In the Basketball squads--among the track sprinters, with the Baseball brigade, and even in the Tennis racketeers' uniform, we find them-these athletic graduates of 1932. Elizabeth Derkocz. captain of this season's girls' basketball teant, has just completed four years of splendid playing. Elizabeth played a snappy game as a forward last year, and this season again played in the shooting position. In spite of the majority of good shots still re- maining, this plueky girl will be a loss hard to replace. Julia Ilaytman has also seen four years of sporting service in the court, playing substitute guard last year and regular on the past winter's sextette. There is a saying to the effect that a team is as strongas its scrubs. This can be applied here for we must not forget the boys who drilled with to bring two Green, Gear- Polash, Reh- all played on Steve Tergo, player of the first ten two years ago and this season helped the quintette reach the state semi-finals by his fine playing at forward.

Four years ago this coming Autumn, this high school enjoyed its last football season. Foul Freshmen were then seen on the gridiron: Mur- ray, Polash, Rehrig and Tergo. All had promis- ings of fine players in them then. Bossard, Chamberlin and Gearhart played their last tennis games flying the blue and white colors. These three boys were highly re- sponsible for the successful year in tennis and much credit is due them. In track, Ernest Rehrig has been throwing the discus and putting the shot to no meager means. Fred Heller has been running in true form in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. .Iaek Mur- ray, brawny Irisher, has been found fast on his feet, and he and .Ioe Plechavi are two of the cin- der-path artists on this season 's track squad. For the last two years Sidney Wvebb has been seen chasing flies in right field playing in most of the baseball contests, and he, with Rehrig, will receive letters in this sport. 1Yith such line turn-out alhletically, in every one of the offered sports, who can say but that perhaps the hearts of Coach Braucher, Coach V1'ilhelm, and Coach Barnes will undergo serious palpitations when they see one or two of their prodigies Camong the 1932 graduatesj listed for competition in the International Olympic games? 23

SENIOR IssUE THE MIRROR fs-I-4--iqn gc ULLIIISS The Mask is Lifted Among the outstanding features of THE MIRROR for several years has been the work of Pat Burns and Tony Spaghett, Robert Green and Alex Delich respectively. Pat Burns is the author of much of the humorous poetry and stories which have been published in the school paper. Alex is the originator of the en- tertaining column headed Did You Known? and he has at one time or another also conducted Tony Spagett's Department for the Love- lorn. Robert and Alex leave P.H.S. with the hope that a second Pat Burns and Tony Spaghett might appear to enhance the interest of MIRROR readers. MUSIC The Music Departments, under the direction of Miss Evalyn Jones, has done its part in shap- ing the aesthetic senses of the students of Pal- merton High School. The Glee Club, one of the most active organi- zations in the school, made a great success of its annual operetta, Jerry of Jericho Road, pre- sented on December 7 and 8. The combined Glee Clubs Cboys and girlsl gave a concert on May 3, as well as furnishing the music for the Community Christmas Play, the Baccalauraete Service and various Assembly programs. Seniors on the rolls of the two Glee Clubs are: Bernice Borger, Stephena Potisk, Anna Zawaly, Della Ziegenfus, Joyce Blose, Marion Oswald, Pauline Youngkin, Doris Harrison, Louis Shipcovsky and Barthold Zeiser. The orchestra has been a prime factor in fos- tering school spirit among the students. This organization held a concert during Music Week on May 5. It also provided music for the Arm- istice Day program, Lincoln and Washingtcn's Birthday programs, Senior Class Play, Oratori- cal and Extemporaneous Speaking Contests, Baccalaureate Service and the Commencement Pageant. Senior Class Orchestra members are: Doris Harrison, string bass, Roscoe Shive, snare drum 5 and Marsden Vanderwaart, bass drum. Class Finance Because of the pageant to be produced at the Commencement program, this year's Senior Class was faced with a larger budget than former classes have been. Among the first ways tried to raise money was th e sale of Christmas wreath- es. Members of the Class canvassed the town and in the three weeks before Christmas succeed- ed in selling almost four hundred wreaths. During all of the home basketball games, candy and ice cream were put on sale by the Seniors. This, together with the dances held after the games, was the largest single item in the receipts. Wraps were also checked by members of the Class and the receipts were a small but steady income. In the month of February rehearsals on the Senior Play The King Rides By were started and on March Sth and 9th this play was pre- sented to the public. The net income from the play amounted to 3187.-12. Following the Play was a period of inactivity as far as money raising was concerned. Ac- tivity was resumed with plans for the annual Senior Prom from which a small profit was realized. Now that the year is over, the Seniors may look back on a year that has been well spent and during which much work has been done. Senior Prom The Annual Senior Prom was held on Friday evening, April 22, in the High School gym. Earl Bryan and his orchestra furnished the peppy and popular tune for the much enjoyed occasion. Refreshments were served at attractively decor- ated booths, placed in the gym. The clever decorations added gaiety and charm to the fes- tivity. The General Committee which was responsible for the success of the Prom was headed by John Detwiller and his assistants were: Thomas Gear- hart, Catherine Peters, Fred Heller, Elizabeth Mikus and Ernest Walk. Several members of the class who volunteered their services did much in making the Prom a success.
