But to 120 of us boys and girls it meant more than the mere beginning of another school term. It meant that we were now Freshmen and had become at last a part of the Senior High School. So it was no wonder our faces were beaming with pride and importance, as the Hrst day of school began. Our Freshman year was rather uneventful, but during that time friendships were formed that bound us all more closely together and laid a foundation for the three happy years to follow. The nex-t fall 96 of the same boys and girls came trouping back to school, all ready to begin their sophomore year. A few weeks after school began, our class was organized with Miss Bonney as our adviser and with the following oflicers elected: President, Donald Sandercock, Vice-President, Thomas Bavaria: Secretary, Lola Cory: and Treasurer, Keith Harding. In November occurred the most important event of our Sophomore year-the selection of our class ring. Vlfe chose a beautiful ring that is highly prized by every member of the class. During the winter months, several roller skating parties were enjoyed at the Bangor rink. Soon spring was drawing near and with it the completion of our new school. The class wanted to make a contribution, and so a number of interesting books were purchased for the library of the new building. A few months later our Sophomore year came to an end. On September 8, 1937, the third year of our high school life began. At our Hrst class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Richard Fedong Vice-President, Dominic Rondinelli: Secretary, Elizabeth Hontz: and Treasurer, Clair Harding. The adviser of our class was Miss Shannon. Two parties were enjoyed during the year, one on Hallowe'en and one on Saint Pat- rick's Day. In March we journeyed to Lafayette College and received great pleasure from seeing the play Macbeth Then, in May, occurred the two greatest events of every Junior year. The first was -the banquet at Buck Hill Falls, at which every member of the class had a delightful time. The second was the Prize Speaking Contest, which was held on May 20 and brought the activi- ties of our Junior year to a happy and successful close. Then, on September 7, 1938, 75 boys and girls began -their Senior year. They were happy on that first day of school, proud of their new exalted rank NINE MEMOIRS YEN as Seniors, but realizing at the same time the responsibilities and work which lay ahead of them. On September 19, t-he first class meeting was held wi-th Mr Lahr as our adviser. The following ofhcers were elected for the year: President, Robert Jackson: Vice-President, Keith Harding: Secretary, Charlotte Tucker: and Treasurer, Nathan Lesh. In the latter part of September the class conducted the annual magazine campaign, which proved to be very successful. On Decemf ber 15, one of the leading events of the Senior year took place-the selection of our class colors, cherry and cream, and of our pennant, caps, and emblem. In March our class again went to Lafayette College, where we enjoyed seeing the play Hamlet During the year various dances were held in the high school, at which everyone had a great deal of fun. The spring of the year brought with it the most important Senior events. One of the most anticipated was the ban- quet at Pocono Manor, which was held on May 19. It was a happy occasion which all of us will long remember. We are now looking forward to Class Day, Baccalaureate Services, and Commencement. Our high school life has come to a close, and with it all the happiness and joy which we, as a class, shared together.

