to recite upon subjects without advance preparation. We learned many successful excuses for avoiding or not completing home work. We also learned the value of all for one and one for all with the result that when one pupil did a lesson, all the rest were soon likewise endowed. So with unwearied minds we stood last June on the threshold of seniority. This year is too fresh in our minds to need historical accounting. It would be better to count stock and list the damages which have been wrought in our passage through Oley High School. On damages to the school, I can not report. During this year we became exceedingly serious minded and participated in all school activities for hobody could give anything, whether debate, plays, musical programs or athletic contests without asking a senior to help and show his talent. All in all we report for graduation with bright hopes for the future. These four years have been happy ones. Our teachers and principal have done everything to make our stay pleasant and profitable. Our associations with one another have formed lasting friendships so that whatever our lot in the future, we can look back on our high school days and say, “Those were the happiest days of my life.” -:[ 16 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL HOPE W. ANGSTADT “Wimpy” Oley, Pa. Class Play Cast ’37; Operetta Chorus ’35, ’37; Track ’34. “Finish What You Attempt” Entertainment can never be dull when “Wimpy” is part of the crowd, for she is the liveliest girl in our class. Her hearty laugh, sociability, ability to tell stories, and her broad sense of humor make her a longed for companion. Hope is probably the best dressed girl in our class because of her excellent judgment in color harmony and adaptability to her personal requirements. She is very careful about style, design, material and the fit of the dress. A dress that is one millimeter out of place is entirely out of the question for her. Reading is her chief recreation, therefore she always was the first to finish her book reports. For exercise and physical development she loves horseback riding for it not only provides sport for her but furnishes a great outlet of her love for animals. She has already consented to instruct some pupils who are favorite helpers. Some day you will find Hope a private secretary because of her great love and ability to do detail work and meeting people. -.[17]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL GERALDINE ELSIE BOWERS “Jerry” Fleetwood, R. F. D. No. 2, Pa. Basketball ’35, ’36, ’37; Class Play ’37. “Try and Trust” This is the girl we welcomed to Oley High from Mt. Penn, in her sophomore year. When first she came here, her favorite color was “brown”; since then it has changed to a variety of colors. Because she is the tallest girl in the class, she has a good advantage over the smaller players on the basketball team. Jerry has many hobbies. Among them are: basketball, swimming, reading, and automobiling. Of these, she has made the greatest success in basketball, as center and forward. At times when she is lonely, she hops into her car and drives around the countryside to give others the pleasure of seeing her favorite scenes. Although she cares for a variety of dishes, her much preferred dish is one of “Brunner’s Specials”. We wish Jerry success in the secretarial field but our warning is that secretaries do not mingle pleasure with business. -:[ 18]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL RAYMOND B. BOWER “Puffy” Oley, R. F. D. No. 1, Pa. Class Play ’37; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’35-’37; Speak-O-Link Staff ’36, ’37; Track ’36, ’37. “Smile at Difficulties” This is our strong and fall man of the Senior Class. His nickname, “Puffy”, does not illustrate any characteristics of his personality or his physique. His height, five feet eleven inches, and his weight, one hundred and seventy-five pounds, could easily get him a position on a professional baseball team. He is a very studious and a serious lad, and during his leisure time plays both wind and string instruments. This talent enabled him to join the Cowboy Serenaders, a light opera company, appearing on Broadway. Frequently the girls get the better of his good nature, for they draft him whenever an emergency arises. This generosity has made him very popular and we hope it may continue. This boy claims he has taken orders so long that he will enter a military academy and train for an occupation where he can give orders to others. -:[ 19 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL RUTH R. BRYAN “Ruthie” Oley, Pa. Camp Fire Girls ’34, ’35; Class Play ’36; Operetta ’35, ’37; Class Play ’37; Operetta ’35, ’37. “Climb Though the Rocks Be Rugged” Ruth has been a member of our class since seventh grade. During these six years we discovered that she has made a great number of friends and acquaintances. She has always been very studious and had her lessons prepared. We all know her as “the candy girl”. To the delight of all she was never selfish in sharing her supply with her