FOREWORD We, the members of the Staff of 1928, sub- mit to the students, and friends of the school, this volume of The Pyramid with a three-fold purpose. First, we hope that it will prove a memory book, rather than a mere record of statistics. We also hope that it may, in future years, reflect in some small way the spirit of Panzer Normal. Thirdly, we have tried to make the book a record of the happy days, the good times, and pleasures, as well as the deeper purposes which underlie our school life, but, above all, we hope that this Pyramid will in later days serve as a reminder of faces, names, and friendships of our days at Panzer Normal.

A normal school had been suggested several times before this, but at last the great scarcity of teachers of physical education and the difficulty of our Newark school system in obtaining competent teachers and substitutes decided us to act. Then, too, the quality of the candidates who applied for posi- tions made apparent the opportunity afforded for developing a higher standard of mental and physical attainment. The school was first located at the Newark Turnverein, and it re- mained there until 1924. It was founded by Mr. Mathias Macherey and Mr. Randall Warden. The original faculty consisted of Mr. Jack Morris, who was then the director of the school, Mathias Macherey, Randall Warden, Dr. Frank Kaufhold, Maxmilian Grozman, a brilliant German psychologist, George Seikel, Carl Anderson, Walter Short, A. B., Christine Dobbins, Gertrude Spinning Gross, and Louise Connelly. The first class to graduate from the school was small, numbering :( 5 } ■■