Y! ii to f I l l 9 TWENTY-SEVEN MEMOIRS fWENTY'ElGHT Class Poem INVOCATION Mids't the happy mirth of these pages And Youth's ignorance of care Here is one who would pause for a moment To offer an earnest prayer. That the naive grace of our unskilled hands As we grope through the rigors of time Know the honest love of one's fellow man And the blessing of Him divine. And may all of the wishes, so precious to each And dreams numbering seventy and seven Reach the heights of perfection which everyone seeks And the ultimate beauty of Heaven. May the learning acquired in these four joyous years Serve each well in his toil towards the heights And may Sorrow be sparse with her vial of tears As we course through the river of Life. And as age leaves its blight on our physical forms May our minds stand as ignorant of guile As they did and do now, as unknown to shame As the innocent face of a child. I pray too, that for those who know Fame e'er they die And realize the blessing of wealth That they keep humble beauties fore'er in their eyes And not try to glorify Self. And for those who will taste of Adversity's cup Give them strength to make light of their cares And teach them to humbly forever look up Give them hope, Lord, but save them from Fear. May each innocent virgin and pure-hearted maid Find her life in a new-painted home May she prove her true worth with kind actions and staid And help sanctify each blessed stone. We are young, quite unschooled to the evils of life And we humbly await the things we shall find So I have taken pause to offer this prayer I pray, God, save thy censure!! Be kind! KEITH HARDING 1939 1939 Class Prophecy Since we as human beings are blessed with certain inherent desires and longings, and since these manifest themselves in divers ways, one who would foretell must first delve beneath the deceiving outward aspect of the individual and nnd the very root of his character. This would, of course, necessitate the betraying of certain coniidences: how- ever, I must as class prognosticator publish the result of my character survey, and make myself no respector of persons. Herein, you will Iind nothing by essential truths. and a very singular survey it is: for, as a whole, the innate tendencies of the class of 1939, are unfortunately pathetic . . . . most pathetic. Perhaps the most pathetic of our youthful aspirants are those who would revel with Comus in the uncertain gaiety of the entertainment world. Sandy, Davey, Hockin, Lesh, and May are destined for destruction as trumpeteers to his majesty Swing. Following them come Harding, the clarinetist, and Harding of the booming Viol, Elizabeth and Eleanore, vocalists, and the dancers. Kellow, Dennis. Parker, Smith, and yes! Raines, Gutherie, Paynter, Burdell, Hayden. Glenwood, Ruth Parsons, Anona Parsons, Erma Einkbeiner, and Erma George. All these latter, despite their apparent equanimity, harbor passionate longings for the bacchanalian lights of transitory joys. It is deplorable that I must walk past their graves some day and say, Vain, deluded, children. Swing has long since vanished and you with her, and here and there lie scattered the fragments of a broken Bull fiddle ..... Surely, dear reader, you can grasp pathos in -their destinies. Then there is Richard, who, realizing the value of a uniform and shining buttons in his amatory indulgences, has sought the profession of the sword: but he is to die also, leaving behind a world of weeping femininity. Meredith has daunted my character analysis somewhat, having for three years displayed a liking for Swing. Lately his tendencies have been decidely prosaic in appearances. Yes, I believe he will fortunately yield to a more do- mestic calling than Swing. Mildred will turn to the imploring hand of the Muse of Literature, while Laenore will commercialize on the glorious profession of Artist. Elaine has confided a desire to be a poetess. . Being a simple soul I have found that I cannot ferret out the true depths of the characters of the intellectuals in the class, and must be contnt with mere assumption as to their hidden emotions. These following are to be affiliated with the term Intellectualism too, having physical characteristics-namely, a broad forehead and an open drooping mouth. which are generally attributed to intellectuals. Virginia Hendershot, Fonda Nichols, Lois Nichols, and Carolyn Nolf are four of the intellectuals. Smickley is surely an intellectual who discourages analysis. His varied interests, however, betray either a great genius, or the curious stupidity of the mentally unbalanced. Dally, Sanantonio, Rissmiller, Musselman, all these tread the thin line which separates Genius from mere blankness of mind. ff TWENTY NINE MEMOIRS MEMOIRS Deitz will spend his early years baffling unsuspecting batters with his streaking white spheriod. Man, a gregarious mammal by instinct, has since the dim ages sought the company of his fellows. This association has invariably resulted in producing certain beings who have continually labored under the impression that their wisdom was of a higher quality than that of their brothers. These creatures then, literally exuding learning, enter the pedigogical profession and proceed to instruct those less fortunate. 