classmates. In her spare time she uses her brother’s bicycle to ride in the country, as this gives her a chance to study nature. She likes swimming and hiking. Outdoor shows are her favorite entertainment; however, school entertainments never find her missing. In school and church she is willing to contribute her services for the good of everybody. As her favorite instrument Ruth has the violin, which she played for six years. After graduation Ruth wishes to be a dress maker and designer. Our best wishes to you, Ruth. 20 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL HELEN MAY CLEAVER “Sis” Oley, Pa. Class Play ’37; Operetta ’35, ’37. “Go East and West and Be Honest” Helen, who is one of the tallest girls in our class, joined us in the sixth grade. This senior lass is not afraid to assert her rights in a case of argument. Because she is willing to abide by her convictions she is not easily influenced by people with whom she does not agree. We admire her for her courage of having a mind of her own and not merely acquiescing, because she does not want to offend. Most of her leisure time is spent in doing many interesting things, such as listening to musical programs and dramatic sketches on the radio. The best form of entertainment, she claims, is the motion picture. Helen has chosen a life of service to humanity in which she wishes to soothe the fevered brow and calm the troubled mind. The class wishes her the greatest success as a nurse, for she will have a lot of Oley patients. We hope, Helen, that they will be patients and not a patient. -:[2i ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL JANE ELIZABETH DALTON “Janie” Oley, Pa. Class Play ’37; Operetta ’36, ’37. “Not How Much, But How Well” Our quiet and demure girl is Jane. More of her time has been spent on her lessons than the majority of her classmates, and as the years have moved on she has shown a remarkable improvement in her scholarship. Jane would not do as a naturalist, for she has an innate hatred for cats and dogs. She is the best hiker of our class and makes her classmates indulge in this simple form of exercise. The simplicity of her taste is revealed in her liking of sport clothes. Her wit and actions have often made us laugh. This winter she was second highest contestant in the foul shooting contest held here at school and as a result was one of the girls who participated in the Philadelphia contest. We are not sure if Jane is planning to take a business course or considering teacher training as her future work, but whatever it may be, the senior class sincerely wishes her the best of luck. -:[ 22 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL DOROTHY L. DE TURCK “Dotty” Oley, Pa. Class Play ’37; Class Secretary ’36, ’37; Debating ’36, 37; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’34-’37; Speak-O-Link Staff ’36, ’37. “Work and Win” Dorothy has always been an example of those sterling qualities of character, for the preservation of which her French Huguenot ancestors had come to the Oley Valley. Efficiency, accuracy, honesty, and frankness have been the key to this modest and quiet girl. She was always generous and willing to offer her car whenever we desired transportation for our many class longings. In her interests she has shown that she likes to make use of her time. In music she is a faithful and accomplished violin student of Wittich’s Studio. When the pupils of the school broadcasted, Dorothy was asked to play the violin. As a debater she has also proved helpful and very convincing in her arguments. Almost every Monday morning we ask her, “Did you see a movie this weekend?” The answer is most always, “Yes”. Her favorite movie actor and actress are Frederick March and Joan Crawford. The members of her class wish her success in the teaching career which she has chosen. -:[ 23 ] THE 1937 CARDINAL HILDA LEONA ECKERT “Blondie” Fleetwood, R. F. D. No. 1, Pa. Camp Fire Girls ’34; Operetta ’35; Senior Class Play ’37. “Live to Serve” Behold, our little blonde from Rockland, who has very little to say and is very well behaved. During her four years of high school, Hilda always had her lessons prepared and was never seen in the corridors. In her Senior year, she and her friend drove to and from school every day. Hilda enjoys reading novels and short stories by famous writers. Whenever she has a spare moment, you may find her reading some type of fiction. When she is in an embarrassing moment in a class, she indicates her disapproval by a beautiful blush which illuminates her face. A girl who has the ability to keep secrets and lets work be her first duty should be very successful in the business world, but Hilda has definite ideas about her future. She will enter a teacher training institution. Any girl who has observed the rules so carefully herself should find it very easy to help young children follow the rule. -:[ 24 ] THE 1937 CARDINAL ANNA M. ESCHBACH “Terry” Fleetwood, R. F. D. No. 2, Pa. Camp Fire Girls of America ’34-’35; Class Play ’37; Class Treasurer; Operetta ’35, ’37; Track ’35-’36. . “Keep Climbing” This modern and most popular girl of our class is Anna. She always has plenty to talk about but her interests are somewhat masculine in nature. Whenever a disturbance arose in class, it usually centered around Anna. However, Anna was a very studious girl and always had her lessons prepared. She dislikes farm life and if unexpectedly she would inherit a large sum of money, we are sure she would move to a large city, where her social ambitions could be realized. Her great vocal ability has made her an admirer of music. She never fails to listen to her favorite “swing” orchestras on the radio. This is what we believe is the cause of Anna’s charming personality. Driving the car and going on long trips are immensely enjoyed by Anna. This has proved a great convenience to her neighbors whom she transported. The class is sure that she will be successful as a business woman to which she can bring personality and scholarship. -:[ 25 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL EDITH M. GIFT “Edie” Oley, Pa. Basketball ’34-’37; Camp Fire Girls ’34; Class Play ’37; Operetta ’37; Speak-O-Link Staff ’36, ’37; Track ’34-’37. “Step By Step” Edith has been highly favored in personal requirements for a good basketball player because she is so light, quick, and very speedy. This enabled her to cover a large floor space in a short time. It has made her famous as a forward on our basketball team. Did you ever watch her vim and vigor on the track team? Here is a modern Atalanta. She has not only distinguished herself in athletics, but has achieved great fame as the athletic reporter for our school paper for two years. Working as a library assistant gave her an opportunity to become acquainted with books. Her ambitions lean toward business college where she expects to prepare herself to conduct an athletic store. Never mind, Edith, we will all buy our athletic equipment for basketball, baseball, track, hockey and swimming, from you. -:[ 26 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL ERNEST T. HAAS “Whitey” Manatawny, Pa. Baseball ’34-’37; Class Play ’37; F. F. A. ’37; Soccer ’37; Track ’34-’37. “Never Give Up” When Ernest entered the Oley High School he was considered a very studious lad. It is to our sorrow that he permitted this to fade away to such an extent that in his senior year he seemed to be merely floating. He pays a lot of attention to his personal appearance. He claims he knows more about setting a permanent than the girls in our class. He prefers curly hair, but we wish he would pay some attention to that tie we miss so often. In sports he prefers baseball and track because he claims this gives him an opportunity of the open air and sun at the same time. His hobbies are hunting and trapping. About hunting rabbits, Ernest knows more than any other person in the community. Ernest wants to earn high wages, therefore he chose knitting as a trade after graduation. -: [ 27 ]: - THE 1937 CARDINAL MARY JANE HAAS “Haasie” Oley, Pa. Class Play ’36; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’34-’37. “Trust and Try” Behold our Mary Jane, who always likes to have a lot of variety in her attire. Fortunate circumstances give her ample opportunities to demonstrate this rule of her life. She loves to travel in other parts of our country to study habits and customs of other people. This provides an outlet for her unusual artistic ability. The drama, especially the cinema, appeal greatly to her taste for fine arts. She loves dancing, music, costuming and acting. In spite of her talents and fortunate home conditions, she never boasts or acts conceited. Fun and humor are no strangers to her, for her classmates say that she can help to create a good time. She never is idle for she has read almost every novel in our school library. The future will find Mary Jane a famous illustrator, whose workmanship will rival that of our present day artists. -:[ 28 ];- THE 1937 CARDINAL VERA H. HAAS “Bunnie” Oley, Pa. Camp Fire Girls ’34; Class Play ’36. “Without Labor There Is Nothing” At times Vera seems very serious; at other times very carefree. She is a true friend who never refuses to do her duty whenever she is asked to help on any committee for a basketball game or some other school function. During the winter months she does a lot of sewing for herself and her mother. This indicates that she has a creative ability. Her hobby is driving the car. Whenever we pass Vera’s place, we see the car parked in front of the gate, which tells us that Vera is ready to go for a ride or has just come home. If she cannot have the car to go for a ride, she takes her brother’s bicycle and drives around the square. Whenever her parents mention the idea of going to “Boyertown” she always is ready to take them, because this includes both her hobby and her most interesting town. After graduation we know that Vera will be successful in whatever she selects for her occupation. -: [ 29 ]: - THE 1937 CARDINAL HAROLD S. HARTLINE “Dukey” Stony Creek Mills, Pa. Baseball ’36, ’37; Class Play Cast ’37; F. F. A. ’34; Operetta ’37; Senior Chorus ’35; Speak-O-Link Staff ’36, ’37. “He Conquers Who Labors” Harold originates from the “Suburbs of Oley Line” in Exeter Township. He is the shortest boy in the Senior Class. Because of his size he was usually chosen for a child’s part in plays, but he resented this very much. Hartline is a handsome, clever, and friendly fellow. He is very witty and very humorous. Frequently he entertains his classmates with humorous incidents which he encountered during his escapades through Oley Line. Dukey’s main hobbies are baseball, hunting, and trapping. Harold is a very good second baseman due to the fact that he is quick and a fast thinker. This classmate is a great lover of the “wide open spaces” and often takes long walks in the woods on clear, sunny days. Dukey’s ambitions are to become a good machinist, work steady, have a nice car, and have better times with some of his desirable classmates. -:[ 30 THE 1937 CARDINAL ANNETTA ELIZABETH HILL “Etta” Oley, R. F. D. No. 1, Pa. Athletic Association, Treasurer, ’37; Class Play ’37; Debating ’36, ’37; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’34-’37; Speak-O-Link Staff ’37. “Have Courage to Say What You Think Annetta hails from the hills of Ruscombmanor. Because of her great music ability and love for this fine art, she has had the privilege of playing the piano for the orchestra. She is very careful of her appearance, such as dress and the coiffure of her glossy black hair. For several years of her high school career, she showed no interest in her class mates. She often declared they were unattractive and not her ideal. Recently she changed her attitude and worked hard to improve her class spirit and her individual standards of scholarship. Because of her straight forward unbiased opinions, and her precise and eloquent voice, she has won a very important part on the debating teams. The class of 1937 hopes that Annetta will be the greatest pianist of her age. Her classmates believe Annetta will be able to hold her own, whether in private discussions or formal platform oratory. -:[ 31 ];- THE 1937 CARDINAL RUTH IRENE HOCH Oley, Pa. Basketball ’34-’37; Cheerleader ’35; Class Play ’37; Class President ’34-’36; Debating ’35-’37; Operetta ’35. ’37; Secretary of Athletic Association ’36, Vice President ’37; Speak-O-Link Staff ’36, ’37; Track '34-’37. “Live, Not For Yourself Alone, But For Others” If there were to be a prize for the healthiest student in school, we are sure Ruth would get it. This husky girl’s ambition is to spread happiness, for wherever she goes she cheers up her neighbors, helps them along, and soon they are as happy as she. While many feel it is due to her size, we think it is her willingness to work, her pleasant voice, and her pleasing personality which has made her such a successful debater. Ruth is a natural born leader. Simply follow her footsteps and guidance and you will be sure to come out on top, for she has that wise judgment which always leads to the right way. She enters in all activities with the same zeal. While she is near the top in all, she excells in basketball and track. In days to come Ruth wishes to cheer the ill on land or in the air. We are sure she will succeed, for she is always the friend in need, full of sympathy, yet cheerful. THE 1937 CARDINAL HENRY S. HUEY “Hen” Fleetwood, Pa. Class Play ’37; Soccer ’37; Track ’35, ’36 (Fleetwood), ’37. “Smile at Difficulties Henry, a former student at Fleetwood High School, joined our class in our senior year. In a short time he was very well acquainted with his classmates. He was enlisted by our class as a comedian but he also proved to be an industrious student. Stamp collecting is his favorite pastime, but amateur radio broadcasting has been his chief interest. He claims this is a very efficient way of securing his lessons from his classmates. His vocabulary has become so handicapped by these scientific terms that whenever he needs a word for social events and effeminate people, all he can think of is “Toots, Toots, Toots.” The future will find this lad conducting experiments with radio broadcasting stations, as he already has one in his home at Pricetown. Tune in for station HSH. -:[ 33 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL EARL R. IMPINK Oley, R. F. D. No. 2, Pa. Class Play ’37; Class Reporter ’37; Soccer ’36, ’37. “Work and Win” Tall, dark, and handsome is the description of Earl, better known as “Impink”. Earl came from Pike Township to our school where he has won a great achievement. During the first year Earl was very bashful, but as the years passed by he progressed until he is now one of the most popular boys in the class. Whenever any classmates discuss the movies, Earl is sure to help the conversation. This is due to the fact that he sees more moving pictures than anybody in the class. This is only one of Earl’s hobbies. Among the others are hunting, swimming, and building model airplanes. “Impink” uses good judgment in the selection of his clothes and colors, but resorts to brown as his