39 has produced several of this odd species, Lola Cory, Orella Mann, Norma Miller, Barbara Frutchey, Evelyn I-larron, Virginia Harris, and may some divine benevolence shelter their pupils in the years to come. In the course of my survey, I came upon two classmates, one Robert Doney, and friend, Irving Cowling, employed in the singularly mundane occupation of tearing the limbs from little flies, I hurried apprehensively past them and finally after much contemplation, concluded that they must certainly become either dentists, since their tasks betrayed a natural affinity for cruelty, or psychiatrists, since they would be admirably equipped to diagnose ailings with which they were familiar through personal afflictions. Allen Sabatino and Hayden Palmer have at different times betrayed the fact that they have derived a morbid pleasure from breaking windows and hearing the pleasant tinkling of glass which follows. This, unfortunately, reveals innert criminal tendencies, and I must needs warn them, lest some day the angels weep for their shortcomings. Ernest Parsons, Dominic Rondinelli, and Robert Williams are destined to become connoisseurs of the fine foods having already established a name for themselves as gourmets and an honest affection for epicurean dainties. He who has not heard of the peerless oratory of Thomas Bavaria or witnes- sed the gestures and ejaculations of that energetic personage as he outlined some phase in his argument to a quaking opponent in the halls of our edifice of learn- ing has missed an inspiring sight. Surely, the world will welcome this genius of eloquence upon his forthcoming graduation. Jackson, whose grandiose stage airs have in the past proven exceptionally provocative to laughter, will continue professionally to render his unsuspecting patrons to helpless with mirth. Alfred Powell is attempting to establish a claim which asserts that he is the originator of Fooisrn C A new creed which finds its origin in the word Fool and he has vowed to devote his life to the extermination of all other counterfeit claiments to the honor. A just cause, Alfred! A just cause! Carmen Ceaser, Emerson Weidman,Alfred BroWn,and Stanley Van Gorden have upon different occasions during their rearing attempted to yield to the call of the open road, and it was only through great restraint that their parents had discouraged these weaknesses. They have since then made several attempts to appease this indomitable longing that wells up within their breasts, and it was only a happy lack of funds that again restrained them. They have told me of their wanderlust and said that upon graduation they will surely yield to it and will ignore their financial status. This, of course, is vulgarly referred to as hoboing and is to be deplored. THIRTY 53 1939 1939 William Davey in his tender years so loved milk that all things else became trite and inconsequential, and I believe his plans for dairy farming may find an explanation and derivation in his being allergic to this product of the humble bovine. Doris Finkbeiner has resorted to worr1an's inalienable right to indecision and sees no dennite future for herself. I fear that if she pause too long, she will be obliged to entrust her future to the discretion of some discerning male. .Ioyce Cousines, Irene Wagner, Hilda Matlock, Gloria Hill, Jeanne Rotzell. Elva Rotzell, and Edythe Davies are all making the necessary preparations for the establishment of a happy home by learning the culinary arts and the intri- cacies of button-sewing, ironing, and all other arts of domesticity. What is that adage? A man's stomach is through his heart? -No-Oh well, they do show a remarkable foresight, don't they? Bessie Edwards, Lucina Glasser, Betty Honey, Nellie Lugg, Winifred Parsons, and Catherine Rumbold are of a very demure and retiring nature, and outwardly have shown very little emotion, however, there is, as I have already informed you, always that hidden desire that manifests itself sooner or later. The longer it is suppressed, so much greater will it become when it finally does break its bounds. This concludes our little interlude of introversion, and if my predictions have incurred the disfavor of anyone, I can offer only my sincerest apologies and beg to remain Your Humble and Obedient Servant KEITH HARDING THIRTY ONE MEMOIRS MEMOIRS YHlRTV'TWO Honor Society Lola Cory Norma Dennis Bessie Edwards Doris Finkbeiner Barbara Frutchey Virginia Harris Elizabeth Hontz Nellie Lugg Orella Mann Norma Miller Marian Parker Mildred Phillips Arlene Raines Jeanne Rotzell Catherine Rumbold Flora Small Aletha Schmauder Laenore Yeisley Alfred Brown William Davey Robert Doney Richard Fedon Robert Jackson Nathan Lesh Charles May Dominic Rondinelli Tony Sanantonio Donald Sandercock 1939 MEMOIRS f f Junior Prize Speaking Contest The Shadow of the Sword .......,...,...,...,........,.

During the year the club has been successful in its several business undertak- ings and also in its social affairs. It was responsible for the placing of an electric score-board in the High School gymnasium, and many other school activities too numerous to mention, as well as holding several hikes, dances, and parties.

Pen Argyl H igb School Band The most noteworthy event of the Band this year was the provision of very attractive new uniforms. These were displayed to the public by a parade through the main streets of town. The only formal affair of the Band was the ' Annual Spring Concert. However, the Band participated in several other parades and gave another concert at Lehigh University, FORTY-TWO 77 l 1939 MEMOIRS DRUM MAJOR Marion Parker COLOR GUARD Donald Johnson Sigmund Catino Luthur Bond Charles DeNardo STANDARD BEARERS Laenore Yeisley Doris Pinkbeiner Nevis Visentin GLOCKENSPEIL Irene Kellow CLARINETS Clair Harding Charlotte Tucker Gloria Hughes Arlene Bennington Doris Parsons Gladys Beck Harriet Godshalk Harvey Gist Caroline Hughes Arlene Barber Marie Williamson Donald Bieler Jack May Douglas Harding Band Personnel TROMBONES LeRoy Ziegenfuss Donald Harris Robert Meredith BARITONES Robert Doney Donald Tinney CORNETS Solo Donald Hockin Donald Sandercock William Davey Jack Gove Herbert Knapp First Charles May Conrad Martin William Sloggett Second Glynn Davies Nathan Lesh Velma Finkbeiner Ada Marlatt Maurice Bitz Dante DeBerardinis Fred Miller Henry Parsons Reynold Powell HORNS Marion Doney Harry Branch Charles Davey Robert Stopp FLUTE AND PICCOLO Mary Jane Ede Edith Davies SAXOPHONES Bernard Schmauder BASS HORNS Charles Harding Hayden Palmer DRUMS Bass Robert Trexler Cymbals Thomas Bavaria Snare Drums Willis Brown Allen Sabatino Thelma Palmer Fred Male Harold Savercool SARRUSOPHONE Richard Fedon FORTY YHREE MEMOIRS -.l -.2 lla' 'l We J-1'-'il . . . i.....,........ . -1--- ---5 ,, - f' JJL..- 1112! . , -st --' 1 'rv----H -. f.-rr--f -- -W. ,,. , I Girls' Glee Club The Glee Club has been the usual busy-body this past year. Commendable concerts were given at the Evangelical Church at Bangor, the County Institute of Teachers at Pen Argyl High School. the Pen Argyl Woman's Club, the Pen Argyl Junior Woman's Club and the East Stroudsburg High School. At Christ- mas, a very effective pageant called The Nativity conmbined with a Candle- light Service was presented in the High School auditorium. The biggest event of the year was the presentation of the operetta Oh Doctor! which Was, incidentally, a great success. Following this was the Annual Spring Concert, which also met with much approval. Selections at Baccalaureate closed the club's activities. FORTY FOUR 1939 MEMOIRS Gle Direclress ,, ..,,.,, ., .

Captain 19 3 8 Robert Williams FORTY EIGHT 1939 Football NORTHAMPTON-27 PEN ARGYL-0 Making use of forward passes, long and short, with Captain Evans doing most of the receiving, mixed with powerful line plays the Orange and Black Konkrete Kids defeated the Green and White gridders of Pen Argyl High 27 -0. Numerous weaknesses were detected in Pen Argyl's defense and offense with the Argylites threatening only once. CATASAUQUA-13 PEN ARGYL-0 Unable to penetrate the Pen Argyl forward wall Catty took to the air, completing two touchdown passes, to turn in a hard earned 13-0 victory. Showing considerable improvement due to hard work of coaches Poust and Angstadt, the Slate Belters several times drove deep into enemy territory only to lose possession on intercepted passes. It was a clean hard fought game played before a crowd of 2500 people on the Catasauqua field. STROUDSBURG-0 PEN ARGYL-26 .. Eager for victory after two severe setbacks, the Pen Argyl team unleased an offensive attack including line-bucking, passes, laterals, and end runs. This pow- erful offensive play, not seen in either of the two previous games, proved too much for the Strouds whose defense line was good but showed little in way of attack. At no time did the mountaineers threaten to score. NAZARETI-I-13 PEN ARGYL-7 After Pen Argyl had monopolized the offense in the first half, pushing over one touchdown, an inspired Nazareth team unleased a