favorite color. Earl has many desires for the future. One is to buy a speedy car and “burn up the roads” with his friends. The other is to enter an aviation school and roam the open spaces in an airplane. -:[ 34 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL E. JANET KEEHN “Nettie” Oley, Pa. Class Play ’37; Class Secretary ’34, ’35; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’34-’37; Speak-O-Link Staff ’37. “Act Well Your Part” Did you ever see Janet driving along in her new Dodge ? No, not alone, for she always invites her classmates. How we did enjoy this girl’s generosity, for she entertained us royally up at her father’s bungalow, where we had an excellent swimming pool to our taste. Here is another one of our famous artists and musicians. A pencil in her hand, a piece of paper, and an idle moment always produced a portrait and a sketch. Did you ever hear her play the violin? Imitating radio programs is one of Janet’s hobbies. Her interests point to the fine arts, for she loves to compose poetry, not modern, but the rhythmical kind. Her classmates all prophesied a career in either art or music, but Janet has decided it for herself, for she tells us that she will enter Business School. Janet, with your pleasing personality and your many talents, you ought to be a very successful person in our class. -:[ 35 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL EDMUND MARTIN LENDACKI “Het” Fleetwood, R. F. D. No. 1, Pa. Baseball ’36, ’37; Basketball '35, ’36, ’37; Class Play ’37; Future Farmers of America ’34-’37; Soccer ’36, ’37; Track ’36, ’37. “We Finish To Begin” Edmund, who is very handsome, might qualify for the motion pictures. Everybody likes him because of his sociability. He is very intelligent and very humorous, but fails to use his time to the best advantage. History has always been very fascinating to him for he never came to class unprepared. The Future Farmers of America selected him as their president. In sports, he is very active, and participated in soccer, baseball, basketball, and track. “Het” won sixth place in individual poultry judging, in a state contest at State College. Swimming, which is his favorite sport, consumes most of his time in the summer. Edmund wishes to secure employment in a factory next year, where wages are high and there is little tension of work. -:[ 36 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL MARIE S. LEVENGOOD Oley, Pa. Class Play ’37; Debating ’36, ’37; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’34-’37. “Launched But Not Anchored” Marie is the only girl in our class with titian tinted hair. At times she seems to have a temper but it is a righteous indignation. It is her method to spur on the other fellow to work. No man will ever get the better of Marie, for she has served on the debating team for two years, during which she developed the art of courteous retort to perfection. In music she is active, playing the violin in our school orchestra, and she likes to sing on the village choir. As a business executive, she has shown that the class budget can be balanced for this had to be done after each basketball game. Because of her ability to tell people where they belong, we hope Marie will become a teacher and maintain order in school rooms as she did among her masculine classmates. Ten years from now we shall find Marie the head of the English Department of Oley High School, for which we know she has promising abilities. -:[ 37 ] THE 1937 CARDINAL ALBERTA H. REDCAY “Birdie” Limekiln, Pa. Camp Fire Girls ’34; Class Play ’37; Operetta ’35; Speak-O-Link Staff ’37. “Do More, Wish Less” The first few years of Alberta’s school life were spent quietly and studiously, but during her last year in school she has become jolly and full of fun. Her taste in the selection of her clothing is that of an artist. She can wear any color or style and wears them all in their proper way. Movies are her main hobby. She enjoys to look at her movie heroes in the magazines, especially Jimmy Stewart. This is her favorite and ideal actor on the screen. When decisions go against her, “Birdie” can make the queerest red faces, which is her method of registering disgust. As a profession for later life, Alberta wishes to become an air stewardess. As a group, we wish her happy landings and safe journeys. -: [ 38 ]: - THE 1937 CARDINAL VERLE ROHRBACH Oley, Pa. Basketball Manager ’36, ’37; Class Play ’37; Debating ’36, ’37; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’34-’37; Speak-O-Link ’36. “Not for Self, But for All” A large beautiful smile! That’s Verle. Yes, she has one for everybody. She is a tiny featured girl, but regardless of this, her voice is powerful, and that is why she was a good debater. In fact, Verle was always clever in convincing her classmates. Her tastes in dress are very desirable and if you are interested in the trend of coiffure, just note her changes in headdress as the weeks roll by. We assure you, they are always most astounding and attractive. If ever we examined Verle’s tablets, we found figures