penetrating last half attack to overcome the 7 point deficit. Due to intense rivalry, the game was hard-fought throughout and provided many thrills for the spectators. WILSON-O PEN ARGYL-9 Much superior throughout the game a well-drilled, hard-fighting Pen Argyl High team clicked over the Blue and Gold of Wilson. The only touch- down came, when Pen Argyl receiving the ball on the kickoff, trampled 70 yards to score. A safety culminated when the hard-charging anxious line rushed through to block a Wilson punt. Several times the Pen Argyl team marched deep into enemy territory only to have penalities prevent further scoring. COPLAY-O PEN ARGYL-46 In a game featured by long runs and passes, the Pen Argyl gridders ran roughshod over Coplay High to chalk up a second league victory. This smoothly functioning performance showed that Pen Argyl was a team to be feared. The big thrill of the game came when Donald Toth, a 120 pound freshman back, ran 35 yeards for the last touchdown. WI-IITEHALL-6 PEN ARGYL-24 After Whitehall had scored at the expense of a Pen Argyl fumble in the very shadow of their goal post, a fighting Pen Argyl team rose in all its fury to down a gallant but greatly out-classed Whitehall eleven to the tune of 24-6. This proved Pen Argyl's ability as mudders for the game was played on a rain soaked field. FORTY N NE MEMOIRS MEMOIRS 193 I I FIFTY 79 EASTON RESERVES-0 PEN ARGYI.-l 9 A razzle-dazzle type of offense, displayed under the giant arc lights, proved the defeat of the Easton High Reserves. A brilliant victory was turned in when deception carried the ball across the goal line three times. BANGOR-7 PEN ARGYL-0 On a gridiron blanketed with snow and ice, the Pen Argyl 4 and 7 met defeat before a chill-thrilled crowd. The efforts of both teams were of no avail for three periods when the inevi- table break came. John Dally, a former classmate, ran successfully to a 77 yard touchdown on an off-tackle play after a momentary fumble. Despite the keen rivalry between the two teams an exhibition of sportmanship was displayed. Was this not a victory for both teams? Player William Davey ....

I --5, Basketball Pen Argyl's second year of Basketball proved reasonably successful despite their handicap of inexperience. With the close supervision of Mr. Angstadt and Mr. Poust, the team managed to win four games, losing several only after very hard fighting. Intramural Boxing Through the efforts of Mr. Angstadt, Physical Education teacher, intramural boxing was introduced into P. A. H. S. Although the contests were far from being polished performances many thrilling bouts were produced. Great interest was taken in the sport and it is hoped that in future years more pupils will avail themselves of the opportunities to learn a little of this manly art. The champions in various classes are: Floyd Blake, 85 pounds: Fred Jones, 95 pounds: Arthur Roberts. 105 pounds: Nathan Lcsh. ll5 pounds: Jack Parker. 125 pounds: Edgar Dietz. unlimited. 4' FIFTY-ONE MEMOIRS Q L... if 1939 MEMGIRS INDIVIDUAL SCORING Richard Fedon William Davey Donald Sandercock Weston Lugg Robert Sandercock Clair Harding 95 points 82 points 63 points 58 points 29 points 24 points 14 4 LETTERMAN RICHARD FEDON WILLIAM DAVEY DONALD SANDERCOCK WESTON LUGG ROBERT SANDERCOCK CLAIR HARDING Robert Jackson points Enrico Segatti points VARSITY SCHEDULE Fl-FSI' Half They We Second Half They Coplay 50 29 Bangor 25 Wilson 23 28 Coplay 29 Nazareth 40 33 Wilson 26 E.

Although a very inexperienced team was placed on the Held, the coopera- tion and hard work of both players and coaches plus some excellent pitching by Jim Dietz Won the championship of the Northern Division of this league with a record of 5 wins and l defeat. The Green and White, winners of North- ern Divisions, will play a game to determine champions of the league in the near future.