expressing lines of beauty, and most of all dress designs. All these have shown her remarkable talent in art. Her ambition is to become a commercial artist and we sincerely hope that her wish be granted. It is prophesied that some day we will look up to Verle as the United States authority in dress designing. -:[ 39 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL RUSSELL R. ROTHENBERGER “Russ” Oley, Pa. Class Play ’37; Class President ’37; Debating '36, ’37; Operetta ’37. “There Is But One Answer to a Fool and That Is Silence” Russell is the humorist of the class of nineteen thirty-seven. He is a brilliant student and excells in mathematics and the scientific courses. Before a test he is always showered with questions by the other members of the class who failed to study. If you were to visit Russell, you would find him parked on a rocking chair listening to the radio. Woe to anyone who disturbs him! The next morning you will usually find him telling his fellow class members the jokes and “wise cracks” of the programs. He has a schedule of programs for every night in the week. It starts about five o’clock and lasts till ten-thirty or eleven o’clock. It takes a very important school function to break this schedule. This radio habit probably accounts for Russell’s great interest in dramatics. He would rather interpret a villain role than a hero. Who can tell? He may someday be another Rathbone or Barrymore. -: [ 40 ]: - THE 1937 CARDINAL PAUL NORMAN SHAABER “Blondy” Fleetwood, R. F. D. No. 1, Pa. Class Play ’37; Operetta ’35; Orchestra ’34-’37. “Knowledge Crowns Those Who Seek It” Norman arrived at Oley High School in his freshman year. He is a quiet boy and is well liked by all his classmates. His violin playing rivals that of the great swing masters and is a never ending source of delight to his friends. In his spare time he can usually be found in the laboratory because he has ability along scientific lines. Whenever you visit Norman you will find him experimenting with a short-wave radio. Puzzles are his hobby but of late one has him baffled. It is called Latin, and he has arrived at the conclusion that there is no solution. Norman is also very fond of cowboy music and is well versed on the merits of all the groups that play this type of music. We predict that Norman will become a national expert on radio and electricity. -:[ 41 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL LUCY PAULINE M. SHADE “Shady” Fleetwood, R. F. D. No. 2, Pa. Camp Fire Girls ’34; Class Play ’37. “Not at the Top, But Climbing” Who is this studious and very quiet little girl in the Senior Class? There is no need of asking for we all know it is Lucy. She came to this school in ninth grade from Rockland Township, and has been a pal to all the girls ever since, but somehow she is very seldom seen talking fo the boys. There was no need for teachers to watch Lucy for she never misbehaved. Lucy is a good sport in all things. She never is a poor loser even if the fates turn against her. Once in a while a trick was played on her but she usually became aware of it before we got a laugh out of it. Lucy is ambitious to study beauty culture and later expects to establish and operate a beauty salon of her own. We wish her the best of luck and we know all her classmates will support her shop. -:[ 42 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL CURTIS CALVIN SHANE “Cally” Boyertown, R. F. D. No. 2, Pa. Class Play ’37; F. F. A. ’34-’37; Operetta ’35. “Upward and Onivard” Here is a very comical fellow who hails from the big city of Woodchoppertown, where a man is always a man. TTie many interesting experiences which he related about his native country made him a favorite among his classmates. His quiet ways very often give his classmates the wrong impression, for he can entertain you with nature lore, folk dancing, and folk tales. As an animal trainer he is very successful with dogs. These, during hunting season, realize for him a large income in fur-bearing animals. The great distance which he lives from the building has made him very irregular in his attendance. At the same time he claims he never missed a wrestling match in the Reading Armory. The fertile hills of Earl Township will become a blessing to Curtis, for he intends to become the largest fruit grower in our county. He claims he has already devised a new spray for the control of pests. -:[ 43 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL RUTH MILDRED SNYDER “Snyder” Oley, Pa. Class Play ’37; Class Treasurer ’35. ’37; Operetta ’35, ’37; Orchestra ’34-’37; Speak-O-Link Staff ’36-’37. “Life Is What We Make It” Ruth is one of the jolliest girls in our class and has what is commonly known as a keen sense of humor. She works in her father’s store after school and very often her friends take advantage of her kindness. Study periods would have been failures without the candy that Ruth supplied. Her personality always seemed to radiate joy and happiness, for she never appeared discouraged or sad. Her fondness for children would lead us to think that she would select school teaching in later life. Ruth declares she is not certain about her future occupation, although she would like to be a music teacher, for she likes her violin. We wish her the best of luck. -:[ 44 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL ROBERT SAMUEL WEGMAN “Bobbie” Limekiln, Pa. Class Play ’37; F. F. A. ’34-’37; Operetta ’35. “Learn to Do By Doing” Behold the quietest boy in school. This tall and serious boy is Robert, who very seldom expressed his own opinion for he was too timid. His classmates never heard him assert his rights when arguments became very heated, because his nature forced him to vote the way his classmates wished. In athletic activities, Robert did not participate, although he was a good player. Robert takes a great interest in truck farming. In his freshman year he won first prize for his project at State College in a contest which included all vocational students in Pennsylvania. Trapping and hunting are his favorite hobbies. The farm on which he lives is an excellent location for this sport. Whatever Robert decides to do in the future, we wish him the best of success in business or in trade. Remember, Robert, that you must begin to assert your rights, for a faint heart never won a fair lady. -: [ 45 ]: - THE 1937 CARDINAL Last Will and Testament Be it remembered that we, the class of ’37, of Oley High School, situated in the township of Oley, in the County of Berks, in the State of Pennsylvania, being in our usual unsound state of mind and memory, but mindful of the uncertainty of this life, and our approaching dismemberment, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us. After the payment of all our just debts, funeral charges, grudges, and expenses of administration, we dispose of our estate as follows: To the Junior Class, we give and bequeath our seats in the senior room, including such of our initials as are inscribed upon the desks, erasers, pencils, spitballs, pieces of chalk, and cuds of gum, which we neglected to remove in the haste of our departure. May these small tokens help them to while away a year of senior learning as they have us. To the Sophomore Class, we bequeath such grudges as the faculty of this school may still hold against us for our sins of commission and omission. May they bear the burden of these grudges in a meek and humble spirit to which they have not already become accustomed. To the Freshman Class, we have nothing left to bequeath but a lot of good advice. Do not study too hard, for it will make you sick and unhealthy, and no employer wants a sickly graduate any more than a horse thief desires to take an unsound horse. Always carry a lot of books with you to and from school and classes, but never look within their oovers, for the inside pages are laden with microbes from the contaminating use of former classes. Whenever you are caught in a disciplinary offense, look very scared and sorry for your punishment will then be light. If you will obey all these things then, three years from now you will be occupying these places of solemnity and dignity with a minimum of effort, wear and tear. To our Principal, Mr. Stauffer, who has been our. faithful guardian for four years, we give the extreme pleasure of getting rid of us. May he never have another class as trying and as stupid as this one. May he also have a long life in which to gloat over the superiority of the next generation of pupils over ours. To Mr. Stauffer, our German professor, we bequeath ail irregular verbs, and Pennsylvania German idioms to be corrected and discarded at his pleasure. We appreciate his lectures on philosophy and wise counseling to follow the straight and narrow path. To Miss Rothenberger and Mr. Knabb, our athletic coaches, we bequeath all sprains, bruises, ruptures, broken noses, cuts, kicks, and black eyes, which we will not be around to take personally after graduation. To them, we also bequeath the school gymnasium and athletic field, which we do not need now and, furthermore, which we do not own. We hope they will have many successful athletic teams now that we are going. Without us, anything may be possible. To Mr. Stopp, our skillful teacher of mathematics, we give and bequeath every curse word we uttered in our hopeless attempt to master algebra and geometry. With his natural ability added to the possession of our united vocabularies, he should be able to make mathematical wizards of all his future mathematics pupils. To Mrs. Geiss, our linguistic Latin teacher, we give the magnificent collection of translations we have so laboriously written into all the school Latin books. Her future classes will seem smarter with less effort than we expended. As for English, we bequeath to Mrs. Geiss, our liberal supply of slang, immature ideas of composition, love for literature and dramatics and the love for memory passages. To Miss DeTurck, teacher of history, we bequeath all the ancient history, those many dates, the late hours we spent in preparing our (Continued on Page 64) -:[ 46 THE 1937 CARDINAL Junior Class Louise Auciello Esther Aulenbach Helen Aulenbach Charles Berger Ray Bieber Nita Bixler Warren Bossier Bettinia Brubaker Guy Bryan George Buchert Newton Correll Eleanor Dalton Alma Dierolf Loretta Dunn William Fisher Rhea Gift Bernard Hertzog Laura Hoch Regina Houp Pere Lehman Gideon Link Frederick Lorah Wayne Readinger William Reeser Emma Ritter Grace Rohrbach Janet Rothenberger Luther Rothenberger Sara Shane Lester Weidner Paul Yoder •:l 47 I:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Sophomore Class John Bertolet Albert Bieber Lee Bieber Anne Brubaker James Christman Horace Cleaver Marian Deysher Eugene Dunn Pauline Dunigan Evelyn Eddinger Eleanor Eschbach Martha Gift George Griesemer Miriam Groff Irvin Haas Dorothy Herzog Ellen Hoffman Harold Homan Ruth Kauffman Erma Keller Grace Kinsey Nevin Knabb Francis Lendacki Daniel Levengood John Lubas Mary Ellen Mumma Mary Ellen Rhoads Martha Ritter George Robertson Estella Rohrbach Donald Roth Herbert Seidel William Shane Stuart Snyder Warren Trout Sylvanus Wegman -:[ 48 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Freshmen Class Morris Auciello Joyce Brown Roger Dalton Evelyn De Turck Lester Dilliplane Donald Dragon Robert Dragon Mary Eschbach Loretta Essig Paul Fretz Edwin Frey Ralph Freyberger Abel Gehman Hilda Gift Herbert Haas Carrie Hafer Howard Hafer Joseph Hafer Paul Hafer Melvin Haring Robert Harnley Kathryn Hertzog Larue Hinkle Bessie Houp Frank Janiszewski Catherine Kemmerer Ellen Labe Robert Levan Harold Link Grace Loeb Edward Lorah Elmer Moyer Merrill Moyer Robert Moyer Chester Noll Edna Ohlinger Bruce Peters Phylis Quaintance Emma Reider Ralph Reinert Kathleen Reitnouer Anna Rhoads Betty Rhoads Sealos Rohrbach Howard Schaeffer William Schaeffer Leon Stapleton Arlene Stumphofer Marion Yoder -:[ 49 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Eighth Grade Kathryn Behney Harrison Christman Donald Clouser Sarah Clouser Harold Conrad James Fitzgerald Edwin Griesemer Grace Hartman Alice Hetrick Marie Hoch Robert Hoch Helen Knabb Ethel Lechner Elizabeth Lehman Ralph Loeb Grace Mathias Donald Moyer John Moyer Jennie Mosser Elsie Reinert Clara Rothenberger Frederick Seidt Martha Shane Irene Shaner Ruth Stumphofer Thomas Turner Daniel Weiser George Willman -:[ 50 I:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Seventh Grade Anna Angstadt Marie Angstadt Arthur Bear Helen Bieber Analene Bower Myrtle Boyer Alice Bryan Ralph Christman Bruce Clouser John Clouser Barry De Long Alvin de Turck Earl Drumheller Eleanor Enoch Merle Fisher Walter Gift Walter Haas Wcodrow Haas Verna Haring Andrew Hess Evelyn Hetrick Helen Hoover Lawrence Houp Mae Howard Arlene Kline Rhea Knabb Jeanne Knecht Jean Lehman Jerome Lendacki Stuart Levan Harold Lightcap Gladys Maderia Grace Mathias Paul Moyer Martin Peifer Daniel Prutzman Harold Prutzman Ellen Reider George Reitnouer Dorothy Renninger Wilmer Richard Marie Schaeffer Eugene Snyder Roy Snyder Ray Stackhouse Howard Trout Russell Trout Martha Troxell Robert Wentzel Stanley Willman THE 1937 CARDINAL Soccer Team Boys Basketball Team -:[52 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Girls Basketball Team -:[ 53 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Senior Class Play “Growing Pains” Debating Teams -:[ 54 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Operetta Orchestra -:[ 55 ]:- THE 1937 CARDINAL Speak-O-Link Staft -r se i:- Future Farmers of America = THE 1937 CARDINAL Class Song SUNRISE We laugh “Ha Ha!” We chaff “Ha Ha!

To the Vocational Instructor, Miss Challanger, we bequeath all the broken dishes, and cooking utensils, empty bobbins, broken needles, bent pins, dull scissors and scratched tables. We will not forget to express our gratefulness for the aid she was always willing to give to us. To Mr. Potts, we bequeath the rusty nails, useless pieces of lumber, lost tools, by all means the prize chickens and an abundant supply of corn and potatoes. We wish him to enjoy all future privileges for making scenery. To Miss Gabel, the music instructor, we leave our false notes, torn and interlined music books, the cooperation of all senior boys for future rehearsals. To Mr. Heffley, we bequeath our well arranged science notebook, disorderly laboratory table drawers, unsuccessful experiments and all broken apparatus. Besides these gifts of ordinary nature, we leave, of our own free will, our blessing upon this school and its teachers, fond memories of our pleasant four years spent in association with these teachers and other pupils of the school, and our pledge of friendship and cooperation in all school activities of the future. May Oley High School prosper and grow with the years. All the rest of our property, whatsover and wheresoever, and of what nature, kind and quality, after the payment of all our debts and funeral expenses, we leave to our School Board. May they grow rich and independent from the proceeds. In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, this first day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven. —RUTH HOCH.
